Title: Limited Useful Life
Review: The good news is that the watch worked very well for 2-1/2 years. Nice look, cool "waveceptor" nightly (or more accurately, once in awhile) true-up for the time setting, and more features than I needed. Great. Then the digital and analog time went wonky so I had the battery replaced ($25 at a jewelry store, which seemed high, and the watch guy who was used to Rolexes and Breguets looked at the Casio like it was going to bite or infect him). After that the watch lost its mind, with the digital and analog not syncing up. No idea what the problem is, but the watch is essentially useless. If you view a $50 watch as disposable, this watch would work for you, at an amortized cost of $20 per year. Perhaps that's reasonable, but it wasn't what I expected. However, I really liked the watch, and so I am buying another Casio that is essentially the same but with a solar-charging feature. Perhaps that will avoid the battery-replacement meltdown.
