The canvas jobbie, while a very nice strap indeed, is too short for me ankle-sized wrist. Oops! My mistake!

But the brown NATO is A-OK, and will certainly see some action.

The watch arrived with a flat cell, so I got to check out the movement right away:

Flat SS caseback secured with 4 screws, what I've come to think of as "a Casio pattern".

Once inside..

The movement is revealed to be a

caliber 6P25. Mind you that came as no surprise, as it's stamped right on the caseback. winking smiley

One fresh

#364 later, and she was ticking merrily away. thumbs up

Plastic resin case and bracelet (though with a significant amount of metal trim) measuring 43mm x 50mm x 13mm thick, with a 22mm integrated bracelet. So it's quite light, too. Very light for a watch of it's size, at 78.5 grams.

Pretty decent lume! Pops well out of the gate, but doesn't quite have all-night staying power. Still, good on

for makin' a stab at livin' up to the name! Rollin' on the floor laughin' me ass off!

Looking good Ricky, neat review You'll really appreciate how light it wears in hot weather - enjoy!	JY	30	February 19, 2013 06:36AM
Re: You'll really appreciate how light it wears in hot weather.. I'm sure I will! For, of course, we're no stranger to heat in Mississippi.. Not Australia-class heat, mind, but then ours is generally combined with off-the-scale humidity. Note that I went back and edited in the actual measured stats. My 75 gram guess was pretty close!
