A nice stainless steel watch, ok for dress and sport.
br /The things I like:
br /Style
br /Band and clasp
br /World Time
br /Alarm (see below)
br /Stopwatch
br /Date
br /The things I don't like:
br /the numbers are stinkin hard to see and I have 20/20 vision, you have to tilt the watch to see it at times.
br /The alarm is too quiet and too short. I prefer the loud beep and length of the Timex Ironman alarm.
br /When you are using world time(another city) the date and day aren't visible. After a long trans-con flight I need to know the day and date(not only the time) where I am.
br /If your not completely familiar with airport codes, some cities are mysteries.
br /
br /All in all, it's a cool watch, just waiting for the improvements, the pinkish white digital numbers are a cool idea, even better if it was functional.

This is my 3rd Baby G watch and my favorite because the band is metal and not plastic, so it won't discolor over time. I always use it to check the date and the countdown timer feature comes in handy.
Stylish and functional

I'm really happy with this product.
br /The points raised about the face being difficult to read on certain angles is quite right, and I was initially somewhat worried about this, but I haven't had any trouble with it at all.
br /To explain better, when directing your wrist towards you to read the watch, the numbers are clearly visible and readable.
br /It's if the watch is angled away from you that the numbers become hard to see, and lets face it - you don't attempt to read your watch when the face is pointing somewhere else, other than towards you.
br /I've had Baby G watches in the past and I love them, however after a while the resin straps tend to discolour and become quite unsightly, so what I love about this particular model is that the strap is metal and is likely to last a lot longer than the resin/jelly straps.
br /Being silver means you can wear it with something dressy and it blends in with your other silver jewellery, and of course, it has all the usual functions, bells and whistles.
br /The best Baby G I've had yet, and no cause for complaint, no issues with it.

I was a bit surprised with the size, but I didn't mind.
br /The numbers were a bit harder to read, but I got used to it.
br /However, after using the watch for a few months, I went on a vacation
br /to California. It was about 100 F~degrees or over, and the
br /resin portion of the watch - especially at the sides surrounding
br /the buttons - were melting, and bending.. and the watch was always
br /on my wrist - I didn't put it directly in the sun or anything, just
br /normal wear. After a while, the silver paint on the resin started to
br /peal, and so I was able to wear this watch for about a year in total.
br /
br /Maybe my case may have been a rare mishap, but I wanted to
br /let you know before you invest money on this watch.

After reading the other reviews I was a little hesitant to buy this watch, but ordered it anyway. I LOVE this watch!! It's durable and very attractive; goes with everything, from sporty to classy! The time can be a little hard to see at times, but all I have to do is turn my wrist a little. The band was too large for my wrist, but $5 at a watch repair shop fixed that. I have had no problems and get compliments on it often. Some women like the dainty watches with small faces, but if you like a slightly larger than normal womens watch, I highly recommend this one!!
absolutely awesome watch for my teenage daughter!!

My daughter has a "special need" to be able to learn actual time. BUT- she has to have all of the numbers displayed. I had originally bought her a nice watch with the 12 the 3 the 6 and the 9 diplayed....all four corners. The rest were all tics. I thought it was cute. She needs more of the "fill-in-the-blanks" to get a real grip on it all. That's fine....cuz I really liked that watch and Iuse it for work....and play.SO.....I found this other watch that looks really cool and is DIGITAL!!!! No mistakes in reading that sucker, there! And it looks really cool!So...Momm buys the watch for teenage daughter to wear to school.So she can tell time and be hip while she does it. Amen Amen Mom has prevailed........and got herself a nice watch out of it as well.hee hee.jeeese....i'm tired. Time for a power nap. Night turn of America.............go to bed.
Can't read the display

I was not happy with this watch. I purchased it and returned it the next day. The display is so difficult to read I have to tilt my wrist to catch the light just perfectly to see the silver numbers. The back light was pretty whimpy as well and did not help much in the dark. The watch has all the functions I could want and is a metal bracelet with a digital face, but it just took too long to try and figure out the time and anything in smaller numbers/letters was almost impossible to read. It is quite large for a women's watch as well. It is chunky and sits up pretty high off your wrist. Casio is a good brand and I'm sure it's a great watch, I just could not read it without 30 seconds of struggling. I've ordered another Casio watch because I love the functionality with the classy look, but I want to make sure I can tell the time when I need to and not worry about the lighting in the room.
Sweet Poison is a super sweet buy

I love the watch. I get tons of complements. The only qualm I have is that the face sometimes is difficult to see. It's just a bit more modern and sophisticated. However, it is exactly what I was looking for. It's sporty and casual at the same time it's very classy. I love Casio Baby-G watches and this exemplifies why I like the products.
Too big, impossible to see

I was so excited when the watch arrived only to be disappointed. I do not have small wrists, but this "womens" watch was big enough to fit a large man. Also, it was impossible to see the digital display unless you turned the background light on. I knew that the contrast was not as dark as other watches, but this was ridiculous. I would definately rethink buying this one...

I ordered this watch but when I got it in the mail I received the all silver version. They told me the reason they sent me the wrong color was because the pink one was sold out in hopes that I would change my mind and just accept it. I changed my mind altogether and returned it and purchased a differnt watch.
extremely nice item!!

I'm always pretty strict on watch. I'm a big fan of casio, especially baby-g, and I always want my watch to be stainless steel, cos the other materials may be hard to clean and they worn out. This one fulfills all my demand. The most important thing is, it looks better on your arm and it looks on the screen!
