Review of the Casio G-Shock model 3255

Just got a new watch for my Birthday and I am a watch lover. Therefore, this will be a continuing review. My newest watch is the Casio G-Shock 3255. At first try, it is very nicely put together. With one exception, the watchband is a bit small for me so I will be purchasing a larger (longer) band. Other than that, it works well. It did take some time for me to learn the functions, but soon I had them down.

I will keep you posted.
