I've been wearing Casio watches for over 50 years and I must say this is one if yhe best looking watches they have ever made. It has many of the features the G-Shocks have withouth the super thick case. I am thin so some watches are just too large but the 6600 fits perfectly. If you look at the measurements be away they are adding the crown and buttons into the figure. I had also ordered screen savers to protect the mineral glass from getting scratched. I recommend it.PROS:Beautiful and masculine.VERY easy to read even at an angle.Nice size for this yype of watch.Many features but even though I won't be using some of them I need a compass.Atomic clock is a HUGE plus for us time police. 😃Solar powered so battery should last 20 years.World time and it's very easy to set.5571 internal movement is easy to use.Very nice silicone band with quick release.Plenty of band holes for thinner wrists.Black buckle looks good.Ither bands will fit.if needed.Easy to use backlight.Glow in yhe dark work fairly well.LOUD alarm.Negative display screen is easy to read.Tells temperature but it must be off your wrist for at least 29 minutes. (This is normal)Altimeter must be set to be accurate and then it works well.Tutorial videos available online.Packed in a wooden box so it looks nice as a gift.CONS:Pricey compared to some other great Casio watches.Band does not have a locking or wratched keeper.Light could be brighter.FYI: Although not a thick watch it may be too thick for formal wear.Makes people want to be like you. 😬This is a fantastic watch. As I get older and my vision dims it's good to have an easy-to-read-at-a-glance watch. If you are looking for a G-Steel or G-Shock but watch something a bit classier this may be what you're looking for.Highly recommended

Great looking, accurate and functional watch
I've had this watch for just over a month now. While it took a few days to figure out all the options available on it, after watching a couple of Youtube videos, I figured it out. It is really quite intuitive once you get the hang of it.I was replacing another Casio solar watch that I have had for many years. I also have several higher end conventional Swiss watches, but this is the one that I normally wear. This watch looks great and has many useful features. I live in California, but it picks up the WWV signal from Colorado almost every night, so the time is accurate to the second at all times. It looks great and is comfortable to wear. I use and enjoy many of the features such as the stopwatch, altimeter and others.If you like the look of the watch, I would highly recommend it to anyone. It is well made, will save a lot of money in batteries and should last for many years.

Fantastic upgrade from the PRW-3500
Owned for 6 months.Prior to owning this watch, I had the PRW-3500 for about 7 years. Still one of the best watches, zero maintenance and does the job it was designed to do with no fuss. Still going strong today (just sits on the window seal to keep the battery topped off).The main reason for purchasing this watch was the design while keeping the same functionality as the PRW-3500 (literally the same watch except it has hands). The PRW-3500 was a bit to 'nerdy' as I got older. If you do not know this watch has a solar panel 'ring' along the edges of the face, it's not a gimmick, it works extremely well, hyper efficient. From my experience the battery's lifespan will typically last greater than 10 years. In this case expect minimal maintenance until then. Prior experience with the PRW-3500, the watch band will give out in 2.5 to 3 years. Hopefully it is not the case with this band. This band is stupid comfortable out of the box, soft and flexible rubber. Altermieter, it works... but not accurate enough, usually off 1 to 2 hundred feet, even if I set the correct altitude, come back after a week its off. Compass, its a compass, works well enough, and will get you where you need to go, however would only use it in emergency situations (your last option). Do not have much experience with the bromater, or knowledge how to use it nor had the need too.The watch is easy to read, but not like a digital watch. However, the hands pop out and are clearly visible/readable in all lighting conditions. This sell listing does not do the lighting on the watch any justice. When you activate the lighting the entire face, not just the hands, illuminates, and along with an LED illumination, everything that is white on the watch is fluorescent, and will illuminate passively, including the white lines on the outer portion of the bezzel. The small display has an LED illumination as well.The watch is very comfortable, and is a watch that I can wear 24/7 without the need of ever taking it off, and I don't.One thing that is a MUST BUY with this watch is a screen protector, like the PRW-3500, the glass is mineral, it's not if, it's when the glass will be scratched. The link below is the protector I found to be the correct glass size, it fits almost perfectly, 38mm, which is annoying because the glass is 38mm. I think once I crack the protector, already went through one (comes with three), I'm going to get the 37mm one.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07STY371X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1In the end, I highly recommend this watch, totally worth the price, and it should (fingers crossed) last a decade.
