Casio Men's Multilingual Databank Watch #DB36-1AV


I've purchased this watch 3 times. It is such a good watch that when the previous 2 broke over the years, I bought replacement. The first one's band broke as others have stated...this "resin" band doesn't like to bend repeatedly. About 3 years of daily wear snapped the band. My second unit accidentally served as a teething ring for my 10-month old and I think he jammed/cracked one of the face buttons. I took the watch apart to try and fix and ended up tossing it. This is not a G-shock Casio but for $17 it really does it all. I have a small collection of watches ranging from an expensive Japanese domestic market Seiko Chronograph to a colorful G-Shock Casio but I wear this lightweight, simple watch 99% of the time. Why 4 stars? Casio needs to make a more durable band. It's obviously part of their planned-obsolesence marketing strategy. Buy Casio Men's Multilingual Databank Watch #DB36-1AV!

Casio Men's Databank Digital Watch #DBC310-1


I got this watch to replace another style Databank watch that had issues.
I like the features and ease of use. Although the display is slightly smaller than my last watch, for all your basic needs, it performs well.

Anyway, for the price and the features included, it is a great value.Buy Casio Men's Databank Digital Watch #DBC310-1!

Casio Men's G-Shock Classic Digital Sports Watch #G7301B-3V


Bought this for my son, for two features: solar power and yacht racing timer. Casio watches offer a good value, and each model offers a slightly different combination of features aimed at specific uses. The controls are intuitive for such a full-featured watch.

It was purchased when previous Casio Pathfinder waterproofing failed after an $[...] battery replacement by Casio, but it was beyond Casio warranty, so replacement with this watch was cheaper than repair of the old Pathfinder. Hopefully this watch will last longer, since it is solar powered and should not have to be serviced for a long time. My family is "hard on watches". We have owned several Casio watches and they perform well, and are as durable as any other watches in their price range. Buy Casio Men's G-Shock Classic Digital Sports Watch #G7301B-3V!

Casio Men's Multifunction Sport Watch #W94HF-8AV


Perfect regatta watch. I have used this watch for many years and currently own two of them. The best feature is the repeating countdown timer with audible alert every minute, 30s, 20s, 10s, 5,4,3,2,1 ... (this is not a common feature in other Casio watches - unfortunately) You can hear it in heavy air on the starting line, which can't be said about many other, much more expensive, watches. Over the years, I have gone through half a dozen or more of those, primarily because they got pulled off by a line or ripped off from my hand in some other fashion. Never gave it a second thought because it is so cheap, always carry a backup in my bag to a regatta. You can hand one to your crew or a friend and if it does not come back - oh well... The band is solid. The only disadvantage is that it is hard to keep it completely clean if you live an active life and spend some time in the water. Not quite good enough to wear as a dress watch unless it is new (although I have been doing just that for a while). Never had to replace the battery. You will get some scratches, but to my knowledge, this is essentially unbreakable watch. Also, no gimmick features like moon-phase...
- dual time is good if you travel across timezones occasionally
- alarm is loud
- stopwatch with the usual features
- countdown - the best
- back-light is bright enough
reliable, practical, durable, light, inexpensive and OK looking
good luck
