I couldn't agree more. Any new Casio watch - and I mean ANY - with more than just the basic stuff (timer, stopwatch, alarms) is a freaking joke and a very poor attempt to make something, that Casio obviously don't have a clue about. But even the "basics" seem to be an enormous challenge for them. A few days ago I returned a Casio WV-59 because it had a freaking 60min stopwatch and a freaking 60min timer - what am I supposed to do with that? Not to mention the freaking orange LED backlight instead of the wonderful even blue EL they once used. In my opinion Casio has lost its way and is making 90% crap these days. I wonder if they ever can retrieve their fame and glory from the good old days and - more important - their quality......
