The learning curve on this watch if you use it for fishing may take some time. The moon phase is nice to know about and the sunrise and sunset is pretty cool too, but I didn’t give this watch 5 stars because for the money it didn’t give me the one option I used more than any other on previous cheaper watches, a timer. This one has the stopwatch but there is no timer you can set for say 10 or 15 minutes. It keeps great time so far, but that’s typical of Casio. The backlight is very bright, enough so that you can almost use it as a flashlight, and the option on this model where you can set it for the backlight to come on everytime you hold your arm a certain way is cool. If you’re looking for a good water proof timepiece and you don’t really care about the timer issue, this is the one. And yeah I’m vain about what it looks like on my arm; it looks manly and cool.

My boyfriend had an older model of this watch that he wore for work and play for years. He wore it while fighting forest fires and fishing in the PNW, and it held up great. I bought this watch for him as a Christmas gift, and he loved it. It looks great, is comfotable and was reasonably priced. Hopefully it has the lasting power of his previous one.

great watch with some surprising features… vibrates instead of beeping on the hour – moon stages based on your lat/longitude and an illumination option activated whenever you turn your wrist as if you were looking at the time….
well worth the price!

I bought this watch for my fishing addicted oldman.
I did all the setup for him. He loves the watch, he wears it even not go fishing. His friends keep asking where to get one.
Its not too big as i thought.
Very nice leather, cloth band and 100m water resist,5stars for the moon phase feature.
Too bad it doesnt have navigator and tide chart, not with $35 lol…
A very nice, fun and afordable gift.

I haven’t ever seen a watch like this. It’s much more than just a sports watch. They have crammed a bunch of features into a small space.
My favorite is the vibrating alarm. I haven’t ever seen that on a watch before. The automatic light is amazing as well. You can set the watch so the light comes on when you tip it at a 45 degree angle. This is a feature you can turn on or off.
As far as the other features, I’m not a hunter, but see a lot of uses for non-hunters. The watch actually knows when the sun and moon rise and set based on coordinates for your area. The sound alarm works well. You can set up to 5 different alarms for different times of the day.
If you’re a hunter, this is the perfect watch! It tells you the ideal feeding times and hunting times based on coordinates for your area. You would be able to know a bunch of information with minimal body movement.
The only negative is the camouflage wrist band, but that can be easily replaced. It’s also a hunting watch, so that’s probably a positive if I were a hunter. I just got the watch because I’m a gadget guy.
