Excellent watch. Such a comfort to know that it will always tell the right time wherever I am, and that I will never have to worry about batteries
Excellent watch. Such a comfort to know that it will always tell the right time wherever I am, and that I will never have to worry about batteries
This watch is remarkable. Solar and Multiband 6 so there’s little else you could want from a watch. I’ve had solar watches for over 20 years (I like them!) and this is one of the best, especially for the price, and titanium!
I’m not sure why the fuss about the “plastic” PART of the case. The rubbery plastic goes around the edge, it is not underneath nor on the top.
Casio provides with this watch an INCREDIBLE link removal tool for the straps. When I used it I was like, “that’s it?”. It’s ludicrously easy to remove and add links.
The only thing I’d say is that the picture here gave me the impression that the glass was more flat and I’d describe it as everso slightly rounded and the watch is bigger (only a little) than expected.
Love it.
EDIT: After just a few days of wearing it I had to send it back. The watch face is totally reflective (unlike in the picture) and indoors with a light on above you (as they usually are) it creates a reflection that resembles the hour and minute hands. I had to keep changing the angle to see what the time was.
Very sad to see it go. Wish it had a matt face like in the picture. Purchased a Citizen Men’s Eco-Drive Watch Cb0020-50E and yes, more than double the price but am blown away.
Apart from the fact that the postal wrapping was open ( a corrugated book wrap!) the watch was undamaged, packed well in the presentation box (metal) and works excellently.Any light will keep it charged and time keeping is the most accurate you can get. It looks smart, not too big, and it is relatively easy to use the additional functions once the instructions are followed. Don’t be daunted by the thick instruction manual – it is multilingual.Adjustments to the strap are easy, using the accompanying tool, with patience.
Up and running,in no time.Set watch for London and the watch set itself.Removed 4 links with supplied tool,a doddle.Watch looks good in titanium, very pleased.

Looks good. Feels good. Pretty easy to use and easy to adjust strap length and a good price.
Very happy with this purchase so fa
I don’t usually write reviews but this watch deserves one.
It looks great, is lightweight and the wristband links are a doddle to remove or replace to make it fit right.The hands are really luminous and can be read easily in the dark but if that is not good enough there is also a light which illuminates the whole dial.
Straight out of the tin, it comes in a tin, it started to work but unfortunately it was reading 1 hour fast. However after 2 visits to the very helpful Casio support team it was found that the watch was set up for Paris time. This was reset to London time and a’ voila it is now working perfectly.
This watch is one that I feel I could comfortably wear to any sort of function.
The functions on the watch are very handy and easy to access and use once you get the hang of it but what I would say is that this watch may not be for the technophobe as there is no easy way to adjust this watch manually. But hey that is what this watch is all about, once set up its all automatic, Time with daylight saving, 30 or 31 day months it is always correct.
Once you learn the setup, this is a superb watch. Looks good, very robust. and its good to know that I will drown before the workings get wet !! Very easy to read with plenty of choices of features. Excellent.
This is a fantastic watch. Very pleased I bought the black version which looks far far better in real life than it does in the pictures. Set itself as I took it out of the box, but then as advised in the instructions, I set the home city code and did a manual receive and it is working perfectly. Completely satisfied with my purchase which I ordered late pm and was delivered to me at 10am the next morning.
This is my second Casio wave ceptor watch though this features a lighter, titanium strap . My first one is still functioning but has lost coating and gained a few scratches over the years. I value its absolute accuracy, it’s solar charging and its classical good looks. Also, with three control buttons rather than four, I’m sure utilising its functions will be more straight forward. The clincher for me was the very competitive price via Amazon.
My previous watch was an earlier version of this one, which I liked very much. The case and bracelet were stainless steel, but the section between the case and the bracelet was resin with a metallic coating. Although this looked good at first, after a few years of use the metallic coating started to wear off and began to look rather tatty. This watch, however, is cased in titanium and the section between the case and bracelet is covered in a shell of titanium, which looks as if it will not wear off.
This watch is noticeably lighter than its predecessor (63gms instead of 89gms), and the case is approx. 1.5mm thinner, which makes it far more comfortable to wear.
Although the count-down timer is a welcome addition, the removal of one of the buttons is, I suspect, the reason why it is no longer possible to scroll forwards and backwards through the list of world-time cities: scrolling is one way only. This also applies to the count-down timer: to change from, say, 5mins to 1min, it is necessary to scroll all the way to 99 and then carefully increment to 1, being careful not to overshoot and having to scroll all the way round again.
Its nice to know that it will get time updates in China, even if its unlikely that I’ll ever go there.
The luminous hands and dial are easy to read in the dark, and the new way of adjusting the size of the bracelet is total simplicity.
All in all, this watch is a definite improvement over its predecessor, and makes it just about the best watch I’ve had. If only it would scroll backwards.
Lovely watch, works as described and is comfortable to wear. Being the titanium case and strap it is a lot lighter than many with a thinner case than you would expect. It pays to read the manual that comes with it as I found out because overnight I noticed that the lcd display had gone blank and the second hand had stopped at the 12 o’clock position. It turns out that this is a battery saving mode when in poor light conditions for a number of hours to save the battery. If you then touch any button and the battery has been well charged then the second hand moves correctly and the lcd display is working.
UPDATE 4 YEARS ON: This watch is still working well. The battery is not deteriorating at all, showing HI for fully charged via the in built solar panel. With a normal watch I would be looking to change the battery by now. The crystal has one scratch on it but that was caused by high tensile wire. No other scratches. The one thing that is beginning to disappoint is the strap. Occasionally the links will separate because the small pins holding it together are beginning to become worn. Overall still 5 stars.
Please let me know if this has been helpful. Thank you.
Excellent watch, very lightweight, extremely good looking and clear face. The tool provided for removing links to fit the wrist is simplicity itself.
Bought this to replace a M150TD-1AER as it looked good and had a better waterproofing. Same weight and style with all the same facilities. The user instructions are the same as for the M170TD 1AER.
If you are interested get it now as it appears to be a discontinued line with a very good price. I love it.
Opened packaging and watch immediately set itself and started working.
Within 10 minutes of unpacking the watch I had removed the extra links from the bracelet and was wearing the watch.
Due to the design of the bracelet, this process is extremely easy, using the supplied tool.
After wearing the watch for a few hours I realised that the time was 1 hour out. I then looked at manual and found that it needed to be set to what is called ‘Home City’.
This was easy to do, and once ‘Home City’ was set to ‘Lon’ (UK Setting) the watch immediately reset the time to the correct time.
The day/date display is easy to read.
I have not tried any of the many other functions of this watch so cannot comment on them.
My primary reason for purchasing this watch was to have an easy to read totally automatic solar powered watch, and this watch fits the bill perfectly.
If you like a watch that you never have to adjust this is for you.after initial set up that should be it.
Never is a long time tho and sooner or later the capacitor in the watch will fail rendering it useless.
Anothet bad point is the strap is integral to the watch and l suspect will not be easy to replace.
However all this will happen a long time from now and does not detract from the fact that this is an excellent watch..very legible face and a bargain price for all the features it contains.
And it works like magic!!!!
Bought this for my son as a birthday present, it’s a really nice watch very light on the wrist unlike my wavesecptor, and a very good spec for the cost. Took seconds to adjust the strap with the tool supplied, why can’t all watch straps be like this.
I like this watch. All the features I need. Easy to adjust strap length. Lightweight and i can read without my glasses. No more excuses for being late !
Lightweight cool looking watch. Keep time perfectly. ooh amore expensive that it costs! Has a night light that is useful.

I have only had this watch for a week or so but so far I am really impressed with the appearance and functions. No issues getting the time set from the radio signal. I am looking forward to the reassurance that my watch is always at the correct time.
Great watch and as expected keeps very good time. Strap is easy to adjust but for me being stainless steel when it’s cold weather it is a bit loose, ok when I am warm. I like the fact I don’t need to put batteries in, and it’s radio controlled so keeps the date and time right.
Watch came very quickly, well packed in a Postal Box & a very nice Casio Tin which I opened and I saw the Watch was immediately putting itself to the correct time. I have Wireless clocks all around the house & I have 4 Casio Wave Ceptre watches- I know they are all spot on timing to the Second. The Watch comes Factory fresh from Amazon with protective polythene all around the strap & watch. What a fantastic easy adjustment of the Strap (metal links), with an included tool. Lovely to handle. These are great Watches! 5 Star Well pleased and Recommended.
This is the best watch I have had for many years. It might not be the most attractive watch but the automatic timekeeping is superb and you don’t need any extra tools or a visit to a jewellers to have it resized and the the small tool provided easily removes and replaces links. The hourly time signal and several alarms are also a bonus.
Excellent watch at a good price, this was purchased to replace a similar Casio wave ceptor that is over 8 years old still going strong but hands keep slowing down. Just a pity that Casio cannot produce a manual with larger print that is readable, I had to download to my Kindle in order to enlarge it to get the watch set up.
I simply love this watch. The method in which you remove or add the metal links couldn’t be simpler, just use the supplied small plastic tool, push it into the hole and the link pops out. As a disabled person with only 1 working arm, this is just great. No more taking the watch to a jewelers to have it adjusted and with the solar power no more battery changes either. Speaking of solar power, it has an onboard battery powered by the solar panel and since I’ve owned it, this hasn’t moved from the Hi charged position. The time adjusts itself every night, I didn’t even have to adjust the watch when I first opened it, just told it where I was in the world and it did the rest. The picture above doesn’t do the watch justice, it’s more of a dark grey than blue so if you’re worried about the brightness of the face (like I was) then don’t be.
The only thing I don’t like about the watch is the back light which I think could of been better, but it’s a minor point at best and doesn’t stop me giving this watch 5 stars.
Had this watch a couple of weeks now and find it excellent. A little read of the the rather small print instruction book before set up and you’re away. Link removal is so easy with the small tool provided.( what a great idea the link removal system is). It took me about 2 minutes to remove 4 links without any expletives. The strap feels very good quality but also very lightweight, so you hardly notice you are wearing it at all.
Timekeeping is spot on to the second ( I’m a saddo that occasionally checks it against the time signal and take great delight to see it in perfect synch at all times).
The only slight downside may be the backlight. It is just about adequate but no big issue for me as I rarely use it.
The battery and solar function seem great. I take no great measures to recharge in the sun but the battery indicator has always remained on high at all times, so I’m fairly confident that the watch will always have enough power for my needs.
All in all, a well built watch, looks great, feels comfortable and good value for money.
Update. 6 years on and this watch is still working like it did when first purchased and has never missed a beat. Everything about it is superb!
Solar powered, titanium, radio controlled, and more features than expected! Love this one, previous watch is a Seiko solar titanium, still going strong after well over 10 years daily use, hope this performs as well too.
Classy design, without being too Essex…
This arrived in too large a box 8 x 10ins with no protection wadding inside so had been rolling around. Watch comes in a tin the lid was off but luckily watch didn’t fall out – zero marks to Amazon on packaging but watch is as described and very pleased with it.
I bought this watch so I don’t have to think about changing the time every transition from GMT to BST and back, and when travelling abroad. I also don’t have to worry if the watch battery is going to die on me when abroad leaving me without a timepiece. The watch strap is one of the best I have come across for removing links and a tool is provided. The only criticism is that the lower body is light grey plastic and is not concealed from view. So it looks odd amongst the shiny metal finish of the upper body and the strap.
A superb item, even the links in the bracelet were very easy to remove to fit to size. Very clear dial and settings.
I paid for one day service but it took two days to arrive.
Over the moon with this watch. Although it’s very lightweight which I find the biggest plus it’s also very robust and stylish. The lightweight makes it very comfortable and it has a cool nightlight if that flicks your switch. Also this watch on Amazon was 118 and in the shops it was 180.
I never have to change batteries and it automatically sets the time by itself!
It comes with a tool to shorten the wrist strap or to extend it.
Best buy of 2014 for me.
This watch was a present for my husband, and he really loves it. He is a technophobe, but so far has had no problems, and keeps looking at it saying “wonderful”. It looks good too.
very nice watch. always keeps to correct time and updates it regularly to the second. havnt had it long enough to give more feedback.
I bought this watch to replace my old Casio waveceptor which was battery operated and had a plastic dial cover. The old watch had performed extremely well for about 7 years but was looking rather tired. The replacement is much smarter looking. The date window is much better however the second hand is more difficult to see against the blue background. My old watch had a white dial.
I was bought this to replace a Seiko perpetual calendar watch which was all but reliable and was also expensive to maintain over the years. Here are the things I love about it.
1 It’s ridiculously easy to adjust the bracelet. A small tool is supplied, you hold it against a removable link and it pops apart, so simple compared with the previous struggles I have had. Why is link removal generally so badly documented when most of us no longer use a jeweller to do it?
2 Its time keeping is unbeatable, as it synchronizes with the atomic clock at night. Perpetual calendar? Forget it!
3 It is solar powered. Although most of the time it is under my sleeve, it arrived with battery showing MID charge and it is now on HI. My days of battery replacement are over.
4 It is ridiculously light. My old watch was like a manacle in comparison.
5 It has the functions you would expect from a digital watch, like alarms and counters, plus world time and it can display the date and weekday, the time digitally or another function.
6 Its dial is elegant and understated.
7 It has a back light and also glowing hands.
8 One button DST adjustment, if necessary.
Things I dislike?
1 The setup involves three buttons, and needs careful reading of the manual.
2 Mine arrived on Western EU time. I had to change it to the correct time region.
This watch is a winner!
Superb watch. Looks smart & stylish, is light & comfitable to wear, keeps perfect time to the second & never needs a battery change! What more could you ask for?
I cant ask for more. It says what it does and it does what it says.
Very good
Thank you.
Also it arrived two days early which was very helpful. A fantastic service.
So far I am delighted with this watch, it looks very good, it is easy to operate the functions and the instructions are easy to read and follow.
Met all expectations. Just hope the quality lasts and does not have issues with solar power etc., in the near future like other items I have….
Very pleased with the purchase. It arrived before the estimated time of delivery and was well packed. The watch is stylish and functional. The strap size is super easy to adjust.
Practical and smart looking watch.
Perfect for the sporty individual who is in contact with water on a regular basis.
Light weight and comfortable too.
My son was very happy with the watch.
I hipe it will worck for many years, the last one,same model, the watdh is stel working fine after 4 years, but the strap broke, and cannot be repaired been part of the watch casing,.
great watch,always wanted a radio controlled watch and i am well pleased with this one,its so light you dont feel like you are wearing one
So far so good – only have had it a week or so but easy to use and accurate. What more do you need in a watch? Only time will answer that question!
Works straight out of the box. Being clumsy the glass can be scratched easily unfortunately. For the elderly, like me, it takes some time to get used to the various functions.
was what I expected.However even though the package was marked “leave in a safe place” the postman left it propped up against the front door in full view of anyone.Not the fault of Amazon but the carrier.
functionally a perfect analog watch. always accurate, easy to read, good range of display options, robust yet lightweight. oh, and it charges itself in daylight and artificial light too. aesthetically neutral so it will go with anything. what am i going to do with my other 20 watches? if you want an everyday workhorse watch, this is it.
Perfect, does exactly what it says on the tin (it came in a tin!). Removing links is incredibly simple using the plastic tool supplied, certainly the best and easiest link removal I have ever come across. Once I set the home city the hands turned and the time was accurately set. This watch is light, strong (Titanium case and bracelet), easy to use with clear instructions, I really cannot fault it in any way.
I had a previous version of this model which I chose for clear face; solar power, and remote updating – the rim surrounding the face dropped off after several years. This one has one button less (so less fussy) and has worldwide time zones potential, though I found it does not select automatically – you need to take the miniaturised instruction manual to remind you how to do it. The face is not as blue as shown in some photos – really a blue/grey. Got this at reduced price, presumably because Casio have discontinued this line. Buy it.
Accurate and no need to worry about batteries. Easily adjusted strap using the tool provided. Very good value compared to the price on the high street and in other internet sites.

So far an excellent replacement for an older version of a Casio Wave Ceptor purchased about seven years ago. Only reason for replacing was one of the lugs for the pin of the bracelet broke off the watch body. Lets hope the plastic used for the body of this one is stronger! The strap adjustment is a brilliant design and the easiest that I have ever seen. Just read the instructions and use the small plastic tool enclosed with the watch. The use of plastic for the main part of the body is to facilitate the reception of the time signal and together with titanium for the metal parts of the body and bracelet makes this an ultra light watch to wear. Needles to say time keeping is excellent and the instructions included for adjusting the various functions of the watch are clear and simple to follow. An excellent purchase at a very attractive price.
I wanted a solar powered watch with the atomic time keeping feature – the digital display and other features are an added bonus.
I also think it looks very smart.Very pleased with this purchase and the Amazon price!
This was a replacement for my eight year old Casio ‘Waveceptor’ which was getting a bit scruffy. This,, in my opinion, is a brilliant watch. Titanium construction gives it a weight of 2.3 oz’s.& skillful electronics lets it pick the most powerful time signal available.
Living in southern Spain, the signal can be a little weak but,this watch has never failed to receive once, unlike another watch I unfortunately recently bought !! I feel that any person buying this watch would feel they had made a good buy
Very nice watch, very smart, no need to change time for summer or winter time, or if You are going abroad. Highly recommended. Very fast dispatch and delivery. Get one for Yourself 😉
Bought as a dress watch very light and comfortable. I was concerned about link removal, however, there is a tool provided and extremely simple, I removed 4 links in seconds. The only decision is which side to take from. Easy to read dial lots read about yet but very happy with the product.
Previous reviews say all about this fabulous watch.
I only must say that I live in the middle of Portugal /Lisbon – south-west of Europe – and I don’t have any problem in synchronizing the Casio.

Could not ask for more as a watch with perfect time keeping and zero maintenance. However the ‘extras’ do not lend themselves to a traveler I.e. alarms are not loud enough and activate for only a short period and there is no snooze!
Excellent watch, strap link removal unbelievably simple. Perfect timekeeping via radio reception. Looks excellent quality and watch face very easy to read. Dual display very useful
Only slightly let down by instructions that don’t quite tell you what to do as you travel from country to country.
This is not a Rolex, it feels light, plasticy, for the price, this is the best you could get, solar-powered, radio controlled time keeping. This is all watch should be made for, keep accurate time down to the second.
Great watch. Very lightweight. Bracelet is easy to adjust with the supplied tool. As soon as I opened the box, the hands flew round to the correct time, thanks to being radio controlled. Looks easy to set to a different time zone, should this be needed. Lots of extra functions included.
Excellent watch. Opened the tin and the hands started to set themselves immediately. The easiest strap to adjust – it took seconds to re size. Very clear dial and solar powered to boot!
Fantastic watch by Casio. Ticks all the boxes. The only point worth a possible comment is that the screen illumination is an amber led set at the 6 o’clock position which shines across the flat surface of the watch face. It does the job but looks like a bit of an afterthought. A proper backlight behind the screen would be more refined and in keeping with Casio’s reputation. I am thinking of something akin to Timex’s Indiglo function, which is beautiful to see in operation.
Very good quality with a low price tag. It has a great feel and finish to it and the package includes a very smart Tool to adjust the strap
I chose this particular watch because I liked the look of it, and also because i wanted a watch where i did not have to worry about the battery running out. As usual it arrived the day before i was expecting it, and as soon as i took it out of the tin, i knew that i had made the right choice. It was slightly too big for my wrist, but no problem, the tool that came with it to remove excess links, was simplicity in itself. And after a quick look at the manual i had it up and running within fifteen minutes of removing it from the tin. I would recommend this item to anybody who likes the feel of a real watch on their wrist. Excellent.
Good watch, doe’s what it says, but the face is not BLUE as shown, its a sort of grey, very disappointed as i ordered this for the face colour..
It is a very smart watch having many sensible functions and has extras like 5 Alarms not 1 like all my previous watches. Instructions are very easy to understand so I only have to become used to the watch’s buttons. My last Casio was large but this is extra large, but the strap can easily be adjusted and like others, I find the watch quite light. I have still a lot to learn but once I have completed this task, I expect it to be even more useful to me e g. I like running and the stop watch should be very useful in that respect. Lastly it is quite interesting and could be very useful to have all those Countries Times in the instruction bookle
Can’t be faulted! Even has a tool to remove links enclosed in the box (well tin actually – that’s what the ‘pack is supplied in). Just works and sets itself up as soon as you unpack it. Timekeeping is spot on (always). Can be read easily in the dark, and never needs to be opened, as it is solar-powered. It part shuts off at night to save power, but the main watch dial keeps going. I haven’t tested it in water, but I wouldn’t be doing that anyway, as, though I do swim, I wouldn’t take a watch swimming with me. It arrived by courier on time.
If you need a watch for life – buy this!
I contemplated the black strap version of this WVA-M640 watch as I like silicon and leather strap watches most. However, this model came up at a great price and so I thought the more formal appearance would be worth going for. With this watch being so light it doesn’t snag on my wrist hairs like heavier bracelet watches can.
The reviews were good and most people have said how light it is and so I can only confirm that is indeed correct.
Having been a big G-Shock collector before I knew about the Waveceptor and Tough Solar features and got this watch set up in just a couple of minutes.
Why can’t all Casio bracelet watches have the excellent link removal design that this watch has. I had mine adjusted to size within two minutes of opening the box. A great feature.
The watch looks much more classy than the Amazon picture shows. I always Google a watch model to look at the images as you get a nice selection to look at. The digital display is small but useful and it does not detract from the classy look of the watch face. The titanium finish is excellent as well as very light and tough!
The second hand hits the indices perfectly.
This is a nice looking sophisticated watch offering nearly every feature needed from a watch. Reliability, accuracy and service free means this should last for a very long time.
A definite 10/10 watch.
This is an amazing watch.works straight out of the tin; easiest strap adjustment ever.Battery charging goes from med to high in no time at all . I’ve bought several casio watches as gifts but this one I’m keeping.would have given it 10 stars if possible.Believe me it’s that good.
The user interface is not the easiest, but with 100s of functions and only 3 buttons, that’s no real surprise. Keep the manual, because you’re likely to need it if you cross time zones! It’s only because the user interface is hard work this gets less than 5 stars. In terms of build quality, timekeeping, functions, feel, look and value, it’s all there.
Does what it says on the box – looks good and easy to use – bracelet links very easy to remove with clever little tool included – easily set up for home city – highly recommended – well done Casio and a great deal from Amazo
This is my third WaveCeptor Casio. They are so good my last one was stolen. This is the best yet as it’s solar powered, and the titanium construction makes it super light. In addition thenigth back light is an LED aat the 6 o, clock postion and illuminates thebwhole of the clock face. On mu 9ervios watches only the digital display illuminated snd, as I had that set for the date wasn’t bof any help so I had to rely on then fluorescent glow from the the hour and minute hands.
The new one is much better. It doesn’t illimuante the digital display, btu a tnight all you want to know is the time.
A fantastic watch , very pleased.
Bought this for my husband as a birthday present. He is delighted with it. Strap very easily adjusted, very lightweight , easy to read and keeps time…which is a good thing in a watch!
Speedy delivery as well.
This is my second Casio Wave Ceptor as I managed to break the wriststrap connecting to the casing on my old one. It has been fixed with an araldite bridge, so I now have 2 watches that stay fully charged and keep perfect time.
The new one has one less button and a simplified operating system – as gadgets go, this has so much functionality that if Samsung or Apple think a tablet on a strap makes any sense, they are mad.
I like it a lot, even though the back of the watch is plastic. I opened the tin (yes it comes in its own tin!) and the watch immediately started to set itself to the correct time!! I had a good read through the comprehensive manual – shame the printing is so small – and set the set the daylight saving to auto, so hopefully no need to make any further adjustments.
The solar charging is a plus – no more batteries to change!
It looks good, feels good and keeps good time. Well recommended!
For quite some time I had been considering the purchase of a radio controlled watch. Having read all the reviews, I decided that this was the model for me and I was certainly not disappointed. Delivery was prompt and the watch ticked all the boxes.
I did experience a bit of a problem at first in that the beeper was not functioning but securing a replacement form Amazon was simple, straightforward and quick. The replacement works perfectly.
Overall, I’m extremely satisfied
An excellent watch,comfortable to wear, and it’s many features put it in the same league as much more expensive makes.
It is very easy to adjust the wrist band with the tool supplied with the watch.
Clean lines and easily read dial and display. Has the function I was looking for (world time). Always kept accurate by the radio-controlled timekeeping feature.
Very please with this model. it replaces an earlier version which was showing signs of problems and one cannot find anyone to repair it.This version is much lighter, does not need a battery and keeps very good time. It arrived with the battery set as mid although it very quickly changed to Hi as soon as it was in the light.
I have not yet tried any of the special functions but the instruction book seems easy to follow
Only one word FANTASTIC;
My Breitling goes to my son,the Casio watch I bought is not only much lighter,but also more accurate and much more fun to ware.
Time always correct with radio timer, battery always charged with solar power, easy to read day and date on digital display, easily adjustable strap, many other features plus good looking man,s watch with a blue face and easy to read silver hands. If only Casio had more cache.
This watch is even better than I expected. It got style, it’s lightweight and overall just amazing. I can recommend this for anyone looking for a watch in this prize range.
Best watch I ever had and great value for money as well. Light and nice to touch titanium bracelet. No need to worry about n if time n is b right, it cannot be either with radio control, adjusts automatically.
It looks great. Initial setup is a doddle, adjusting the chains of the wristband the easiest I have come across.
Even the backlight, which normally is not the strongest Casio feature is okay. But what makes it amazing is the weight. You do not even notice you are wearing it, and you do not have to take it off at the metal detectors at the airport.
Great watch
I have an attractive Skagen watch for posh wear but wanted a radio controlled, solar powered, water resistant to 100 m. watch for general daily and beach use. Attracted by the reviews for this item, I can only reiterate what they say. It is much lighter than you would think (just 64 grams after very easily removing 4 links from the strap and only 5 grams more than the Skagen). The settings are easy to follow and the digital display plenty large enough. It came with a mid charge showing and 3 hours in the sun a couple of days after receiving it seems to have kept it at high level, even first thing in the morning. The only annoying thing is that, when prompted by Amazon to write a review I see that it is 5 cheaper than it was when I bought it last week! Still, no complaints as it is really good value.
As soon as I opened the tin inside the packaging it suddenly came to life, with the hands moving to the exact time and date.
The strap needed alteration, but that was made unbelievably easy and simple and quick with the little tool that was supplied. I have never known a strap to be so easy to alter.
The grey colour of the resin portion of the case is virtually invisible when being worn, so don’t let it put you off buying.
I am extremely pleased with my purchase and can recommend wholeheartedly.
does all that I want. Looks great and feels great. Plenty of scope to use more functions. Instructions could be easier to follow, particularly on Christmas day following “refreshment”
