I like the square shape of the watch and the map ...
I use this watch when going outdoors or when I'm working out. I like the square shape of the watch and the map on the watch. It is a very practical watch and is extremely easy to read which is why I bought it. I sometimes even wear it just to wear because of how simple it is to read the watch. This digital watch was basically perfect for what I needed in the sports watch. It includes features such as dual time, countdown timer, stopwatch, and a light to read the watch at night. The face is around 40mm which I think is good size because I have a skinny wrist. The watch has an over greenish tint for the display which I personally like. I also like how the face is square shaped with makes it look a bit more unique compared to other sport watches in its category and price range. I have used this watch for a few months now and I think it is rather durable because I do no take any care to it and still looks as if I just got it. I would definitely recommend someone this watch if they needed something that could tell them accurately what time is and some basic features. The watch even has a world map function which I think is pretty cool but I personally don't use it that much because I don't move to different time zones.

Reading glasses?
The title of this review is to let people know if you use reading glasses this may not work for you. I sometimes wear reading glasses for working on my phone or my laptop and sadly required for reading the day and date on this little watch, the time is still perfectly readable . Sad but true.Nothing wrong with the watch just my eyes.Now, once I pop on my glasses it's very crisp and clean dial is very readable and a pleasure to work with. I found multiple youtube videos with instructions to set it up fully and I have a handle on every function and am very happy with it setup. It's a $30 watch and I collect watches so certainly a keeper but just be aware that if you use reading glasses you may only be able to see the time not the date.Even though I can't read everything on the dial, seeing the tiny little green map every time I look at the watch gives me a little bit of pleasure and makes me feel like a spy hunter every time.

Fun watch with a lot going on.
I really like the green world time map. As another reviewer put it, it looks more earthy. The digital analog world clock (in the circle) is pretty tiny and the hands are thin. It's also kinda hard to differentiate the hour from minute hands. This watch does a lot. If I put my old guy glasses on and practice, I'm getting better with it. I'm glad I got it. Thanks. Oh, mine came shipped in a bag and feltish pouch which struck me as odd. I think maybe this is because this version is not USA market. But, the watch checks all the authentic boxes and works great. I'm happy.

Another Casio classic
Just when I thought I had enough variety of Casio watches this one catches my eye. So many little touches make it one of my favorite pieces. From the square design which I usually overlook, to the analog clock. While it would be even better had it been a compass It still is nice and the moving second hand is useful. Having so many time zones available is nothing I may never utilize, great for those that travel with every location to scroll through easily or set as a main 3. I also really liked the green color for the map and how it contrasts along with the other tan accents.The size I was worried could be too big but it's perfect, all the numbers are easy to read even the analog clock. My wrist is about 7" but anything much smaller I wouldn't recommend as it would be way too large unless you like that kind of look. It feels very light on the wrist though either way.All the buttons depress easily with a good spring to them. The orange backlight looks great and lights the whole screen unlike the cheaper models that just have one side. Can also set how long you want it to stay lit between 1 or 3 seconds, love that.The stock rubber strap is certainly comfortable though I wanted something nicer. Replaced it with a nice nylon strap in a khaki color that I find gives a far better look, especially with this model having green and tan already in it. I would stick to a traditional strap instead of a NATO style one for this.For my digital watches this has become one of my favorites, lot of great features, well designed and affordable.

GOD Tier Watch
Saw this watch in different variations and this one stands out much better, with the green world map and gold accents. Lots of features, lightweight and sporty. All around excellent watch.

Nice watch with great features
This watch looks great and has a nice vintage, even campy feel about it (you will get James Bond comments wearing it). Backlight is good, world time feature is excellent and it is comfortable and easy to read. My only gripe is the crystal is resin and not mineral like my G-Shock so it does scratch very easily. I managed to put some hairline scratches into mine by wiping it with a soft towel.
