Casio Men's Databank Digital Watch #EDB610-1


I have one of these right now and am looking to replace it. The watch band has cracked many times in the year since I bought it, and after numerous super-gluings, I am not even going to bother replacing the band. Why?

You can't use this watch. It has a calculator with no memory function, multi-timezone function that is nearly impossible to understand how to use, a scheduler that is also next to impossible to understand how to use (and looks like you can't remove an existing schedule!?), and supposedly can hold phone numbers and e-mail addresses, but I also cannot figure it out. This calculator watch has a user's manual that is disturbingly thick, and I still can't understand some of it. I gave up trying.

As for the basic calculator functions: To save space they took a row of buttons off from the usual DataBanks. The result is that for something as simple as performing calculations, you have to go through numerous counter-intuitive button presses in order to select the operator you want (pressing a side button once= "+," twice= "-," thrice= "x," and four times= "÷". And no memory function!? Does that make sense?

The alarm function is actually the scheduler, and it is strangely complicated to enter a simple alarm, and you can't delete it after it's been used. Or at least, if it is, it's buried somewhere in the user's manual which I gave up reading.

Save your money and your sanity and get a cheaper, classic DataBank.

Oh, and one last irritant:
If the body of the watch torques in some particular way, it will think that it is low on battery power, and so the timer/alarm will never sound (for saving battery life). I came to learn not to rely on using the timer function on this, because sometimes it wouldn't chime because of this problem, and I still haven't learned how to twist the body to get it to register normally again. This started shortly after I bought the thing, yet all this time later the battery still has plenty of juice, so it's just a design defect.Buy Casio Men's Databank Digital Watch #EDB610-1!

Casio G-Shock Ana-Digi Watch


I have had such poor customer service from Casio after paying to have my G Shock repaired that it is now my mission to poorly rate EVERY G Shock until I get a response that ISN'T computer generated. LISTENING CASIO? I refuse to pay another $45 less than 1 month after paying you $45 to repair my watch.Buy Casio G-Shock Ana-Digi Watch!

Casio Men's Silver-Tone Analog Bracelet Watch #MTP1165A-1C


This watch is extremely well put together and very well priced. Some people put a great deal of time, money, and energy into looking for nice dress watches, but for everyone else there's this Casio. Some other reviewers have mentioned that the watch is one tone, not brushed steel but mine is, in fact, two tone metal. The outer links are a very bright, reflective steel while the inner portion of each link has a soft brushed pattern, making it less reflective but equally bright.

The important components for those looking for a dress watch are the build quality, looks, and ability to keep the time. This watch does all three - I've had no problems whatsoever with the build (the band scratches slightly over time but the watch face shows no signs of wear), the watch looks rather stunning (the four time markers on the watch make it look far more stylish and pricy than it is), and it has no trouble keeping perfect time, though only 4 time markers does make it difficult to read the precise time.

For anyone looking for a great watch - casual or business style - for themselves or as a gift, I highly recommend this one. It offers the style of a higher end dress-watch with one tenth of the price.Buy Casio Men's Silver-Tone Analog Bracelet Watch #MTP1165A-1C!

Casio Men's Casual Sport Watch (W753-1AV)


For the money, can't beat the price and quality. Date is hard to read an certain angles.
Two things I would change. One, buttons protrude a bit to the point that when you bend your wrist the mode changes. Two, the light is a regular led. Seems a bit chinsy......but for $20.....it's still an excellent buy.Buy Casio Men's Casual Sport Watch (W753-1AV)!

Casio Men's Pathfinder Triple Sensor Altimeter/Barometer/ Digital Compass Green Watch #PAG40-3V


Casio Men's Pathfinder Triple Sensor Altimeter/Barometer/ Digital Compass Green Watch #PAG40-3V is a great instrument to have if you are a seasoned camper like me. I am a trekking enthusiast and like most trekkers know how to use instruments to my advantage and find my way to the destination...To this, I must admit, I was fairly surprised by the accuracy that PAG40-3V brings to the table. This watch gives fairly accurate readings for altitude, temperature, direction, atmospheric pressure etc. I read some negative reviews about people not being able to get accurate readings...I respectfully disagree. I have tested altimeter, barometer, thermometer and compass (which, I believe, are the four chief selling points of the watch) and, as I already said, the readings showed tolerably least or most of the times no deviation from actuals. All in all, a great piece.

One more thing. I tried Suunto (almost settled for X-Lander) and Timex offering similar features before I bought this. I was surprised to see that compared to Suunto (which is relatively expensive) this watch offered same performance in lesser price. I will miss "Tough Solar", but it doesn't hold me back from declaring pride in my new possession.

I plan to use this watch for Trekking in Laddakh towards the end of this year. This will be the litmus test and I am fairly confident (on the basis of extensive lab testing I already performed to see how good this piece of work will hold when I am out there) it'll rise to meet my expectations with flying colors.Buy Casio Men's Pathfinder Triple Sensor Altimeter/Barometer/ Digital Compass Green Watch #PAG40-3V!

Casio Men's G-Shock Classic Digital Watch #DW9052-1V


This is a very functional "work" watch for me. It is durable, and has plastic/rubber casing, so I don't have to worry about electric shock (I'm an engineer). I've had it on since I got it about a month ago, with zero problems. Definately recommend.Buy Casio Men's G-Shock Classic Digital Watch #DW9052-1V!

Casio Women's Classic Analog Watch #MQ24-7B3


very inexpensive, great watch for everday. Keeps good time, easy to read, nice large face. I bought 2 Casios ( 1 white, 1 black) since the price was so good. No bling but perfect for daily wear. Recommended.Buy Casio Women's Classic Analog Watch #MQ24-7B3!

Casio Men's Classic Digital Bracelet Watch #A158W-1


This is a great, nicely designed watch. It's got a metal band and it's pretty comfortable to wear once you get it fitted to your wrist right and you are used to the fold over clasp.

It definitely tells time and it does it's job well. If you're looking for a simple elegant watch, this is for you. Sure it's not packing in a lot of features like atomic synchronization or solar battery powered, but for about $15-$20, you really can't go wrong with this watch.

PRO:
7 year battery life
nice design with the metal band

Only thing wrong I could see is wish there was a count down timer and perhaps make the watch water resistant to a deeper level than it already is.Buy Casio Men's Classic Digital Bracelet Watch #A158W-1!

Casio Men's G-Shock Classic Ana-Digi Watch #G100-1BV


I was looking for a watch to wear casually on the weekends ... this fit the bill. Looks great, is super light and seems to be made of a solid quality. Only thing that was a little bit annoying was setting the time and date, a little annoying, and means you have to keep the little book in a safe place if you plan on changing it while travelling / day light savings etc ... Also, I searched other websites and noticed this watch was being sold at a much higher price on most other sites, a no brainer with Amazon's free shipping and customer service !Buy Casio Men's G-Shock Classic Ana-Digi Watch #G100-1BV!

Casio Women's Baby-G Atomic Timekeeping Watch #BG1500A-1BV


As a member of a trauma and code blue team, I find that the timekeeping abilities of this watch are priceless. Not only does it keep perfect time, but the readouts are extremely easy and convenient to read. It's a fairly big watch on my small arm, but that doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I get so many compliments on it everywhere I go, and several people I know have said they're going to get one, too. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that there is a bit of steel on the back of it that digs into my skin, and I generally have a big red divet on my arm after wearing it for a 12-hour shift. Maybe I can find some felt or something to cover it with. At any rate, it's still a very cool watch, and I'm really glad to own it.Buy Casio Women's Baby-G Atomic Timekeeping Watch #BG1500A-1BV!

Casio Women's Baby-G Atomic Timekeeping Watch #BG1500A-7B


I thought I was getting a smaller g shock watch for my wife. The picture did not convey (at least to me) just how white the watch is. I was also disappointed that it didn't automatically adjust for DST when the time changed. My G-shock did and it is an older watch. Other than that, it is a good watch.Buy Casio Women's Baby-G Atomic Timekeeping Watch #BG1500A-7B!
