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

All things considered, I highly praise and recommend this watch. There are two basic reasons to buy a watch. Some people are looking for jewelry. If vanity is your thing, this isn't your watch. If you want a watch that tells you what time it is, then this and the other wavecepter/atomic watches ought to be on your short list. Many high end jewelry watches use lots of gears, springs and other mechanical parts to try and not be too bad at keeping time. But even cheap electronic watches, often have more accurate time keeping with their modern electronic circuitry. But these wavecepter/atomic watches, goes way beyond the normal electronic circuits. They also has a miniature radio receiver built-in so that they re-calibrates itself every day to the NIST (U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology) time standard. In terms of accurately reporting the time, these units are far superior to fancy name brand jewelry watches costing thousands of times more. This particular model is one of the less expensive models, but it still has all the wavecepter/atomic accuracy. It is nice looking, but not jewelry. It has no gold or diamonds, etc. This watch is about keeping time. (If you want a bit more "bling", there are some fancier models.) I am a large person, with big wrists. My prior wavecepter would just fit my wrist. This unit has a longer band and has adjustment holes to spare. As advertised, it has lots of extra functions. In my opinion, one of the issues with digital watches is figuring out how to properly push the right button combination to access those extra functions. I once had a watch that had a rotating dial around the face. It was the only one that I have ever seen that well addressed this part of the human interface. The dial and body are slightly large compared to some watches, but still well within the normal range for a man's watch. I think the antenna and other radio-receiver prevent Casio from making this ultra small. And while Casio does make ladies versions, my wife finds them large, even though she is envious of the time keeping ability. And like most LCD devices, one could wish for better contrast. Still, the contrast seems better on this, then on the instrumentation on my new Ford. And many tens of thousands cheaper. The unit isn't perfect, but it is a very good watch, particularly at this price point. And did I mention that it keeps very accurate time?….

Great everyday watch. Durable. Accurate and easy to use. Display size is great. Easy to read. Good brightness.

This is my third (I believe? maybe fourth) of these watches over a many year span. One was great and eventually I scuffed up the face so much that I figured I'd get another one because they're inexpensive enough to not bother trying to fix or replace just a piece. One broke off the plastic bit that holds one side of the band on, which - even in the metal-looking ones - is still plastic (just a grayish silver colored plastic). This latest one I assume the battery is starting to die in because the LED backlight only flickers on for a split second if I push the button and won't come on again for some time. But all of them worked great for years before developing issues, and considering the price point, I honestly can't complain. I have looked at much more expensive watches and none of them have as nice, clean, and simple of features that still include what I want in a watch. I want digital, something that shows the date, and the day of the week. This has all of that, without all of the other nonsense cluttering up the face and making everything else smaller to make room for it. I do not dive, so I don't need depth meters or second dials or any of that. These watches have been perfect for me. I'm female (but tall - I have never been "petite"), and this does not look silly or bulky on my arm, yet I think it would also look fine on a man. I generally replace the watch bands with something more comfortable, but the default one isn't terrible. That leads me to one of three minor drawbacks to this watch, none of which are big enough problems for me to not continue buying them as long as they make them and I keep going through them. 1: The watch band is kind of a strange size, and the pins are very tight. My previous replacement band had an elastic loop on a velcro band (the watch 'pins' to the elastic loop) and was listed as 20mm and did fit, so I ordered a 20mm silicone watch band for this new one, but the 20mm is definitely too big. I ended up using some sharp scissors and trimming down the very edges of the silicone where it meets the watch (I will not be foiled by a watch band!) and it works fine. The listed width in the description is an odd half-size and searching for it here on Amazon turns up far fewer results than I'd expect. It seems to be an unusual size overall. 2: As some other reviewers have said, it does struggle to get the atomic time sometimes. I don't force it - it figures it out every couple of days on its own and I never take it off, so obviously it's doing it sometime or another. However, if I push the button to manually do it, it will never work that way. 3: Again, as some others have said, the watch face scratches pretty easily. I have some doubts that it is "mineral" as listed - it feels like plastic. I have had some success polishing it on previous iterations in order to get out a particularly unsightly scratch or two, but usually when I scuff it, I am able to just scritch the mark off with a fingernail. Whether that is because I am just taking off paint from the wall onto my watch so am just removing the residue, or if I am somehow smoothing out the plastic of the watch face by scratching it smooth, I don't know. But it works, and no marks that are visible enough to interfere generally remain. Overall, this is definitely a great watch, especially for the price.

I’ve been really impressed with the Casio WV58A-1AVCR Waveceptor. If you’re looking for a watch that keeps spot-on time without constant adjustments, this is it! The atomic synchronization works perfectly, and the digital display is crisp and easy to read at a glance. The resin band is lightweight and comfortable, making it great for all-day wear. Setup took a little patience (as expected with atomic watches), and while the included instructions were helpful, the print was a bit small. Once configured, though, it’s smooth sailing—no fuss, just reliable performance. Overall, this watch delivers exactly what I wanted: accuracy, comfort, and simplicity. I’m very pleased with it and would absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants a dependable timepiece without breaking the bank!

Horloge is voor dagelijks gebruik, had het type met kunststof band besteld omdat deze een stuk goedkoper is, maar kreeg toch het type met stalen band, dus dat was een kado. Satelliet indicatie licht niet op, maar ik weet niet of dit normaal is. Horloge functioneert verder prima.

Non stop, Casio! Great value watch as worn by Liam Neeson in the movie Non Stop. Great back light, set by atomic clock overnight lots of time zones and countdown timers. 5* watch strap easy to remove links if needed

The Casio WV58A-1AV has easily met and exceeded my expectations. I obtained my first manual WWVB sync during the daytime without issue and auto sync during the night seems to be working well. With a computer and cellphone that are perfectly locked to UTC, I want a watch that is, too. This one delivers, and without the hassle of manually adjusting it once per day. The watch itself is a bit thinner and less chunky than the previous Casio watches that I've owned. The screen has good contrast and is easy to read even when lighting is suboptimal. (I'm always a bit apprehensive about LCD contrast on electronic displays but I have no concerns here.) The backlight is uniform across the face and far superior to any other watch (Casio or Timex) with a backlight that I've owned. The manual that comes with the watch is very small and hard to read. The PDF version available from the Casio website is laid out on a conventional letter-size sheet and is much more convenient. The best part is the cost. I've rated the value for money as five stars.
