CasioMen's Digital Quartz Watch with Stainless Steel Strap WV-59RD-1AEF

This watch is the best I've ever owned. I don't wear a watch as a status symbol, so the chunky, designer type things were never a temptation for me. I have a Seiko automatic that I also love, but this beauty is my everyday watch. I just think it looks amazing, so much better than the round versions - why have a circular watch with a digital display? It has clear, large digits, and it updates reliably every night to the exact second. I think it has pretty decent water resistance and all the usual alarm and timer functions, but I don't use them. I think it looks rather good, too.July 2023 update: still a pristine shiny face, no scratches. I didn't mention the strap adjustment you'll undoubtedly need to make.First off, to make it all easier, detach the strap from the body of the watch, so you have a flat stage to work on. Use a pin to push a spring bar out of its housing. Pull out 3 links. You'll need fine point tweezers or a small point screwdriver to edge them out from a small gap within the inside of the strap.. when you see it you'll know. Try to push outwards from the gap, and a flat link- head should start to appear from the strap. Then pliers to remove. You might be able to do this by hand. It'll be worth it. You'll get a fine two pronged bracket. Pull it out, wiggle and twist until the link escapes - again, you might feel like you're doing damage, but you're not. Removing a link and putting the strap back together is then intuitive. Replace the strap onto the body of the watch with skill, depressing the small bar till it fits back into the slot! Good luck, and enjoy!May 24 update: Still my favourite watch. Still pristine, still excellent time. Prior to buying this, I chopped and changed frequently, but almost a year on and I've worn it every day. I'd still absolutely recommend this wave ceptor. I just looked for a plastic strap version as a second, but it seems none available. Now a sizeable p+p charge too.

No more arguing about the time. You can state with confidence that your watch is time-checked every day and corrected if necessary by the atomic clock at Rugby (as well as the radio 4 time signal pips).

Love it, just a cool watch overall!

The negatives are as follows: the case/lugs are plastic, it's a pity it's not stainless steel at this price point. The stop watch only times up to one hour. There are many watches out there that have 24hr timers (both Casio and from competitors).The positives: it's radio controlled so accuracy guaranteed! The usual Casio extras such as alarm, hourly signal, an orange backlight and calendar which can be set as either DD/mm or mm/DD. Overall I'd recommend this watch, it looks smart enough to be worn for business, the stainless steel bracelet looks great and is quite comfortable, I have a slightly chubby wrist and I still had to remove quite a few links which is reassuring.

I have been using Casio Wave Ceptor watches for many years and have found them to be excellent.I have never needed to change a battery, wear one for rough work as an agricultural engineer, have broken some of them accidently due to the work I do and possibly not looking after them as I should.I clean them in a bowl of hot water with washing up liquid and a nail brush.I always have the correct time, even when I change time zones.I could not wish for more.Tony Morris.

Having had a similar model, this one appears to be the same, but as I have only just received the item, only time will tell.

Lovely watch with retro styling.. and radio signal accuracy..

Just does what you want it to do.
