I bought this and two other Casios for a friend's birthday. He likes them all very much and is pleased with the styles and variety. I'm happy with the price as well. Great value.

I like this watch. Ever since I started carrying a cellphone, I fell out of the habit of wearing a wristwatch.
Recently, I have had to do a lot of flying and decided that the convenience of instant access to time (especially in-flight) was well worth the purchase price of an inexpensive watch.
I bought the watch at [large electronic retailer named after potato strips cooked in oil], thinking I was getting a different model. When I opened it at home, an unexpected wave of deja-vu hit as this watch is nearly identical to a Casio I wore many years ago, and the watch I got home wasn't on display at all. I didn't bother returning it, since pretty much any watch would suffice.
The band isn't uncomfortable, and it's metal or metal-looking, which means the watch doesn't look too much like something that came free out of a cereal box.
The display is sharp and easy to read in direct sun and under indoor lighting. The blue backlight is excellent and works great even in darkness. It has time, date, day of week, an alarm (which is too soft to wake a mouse, but could be useful as a reminder during the day), and a stopwatch. This is pretty much everything I demand of a wrist-mounted timepiece. As others have noted, one drawback is you cannot easily set the time in the dark, because the backlight function pre-empts the setting feature, so you can't see what you're doing without external light. Annoying, but doubtful it is a problem unless you're into cloak-and-dagger ops where you have to synchronize watches in the dead of night and oddly forgot a flashlight. ;)
The timekeeping on my unit is startlingly accurate.
A week ago, I set it to time dot gov. The watch ever-so-slightly lagged the NIST clock when I set it, and after a week, it still lags by the same ever-so-slight amount (perhaps 0.1 seconds, certainly no more than 1/4 second). After 7 days, I still cannot tell if it is gaining or losing time! This is unusual in my experience; most watches I've owned gained or lost about a half second per day.
No idea if Casio firmware calibrates these watches at manufacture to compensate in for the normal component variations in the crystal oscillator and associated circuitry, or if I just got very lucky and got one that just happens to be spot-on, frequency-wise. At such a low price, I'm thinking maybe it's just luck. So my experience may not reflect the experience of others with accuracy.
The biggest (and basically only) drawback I see is looks. As jewelry or a dress watch, it doesn't work. I think a step up to a Citizen eco-drive or Seiko or Pulsar or Bulova in the $30-$90 range is well worth the money where appearance is a major consideration (and some of these watches are still a good value), but for a practical watch it's an unbeatable buy. Figure the day something breaks a year or two down the road, you can feel smart that you got so much value out of a $15 investment when many people spend more than that on a new band or battery change at the jewelers'.
Happiness is unceremoniously dumping the carcass of your dead watch in the trash and ordering a new one online from Amazon. Beats shedding tears for an expensive watch you've become emotionally attached to, or driving around and then paying for an expensive repair.

Simply the best $15 watch I have ever seen.
This watch is more than double this price in the retail stores.
I had one of these before and paid $40 for it.
Don't buy it, because you don't deserve a deal this good and
Because at this price it's called stealing.

I've used the same model watch for 5 years and was very satisfied with performance and comfort of the band. When it cam time to replace the watch Amazon had the same watch I was pleased with at a great price. Shipping was fast and the watch was well packed.

This watch does all that I need, and is very inexpensive. It's so comfortable I haven't taken it off.
