Casio Men's Multilingual Databank Watch #DB36-1AV


I've purchased this watch 3 times. It is such a good watch that when the previous 2 broke over the years, I bought replacement. The first one's band broke as others have stated...this "resin" band doesn't like to bend repeatedly. About 3 years of daily wear snapped the band. My second unit accidentally served as a teething ring for my 10-month old and I think he jammed/cracked one of the face buttons. I took the watch apart to try and fix and ended up tossing it. This is not a G-shock Casio but for $17 it really does it all. I have a small collection of watches ranging from an expensive Japanese domestic market Seiko Chronograph to a colorful G-Shock Casio but I wear this lightweight, simple watch 99% of the time. Why 4 stars? Casio needs to make a more durable band. It's obviously part of their planned-obsolesence marketing strategy. Buy Casio Men's Multilingual Databank Watch #DB36-1AV!

Casio Men's Databank Digital Watch #DBC310-1


I got this watch to replace another style Databank watch that had issues.
I like the features and ease of use. Although the display is slightly smaller than my last watch, for all your basic needs, it performs well.

Anyway, for the price and the features included, it is a great value.Buy Casio Men's Databank Digital Watch #DBC310-1!

Casio Men's G-Shock Classic Digital Sports Watch #G7301B-3V


Bought this for my son, for two features: solar power and yacht racing timer. Casio watches offer a good value, and each model offers a slightly different combination of features aimed at specific uses. The controls are intuitive for such a full-featured watch.

It was purchased when previous Casio Pathfinder waterproofing failed after an $[...] battery replacement by Casio, but it was beyond Casio warranty, so replacement with this watch was cheaper than repair of the old Pathfinder. Hopefully this watch will last longer, since it is solar powered and should not have to be serviced for a long time. My family is "hard on watches". We have owned several Casio watches and they perform well, and are as durable as any other watches in their price range. Buy Casio Men's G-Shock Classic Digital Sports Watch #G7301B-3V!

Casio Men's Multifunction Sport Watch #W94HF-8AV


Perfect regatta watch. I have used this watch for many years and currently own two of them. The best feature is the repeating countdown timer with audible alert every minute, 30s, 20s, 10s, 5,4,3,2,1 ... (this is not a common feature in other Casio watches - unfortunately) You can hear it in heavy air on the starting line, which can't be said about many other, much more expensive, watches. Over the years, I have gone through half a dozen or more of those, primarily because they got pulled off by a line or ripped off from my hand in some other fashion. Never gave it a second thought because it is so cheap, always carry a backup in my bag to a regatta. You can hand one to your crew or a friend and if it does not come back - oh well... The band is solid. The only disadvantage is that it is hard to keep it completely clean if you live an active life and spend some time in the water. Not quite good enough to wear as a dress watch unless it is new (although I have been doing just that for a while). Never had to replace the battery. You will get some scratches, but to my knowledge, this is essentially unbreakable watch. Also, no gimmick features like moon-phase...
- dual time is good if you travel across timezones occasionally
- alarm is loud
- stopwatch with the usual features
- countdown - the best
- back-light is bright enough
reliable, practical, durable, light, inexpensive and OK looking
good luck

Casio Men's Databank Watch #DB37HD-7AV


I have to buy another casio because this one's case isn't metal and finally the pin holding the strap broke through the plastic pin-holder (probably my fault). i won't buy another DB-37h mainly because i sometimes inadvertently press and hold the 12/24H button (for example, while sleeping), which causes the watch to change to DST (which is indicated by a small DST sign) and the time increases by 1 hour. so, occasionally, one goes to events 1 hour early (I guess it's better than getting there one hour late). What idiot thought of this - it totally ruins the watch - all you need for this to happen once.Buy Casio Men's Databank Watch #DB37HD-7AV!

Casio Men's Pathfinder Multi-Band Solar Atomic Black Watch #PAW1300-1V


Had the watch for 5 months, here's what I think
Pros: It does all what it says!! Slim design, light weight, large display easy to read at a glance, Solar charging is ok so far, I don't really charge it that much but the indicator is at High.
Timer, stopwatch and alarms all working good, digital compass is accurate, Atomic time keeping is really great.
Cons:
- Rubber band sucks!
- Altimeter always off, not accurate at all, tried to adjust it several times then gave up on it!! I'm not talking about moving to different places, I measure the altitude at home and at work, it gives me different reading every time.
- Barometer is a little bit off but close enough.
-The Auto backlight keeps accidently turning on and it consumes a lot of battery power so I had to turn it off.
-Always have to keep the User's Manual handy; I have to check it every time I want to change display settings, measuring units... etc.
- I left the thermometer to the end because it's the worst!!!!!!
It reads my body temp or around it, to accurately measure the temp you have to take the watch off your wrist and WAIT AT LEAST 30 MIN!!!!!!!! What's the point of having a thermometer in my watch that I have to wait ages, the response is so slow, I understand that it should pick the body heat but I was expecting it to adjust faster when you take it off. No matter where you were, at home, work or in your vehicle, if you want to know the temp at that moment... you can't SO I THINK THE THERMOMETER IS POINTLESS.

Casio Women's Black Casual Classic Analog Watch #LQ139A-1B3


This is a great watch light weight and comfortable. I love the fact that it is simple yet classy enough for me to were to work or out for the evening. It is especially great that it is water-resistance. As a mother on the go I am always running from here to there and putting my hands in dish water, washing machine, even bathing the cat etc. and the fact that I dont have to stop to take off the watch and put it in a safe place away form water is the best of all.Buy Casio Women's Black Casual Classic Analog Watch #LQ139A-1B3!

Casio Men's G-Shock Ana-Digi Chronograph Shock Resistant Sport Watch #AW591-2A


I bought this watch but never really got to wear it very much. It just sits on my bedside table and I use it at nighttime to look at the time and for alarm. Otherwise I don't recommend for casual wear, except if you're a policeman or are in construction or that type or work.

Casio Men's G-Shock Solar Atomic Watch #GW700A-9V


I have had this watch for about a month and it is great!! Everything you would expect from a G-Shock. Even for its big size it fits comfortably on my wrist, I weigh a 150 Lbs so my wrists are quite small and since it is so comfortable I usually don't even know I'm wearing it. The EL Display works great and the auto backlight is a great feature. It syncs with the atomic clock in Denver every evening and I have checked the time with the atomic clock on the internet and it is within spec (+/- 0.05 seconds) when I check it :-). Great looking watch that will last you a long time and the display has excellent protection from scratches, you would really have to go out of your way to do some damage to it. The charge indicator has always been HIGH since I have recieved it, granted I live in Phoenix Az where it's sunny almost every day, and it even goes to sleep with you at night (Display shuts off to save battery life). Great watch, great price and looks and feels awesome - I don't believe you will be disappointed in the purchase of this watch.Buy Casio Men's G-Shock Solar Atomic Watch #GW700A-9V!

Casio Men's Waveceptor Atomic Dual-Time Watch #WVQ400J-1


I bought this watch to replace my Citizen Skyhawk which I thought was a little too heavy for me. I love the fact that it is solar powered, just as the Skyhawk. However the Atomic has a backlight and syncs with Fort Collins for always updated time. This works very well (I live in the Midwest). It is waterproof and I wear it swimming frequently. Nice size and weight for the watch. Buy Casio Men's Waveceptor Atomic Dual-Time Watch #WVQ400J-1!

Casio Women's Baby-G G-MS Pink Watch #MSG160D-4V


Such a cute watch. Looks tough, but the pink face adds just enough "girliness" to this watch. I would have given it the full five stars, but, would love it even more if the designers had done away with the kinda silly second ticking away dots on the left to make the time and date bigger. It is very comfortable to wear, I'm very glad I purchased it.Buy Casio Women's Baby-G G-MS Pink Watch #MSG160D-4V!

Casio Men's Databank Digital Watch #DBC62-1


This new watch is a replacement for the same type of watch that I own. Casio no longer makes or sells this watch. I had lost all hope for this replacement which is basically simular to a watch I owned for the last 20 years. The new models are a sorry design by Casio and is not acceptable for sale to the public. Thank goodness Amazon is around to maintain a stock of old watches for sale. The unit arrived quickly in new condition, and has been in perfect working order since I received it a month ago.

Casio Men's Waveceptor Solar Atomic Ana-Digi Sport Watch #WV430DJ-1


Depending on how your Waveceptor is put together will determine if your watch is water resistant; My Waveceptor is not!!!

On the outside this watch is all metal, but that is where it ends. The four screws holding the stainless back on are anchored into a plastic casing on inside the watch. When my watch was made one of the screws must have been stripped allowing the back to let in moisture. I didn't send the watch in to get "fixed" and decided to dry the watch out myself. (Note: Had I sent the watch in for repair this may have been a three star review.) Well I've had to dry my watch out three times and can not wear it hiking as the sweat from my body will fog up the watch crystal.

Speaking of the crystal. I can understand why it is not made out of glass as it has to let through as much light as possible to charge the battery.

All in all this is a great timepiece. I just would not recommend you wear it near water or during any sports activities.

Casio Men's Digital Sport Watch #W756D-7AV


If you are looking for a cheap watch that looks decent, seems fairly durable and has some basic features then this is a decent watch. Here's a couple initial annoyances I noticed though: the stopwatch will only measure in minutes and seconds (no tenths or hundreds of a second) and inexplicably keeps a running time from when you start the stopwatch that in fact has 100s of a second. You just can't stop the running time only reset it back to 0. There is no lap feature either. Also the various buttons on the watch turn on/off features when you are just in view mode, so it seems like you could easily turn something off or on. All in all, for $25 what can you expect, but the lack of a true stopwatch could be a deal breaker for somebody out there.Buy Casio Men's Digital Sport Watch #W756D-7AV!
