Could not resist this one at Walmart for $30.

I have the similar AE-1000-1, but this seems to be an update.

Features include:
* 200M Water Resistant
* LED Light with Afterglow (there seems to be one LED in the lower left hand corner -- not *great* illumination as EL or at least two LEDs would be better but it seems sufficient)
* World Time - 31 time zones (48 cities + UTC), daylight saving on/off, home city/world time swapping
* 5 Alarms (one-time alarm or daily alarm)
* Hourly Chime
* 1/100 second stopwatch - Measuring capacity: 23:59'59.99" - Measuring modes: Elapsed time, split time,
1st-2nd place times
* Countdown Timer - Measuring unit: 1/10 second - Input range: 1 second to 24 hours (1-second increments,
1-minute increments and 1-hour increments)
* Auto-calendar (pre-programmed until the year 2099)
* 12/24 Hour Formats
* Button operation tone on/off
* Approx. battery life: 10 years
* Graphic seconds indicator; graphic analog local time indicator (both are too small to really be useful -- at least to my aging eyes)
* Crystal is about 1mm recessed -- presumably to help avoid scratches
* Black resin band

The layout of the watch face seems designed to resemble a fighter aircraft cockpit. One Amazon reviewer noted that "seconds are visually marked by an 'artificial horizon', and the analog indicator looks kinda like a radar screen (having an active imagination helps)". As I noted above, both are small enough to be mostly useless -- at least to middle aged eyes.
It is a nice sized watch -- though not "thick" so there will be no issue fitting under long sleeves. Certainly for G-Shock "regulars" using the watch's features should be no problem. The functions work very much like those on a basic G.

The numerals are nice and crisp and a nice size. And the design is at least a notch or two above the most basic, plastic looking cheapo digital watch. It is really not a bad looking for piece for such an inexpensive watch. All in all, for the basic functions a digital watch performs, this watch provides excellent bang for the buck. As an added bonus, the world time features and a 24 hour STW and CDT make this an excellent watch for traveling.
