Who could ask for anything more? July 11, 2008

This isn't a fashion item at all, and it doesn't pretend to be. But it is a sensible practical tool ideal for everyday use. I needed a watch with the accuracy of a digital readout but the clarity of a good analog display, and this one was the closest I could find which is why I chose it. Combis are no good to me, the digital display is far too small.
There's nothing to dislike about this watch. It's light and unobtrusive to wear, with a clear display that has all the essential information on one screen. It keeps excellent time, mine gains only a second a week. And it's easy to reset to the exact time when you want. It is comfortable to wear and the buttons are well placed. I find I don't accidentally push them with my arm and hand movements during normal wear -- this has been a problem with other watches I have had.
The 10 year battery life means that the battery should never need replacing -- my view is that it is usually safer and more economic just to replace the watch at that point. The strap will probably be the Achilles Heel -- why can't Casio get these right when it does everything else so well?
Buy one of these and you'll have paid less than 15 for a watch with no gimmicks and which does everything well. Who could ask for anything more?

Excellent watch and reliable. Good buy for work. I bought it as it displays date and day in easily readable size fonts.
Only downside is strap. i had to replace it once an year. I have used it in very rough manner and no problem with the machine though,very durable.
Strap replacement will cost more than the watch in the uk.
Will definitely buy again.

This is not, and can not ever be, an Omega or a Briteling etc. However it is an accurate and practical time piece.
I bought this watch for work. It was cheap and I really wanted the day and date displayed on the main screen so a quick glance of the watch enabled me to fill in paperwork accurately.
I also wanted something that was disposable in the event of damage (hence no Briteling) and waterproof for showering and swimming.
My first watch lasted me about 4 years before the strap gave way. That was 4 years of daily wear and quite a lot of abuse. I immediately replaced it with the same model. The strap is lasting well this time but I have destroyed the face with paint and scratches.
As I say. Not a valuable dress watch but a very useful and practical daily timepiece.
Certainly worth a tenner!
