I've always wanted a clock that you simply umbindet and then no longer "take care" of them must. However, the G-Shocks by Casio were too big and too clunky to me. This clock is exactly what you need. It fits perfectly in my narrow (16.5cm) wrist, has radio-Solar, is 200m water resistant and shockproof. On stopwatch, alarm with snooze and countdown timer I do not want to do without. Since the purchase (Dec 2009) I have not yet taken back (yet I still own several watches) and that will remain so. So from me a strong buy recommendation.
