I have a similar SPF-60 watch that has the same type of band. It worked great for over 4 years. I wore it everywhere and it was a great watch - I loved it. Then walking down the hall at work the band broke off the band housing. Found out you just cannot put on a new band. Sending it in to Casio they charge $60 to fix. The band on this watch is the same as the SPF-60. If you look closely there is no easy way to take the band off or on. It breaks where the band housing meets the case. Many other stories out there with the same problem that happens anywhere between 1 year and over 4 years. Watch is too expensive to have a design flaw like this. It is possible every couple years you will be spending $60 to fix the band issue. If this is acceptable, this is an awesome watch.

I have owned this watch for several years and have enjoyed it. I agree with the other comments. I want to add that now it is time to replace the batteries. You will need FOUR batteries at five dollars a piece. So the cost is $20 every five years.

Then you take off the back and replace the batteries. A simple job unless the entire mechanism pops out. Trying to get it back in and working is impossible and I am handy with tools. A micro spring appeared on my work area. I have no idea where it goes or where it came from. When I finally did get it back together some of the buttons did not work. After many attempts I gave up. Also, once you break the seal by opening the back of the watch it is never quite as waterproof as it originally was.

I have been a Casio fan since Casio started making digital watches. I have thrown this one out and plan to buy the solar model so I never have to deal with the problems and costs again.

When people say this watch is big.. they mean REALLY BIG HUGE. Did I mention this watch is a Gigantic Super sized.. MEGLADON? This watch makes my SUV look small. Don't try paddling a kayak with this watch on unless you like making unintentional left hand circles. Additionally, the tidal feature is worthless for the Texas coast.

Once you figure out how to program long, lat and GMT it works fine. One for the buttons fell off and another cracked. Sad part is I don't wear watch mutch. Crappy Construction kills this watch for me, and should keep you from ordering.

Got this for a discounted $150, which isn't too bad for all that it offers.
Pros: I'm not a sea-farer by any means but the compass, baro and thermometers are quity handy and accurate. The display if *very* large and clear. The thermometer is fairly accurate (to the tenth of a degree) - I calibrated it against a digital Oregon Scientific wall mounted thermometer. The barometer trend graph is very handy - you really can predict bad weather judging by the falling graph! It also helps that the watch has multiple alarms.
Cons: The thermometer sensor is affected by body temperature quite a bit. You really need to take off the watch for at least 5 minutes to get a somewhat accurate read on the temperature. Also the buttons for compass and barometer juts out perhaps more than necessary. Because of this at times you end up hitting it even if you don't mean to. The compass direction sensing seems a little inconsistent between successive runs while the watch is worn. The countdown timer is not easy to operate.
