I received it two days ago. My first impressions are very good. I don't know about durability yet, but it seems durable and sturdy. The clarity is slightly reduced due to the black plate (inverse brightness). If someone wants it to look better, it would be better to choose the white plate, if they like it. The light for the night is sufficient, not perfect, but it does its job well. The sound of the alarm and the alarm clock is classic Casio. It seems fine to me. Of course, especially for the alarm clock, we cannot expect it to wake up the neighborhood! That is not its purpose. The only thing I would like is for it (applies to all Casio watches) to not stop if we don't press a button (it stops after 20 seconds). So, I can only accept it as an alarm notification. The rubber strap is of very good quality. Made in Thailand. Previously, I had another Casio from the same country and it broke. Overall, from the first impressions, I am very satisfied with the purchase of this model (I was also lucky to order it from a store that respects its customers...)
