Casio Men's W800H-1AV Classic Digital Sport Watch Review

Casio Men's W800H-1AV Classic Digital Sport Watch

(More customer reviews)
Just got this watch after ordering a few days ago. Strange thing is, you won't find any product information about it on Casio's US website. Let's get to it:
Pros:
1) Not as bulky as a G-Shock:
If you're like me and you want a fully-functioning digital watch without the enormous bulk of a G-Shock, then this watch may fit your bill (even the midsize G-Shocks are tad too large in my book). However, this watch isn't tiny either: The across-width, measured between the buttons on either side but not including buttons, is just a 1/16 inch shy 1.5 inches. The top-to-bottom height, measured between the outside of the top bezel above the "Casio" insignia to the outside of the lower bezel below the "WATER 100M RESIST" is 1 3/16 inches, and just about 1/2 inch thick.
2) Plenty of features:
Dual time, stop-watch with split times, displays the time during the stop-watch function, date setup that knows the day of the week (accounts for leap year too), large display, snooze alarm (!), etc.
3) Great price:
For the value alone I give it the 5-star rating
Cons:
1) Bezel around the crystal is flush with the surface of the crystal - this could lead to scratches if you're not careful
2) Light is not the back lighting "Illuminator" of some other Casio watches - it's green glow that lights from the bottom-left of the display - kinda meh but it does stay on for a few seconds after depressing.
3) Could use a count-down timer.
4) The watch does not allow you keep the light on by keeping the light button depressed. Still turns off after about 1.5 seconds. Can be quite irritating when you're trying to read the watch after waking up all blurry-eyed but I'm sure it's part of keeping that 10 year battery claim.
In closing, this watch isn't gonna win any beauty contests, but it's functions, simplicity, and discrete look are what sold me.
[UPDATE 2010.09.30 - added con number 4 but not removing a star. I'm still wearing the watch and I am still enjoying it]

I purchased this little Timex as basically a "thrasher watch" for my wife. The few watches that she owns are relatively expensive and would not hold up during our weekend activities. It does exactly what it is supposed to do, nothing more nothing less. This is an excellent low cost timepiece.

Sleek and svelte, the Timex T5B831 Impulse 1440 Sports digital watch is a stylish and affordable choice for timing your workout in the gym.

It offers a 24-hour chronograph, daily alarm, water resistance to 50 meters, and an all-day silver reflector display for easy reading.
The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer.

Timex Unisex T49655 Expedition Classic Analog Metal Tech Casual Watch Review

I like the fact of the Indigo glow and the face of the watch is very beautiful and versatile for casual or light dress-up. Draw backs.... the light gray leather band got dirty quickly (but I'm a cowgirl too), the # where the date is located on the face cld have been a bit bigger and I don't have problems w/ my eyes! The actual face of the watch was bigger than what I anticipated; first time I put it on I felt as tho I had on a man's watch. But I do like the blue look when I wasn't sure if I would. Almost forgot, I like the fact the bands of the watch are screwed on rather than w/ those springs....most likely will last much longer.

Casio Men's 93H-1AV Multifunction Sport Watch Review

I'm giving this baby 5 stars for doing so much, so well, for so little $$$. I really like the light button on the top (much easier to access while driving) compared to the li'l button on the side of most Casios. The digits light up without lighting up the whole watch (nice in a darkened theater). It is super simple to use and doesn't look like some kind of space kid's watch or Rambo-wannabe watch. I lost my first one, so I'm back to Amazon for number 2. I might even pick up a spare since products these days seem to change so rapidly (and not always for the better). The previous reviewer dissed this fine watch because it was not large enough. Man, I love this watch because it isn't too big. So many of the Mens sport watches these days seem to be a obnoxious cross between a hockey puck and a bar of soap with a wrist strap. It's a time piece. I don't need to call attention to myself with its ginormousness, nor do I want to be banging it on all manner of obstructions due to its bloated proportions. Bravo to Casio for getting this one right. Great watch for a great price!
