What Casio managed to do really well on this particular watch is the fit on the wrist and general feel. It's some rubber wings connected to the ring that may appear odd on the first look but actually are very helpful for the grasp of this watch. Due to these wings, the watch will not slip off the wrist even if water or oil is involved. On a boat or a ship, gas spill can be very frequent, but luckily, this watch won't be an issue on this matter.

The negative display is quite decent and is backed by an LED backlight for illumination which has the panels fragmented in 3 distinct windows each having a specific functionality. On the sides, Casio decided to use the ordinary four buttons for reset, countdown timer start/stop, mode and fix which are simple to operate and anyone who possessed a G-Shock in the past knows quite well. In addition to that, it is also solar powered so that you won't bother changing batteries.
