Best all-around

Pros:
Rotating top-ring, 200m water resistent, LED lighting. luminescent paint is two colors: green for hands, blue for hour markers. Screw-down crown, screw-down caseback (usually found on higher end diver's watches).
Cons:
Crystal "bulges" outward (prone to scratching), the inset luminescent marker on the topring does not glow very brightly/hard to see in dim lighting. Dial is not completely black, but more of a dark gray (Topring is completely black). Uncomfortable strap. Topring is hard to turn with fingerpads - I have to use my nail, especially underwater.
I've been windsurfing and sailing with this watch and it's been great. If you want a basic, durable diver's watch, look no further. At this price, this is the one to beat. |
Unbeatable price performance ratio

Works great. Drifts only a few seconds per month. Feels very robust and solid. Looks good and pretty expensive from a distance, as long as you're far away enough for people not to read the "CASIO" label... The light is very strong, can be used to search for stuff in darkness etc. The bezel ring comes in handy when you want to time your pasta etc.
All this at a ridiculously low price! |
Casio sport watch - the best.

| Watch is the perfect match for an outdoor person. Large face, lights up, durable band all the best features in an analog watch. |

Received this watch recently and so far am impressed. The important facts are:
1) It looks much nicer in real life, than the pictures here show. It looks very classy and just looks great.
2) The LED light is outstanding. I don't know how much it will affect battery life though. Shouldn't be too much since it's an LED.
3) The band it came with is thick rubber (like a gshock) and I am a little disappointed in it's feel. I'll probably try to find a better band. Despite the band, I still gave it a 5 star because the watch itself is gorgeous and bands can be replaced easily enough.
BTW, this could be a great (and cheap) gift too. It's really really nice looking. |
CAN'T BE THE WATCH FOR THE PRICE!

| My 14 year old son asked me if the watch was a "James Bond" watch. I said, "no," just a cheap, good quality watch. The watch has kept very accurate time, durable, good looking. I did change the strap and now like it even a whole lot better. Dollar for dollar you just can't beat the quality for the price you pay! |
great low cost watch

Don't judge this watch by the band

| It's true about the watchband being pretty bad, (it's rock hard plastic) but this is easily solved. I went to Longs Drugs and bought a "Timex Sport Collection-Replacement for Casio-Water Resistant B-36" replacement band (22mm). $5.95. (maybe Amazon carries them). VERY soft and comfortable band that is also a flatter profile and looks better. I'm a landscaper and wanted a tough waterproof watch, that's easy to read at a glance, yet sharp in appearance. This is a major "guys" watch. Today's watches are getting to be pretty gimmicky and silly looking,....and I wanted just the old classic design, like this one. I've had it for over two weeks and it keeps perfect time,... matching my much more expensive Pulsar dress watch. Very pleased. Thanks Amazon. Many thanks to the other folks who posted their feedback too,.....it encouraged me to go for this one. You were right. It's a quality timepiece at a stunning price. The dial light is outstanding and the glow in the dark aspect of it?,....well, I hate to use a cliche word like "cool",....but it is. |
