Casio AQS800W Series | Analog Digital Watch | 100M WR | Solar Powered | 1/100 SEC Stop Watch | 6-Language Day of The Week Indicator | Countdown Timer | LED Light | Multi Alarm

bought this for a vacation, didn't want to take my expensive watch draw unwanted attention... as I started to unpack the features, and for the price they are impressive, it also looks good to boot... I will be traveling many time zones away and can toggle between home time and where I'm staying easy - makes sending texts/photos more considerate...the Analog dial is easy to read at a glance, and yes the digital screen is small but is easy to read the data, for the money this is a great watch, Casio is one of the best at this price point, if need be - lost or destroyed - would buy again.

Great watch so far solar recharging works great easy to see and read and works great for what I want pretty much being able to see the time and date really don't use any of the other functions on the watch very comfortable band seems very sturdy and well made I have had a number of these style watches over the past several years and really enjoy them but they last about a year or year and a half and either the strap breaks or the battery runs out This Casio so far seems much sturdier than the cheaper watches I have owned and the solar powered battery will allow it to last several years so for me its just what I wanted a simple watch that is easy to read, looks good and should last me for 10 years or more just what I wanted and at a very reasonable price for what you get in the watch will update after I've had it a few years to see how it actually holds up but so far seems excellent and a great buy

The watch is light. Is has a perfect diameter that keeps the watch in one spot regardless of hand movement. If you select NYC for example, it shows the time one hour forward. I believe it's configured for winter time. You would need manually set up the current time. It's not a big deal. The light is for a small window only. Get used to it. I wish the watch has a hand for seconds. When I rinse my mouth wash for one minute interval' this watch is not good for tracking 60 seconds interval. I would need to put my reading glasses to see the number of seconds in the small window. That is not user friendly for me at least. Overall, the watch is nice. I would buy it again... Peace...

I have had a lot of cheap watches like this over the years. I have much nicer and more expensive dress watches I wear for work. But for watches like this - which get worn mainly on the weekends, for travel and when working in the garden and so forth - I am a reasonably active guy and can be hard on them. I've found that the Casio watches generally hold up better than some of the others I've had, so I decided to get another one when the old one I had finally started acting wonky.Here's what I like:The orange/black contrast makes the analog portion of the watch very easy to read. Unlike a lot of cheap digital watches, this one is very nicely sized. It is neither too big and bulky, nor too small. It is relatively thin for a digital watch, more like the thickness of a higher-end dress watch. A lot of cheap watches like this are really ugly. This is not one of them. It is actually good enough looking that I can wear it to work or take it as my only watch when traveling. I wouldn't call it a dress watch, but it gets by in a way a lot of digital watches can't.There is no traditional stem to set the analog face, you do everything with the buttons. The stem on a watch is fragile part - I have had them break - so a design that doesn't have one means there is one less thing that can break. It has a solar charging system - meaning it draws energy from the sun and so it should never need a new battery during its expected lifetime (10-12 years). It is light weight and reasonably comfortable to wear, despite the plastic band. I like that there are air holes on each side to help keep the band from getting hot and sweaty in warm days. It is waterproof and has a way to quickly flip back and forth for daylight savings time (it has to be done manually, but is just a setting - you don't have to actually reset the time).Here is what I don't like:Like other reviewers - I REALLY don't like the fact that the day/date don't appear together in the LCD. You have to push a button to see the day of the week. The button you use cycles through local time, date, day. The seconds appear constantly this whole time, because, of course, I need to know the seconds at all times. You can tell the design engineers made that decision, not normal people. Then there is this thing to the right of the window like a progress bar that serves absolutely no useful purpose, other than to tell you the watch is still running. I assumed it would show the battery level of the solar battery when I bought it. But it doesn't - it just counts off 5 seconds over and over and over. I leave the little display on date, because I usually know the day of the week at least. But this is such an obvious design failure - it frankly surprises me that Casio would allow the watch into production without a day/date mode for the LCD.The hands have those glow in the dark things on them, but the light doesn't light up the analog portion of the watch. In a dark theater you have to hit the light, then cycle through that same day, date, & time button to get the time. The light is the older kind like you remember from years ago, not the kind that lights up the whole display itself. That is probably a trade-off due to the solar battery.You will need to keep the manual. Fiddling with the world time and getting it to swap the world time for the local time is not exactly intuitive. Setting the watch is not hard for somebody with basic technical skills, but the display is very small. You pay for the fact the watch looks good with a digital display that is pretty tiny.Overall - I'm satisfied. This is the nicest looking cheap watch I've ever owned. There are some trade-offs with looking good, but I can live with those. Assuming it holds up - it is a very good value. The only thing about this watch that really annoys me is the unforced error of not showing day/date together.

Solar, mineral crystal, excellent color (mine is green) - almost the perfect watch. Big but light and comfortable. Good for old person eyes, easy to read. The digital window is hard for me to read but "its there". Its not officially a G-Shock but its touch, Solar and waterproof so I am just as happy and the price...$$ is right.

The only thing I would change is increase the size to 45mm. It's small. For the price it can't be beat. I paid only $40 and feel it's worth every penny and more. I love the orange and black combo. Gives the watch a more sporty feel than the black with white numbers. Extremely light and comfortable. I challenge anyone to find a better made watch with Solar at this price point.
