Just bought a second after daily use for about 4 years
I've been wearing one of these for about 4 years now and I have no real complaints. For not much money you get what I think is quite a cool watch (I've received a few compliments on it too) which is really reliable and comfortable and has all of the features I could imagine you'd need. It shows the date and day of the week clearly, the light does a good enough job, the strap is adjustable and it has an alarm, chime and stopwatch.My old one was starting to look quite rough, although I haven't exactly treated it carefully - wearing it in workshops and labs, in the sea, camping and all sorts of things that have caused it to get battered and beaten. The gold finish had started to wear out and show the copper-coloured metal underneath but functionally it was still sound and the plastic on the face was remarkably scratch-resistant. That was why I have been looking for a replacement for a while but had been unable to find one (and I specifically wanted this model because it's a nice slim design and is made in Japan). I was really pleased when this listing showed up then, and ordered one straight away.I can only see two main differences between this and my older one. Firstly, they now come in a box labelled "vintage" and secondly, they seem to have changed the design of the strap slightly. It feels slightly more stiff than on my old one, and where it was previously gold coloured on top and bare stainless on the inside of the strap, the hole thing is now coloured gold. Other than that it seems to be the same - still slim and comfortable, still reliable, and still cheap and cheerful.Also possibly worth noting that although I've had allergic reactions to the metals used in some other watches, I've never had any trouble with this. Oh, and although this listing says it's a women's watch, I'm a bloke. The watch doesn't seem to have noticed yet.

Retro bling at a bargain price
Superb watch bringing a bit of retro bling at a bargain price - I'm sure these were near enough £100 back in the day!One of my sons wanted it for his 11th birthday and the size is just right. The strap can be fairly easily adjusted once you work out how to unclip the locking hasp. He loves it and it looks very smart on him.Unfortunately it is not waterproof to any depth, so take it off near water, such as when washing up etc.To clarify, there is an illuminate button that puts on a small light to the left so you can see the display in the dark.

Sets the gold standard
Bought this to complement stainless steel Casio A164WA-1VES retro digital and this is even classier. The look is slim and expensive but only you will know the great price you've paid. I don't remember this watch looking as good as this in the 80s; I'm sure it was clunkier and harder to read. Maybe it's my poor memory or maybe it's the slimmer, lighter materials. Instructions are clear and it takes only 5 minutes to have it set up in the format you prefer. Alarm is very gutsy from such a small thing of beauty. Looks great with a dark suit, crisp white shirt and a very dry vodka martini..

Decent, fairly cheap, stylish watch
I just received the product today and my first impressions are good. It's a reasonably priced fashionable, functional watch.Don't expect anything too fancy. It's a little flimsy and I would have liked it if it was a little heavier but it fits comfortably.Functionally, it works perfectly. I own the black Casio F-91W digital watch and this one works the same. This watch features an alarm clock and stopwatch.As expected, the watch is aesthetically pleasing and I'm satisfied with the way it looks. Although the gold tone is looks slightly cheap, it's expected honestly.The watch is easily adjusted size-wise and I had no difficulty making it a little smaller.Pros:CheapStylishFunctions wellComfortableCons:Slightly flimsyLooks a little cheapLittle too light weight-wiseI'm giving this product 4/5 stars. Excellent watch and my only gripes are very minimalistic.

Retro excellence
This watch is superb. I had one very similar to this when I was at school in the early 1980's and I loved that one. To have the opportunity to own a new one now and bring back many memories was too good a chance to miss.The watch itself is stylish and comfortable. I did have half a thought that it may look like bling, but that's not the case at all.The strap is very easy to adjust and can be changed in a few moments if necessary.A watch that includes time, day, date, alarm, stopwatch and back light that looks this good is highly recommended.

Lovely watch.
Got the watch today. Looks nice but sometimes looking at the display the numbers kinda look faded so if you've bad eyesight you might have a bit of difficulty seeing the time and the backlight is a bit weak. I just adjusted the strap and now it's perfect and fits nice. It is water resistent but i wouldn't go swimming or submerge it in water. It is safe with rain or a few splashes of water though. Overall, nice watch i'm liking it very much and it arrived quickly.

Good quality but colour does not match photo
I have the silver version which I wear ever day and love. I wanted to give the gold a go as I wear a gold ring and thought it would match better (lame, I know...). The quality was good as expected but I didn't keep the item because the colour didn't really match that in the photo. The photo makes the gold tone seem rather light and almost understated. In reality the watch is rather, well, yellow. I thought it looked a bit too flash for me. I'd suggest finding some real photos before buying it as the photo here doesn't show its true colour.
