Casio Men's Ana-Digi Electro-Luminescent Sport Watch #AQ160W-1BV


I wear a Suunto Vector as my daily watch for work, but I wanted something lighter and cheaper that won't cost me $250 to replace. This watch has a analog display over a digital display that can be set to different timezones, stopwatch, etc. Along with automatic EL backlighting and glowing hand markers it makes a great watch for the price.Buy Casio Men's Ana-Digi Electro-Luminescent Sport Watch #AQ160W-1BV!

Casio Men's Ana-Digi 10-Year Battery Bracelet Watch #AW80D-1AV


I bought this watch over half year ago. Now I am replacing the watch with a timex.

Well, First off, I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I personally think this watch looks good. Yes, it is not well balanced overall, but for $20? come on, looks great at that price.

I think the watch had the potential to be great, but it missed a couple of important things.

Durability: The face scratches easy. so be careful. The buttons, well, after this half year I owned it, the buttons started to stick. Now, once in a while the button stays pressed and beeps itself to death. Granted I have taken the watch ocean swimming and exercising. On hindsight, maybe that was not a good idea. But they shouldn't say it is a 50M waterproof watch.

Design: The strap is not very flexible, I have small wrists and they can't quite wrap around my wrist. It works, but not very comfortable.

Utility: Well, I like that it has both analog and digital, the reason why I bought it. But the Interface to change the analog and the usage of the digital part is poorly designed. It is confusing and not very intuitive. I owned a similar timex and I've never had to read the manual. On DST date I always have to search for the manual on this one. That may be my fault for not getting it, but found it counter-intuitive for me. Someone mentioned about the light being useless, well it's kinda true. It is a cheap looking light that is very limited.

Overall, I think that the watch was a ok buy for a cheap watch. I have to say that I expected more from Casio. Considering how long it lasted, it is on the expensive side. But from the looks and features, it seemed cheap at first. I am giving it 3 starts because it may have been my fault. I wouldn't recommend it unless they really liked the design and can't afford something better.Buy Casio Men's Ana-Digi 10-Year Battery Bracelet Watch #AW80D-1AV!

Casio Men's Illuminator Digital Watch #F105W-1A


I decided a few months ago that I needed an another wrist watch in addition to my Seiko. I didn't really want to spend much, I just needed something that was going to be simple, easy to read, included a few basic functions (stopwatch, alarm, light, 24hr time etc.), but most of all was CLASSIC!

Of course, I looked no further than an original design by Casio, and the F105W was watch to watch. A good sturdy design, made well from excellent materials, well sized, and is actually quite comfortable to wear. Basic and conservative design is accompanied by user-friendly functions. The beep on the watch is very audible and distinct, but still discreet enough to not stand out too much. The manual was also well written and took about 5 seconds to get all the info from it.

Being a fan of all things 80s, I had to get it, and the fact that it was so cheap made it a 100% sale. The light is the perfect colour for darkness, and provides total clarity when viewing under illumination. Also the interface is set out well, and all functions and displays are all in logical positions. A total hit with all my friends, and would suit any arm on any person.

In conclusion, I couldn't be happier. If you're looking for a simple yet classic watch, this is the one to use. You can check out other models higher up in the Casio range that have higher levels of water resistance and even stainless-steel construction, but if you just want a black digital wrist watch with no strings attached, grab an F105W Illuminator, and you'll be set!Buy Casio Men's Illuminator Digital Watch #F105W-1A!

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!

Casio Men's Ana-Digi Edifice Thermometer Bracelet Watch #EFA119BK-1AV


Thermometer doesn't work on your wrist. It must be off your wrist for 20-30 minutes to get a good reading. You can't see the reading if it's about 9 o'clock or any hour:45.

Other digits are easily obscured by the hands.

THE BAND IS A NON-STANDARD TYPE (NO PINS) SO NOT EASY TO ADJUST. THE LINKS ARE TOO BIG AND PINCH HAIR. FINE LENGTH ADJUSTMENT IS LIMITED TO TWO HOLES ON THE CLASP, which doesn't cover the range of lengths you might want.

Several design elements are totally frivolous. One has LCDs marking the seconds around the perimeter (good idea!) for the last 30 seconds of each minute, but not the first 30 secs (stoopid). Another shows how far along you are in the current 10 minute slice. As if.

Like with pretty much all watches these days, you can't count on the alarm to wake you up.

Gets maybe an extra star for being good looking.

Casio Women's Daily Alarm Digital Watch #LA11WB-1


I've been buying this watch over and over for as least 20 some years!! The simple features are the best!! I love the 1,3,5....30 minute timers!! I think that is the best feature! I also like the fact that this watch can jump in the shower or pool by accident and live through it with no problem for years. It is small, not a huge chunk of plastic on my small wrist!! If you are a down to earth, simple, active person this is the watch for you, not for the run-way models! I'm here to buy my 4th one...that tells you how long they last!! I think I will buy 2 this time just in case they stop making them....it's getting harder to find them!!Buy Casio Women's Daily Alarm Digital Watch #LA11WB-1!

Casio Men's Sea Analog Illuminator Dual LED Dive Watch #MDV102-1AV


From the product reviews and pictures, I knew I was going to get a quality watch. But what I didn't realize was when I actually received the watch, it was better than I thought. The illuminator light lights up the whole watch face, the best I have ever seen. It is stylish, and best of all water resistant up to 200 metres. Quality expected, quality delivered. Thanks, Amazon.com.Buy Casio Men's Sea Analog Illuminator Dual LED Dive Watch #MDV102-1AV!

Casio Men's Sport Watch #W753-3AV


Although the intended purpose is mostly for a surfer, my husband LOVES his watch for the use of being informed about the tides in our area for fishing. The instructions for setting up the watch were a bit confusing at first, but with a little attention it is a hurdle well worth overcoming for the payoff of the local information.Buy Casio Men's Sport Watch #W753-3AV!

Casio Men's Waveceptor Atomic Watch #WVA109HDA-2BV


Unquestionably the most capable watch for its price (and much higher). Has just about every feature worth having, and in an attractive package, to boot.

The manual is indeed confusing, but don't despair. Go to Casio.com, Support, Manuals, Manual Archive, enter Module No. 4772. This simple instruction set will make it easy.

BTW, my 4-year old of this model is still going on its original battery.

Another BTW: Casio WVA 109HDA-7AV is the identical module, slightly different dial design, black, same Amazon price.

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!
