Casio Women's Baby-G Sweet Poison Shock Resistant Watch #BG2000-1


I am nurse looking for a simple watch with a second hand and this watch is perfect. It looks bulky in the picture but really isn't. It very classic and simple looking and even has 5 alarms and alarms hourly. I absolutely love the watch.Buy Casio Women's Baby-G Sweet Poison Shock Resistant Watch #BG2000-1!

Casio Men's Illuminator Sport Watch #W727H-1V


Have had good luck with all 3 Casio watches I own; they last a long time and work well. My only gripe with this watch is that when using the time display, the day and date display at the top of the window is kinda small and difficult to read. Buy Casio Men's Illuminator Sport Watch #W727H-1V!

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 Classic Black Digital Resin Strap Watch #F91W-1


I ordered this item because I wanted a thin, inexpensive digital wristwatch that I could use when gardening, doing construction projects, or cleaning my garage. This way I won't mind it getting scratched (who will notice?) or dirty (just rinse it off!). I received mine in the mail this afternoon and it appears to be a perfect choice. The case is so slim that it should fit comfortably beneath the tightest shirt cuff worn on a cold winter day when pruning fruit trees in the orchard. With only a calendar, stopwatch, and alarm, it has three large, simple buttons that make for easy setting. Aesthetically, I like its clean look because it reminds me of the first digit watch I owned in the early 1980s, before the ugly Sport and G-Shock styles became the rage. Looking at it now, I wonder if I actually used to own this model back in the day. Buy Casio Men's Classic Black Digital Resin Strap Watch #F91W-1!

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!
