Casio Men's Ana-Digi Alarm Chronograph Dive Watch #AMW320D-9EV


After 10 years of really rough activity including surviving a falling tree incident (don't ask)and salt water contact (I live on Cape Cod)I can say unequivocally that this is one tough mother. What's not to like? Looks cool (if you like big and macho), super accurate, good features and of course, cheap. Nothing is perfect, naturally, nor is this watch: (1) plastic wrist band is utterly disposable--but cheap to replace; (2) luminosity quickly fades. After about six months I could expect about 30 minutes of nighttime readability. Some reviews praise this feature so perhaps new editions have better glow stuff; (3) one or both buttons will eventually stick from sweat and general grunge. Fix? Small amount of silicone lube, then work the button for a while. Hopefully the lube will not attack the button seals; (4)alarm not loud enough to wake me and I'm a light sleeper.Buy Casio Men's Ana-Digi Alarm Chronograph Dive Watch #AMW320D-9EV!
