I use this watch instead of an electronic calculator for many of my daily computing needs, and I find the stopwatch handy, as well. I don't use the "dual time" feature very often, but I use the alarm function several times a day. I wish the watch had a built-in light, like some of the higher priced watches in this line, so I could use it in the dark. The only problem I have found with all the Casio watches having a plastic wrist band is that sooner or later, one of the two bands breaks. Thus, when I travel, I'm always in the lookout for places that sell spare Casio watch bands!
