Casio Men's Sports Chronograph Alarm 10-Year Battery Databank Watch #AW80D-7AV


this is a great watch. it's nothing like the one i see at walmart on the stand that has 10 dollar watches... oh wait the prices rose =/

when i bought this watch the arm band was too big for me. i then emailed casio and they gave me a downloadable file that showed me how to get the size reduced.

Basically if you look under the armband, you will see arrows pointing outward, this means that you need to push the pin in the hole down and out in the direction of the arrow. I managed to push each of the pins out and it came out like 1 or 2 mm. then i used a nailclipper to pull it out and voila my watch is shortened. oh yeah don't forget the step about putting the metal piece back in so it holds it in place. since i didn't have any hard item to push it back in, i pounded the metal against my desk. for those who wanna be more gentle and are not economically restrained, you can use proper pliers and a jeweler's screwdriver for this (i used a psp screwdriver). that's how you can change the size of the armband. hope this helps. and this is a great watch i love the fact it's both analog and digital.

one thing though the light isn't very bright to make let you see the time its a orange yellow low light but the hands on the clock have glow in the dark thingys. overall not bad. i don't care about the low light button since i have a solar panel keychain flashlight that is ever so bright (deal extreme dot co m). hope this helps and i recommend this watch unless you are rich and you can get better but it's fine for me!Buy Casio Men's Sports Chronograph Alarm 10-Year Battery Databank Watch #AW80D-7AV!
