i kinda agree, however... i had one, worked beautifully, but the strap broke and the replacement costed more than the watch.
i opted for another watch, still from casio (W-735H-1AVDF, 20€ from amazon) and while this is again a great value... the strap broke again. on this last one i got an unofficial strap that's working okay, but i don't know for how long.
