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




  • 007 4  this is a great watch for under $20 . looks good and keeps good time i only use the time and date features but it also has other features . only bad thing is get ready to go to the jewelers to shorten the band size . other than that its a great watch for the price .
    • 028 4  This is a great inexpensive watch ! The fit & finish is much better than I expected . For a $20 watch I'm very pleased .
    • 079 4  very complicated to set . nice metal sturdy watch . very good and easily worth the price
    • 096 4  The watch feels cheap but for $20 it is good value . However , there are no instructions to adjust the strap and my own efforts have been fruitless without the right tools . Therefore , a trip to the jewelers will be necessary - and who wants that for a $20 watch !

  • 018 4  I didn't really need another watch , but stumbled upon this while trying to get free shipping for an $11 travel clock I was buying . It seems to be an incredible price ( $20.94 ) for so much capability . . . alarms , international times in various cities , illuminate-able dial , calendar , data storage ( phone numbers , etc . ) , 10 - year battery ( I'm not sure I believe that ) , water resistant to 50 meters ( I don't believe that either , but at least I can probably swim with it ) , stop watch and timer , stainless steel case and band and both digital and analog displays . It looks pretty good , and is not too bulky or heavy . It does not have a sweep second hand , but you can choose to have elapsed seconds displayed in the digital read-out . Only down sides I've found so far is that the instructions say Avoid allowing the watch to come in contact with hair liquids , colognes , sun block creams and other toiletries , which can cause deterioration of the plastic parts of the watch ( function buttons ) . The sun block restriction pretty much rules out using it while golfing or hiking , a disappointment . It also recommends replacing the rubber seal that keeps the water out every 2 or 3 years . I probably won't bother , since the jeweler will probably charge more than the watch's cost to do it . Surprisingly , the specs say the watch is accurate to + or - 30 seconds per month at normal temperature , which means it could gain or lose 6 minutes per year or worse if exposed to a lot of extreme hot or cold weather.That's not as good as my experience with other digital watches I've had , but not a big problem , either . All in all , though , a pretty good deal considering I saved shipping costs as an added bonus .
    • 003 4  This is a really good watch . Looks and feels solid , has all the functions that I would want from a watch . The telememo is kindof pointless in these days of cell phones , but I like it to store misc information . I got this from Chelsea Watch and I am totally happy with the service . They shipped it really fast . ( Their price may be a little bit higher , but the shipping is lower than others )
    • 008 4  Well , this coming August is going to be 5 years wearing , using and abusing this watch . No problems so far with it , the battery is still strong ( the backligt feature has not dimmed at all ) and water resistance is definitively there . I use it at least once a week for swimming in a pool , and I have taken it a few times for short dives in the ocean . Some people dismissed the data bank feature as useless or a thing of the past just because we have now so many other devices ( blackberries , iphones , even regular cellphones ) . However , I still use my watch to store critical , usually short information such as alarm passwords ( like my office's , which is changed monthly ) , password combinations for banking , websites , etc . I guess I could use my cellphone for that as well , but in terms of retriving , nothing beats a look at the wrist and pressing a couple of buttons ! My only big complain with this watch over 5 years is how easily the crystal picks up scratches . I have to admit that I am partly to blame for that . I've used it on several rough camping trips , and I have no pitty on the watch when it comes to using it . . . just love it . I hope I can give another update in 5 years , possibly with the battery still alive .
    • 009 4  I really like this watch . Yes , the lense is plastic and it did scratch quickly but I wear it working as a handyman everyday . However ! ! I did make the lense look new again by using a product called liquid lense that I had purchased some time ago to take out scratches from eye glasses ( stil available online ) . Second important point is that of removing a link or two to make the bracelet fit your wrist . Google - watch band sizing , go to How to resize the most common bracelets , then go down to casio and find out how easy it is to remove a link ! ! I couldn't have done this without seeing this site . I didn't find this watch to small or large or to thick or thin . It is just right ! ! and I love the countdown feature ! !
    • 011 4  I think this is a very handsome watch - I don't like cluttered watch faces . I find the size quite appropriate for a man with large hands . The accuracy is amazing - it was only off by 2 - 3 seconds in the first three weeks of use as compared to my desk clock that syncs with the atomic clock . The light is quite bright ( and classy looking , around the edge instead of backlighting . ) If you want to see the digital time at night , buy a digital watch instead . I had no trouble learning how to use it , but then I'm technically adept and I've owned a few Casio watches over the 30 years since I bought my first digital watch - a Casio . I like the Telememo feature so I can look up frequently used numbers without having to fire up my pda . The only two nit-picky things I can think of : the watch is somewhat thick and the metal band occasionally snags a hair on my wrist . I prefer this band to the rubber ones though due to its being longer-lasting and having a quick release clasp .
    • 012 4  This is a great watch for the price . I use the countdown timer and alarms regularly . None of the functions are hard to access or use . The band is adjustable by removing links and can be further adjusted by moving where the band attaches to the clasp ( one reviewer seemed to have failed to noticed this and faulted the watch for having a bad fit ) .
    • 017 4  Absolutly a nice watch for the money . So far keeps good time . And as it goes I keep finding new funtions on it , like entering my name for a banner that scrolls across the screen .
    • 031 4  For the price and features , this watch is a good buy . I nearly sent it back because the specifications given on the Amazon listing stated that it had a stainless steel case . In fact , it has a stainless steel back and a plastic case that the watch band pins go into . In my past experience with this construction the pins eventually break off the plastic ears of the case . My other negative comment is that it is very difficult to lengthen or shorten the watch band and the only instructions for doing so are on the internet ( and still difficult to understand and accomplish ) . Finally , you need a magnifying glass to read the fine print on the instruction sheet and an assistant to make the settings for time , etc . I eventually decided to keep it to avoid the ensuing hassle involved . If and when it breaks , I will throw it away even if 6 of the 10 years of the battery remain .
    • 033 4  I bought this watch as a gift for my husband and he loves it . It's very stylish and the face is big and easy for him to read even without glasses . The instructions were easy to read and follow for setting it the first time . All in all I give this a 4 star rating at this time since he hasn't worn it long enough to say how durable it is over time .
    • 035 4  I was looking for a simple watch . No frills . This watch actually has a lot of capabilities ( stop watch , alarm , etc . ) that I really don't use ( I use my iPhone ) , but at least they don't get in the way . The only thing I do miss is a second hand . Had I noticed it didn't have one , I probably would have looked more . But , I do like this watch .
    • 043 4  Excellent watch for the price . I bouhgt it for everyday use at work ( shop ) and for $20 is a great value . I don't have to worry abouth scratching it since it was really cheap . I still get chronograph , alarms , etc .
    • 051 4  Ive been using this watch for over two months everyday . Its great for a backup watch or for everyday rough use . Light , durable and neat looking . Has tons of options like a backlight display , stopwatch , timer , telephone book and world time , water resistance . What more could u ask for in a price range this small .
    • 058 4  For the price this watch is a winner . The watch band is of nice quality stainless steel . Amazon states that the watch case is stainless , nope it's plastic . Only the case back is stainless . They also say that the crystal is mineral glass . Not true , plastic also . The watch keeps good time though , looks great , and is light weight ( thanks to all the plastic ) . The battery life is advertised to be 10 years ; if true I will never have to replace the battery , because it will out last the watch ! The watch is fairly easy to set , but you may need to refer to the instructions . The digital and analog times must be set separately which is a real pain . Overall this watch is a good value for the price .
    • 064 4  The watch looks nice , but I found it more complicated than I wanted and hard to read without the bottom hour digits . Also there are no instructions on how to adjust the band , so you have to figure it out by trial and error . All I want is a simple good looking decent cheap watch .
    • 075 4  I really like ( d ) this watch . Looks nice for the money , but the battery died after 10 months and who wants to got through the hassle of trying to get warranty service on a [ . . . ] watch ? Might buy another anyway .
    • 088 4  I love this watch - unfortunately I've had it for 14 months and the 10 year battery only lasted 10 months and the watch recently has been malfunctioning . The analog time is losing about 5 - 10 minutes and a day and the timer has been blinking out sometimes - just stops . Warranty has expired so it's not worth a dime . Too bad . It's perfect for a cheap watch that has hands , an alarm and a timer . I may even buy another one assuming that I'm just renting this for a year or two for $20 . . .
    • 090 4  The band on this watch must be adjustable downward - - it is too big for my wrist - - but I can't find instructions for removing links and can't figure out how to do it on my own . Too bad , because the watch seems quite useful otherwise . I had to take it to a watch repair shop and spend at least as much as the purchase price to have the band adjusted .
    • 091 4  I've been wearing this daily for almost 2 years . It's kinda cheap looking but I did pay premium price either . Things I like - 1 . Stainless steel band . I'm tired of throwing watches away simply because I wore out the leather or rubber bands . 2 . Long battery life . Things I don't like - 1 . The two dails are not aligned 100% . I noticed this right out of the box . Cheap , cheap , cheap ! 2 . Ajusting the time back an hour with the analog hands is pain .
    • 094 4  It is a nice watch , however the band was broken , and there was no way I could get it fixed with amazon . This is a major concern with me . It wasn't shipping damage , so I couldn't go to the shipper , is was broke from Amazon , and there are no known methodologies for returning it to Amazon . Now I am worried about the laptop I ordered .

  • 022 4  Wonderful design . Easy to read , easy to change functions , no distracting sweep second hand , no stem sticking out , nice light , great alarms , good stopwatch and countdown timer , world time functions , and telephone memos . Classy metal band , reasonable water resistance and a disposable price !
    • 027 4  This is an excellent watc . Good Looking , Works , programs easily and at a great price . AAA + + + +
    • 044 4  Works great . . looks good . . . i was not that satisfied with the belt as it kinda looks inferior when you wear it . watch is light in weight and heavy in functionality . . .
    • 086 4  the setting is a bit complicated probably because i never took the time to fiddle or read the manual it has an alarm , different world time , night light and a mini note holder which i find pretty kool

  • 026 4  i bought this as a gift for my father and he like it , adjusting the time and date is kinda different but its still easy if you read the instructions , i think its really a great watch considering the price .
    • 066 4  I was quite impressed with this watch . It is really nice looking for the price . My husband hates all jewelry , but he even said he liked it and will actually wear it .
    • 073 4  it is ok as a watch for this price , but the case is plastic and not reliable enough .

  • 083 4  The watch is large , unwieldy and difficult to use . These negative characteristics would be minimally acceptable IF you were able to read the 3 - point type in which the manual is printed . It's nearly impossible to manipulate the controls , read the manual while holding a magnifying glass , while trying to decipher what the words want you to accomplish . I sent it back after two days and only suffered the loss of $4.95 shipping costs . Go for something easier to use .
    • 015 4  Very pleased with the watch , the shipping . . . everything . I like the way the watch looks . Very classy . The only thing with Casio watches is learning how to change the time but , thats with all Casio watches and I own 5 of them .
    • 021 4  I am very pleased with this watch , The only thing i would change is the volumn of the alarms , I can't hear them sometimes . Everything else is just fine .
    • 029 4  I love this watch . It has dual watches , the hour hand and digital read out . The Digital read out also has world time zones , stop watch , and date . The illuminate hands are just ok ; however , the hour marks are not illuminating at all . The night light is ok for hour hand but I can not read the digital displace at all .
    • 037 4  It looks like a very expensive watch . It is well made . I have use it many times inside the ocean and still works like a champ .
    • 053 4  I like the watch . I like digital and this watch gives the look of analog but with the digital functionality . I have two issues with it that stopped me from giving it 5 stars . One the light is to dim to see any of the digital stuff . Two , the alarm doesn't go off long enough . I only had 8 beeps . Other than that I love it
    • 067 4  This product is a bit lighter with a cheaper look than i expected.But all in all has great functinality I love it for the road . . . not for a date or function
    • 077 4  I try more so to find watches that fit and this watch stated my size but with the type of band it has it was to small so I gave it to my son .

    • 001 4  This review is from : Casio Men's Ana-Digi AW80D - 1AV 10 - Year Battery Bracelet Watch ( Watch ) The watch looks sober and stylish . PROS : 1 . Casio make , presumably good quality materials and movement . 2 . Nice design CONS : 1 . Light is feeble and does not illuminate the digital panel 2 . Case of watch is not completely stainless steel , lower part is resin . In my last casio the resin clasp for the watch band broke . I bought this because I thought it would be stainless steel , but its not really . 3 . The mineral dial cover is convex , so it will pick up scratches ( like my last casio ) . I prefer flat watches 4 . The watch is thick ( say 3 / 60 )

    • 019 4  This review is from : Casio Men's Ana-Digi AW80D - 1AV 10 - Year Battery Bracelet Watch ( Watch ) This watch isn't going to impress people in the boardroom , but if you are a young , broke student like myself , it will get the job done . I wanted a watch to wear when I wear my suit to work or interviews . Until I can afford a nicer watch , this will be a good fit . Band was large , but easily adjusted at a jeweler in less than five minutes .

    • 081 4  This review is from : Casio Men's Ana-Digi AW80D - 1AV 10 - Year Battery Bracelet Watch ( Watch ) when I recieved this watch my first impression was it was very sleek looking . After playing with it for a while I realized it was very confusing to set , but not to confusing to where you can not do it if you take the time . The band looks nice but is not easy to re-size so I will have to take it to a jewler as opposed to doing it myself . Doesnt anyone make a basic watch anymore that just tells time and the date ? But is also nice looking ?

  • Casio Men's Ana-Digi AW80D - 1AV 10 - Year Battery Bracelet Watch ( Watch ) SCORE GUIDE : Appearance : 2 Wear : 3 Features : 3 Price : ( as listed ) 5 Average : 3.25 , or 3 for our purposes When my 3rd Timex Expedition broke ( a nice , robust black plastic model with a plastic band and a compass . . . sigh ) , I needed to fill the work watch void with a new model . Sadly , realizing that my plastic Expeditions were all waiting to break , and noting that my two non-work watches possessed traits I really enjoyed ( analog face and durable all-metal construction ) , I concluded my new every-day work watch would be like the other two , though less costly . I shopped around ye olde Amazon for an all-metal watch with an analog face - for cheap . But not too cheap , right ? I eventually found this Casio , and after reading the specs and distancing my perception that all Casios were cheap digital models often with numeric keypads for their built-in calculator , I pulled the trigger . Three months later , here are my impressions , to help you make an informed decision : APPEARANCE : I rate this a two ( out of five ) for the quality and appearance of the metal . Note that 90% of the watch is metal ( housing , band , back ) but four rivets , part of the housing , the circle around the face , and the four buttons are an ugly matte dark gray that doesn't really show up in the Amazon picture . Not a big deal , but it looks cheap juxtaposed with metal . Next , the stainless steel is not particularly shiny , and the machining around the edges is rough - this is the first metal watch I've owned where the term jagged could almost be used . It isn't jagged , but it's not smooth , either . Finally , the black face has classy silver detailing with some white , red and yellow ( as well as the requsitite glow-in-the-dark for the hands and top half of the hours ) . In total , a pleasing , easy-to-read face somewhat marred by the quartz-gray digital semi-circle inhabiting the bottom . WEAR : I'd estimate my wrist where the watch sits is nine inches around , and it fits loosely but doesn't dangle . A nice , comfortable fit , though if you have smaller wrists , this could be a problem . I don't know the logistics of re-sizing watches , but there don't seem to be any screws or access points . That being said , I'm sure it could be resized by a trained watch-resizing professional . FEATURES : Besides my analog face and metal requirements , what intrigued me about this watch were the digital components , and these net the Casio a 3 out of 5 . As I mentioned before , there is a small semi-circle quartz viewport on the lower half of the face . This smallish window holds the digital time ( which must be set independently of the analog time - confusing to say the least ) , the day and date , a number of presets for global city times ( for the globe-trotter that wears Casio ? ) , a timer , a chronograph ( for the long-distance runner who wears metal watches ? ) , a programmable alarm ( with snooze ! ) and the most unwieldy , bizarre data-entry feature you might imagine , the Telememo 30 which stores 30 independent strings of characters ( words , phone numbers , the alphabet ) . Excepting the insanely useless Telememo , all the other digital features function reasonably well , but none excel and a few are insidiously confusing . For those that live or work in darkness , Casio's Illuminator watch-face lighting technology is a poor man's Indiglo . Spelunkers note : do not plan on using this watch in total darkness . PRICE : I scored this watch for $23 , about the price one would expect to pay for digital / plastic watch with roughly the same features ( unless you're talking a bare-bones analog face ) . The watch itself proclaims its 10 year battery ! - we'll see about that - but it might as well say , Inexpensive , Ugly , Rugged and Somewhat Useful ! . For a handy , metally , cheap-but-not-shoddy everyday work watch , this buster does the job . Needless to say , I recommend spending a few extra bucks and getting a better watch .
    • 068 4  This watch is far too complicated and the user has NO CHANCE of adjusting any settings or changing the configuration without referring to a VERY COMPLICATED and poorly written set of instructions . You have to push one sequence of buttons EIGHT TIMES just to move the hour and minute hands . If you are trying to set the hour hand ahead 23 hours in Spring , you have to hold one button down for several minutes while the hands cycle ahead very slowly to set the correct times . Imagine doing that twice a year for day-light-saving time . If you lose the instructions . . . . FORGET IT ! ! ! ! ! This is an extremely poorly designed product and I returned it .
    • 069 4  This review is from : Casio Men's Ana-Digi AW80D - 1AV 10 - Year Battery Bracelet Watch ( Watch ) SCORE GUIDE : Appearance : 2 Wear : 3 Features : 3 Price : ( as listed ) 5 Average : 3.25 , or 3 for our purposes When my 3rd Timex Expedition broke ( a nice , robust black plastic model with a plastic band and a compass . . . sigh ) , I needed to fill the work watch void with a new model . Sadly , realizing that my plastic Expeditions were all waiting to break , and noting that my two non-work watches possessed traits I really enjoyed ( analog face and durable all-metal construction ) , I concluded my new every-day work watch would be like the other two , though less costly . I shopped around ye olde Amazon for an all-metal watch with an analog face - for cheap . But not too cheap , right ? I eventually found this Casio , and after reading the specs and distancing my perception that all Casios were cheap digital models often with numeric keypads for their built-in calculator , I pulled the trigger . Three months later , here are my impressions , to help you make an informed decision : APPEARANCE : I rate this a two ( out of five ) for the quality and appearance of the metal . Note that 90% of the watch is metal ( housing , band , back ) but four rivets , part of the housing , the circle around the face , and the four buttons are an ugly matte dark gray that doesn't really show up in the Amazon picture . Not a big deal , but it looks cheap juxtaposed with metal . Next , the stainless steel is not particularly shiny , and the machining around the edges is rough - this is the first metal watch I've owned where the term jagged could almost be used . It isn't jagged , but it's not smooth , either . Finally , the black face has classy silver detailing with some white , red and yellow ( as well as the requsitite glow-in-the-dark for the hands and top half of the hours ) . In total , a pleasing , easy-to-read face somewhat marred by the quartz-gray digital semi-circle inhabiting the bottom . WEAR : I'd estimate my wrist where the watch sits is nine inches around , and it fits loosely but doesn't dangle . A nice , comfortable fit , though if you have smaller wrists , this could be a problem . I don't know the logistics of re-sizing watches , but there don't seem to be any screws or access points . That being said , I'm sure it could be resized by a trained watch-resizing professional . FEATURES : Besides my analog face and metal requirements , what intrigued me about this watch were the digital components , and these net the Casio a 3 out of 5 . As I mentioned before , there is a small semi-circle quartz viewport on the lower half of the face . This smallish window holds the digital time ( which must be set independently of the analog time - confusing to say the least ) , the day and date , a number of presets for global city times ( for the globe-trotter that wears Casio ? ) , a timer , a chronograph ( for the long-distance runner who wears metal watches ? ) , a programmable alarm ( with snooze ! ) and the most unwieldy , bizarre data-entry feature you might imagine , the Telememo 30 which stores 30 independent strings of characters ( words , phone numbers , the alphabet ) .

    • 080 4  I liked the features of the watch but the case was so poorly made that it broke before the pin which is supposed to be the expendable part . It didn't last 3 months and it costs more to mail it to Casio for exchange than it is worth . AVOID any Casio with a resin case !

  • 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 .
    • 002 4  The watch looks sober and stylish . PROS : 1 . Casio make , presumably good quality materials and movement . 2 . Nice design CONS : 1 . Light is feeble and does not illuminate the digital panel 2 . Case of watch is not completely stainless steel , lower part is resin . In my last casio the resin clasp for the watch band broke . I bought this because I thought it would be stainless steel , but its not really . 3 . The mineral dial cover is convex , so it will pick up scratches ( like my last casio ) . I prefer flat watches 4 . The watch is thick ( say 3 / 60 )
    • 005 4  I immediately returned this watch when I saw it . The photo is very deceptive . The watch face is very small and the digital numbers are very tiny . The light does not help at all . The black background makes it very difficult to see the analog part of the watch . Overall a small watch that is really not very well designed . Amazon needs to include actual size photos of jewelry and watches . Until this happens I will no longer buy these items on Amazon . The current photos make these items look much larger then they are in real life .
    • 006 4  Excellent product for the price . Great functionality . Time is very easy to read . Stainless steel bracelet with clasp makes it a robust watch to wear while working . Day-date and world-time features are a great plus . Have had the watch for a month and it has been working out really well . Only downside - - watch mechanism is encased in plastic with steel overlap - - would have preferred this to be complete steel like the band .
    • 013 4  PRO : jewelers screwdriver and a pair of needle nose plies allows the band to be adjusted smaller . Needed a watch to wear for daughters wedding and liked the looks and price . CON : Even wearing for dress the crystal is convex and the plastic scratches easily .
    • 014 4  Looks good , feels good , what else can you expect ? . . . great price ! ! ! ! Little tricky to adjust band , but can be done without taking it to a jeweler .
    • 020 4  This watch isn't going to impress people in the boardroom , but if you are a young , broke student like myself , it will get the job done . I wanted a watch to wear when I wear my suit to work or interviews . Until I can afford a nicer watch , this will be a good fit . Band was large , but easily adjusted at a jeweler in less than five minutes .
    • 024 4  I like to buy watches for gifts , they are a great gift.This watch , is great , easy to read , keeps great time.No complaints from anyone that I bought them for presents.They love this watch !
    • 040 4  I bought this for $20 and I couldn't imagine a better deal . If the watch battery lasts 10 years as advertised , that's only $2 / year ! The pros and cons have been noted by the other reviews . One thing I didn't see in the reviews was how the watch hands can hide the digital display . The stock image has the hands in the upper half of the watch but if it's 6 : 30 and you need to see the date or use the stopwatch then the hands are a pain .
    • 041 4  It's a good timepiece for the money . A bit difficult to set ; there are many features I will never use and had to scroll through .
    • 045 4  Good one . All the features specified are good enough to make it a good watch . Should consider this , if thinking of this price range .
    • 046 4  This is a nice watch for the price you pay for it . And I'm expecting it to last me a while . Two things people should be aware of though : 1 ) While the band is metal , the watch body is plastic . 2 ) The glass of the watch is dome shaped not flat , so it may be easy to scratch . I have gotten it dirty several times by accidentally rubbing my hand against a wall . I was lucky that the was was painted and not concrete or the glass would have been badly scratched .
    • 047 4  Besides price , the most important feature I was looking for when I bought this watch was weight . After many years of wearing macho , overweight , chunky men's watches which I think has left a permanent soreness in my wrist , i found this watch to be the perfect weight and thickness and still look very masculine . I bought this watch on clearance about 2 years ago from Walmart for about $20 plus tax , so after figuring in inflation , this price on Amazon is great , especially since you won't pay for tax and shipping . The electronic adjustment of the analog hands does take some getting used to , but most people will only do it twice a year for daylight savings . I definitely need my manual every time . The world time function is very cool . For the 2 or so times a year I vacation out of my time zone , I can leave the analog time set at my home city time and choose a different pre-set world city's time on the digital display . One thing that does take away from the beauty of this watch is the grey plastic accents around the bezel of this watch . Not quite ugly , but no one will mistake this for an expensive watch .
    • 048 4  This was a gift for my husband . He seems to be very pleased with the watch and the cost was much lower that I expected to spend . I thought a watch of this quality would be at least $70 - $90 . But , as I said , he's happy and he'll get another watch for Christmas ! ( This was a gift for Fathers ' Day ) . I recommend this purchase !
    • 055 4  This is my third Casio watch in a row and I have yet to be disappointed in the quality or the price . I especially like that both digital and analog features are combined in this watch along with a number of alarms , a stopwatch , phone book , etc . , etc . Plus , it has an attractive metal band . Again , I think this is a fine watch at a great price . Highly recommended .
    • 056 4  An ana-digi watch with stainless steel wristband for $22 ? I bought one and I am completely happy with it . It has a great look ( doesn't really look like a $20 watch ) . I had no issues with the light or viewing it at night - it has a light button , and the ticks and pointers glow in the dark ( although the luminescence is quite faint ) . It has all the usual bells and whistles ( stop watch , alarm ) , plus world time and a little digital phone book . Paid $7 to resize the wristband , and I still think the watch is a bargain . The only minus that I found so far is that the lens is not actually made of glass - probably it is some type of plastic - so it may be easier for it to accumulate scratches - especially if you are a little clumsy like me . I got one already ( barely noticeable ) bumping on my door jamb , and , if my other Casios are any indication , it won't probably look that good in 3 or 5 years . But for 20 $ , I am not complaining .
    • 061 4  Although this watch looks metal it is not . The band is and the back is but a good portion of the case is plastic covered with a cheap silver decorative piece . The decorative piece fell off in a month ( had to glue it back on ) and after another few months the prong on the case that holds the pin to secure the band completely broke off = cheap plastic .
    • 062 4  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 .
    • 082 4  when I recieved this watch my first impression was it was very sleek looking . After playing with it for a while I realized it was very confusing to set , but not to confusing to where you can not do it if you take the time . The band looks nice but is not easy to re-size so I will have to take it to a jewler as opposed to doing it myself . Doesnt anyone make a basic watch anymore that just tells time and the date ? But is also nice looking ?
    • 085 4  On the newer model I received the only trick to removing a link was to : 1 ) pry up one of the links with an arrow on it to about 45 degrees 2 ) slide out that undesired link ( repeat to take out more then one ) 3 ) pry up another link with an arrow and reattach the strap . Overall really easy and much better then spending the $10 - $20 the watch shops wanted for the adjustment Overall happy with the watch - a very solid 4 stars .
    • 092 4  It looks nice in photo in the this web but when i get it , i looks priceless . However , It ' s very cheap .
