Casio Men's G-Shock Multi-Band Solar Atomic Analog Watch #AWG101-1A

I wanted a very accurate watch compared to my Omega & Tag Heuer (both automatics). While these watches may have the panache/legacy, this Casio beats them both in accuracy, and is available at a fraction of the cost. Infact, I used this watch to set my others.

This watch performs exceptionally well, and you'll be hard pressed to find a watch with this amount of technical innovation. Even the other models in the Casio line up, this offers one of most comprehensive sets of features for the price. It also is one of the few G-shocks/wave-ceptor models that offers 5-band world frequency reception. This is a big plus if you find yourself in the middle or southern part of Europe and would like to sync to an atomic clock in that area.

Some things to note: In order for the manual-receive function to successfully work the first time, it would help if you placed the watch under a lamp for the first 30min to 1 hr of its life out of the box. This will give a chance for the solar cells to charge the back up battery, and be able to sustain adequate reception. Secondly, reception is greatly improved at night as pointed out in the instruction manual. I often find that it's harder to get a sync manually during the day (even in an relatively open area), but at night between the hours of 12am to 6am, this watch will likely sync without issue. This watch displays the actual time/date that the last successful sync was performed.

If I could write to the designers of this watch and could add/change some items about it (because I'm a sick perfectionist):

I would be great if Casio made this watch in a steel or titanium band, I would pay more just for the better look/durability of metal.

While adequately large, if the face of this watch was even slightly larger, and descriptive words/markings on the dial more spread out (or even some eliminated), this watch might exude the look of a higher quality watch - but thats just my opinion, the watch looks fine the way it is.

A second hand would be also great. Even though the seconds are displayed on the LCD recessed vial.

I wish the round sunken vial info area that displays a toggled view of date/day/time was moved to another location. It is currently at the 9 o'clock position, and is hard to read when the watch hand is in the 9 o'clock. Since most people look at the date at the start of the work day (i.e. 9am) its hard to tell the date until the hour hand moves off that position. The date should ideally be displayed at 3'oclock or 6'o clock position. I speculate that most people world wide would be less concerned about the date, when the time is either 3 or 6 am/pm around the world and the hour hand sits directly over it, as opposed to 9am/pm.

The 6 o'clock position vial does not indicate much info, more info should have been allocated here, and as such the display font through out could have been made larger, and more legible. If there was a way to shift or move the info around to where we would like it displayed, that would be a killer feature.

Overall this is a great watch, don't let anything stop you from getting it - you will be very content.

Casio Women's Casual Sports watch #LA670WGA1

I had been looking for a dressy digital. I wish this watch had a backlight. I'd also like to see the date without pushing a button. But this watch looks nice and functions well. Buy Casio Women's Casual Sports watch #LA670WGA1!

Casio Men's World Time Ana-Digi Data Bank 10-Year-Battery Watch #AW80V-3BV

Accurate. cool looking casual watch. easy to read analog time. month/day/date are digital and perpetual calendar so no need to adjust on short months as with analog watches - huge in my opinion. nylon/velcro strap much preferred to plastic.

resetting the time for d/s/t is quick if you hold down the button rather than clicking it many times

i don't need a lighted dial but if that is important other reviews should be read.

the face/dial is actually a pleasant yellow-biege so i don't know why it's listed as white. the border with the minute dashes is white.

if the battery lasts anywhere near 10 years and the watch continues to function it will be the watch bargain of the century :)

Casio Men's G-Shock Tough Culture Watch #DW6900FS-8

I bought one of these white Casio watches about 3 years ago. It's a great watch and love the atomic feature BUT I wish I had know the white color is just painted on. It rubs off and looks pretty bad when it does. If I had it to do over again I wouldn't have worn it as a everyday watch and maybe it would have stayed looking nice longer. I called Casio customer service to ask them if all of their colored or white watches were just painted on finishes and yep, they are. Maybe someday they will make the housing and bands with color all the way through, just not there yet.Buy Casio Men's G-Shock Tough Culture Watch #DW6900FS-8!

Casio Men's G-Shock Gulfman Tide and Moon Watch #G9100-1

PROS:
1) comfortable watch to wear: as other reviewers point out, it feels well balanced despite it's physical size.

2) Fits well, even for smaller wrist sizes: the material, shape of the band and its width all work to make this a comfortable watch.

3) Titanium backing (lightweight and resists corrosion).

4) The tide and moon functions seem to be fairly accurate and are fun/useful to have readily available.

5) Really, it's not that bulky when compared to many other watches. For example it's comparable to a self winding analog watch.

CONS:
1) It's bulk is felt if you wear it with tight fitting sleaves (such as knitted wrists on a jacket).

2) The booklet that comes with it is a little tedius to use (small pages and print), which may be why some people found it difficult to set up. However, you can easily find a .pdf file on the Internet that is full size and easier to read.

In general, the Moon Phase and Tide functions require you to invest a little more time in learning to use the watch - but that ought to be expected. In the end, you may even enjoy learning some of the science behind it.Buy Casio Men's G-Shock Gulfman Tide and Moon Watch #G9100-1!

Casio Men's Electro Luminescence Digital Bracelet Watch #A168W-1

Chinese-made digital Casio, chrome face, mineral crystal, stainless back, stainless adjustable band, day + date (no month), 12hr/24hr, alarm, chrono/split. Really bright blue backlight, ie. "electro luminescence", egaged by pushing the Light button.
You can't compare an $18 watch to your $300 citizen, but I give the watch itself a 5, because I think it's got a cool unique face, and is functional - in a retro, circa 1985 way.
I took off 1 star because of the band, which actually looks nice from the outside - but the underside is a little rough, has unfinished edges, and catches arm hair easily. I used 400 grit sandpaper to smooth the edges, and it's much more comfortable now. They obviously save money by not hand finishing these bands.Buy Casio Men's Electro Luminescence Digital Bracelet Watch #A168W-1!
