That's like manly for monkeys, which is to say, extra ape manly-like.
Too many watches, not enough wrists.

Like the DW-290 (and unlike other watches from the "Casio Collection"-line-up, as they are called in Germany) it has a 200m rating and a mineral crystal. Great design and super legible with the amber display. Only the strap is a bit flimsy but I might exchange it for a velcro from an AW-80.
Yeah the strap is the only thing I don’t like about it. Will be interested to see what it looks like on the Velcro

It will probably take a few days till it gets here. I ordered it from a Bulgarian ebay shop where I've bought one before.

For an old school digital watch nerd like myself, this looks to be a “must have”. Priced here at around US $30.

Oh, I don't know, there are several of us that like them. 42mm is a good size--congrats!

For the price, I think it's a no-brainer. The pictures that Greg and "whatmeworry" posted, pushed me over the edge - I had it on my wish list since it was released. I like the design even more than the original but it lost some of the quirkiness.
Cheers, Sedi

Agreed. The bizarre shape of the original has real charm

There is always a soft spot for Panerai for me. Congrats!

Congrats on the new arrival.
I like them, I have looked at the 38, 40, and 42mm cased references a lot.
