I love this watch. The look is very classy and understated. Black goes with anything, and the watch isn't trying to call attention to itself. The markings are clear and easy to read. The leather strap is soft and has a nice texture to it that holds up after repeated wearings. Best of all, this watch tells you what day it is in a clear, elegant, full-word arc on the top. This feature alone puts this watch above 90% of the watches out there. It isn't "SUN" or "fRi" or "THR." It is "Sunday" or "Monday." I also like how both the day and the date manage to be on the watch face without bumping into any of the hour markings. A lot of times you'll see the 3 o clock marking used for the date, leading to bizzare moments where it seems to be 13 o clock or even 29 o clock.
It is easy as pie to set the day, date, and time on this watch. The battery has lasted me for over a year since purchase. It doesn't have a light, but the hands do glow in the dark, and the high contrast of the back face and silver markings makes for easy reading in low light. The watch has a very soft "tick" that you won't hear unless you hold the watch very close to your ear; it is not the sort of watch to keep you awake at night or distract you while you are sitting quietly.
The watch is rated as water resistant, but as it has a leather strap, I have not tested this out myself.
This watch looks, feels, and performs like a watch that cost way, way more. Highly recommended.

Best looking day-date budget Casio
If you like the Hamilton King Khaki look, this is a must buy. I put mine on a NATO strap (20mm lug width btw), mostly to keep the stock leather strap it came with pristine for formal use.Works as an everyday or dress watch. If it had 100m of water resistance and a sapphire crystal, I wouldn't need another watch as long as I live. I might still WANT others, but I certainly wouldn't need them because this would last forever.As it stands, I'll likely replace this in a decade or so (if all goes well), hopefully with something similar.

Very good looking watch. I got it for the day display and am very happy with it.
Some things worth considering (not really cons at this price):
The watch is on the smaller side, case diameter is about 38mm.
Case and bezel are not stainless steel, they have some kind of ion plating and are super shiny.
Dial markers are not lumed.
