The distinctive digital display features four asymmetrically divided mini-windows inside the round, brushed stainless steel bezel.

The upper window displays the month and date, and the lower two windows display the day of the week and the waveceptor receiving signal. This watch also offers a daily alarm, countdown timer, 1/100 second stopwatch and an EL backlight with afterglow. The elegant stainless steel band with fold-over clasp and double push-button safety release completes the look.

Great watch! Love it! This watch with such a low price is a good deal. One unexpected feature I like the most is I can choose to display the day of the week in different languages. The radio signal icon shows how strong the signal is at the location. I can also choose to turn the radio signal on and off, or manually set the time. Another good feature is when you switch to another mode other than the timekeeping mode, such as stop watch or world time, the current time still shows on the top of the screen.
Bigger than expected. The description for this watch said it was 11 mm in thickness. It's actually 12.5 mm. It's fatter than I would like but it's not horrible. It's atomic so it's accurate and only 35 bucks. However if I had known it was 12.5 mm I wouldn't have bought it.

Customer Reviews
Excellent Value! Excellent watch. Exactly the type of of everyday sport watch that I was looking for. The Atomic Digital is great and precise. Buy this watch. You don't need to spend a $1000 on any other Sports Watch.
So Far So Good, But.... This watch has the features, weight/feel that I wanted for work. (HEMS) The "atomic time" feature coincides exactly with our helicopter's Garmin 530 radios. The backlight lasts long enough after pressing to write down and view times without repeating over and over again. The only reason I gave a 3/5 is the watch arrived without instructions. None. I do not know if that was a Seller issue (Chelsea) or Manufacturer. (Casio) I have enough gadgetology experience that I could eventually figure it out. I prefer instructions and if I cannot find any on-line, it may take a while. (Syncing the radio signal, changing from Central Time to Pacific, changing the 12 hr format to 24 hr, etc.) Overall, this is exactly what I have been looking for. Addendum: Go to Casio's website. Enter in the 4 (or 3) digit number from the back of your watch and it has a library of all the relevant instructions manuals in pDF format. Which, come to think of it, is a little easier to read than those manuals they usually put under the display box. But it is an additional hassle if you don't have internet access.
Very reliable so far I've had the watch a couple of months now. The only minor problem is that I have to put the watch by a window each night (if I want the watch to sync with the atomic clock). Other than that, setting it up was a little time consuming. And when I travel, I'll have to pull out the manual to figure out how to do the time zone change. But I do recommend it. It provides all the info you need....day of week, date, year, and time to within the second.
