I have watched the feeding frenzy on these for the last week and tempted as I was to grab a Casio Royale I really cant think of a time when I would wear it in place of something else in my collection, that being said, Never Say Never (Again)

Got the time and my 'world time' set last night. Just need to set the four scrollable World Times.

I'd wondered at the time I bought it, what the 'dial' top left showed. Now seen that it is a three-hand dial, synchronised to the digital time. Neat. :thumbup:

It feels really comfortable on the wrist, understandably so as it is so light, with the Rattleanium bracelet not being the wrist hair trimmer that others have experienced.

Finally, with it being 39mm square, on the wrist, I feel it wears like a normal 42mm/43mm.

Can it be set to show a different time?

Glad your wrist hair is intact Guy - it bothered me so the bracelet had to go.

One thing about these - when you add one to your collection you don't have to flip another watch to make way financially. It's the cost of three pints of Peroni. :lol:

Yes, in a way.

The three-hand dial shows the local time, which remains when you switch to World Time.

You then still have four (or is it three) scrollable World Time options.

I'm really enjoying it on the black leather 22mm strap, wearing it at the moment. I think this will stay on for now.

I have no idea how to set the world times or alarms yet. Going to have to RTFM. As long as I have the time, date and stopwatch I'm happy for now.

The three-hand dial also continues to show the local time (14:30 hrs 23 sec) when the stopwatch is in use.

Collecting one of the World Time Squares for my work mate before work Tuesday afternoon.
He couldn't get over the value in them and it will be a handy way for me to see one first hand too.

These Casios do nothing for me, I just can’t see the attraction. Confirms why I must be an oddball. :shock:
