Casio Men's WV58A-1AV

Second time buying this watch. The strap mysteriously broke (whilst in a suitcase and returning from a Caribbean holiday) on my first one ~ bought a replacement strap, and had it fitted, but the light was not functioning... so I bought a new watch and happily use them both. Great for use on the beach and whilst snorkelling and diving. Never a need to set the time when travelling the World. Brilliant product and value for money.

Best value digital watch. Really good.

Excellent time keeping

Didn't buy for the aesthetic as normally wear a mechanical watch, but great to have super accurate watch with easy switch dual time zones if travelling. Only gripe is the plastic straps these casios come with always prove brittle and break. Would be perfect if came with a durable rubber or fabric strap.

Excellent

It keeps very accurate time, great value. Easy to use: multiple time zones, automatic DST changes; incorporates background light, alarm and timer functions.

Works well thanks

these are excellent watches - recommended

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.

説明書が日本語では無く不安でしたが届いた時計は時刻合わせがしてあり安心しました。

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.

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?….

Buena calidad, muy elegante excelente producto
