CasioMen's WV58A-1AVCR Waveceptor Black Resin Band Digital Watch

Wow, atomic time keeping at just over $20 ... you can't go wrong with this watch. Arrived on-time, in great shape, and OEM fresh. Out of the box, I was able to sync it with the Atomic time signal out of Colorado Springs, the whole process took about 4 minutes, with an L3 level signal (I'm within 500 miles of that broadcast antenna, so I can easily sync). Watch size is good, feels good on the wrist, and has all the functionality you need for a good day-to-day wear experience. Personally, I don't buy into the you need to put it in the window at night ... it's receiving a radio signal, I keep it in one of my watch cases and it sync every night, without fail. Highly recommended, especially at this price point.

I am extremely tough on watches. Why bother wearing them if I'm just going to beat them up? I need to know the time frequently during the day as I do my work, so I use less expensive watches. But, a cheap watch that does not do what is expected of it is worthless. Casio has made good, quality digital watches for years, and has kept my needs met. This model is excellent for that. It tells me the time in easy to read numerals. The date and year is easily visible, and the day of the week is very clear. I need that a lot, since I work in the field and never know what day of the week it might be. That sure messes with my schedule and makes people mad when I miss appointments. I have a job out of state for one month out of the year and that requires me to be in another time zone. This watch allows me to stay set to that different time zone at the push of a button. When in that mode, I do not get the day or date, but it displays my time 'back home' and the name of the time zone, so that works well for me. There is a multi-function countdown timer, and a multiple feature stop watch function, so there are a lot of 'toys' on this relatively simple watch. You want simple? Ignore them. You want features? Use them. Your option. If you are not good at remembering when to take your wife to lunch... you could be in trouble. But this watch has an alarm that you can set to remind you so that you can still be the hero that she married many years ago. Easy to read, inexpensive enough that you don't have to sell the Crown Jewels to buy a new one. Rugged enough it will last several years on my... MY wrist. And, to top it off, every night it resets itself to the National Time Service. Cannot beat that with a stick, folks.

Overall, decent watch. Syncs time via cell towers / radio frequency overnight around midnight or so.Has a few various digital "functions." Most of which I'll probably rarely/never use.I prefer my old Timex Ironman Triathlon watch, but they apparently don't make the particular model with a quality metal wristband anymore. Pity.The new Casio watch has an amber backlight, as opposed to the more pleasing Indiglo of the Timex, and it seems like the "alarm" speaker is considerably quieter [not necessarily a good thing], and it only has a single programmable "alarm," whereas the Timex allowed 2-3 alarms to be set as well as weekdays vs every day. So, the Casio's features seem slightly limited by comparisonBut, overall, for the reasonable price, it's a perfectly adequate / serviceable watch, and I like the chrome face styling and the overall look, as well as the proper metal watch band [I just hope the attachment pin holes are sturdy like the Timex, not that I plan to abuse it or anything].
