I ordered this watch, with somewhat strange results. Two envelopes arrived, each with one watch in it. Neither was in a box or accompanied by a manual, just slipped in a plastic bag and put in a bubble mailer. One was clearly not new, lacking the plastic cover over the bezel and the back. It turned out it also did not function. The other seems to be functioning and I downloaded instructions about how to set it. I notified Pennywise that they sent one too many watches but they have not acknowledged my email. I won't pursue it since only one works. I would not do business with this site again.

Here is a link to a great deal on a Casio divers watch (AMW320D-9EV)

Thanks for the tip. I did order one as my sailing and daily Casio beater are long in the tooth. If it keeps time as well as my old Casios (withing 1.5 s for the beater and 3 s for the racing/cruising watch per month) it is money well spent.
I'll report back once I receive and test it.
Ironically, my Seiko is a dress watch!
