AW80 Series | Men’s Analog-Digital Watch | 50M Water Resistance | Multi Alarms | 100 SEC Stopwatch | Countdown Timer | World Map for World Time | LED Light | LC Display | 10 Year Battery

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. The reviews I read prior to purchase were pretty much accurate, the manual is a bit daunting, but it is in several languages so it only requires reading part of it. I had a bit of a challenge getting it set, but eventually I got it right. The light feature flat out is not as good as the Indiglo feature of the Timex watches, but I don't rely on that as much as I thought I would. The glow in the dark feature this watch has is also rather weak, it does work, but has no duration. The telememo feature it has is something I didn't realize it has, but I can't see how it will benefit me. I simply needed a watch that is accurate, easy to read, easy to wear, comfortable, and durable. This watch checks those boxes for me. Overall, this is a budget friendly watch that is well made and easy to wear. For me, the style and durability made it the right choice.

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). This watch was very easy to program, and had all the features I wanted. The digital numbers are easy to read, multiple alarms, world times for different cities are a nice feature (we have friends in Europe, and it's always nice to know the time over there prior to calling). As other reviewers have noted, you cannot see the digital output when you use the light in the dark...you can see the digital numbers on my timex explorer, but you still can't do anything with the digital programming while you're holding down the light button on the timex...so I really don't see this as a problem with the casio. All I ever want to do at night it simply check the time, and the light allows you to read the hands perfectly. One note on the "notes/memo" function on this watch...I think it's a vestige from the days before cell phones and PDAs. I can't imagine taking the time to program in someone's phone number or a note about something...much easier to do that on my Blackberry. Still, it's there if anyone wants to use it. As I mentioned earlier in this review, I have a timex expedition which is a digital/analog watch that I never use. If you're curious why I don't use it, it's because the thing is heavy and the ticking sound is too loud and keeps me from wearing the watch at night. I actually use the watch alarm as my daily alarm - it's loud enough to wake me up while not disturbing my wife. However, with the timex, neither of us can get to sleep with that loud, annoying, ticking sound. The casio is silent, and it's light - almost like not wearing a watch at all. Both of these are huge pluses in my opinion. Finally, I think this is a nice looking watch. Not gaudy - one I can wear to work or as a casual watch.

I purchased this with disappointing intimal emotions. Ugg this is not a very good digital watch.... Well NO it's actually a decent small analog watch that has a digital window slip that's visible 70% or so of the time (The watch hands obscure the window cut out from 4-8). First complication I ran into, the analog function is set manually via advancing the hands independently of the digital clock settings by the buttons. With a ten year battery life & year programing out to 2099 that leaves changes for daylight savings & time zones something I will likely refresh myself with you tube vid "how to's" a couple times a year. As its a budget model there is no analog second hand further reducing its "at a glance" functionality. Overall, the digital window can be utilized for the day/date/second readout as well as a timer & stopwatch (and a secret power of up to thirty phone # length with alpha ID). The ugly aspect of these features however is the analog hands obscure these in actual use every hour as the minute hand sweeps through and more so with the hour hand in the 4-8 range. I can see only one occasion where the Analog - Digital time display could be of common daily use. If you had a local time and say a office time in different time zones. Otherwise the readout is more a novelty on a budget analog watch than a useful feature. Looking back on the review it would seem I do not like this clock, truth is yes in the low end series I would suggest the features of the digital display watches are better doing digital things. I do like the brown colour and size of this piece however. While it wears as a flyweight I will say the strap is another victim of cost, they attempted to upscale the appearance and its more of a costume jewelry effect. Functional but will wear rapidly so long before the brilliant 10 year battery life a fresh strap will be needed. Sorry not Sorry for the under $30 I lashed out for this, my own fault not what I deem deficiencies of the watch. Still a Casio fan, this model simply isn't as good as others they produce for the features I desire.

Koop de uitvoering met zwarte wijzerplaat. Deze spiegelt en glimt te veel. Gevolg: slecht te zien. Overdag en s'nachts.

Volevo dare 4 stelle, ... poi a pensarci, al di là del fatto che la luce notturna non illumina le cifre digitali e che ha tante funzioni che quasi sicuramente non userò mai, non trovo nulla che non vada, è leggero e comodo (il cinturino mi è arrivato di misura, per cui non saprei dire delle difficoltà di cui ho letto su come accorciarlo).... rapporto qualità prezzo direi quindi ottimo... ce l'ho comunque da meno di un mese, quindi il giudizio è per quello che ho sperimentato sin qui. Attenzione: il quadrante non è azzurrino come sembra in foto ma argento.... Ciao

Watch is in good quality , well packed by the size is very small as shown in pictures But the quality of item filled my heart

Es steht außer Frage, dass ein jede/r eine andere Auffassung von Funktionalität einer Uhr und Geschmack hat. Ich kaufe mir nicht permanent Uhren, aber es war notwendig, mir eine neue zuzulegen. Mit CASIO hatte ich bislang gute Erfahrungen - sowohl von der Langlebigkeit als auch von Belastbarkeit und Design. Die AV80-Serie fiel mir dadurch auf, dass sie zunächst meinen Bedürfnissen "analog-digital" entgegen kam. Vom Design gefällt mir auch die Integration der Digital-Anzeige auf dem Analog-Zifferblatt. Da stört nichts, da man weiß, dass zwischen Ziffer 4 und 8 5-6-7 sein müssen...:-) Die analoge Anzeige-Genauigkeit geht dabei nicht verloren, vor allem, da außen herum eine Minuten-Ringskala liegt. Kurioserweise fiel mir erst beim D'raufschauen auf, dass die analoge Zeit-Anzeige keinen (!) Sekunden-Zeiger verwendet...erscheint mir sogar entspannter. Die Ziffern, das Ziffer-Blatt und das Gehäuse bilden eine wunderbare Einheit in Kupfer-, Champagner- und Braun-Tönen - wirkt fast retro-20/30-er-Jahre. Zudem sehr gut ablesbar. Dazu passt das kombinierte Armband aus Textil und Leder in seinen Farben einschließlich seiner raffinierten Klett-Schlaufe. Das digitale Feld ist zunächst sehr gut ablesbar. Das halte ich für wichtig. In seinen Funktionen wird man sehr unterschiedlicher Auffassung sein, was man so braucht oder nicht: Man findet den Zeit- einschl. Sekunden-Modus zuzgl. zu- oder abschaltbaren Sommer-/Winter-Zeit-Modus (sehr gut). Es folgt die sehr übersichtliche Tages- und Datums-Anzeige. Der Datenbank-Modus ist möglicherweise interessant. Der Weltzeit-Modus ist mir wichtig, da ich bei Auslands-Aufenthalten bzw. bei Auslands-Korrespondenz die aktuelle Zeit sofort abrufen kann, ohne im Analog- bzw. Digital-Bereich "spielen" zu müssen, die 29 Zeitzonen sind völlig ausreichend. Die Idee der drei (!) Alarm-Modi + Stunden-Signal finde ich sehr originell und sicher ggf. brauchbar. Der Count-Down-Timer ist mir wichtig. Die Stopp-Uhr gehört wohl grundsätzlich dazu. Die Fülle der Funktionen will auch bedient werden. Mit etwas Übung gelingt das aber ganz gut. Die Lieferung, die ich erhalten habe, enthält bislang nur eine Anleitung in englischer, italienischer und französischer Sprache. Es ist jedoch hilfreich, online bei CASIO eine Bedienungs-Anleitung in deutsch - System qw2747 - herunterzuladen. Noch zu bemerken ist das Leichtgewicht der Uhr - eben Resin - aber dennoch offensichtlich robust. Auch das 'mal gewölbte Uhr-Glas erscheint mir als nennenswert. WR 50M - das verträgt schon 'nen Spritzer...- sicher aber keine Taucher-Uhr :-)... Die Beleuchtung auf Tastendruck ist kurz und ausreichend, um die Analog-Anzeige im Dunkeln zu erfassen. Alles in allem bin ich höchst angetan von dem Produkt, dem Kauf einschl. seiner Abwicklung über den Anbieter - alles andere wird eben die "Zeit" zeigen - immerhin wird auch mit bis zu 10 Jahren Laufzeit der Batterie geworben... Muss aber sagen, das traue ich CASIO zu. Letztendlich der Preis - TOP - ohne weiteren Kommentar... Eine aus meiner Sicht empfehlenswerte Armband-Uhr aus dem Hause CASIO !

Great watch very light weight easy to set up Perfect time keeping and I love the design.
