Does it set itself automatically?

Yes. It receives radio time signals in Japan, North America, the UK and Germany and corrects the time on its own. Reception can vary by location and indoors.

No. It runs on a battery that needs replacing periodically, unlike Casio's Tough Solar models.

It is water-resistant to 50 m (5 bar), which covers splashes and swimming but not diving.

What functions does it have?

World time across 29 time zones, a 1/100th-second stopwatch, a 60-minute timer, a daily alarm, an automatic calendar and an orange LED light with afterglow.

How big is it on the wrist?

The case measures 53.4 × 43.7 mm and is 12.0 mm thick, so it wears large. It suits medium to larger wrists best.
