I think this is my 4th or 5th Casio Databank watch. The two features that I use most are the calculator and the alarms. Years ago, before PDAs, I used the phone number feature also. Each of my Databank watches have lasted for years with only a band replacement and battery every couple of years.
After several years of use, the letters on the keypad darken a bit and unless you've got great vision, they are harder to read.
When I travelled to Europe several years ago, it was nice to have the world clock screen so I could see what time it was back home as well as view the local time.
I really enjoy the background lighting on this watch. It lights up the entire screen and not just from a light source on the side of the screen.

This is a great and useful watch. I am on my third one. When I was working as a deputy sheriff it was great for saving numbers like lock combinations and alarm codes. The memory is great it is easy to read. It is durable and nice looking.
There are only two down items. One: Data entry. It is difficult and takes forever. Two: Scrolling through the memory. Needs to be a push button function.

Effortless shopping for the product that I could not find in the store and the price was much better. Shipping was fast and efficient.

I have used calculator watches since I bought my first one in 1986. And I have now owned 3 of these. This is the good old standard, durable and functional and well-performing. There are "better" models that I have had which sacrifice usability for larger screen space, but they are so convoluted that you have to read a 700 page manual in order to learn how to use it. By contrast, this one is mostly straight-forward, with only a few special features needing a manual or experimentation to be learned.
My last watch was the "superior" e-Data Bank, which was effectually useless, IMHO. When the watch started giving me strange, intermittent power issues, I gladly used the excuse to buy another one of these.
One of these watches will last you a few years, until you have beaten it to heck and it finally starts to fall apart from wear and tear. The most common issue is scratching the crystal face from brushing your hand against a wall. But then, that will happen to any watch.
The one thing that will not last very long on this watch is the band. I will go through about 8 wristbands throughout the life of this watch. But the occasional band and replacing batteries once or twice a year is fine, considering this watch has a typical life for me of about 4 to 5 years.
I have had the earlier models with the tiny white light illuminating the face, but the electroluminescent ("EL") light on this is superb. It puts out so much light, in fact, that I sometimes use it as an impromptu flashlight in the dark of night. Do that a few hundred times, and there goes the battery. ;-)
I also prefer this watch because of its number of buttons. The "more advanced" (notice I keep using quotation marks when referring to the other piece of useless technology) watch will use one fewer row of buttons, so that simple operations require more button presses, and it becomes ridiculous to do simple things like calculating the mpg for the latest fill-up on my car. Heck, it didn't even have a memory function like this one does!
I do have to say that I would love to see Casio build the ultimate watch, based off of this platform. They have had MP3 player watches and still have a few versions of TV remote controls on watches, but they of course sacrifice calculator functionality to do so. Shame. I would like to see even an advanced version of this watch, with larger memory pages, allowing more text and including (more usable) e-mail addresses, for instance, which the e-Data Bank claimed to be able to do (but I still couldn't get it after months of experimenting, and the manual was ridiculous).
My first calculator watch had a Space Invaders-style game on it, as well as a tone generator, so that you could play music by pressing keys on the keypad. Thinking of this and with the advances in other electronics, I keep thinking this watch should be capable of more bells and whistles, but of all the calculator watches out there today, this is the most useful and usable.
And in case I haven't been clear on the fact, using the functions on this watch are mostly intuitive. You don't have to do funky key presses to get certain things to work. And the two-week calendar display of upcoming events is very nice. All the info you need is right there when you look at it. And so on...
Do not waste your money on any other version of this or any other watch. This is the one! :-) Enjoy!

I've owned 2 of these and tried other watches... none have the same features for the money. It's easy to learn to use also.
