For serious watch users
It's BIG! its HUGE! It's MASSIVE! Absolute MONSTER!You will be surprised how snuggly fits forearm. It's literally glued to my arm. And after couple hours of wearing, I forgot it's size(get use to).Has nice looking and solid strap, with little knob at the bottom end for extra secure.Display is fantastic, contain all the information I need with quick glance. More functions available under button with possibility to HIDE unwanted items from scrolling! Absolutely fantastic. All I need is timer and alarm - with the rest functions hidden - smart ;)No Casio watch could wake me up in the morning (heavy sleeper). But this one, vibrate for 5 secs, then vibrate and ring for another 5 secs to finally ring even louder, vibrate and flash display for another 5 secs. After that, it goes for snooze for 5 minutes and repeat procedure, until switched off. Perfect!You can set different alarms for weekdays, weekends with 3 different tones if desired. That's all I needed.Indiglo - another fantastic feature. Work like a charm. For those who don't know (it's not even mentioned in official manuals) it has a nigh mode. Press and hold indiglo button for couple secs and it's on for 8 hours. What it does? Display gonna be bright whenever you'll be messing up with buttons (scrolling, setting whatever) unlike Casio, you can really use it at night.On top of that, it has couple very nice features, not as important as mentioned above, at least for myself.These are:*Date display order, you can have day-month or month-day (small thing, but huge ;))*Smart Mode button, f.ex. after setting alarm, this button takes you to time keeping display on first press, instead of scrolling through the rest of functions.*Alarm can be a Tone, Vibration or Combination of both as mentioned above*Timer can be used for intervals, single button press to set Stop at the end or Repeat. Love this.Chime, tone buttons, three time zones (manual only) and smart screen (display shows what each button does on pressing). It's honestly does everything I need.I had enough charging my smart watches every day or every other day (Samsung and Apple) so, I have decided to to purchase regular watch. Casio, because... because it's Casio. After missing couple alarms and problems setting up in darkness - Huge problems for Casio - this brand watches are collecting dust on my shelf ;)All sudden, from nowhere my eyes picked this watch.Absolutely love this watch, love the design, the look, the feel, the features and I strongly recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind its size.And it's bargain at 60 quid.Lets see what I'll say after longer use...

Solid chunky oversized watch
Only reason i didn't give this 5 stars is because compared to other watches in my collection it's not quite up there, however, ranking it alongside others of similar value, this is most definitely a 5 star watch.For those of you liking the chunky, wide strap, oversized case look such as with Diesel's Big Daddy, or Police's Dominator, this definitely fits in with that style, only with, in my opinion, a much more ergonomic form factor with perhaps the most snug strap of all of them, and with the good solid weight and tough construction you can expect from Timex.With oversized cases, no matter how large your wrist is, you can at times get movement with the watch slipping around, perhaps not so much with rectangular cases (although with the Dominator this was still an issue because the strap is stiff and doesn't always conform to the wrist shape), however, with round ones like the big daddy, it can happen. The rubber strap here, although not as classy as the leather of Diesel and Police's counterparts, helps this watch stay in place, as well as the rectangular case which hugs the flat of the back of your wrist perfectly.All the buttons are easily accessible and the display is huge and clear even in bright light, and the indiglo night display is dazzlingly strong. It has multiple time zones and alarms with countdown timers and hydration reminders, and both sound and vibration alerts which is perfect for when you are in quiet areas and don't want an alarm going off.Priced at about 80-110 gbp this is a very decent value for money watch, although I got it in an Amazon flash sale for just under 40gbp at which price this was an insane steal.

Brilliant Watch
I'm a big fan of G-Shocks but after seeing this watch I couldn't resist it, especially at this price! The watch is simply brilliant, it fits really well and is very comfortable! The face and numbers are very clear and easy to read. It was no more complicated to set up than any other digital watch I've owned, which is just as well as there are no instructions. It is big, but isn't cumbersome and it looks really well on my wrist. All-in-all a great watch and I'm very happy with it!
