Casio AW-80-1AV Men's Silver Watch, 40mm

I really like this watch. It's accurate and has held well up so far. My only two quibbles are that the watch face can get minorly scratched up (though I'm still able to see what I need to through them), and I'm kind of annoyed that the light up feature is a hard 3 seconds (there's no holding of the button to keep it illuminated or anything) so sometimes at night when my vision is a bit blurrier I end up repeatedly pressing the light button until I'm able to focus and read the time. Thankfully if you press it a few times the hands do glow so I can use that to help me see between presses, but it's really hard to read the digital date or time box using the light feature.

I bought this watch about 4 weeks ago, right when my college semester started. Even with my droid phone, I needed something with the date and time clearly displayed, for situations that may call for a paper to be dated and printed at 1:55 for a 2:00 class. I seem to find myself in this situation often to be honest. So sue me.

I've long been a fan of casio watches - they're the prefect mix of affordability, quality and durability. I bought this watch to replace my prior casio which after about 7 years had a scratched up crystal and two of the buttons were becoming too difficult to push (one of which was the light).

I have worn Timex watches exclusively for the last 20 years. I like the simplicity and durability of them, however, the elastic metal band on my last one failed where it attaches to the watch case in such a way that it had two pointy metal peaks that made it unwearable. I was going to simply replace the band, but it was cheaper to buy a new watch. I looked for something equivalent to what I had but styles have changed and I couldn't find something appealing that matched my pricepoint. Until I found this Casio watch. I debated over the newer plastic-silicone bands, but worried about durability. I am an electrician, and get into some rough environments at work, dirt, dust, construction debris and such. Getting sweaty and dirty wearing a watch can make them smell bad over time(like the stretchy metal band on my old Timex). This Casio has a nice metal band, it seems very durable as well as being easy to close and comfortable to wear. The face and body of the watch is low profile enough to not get in the way at work or wearing work gloves. It is attractive enough to wear as an everyday watch too.

Tremendous value! Quality is very good for such an inexpensive watch. Seems like the durability is going to be quite nice. It does have some lume on the hands, but not all of the indices. The lume is adequate and I’m happy with the lume. The real weak point of this watch is the LED backlight. The LED black light is very minimal. It does not light up the LED display at all. It barely works for the analog hands. The Watch, how ever is very comfortable on the wrist, I forgot I had it on when I went to bed and when I Woke up in the morning I was surprised to see it on my wrist! This would make a great gift or a stocking stuffer. I splashed my watch while I was washing my hands and the water resistance seems to be adequate. I highly recommend this Watch for the value. I love the world time function. It’s a little bit difficult to synchronize the analog hands with the digital time. I was eventually able to do it, but it takes a while. Overall, I would definitely purchase this watch again.
