Simple, elegant and durable!
As my eyesight gets worse with age, I was looking for a durable, waterproof, easy-to-read watch with a simple timer that looked great on my wrist. I own both a Fitbit and Apple watch – I was getting tired of being tracked all the time and getting notifications about everything (which yes, I know can be adjusted). I’ve owned Casio watches before and still have a G-Shock digital that’s been running great for almost 20 years, so after reading many reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere, it was an easy decision to make.I went with the black face and bezel model, although you really can’t go wrong with any of the other colors offered. It’s a classic diving watch that, in my opinion, looks sturdy, cleaner and more elegant than some of the more expensive competitors. Given Casio’s proven durability over the decades and the price point of this particular watch, you can’t miss with this one.There are a ton of You Tube videos and review articles online about this diver (which is a bit of a cult classic it seems) – the vast majority of which are overwhelmingly positive, so I won’t add much more here that hasn’t already been stated there. One common “complaint” that I noticed though is regarding the stock watchband. Many are critical of it, but I tend to disagree.I did take the advice of some and tried a few different aftermarket bands – the Barton elite silicone, a Ritchie classic leather band, and a Ritchie nylon NATO strap (all available on Amazon). With the exception of the NATO, I personally found the stock Casio diver band the watch comes with to be the most comfortable of the others tried – not taking away from or knocking the others by any means, it’s just a “why spend the extra money” type thing for a $50-ish watch. Simply a personal thing…Re the NATO strap in my pics: I did keep the Ritchie Premium Nylon strap to compliment the watch. It really does dress it up and make the timepiece pop for more “formal” occasions if you will – and very comfortable too. For everyday use though, the stock classic diver-style band turned out to be the most practical for me – one I recommend over aftermarket options and especially for those in the trades or who are knocking around on the beach, out hunting, at the lake, etc.If I had to be critical of any aspect of this watch, it would be the luminescent capacity of the hands and markers – something also frequently mentioned in many of the reviews I read online. It’s marginal at best. When blasted with high intensity light, the markers glow brilliantly initially, but it does seem to fade quick. I mention it because if this is an important feature for you night owls, it is something to consider. For me, it’s acceptable and not enough of a factor for me to change my rating of the piece.Bottom line is that I highly recommend this waterproof diver. It’s superior quality with Casio durability and reliability at a price that can’t be beat. It keeps d***-near perfect time and doesn’t have to be charged on a daily basis or wound ever – just a simple, inexpensive battery keeps it going for a couple of years. You will not be disappointed with this one! Thx, DTEdit 2/2/2024: A word on timekeeping: Having owned this watch for a while now, it does GAIN a few seconds every month. I go to http://www.time.gov to set adjust time every now and then… It’s still more accurate than my other watches though – amazing considering this is a $50-ish dollar piece. Highly recommend this watch!

Excellent and inexpensive!
Best bang for the buck deal! A large, great looking watch! The blue is beautiful!!Mine keeps perfect time, waterproof to 200m, shows date, has unidirectional adjustable bezel, and has a very nicely finished stainless steel case. Best deal in new watches!

 

Un clásico y referente de la marca Casio y los relojes de cuarzo. Amado por muchos, odiado por otros, pero siempre comparado con relojes que superan por mucho su precio.Es un reloj asequible y duradero, ya lo he golpeado mas de lo que deberia y a pesar de tener cristal mineral y un bisel de aluminio, no se le ha hecho ninguna rayadura o marca. Es mi reloj de diario y me gusta que se puede llevar tanto en situaciones informales como formales.Si pudiera poner contras, diria que me gustaria que sus materiales sean de mas calidad y que incluyera la correa metalica. Sin embargo, debido al precio me parece justo, además, creo que es un buen reloj para modificar ya que no podrias hacer esto con un reloj más caro.Finalmente puedo añadir que es un reloj masculino, hecho para hombres y sobre todo para “maltratar” en el trabajo y el dia a día.
