User Reviews about Casio Men's AW80V-5BV World Time DataBank 10-Year-Battery Watch
Amazing product...great price. It has most functions needed. Only con is configuring the watch takes quite a while since you need to memorize a lot of things or keep the manual handy! If you lose the manual, you are done unless you have memorized it...which is actually sad. At least the analog part of adjustment should've been made possible with a screw or whatever instead of buttons for 'everything'. -- great product for a great price
Pros:
* Appearance - the best-looking (to my tastes) combination analog and digital watch I've seen. Sized well for a small arm; case is a little thick but not too wide. Easy to read in light (see Cons about the night light).
* Buttons - easy to access, and they don't protrude from the case like Timex's do. There's not even a crown.
* Comfort - Lightweight, wears very well.
* Functions - Alarm is loud and easy to hear. Two alarms are a plus, but the screwy "snooze alarm" is definitely a con. It also has all those other functions, but I only use the timer.
* Accuracy - spot on after 48 hours, rated to +/- 30 seconds a month.
Cons:
* Setting the hands - they only go forward, not back. If it's set ahead, like mine was when I got it, you have to hold down two buttons simultaneous then watch the hands spin around until you stop them, then goose them to the right setting.
* Night light - OK if the hands are illuminated, but useless otherwise. Only illuminates sides of face.
* Velcro strap - I never have had good luck with them, they always fray or stain, so I replaced it with a water-resistant leather strap that looks great on it.
* Snooze alarm - This is just goofy. If you set it, the fool thing sounds every five minutes until you deactivate it.
* Alarm programming - Timex is way ahead of Casio on this. My old Timex digital had three alarms with weekday/weekend/daily/off options. Casio's are time only.
-- Decent watch, but . . .
