Collection Men's Watch W-59

I brought this watch before going a trip to Asia, Having always relied on a phone for the time, i realised that with the amount of time keeping i would have to be doing a watch would deffinatley be neccessary. Here's a list of why i gave the watch 5 stars: Build quality: Fine, have no complaints, strap doesnt show any signgs of giving up (after 6 months). Screen is a little scratched but not an issue and only a little noticeable. Ease of use: Easy to set up with decent sized buttons (3) on the sides Waterproof?: Having been scuba diving down to 18m with this watch and swimming many times its safe to say its truly waterproof, however i haven't been past the 18m mark so couldn't tell you how close it gets to that, as ive heard these stated depths on watches are not always reliable. Battery?: Having had the phone for around 6 months its still going ( as one would hope ), i cant say much more about that. Apperance: Looks fine, decent size (fits my wrist with about 3 holes remaining and id say they are about average male size) Conclusion: perfect for someone looking for a cheap watch that isn't going to give up on you

A brilliant little watch, I bought this model instead of the even cheaper one as it was waterproof and I want to use it mountainbiking as my superduper gps computer's time function is too small to read while riding, anyway the strap wasn't really suitable as it was either too tight or too loose so I carefully sliced it off with a stanley knife and put a velcro strap on there, and now it fits snugly. is super light and has a stopwatch and everything, the only negative thing I can say is that the light is useless, unless that is you're happy just knowing what hour it is after dark as the feeble light doesn't reach as far as the minute or second digits, my friends laughed at me but they all have g-shocks to ride around with, but I have fully formed genitals and didn't care.. An update, having owned this watch for just over a year I just wanted to say again how brilliant it is, it's been mountainbiking in Britain in all weather's, with quite a bit of trail maintenence, digging cutting branches etc, road biking, sea kyaking and climbing in Mallorca, cycle touring and rough camping in France, used in work! and everywhere else, it's not skipped a beat it does have a couple of dings in the case, but no scratches on the face honestly I can't fault it, well the light really is crap, if it ever breaks I'm getting one again or maybe the gold plated version for a bit of bling on the trails.

Perfect watch in terms of overall usefulness, durability and ease of use. One of the most overlooked things is the incredibly low thickness. This allows you to literally forget about it and gives the ability to wear with any type of sleeve. Increased water resistance over the F91W and a slight protection curve outside the display makes it ideal for all but most extreme cases. The irony here is that whilst something like my much beloved 5610 G-Shock is more rugged, in practice the larger size makes it more likely to catch on things/stand out from the wrist more making it more susceptible to hits. I bought this watch as an interim whilst my 6 month old 5610 is being tested for a seal with Casio, after showing excessive internal condensation which progressed over a few weeks. I have had an F91W for about 5 years and I really loved it and still have it so can vouch for this, in my eyes improved design. I'm sure it would stand the test of time just as well. 4 stars are due to the strap being too short. Simply put I have to use the 2nd last hole and the strap keeper does not stay once set. This allows the watch to unfasten and fall off the wrist. Once I saw it fall right off onto the ground when I was locking my bike and I did not feel a thing until I heard it hit the ground! Second time it fell was the last I ever wore this watch... So after a week or two, it's gone! If only the belt would have been 3 holes longer it would be great - on this and in the F91W, as they are the same or very similar in length. Funny thing is, in all my time with the F91W, I wore it in the same way - 2nd last hole, but it never fell off. Not once. Which did surprise and eased my mind at the same time. The last thing, which is purely down to my taste, is that the digits for time are a bit more square than on the F91W or on the 5610. I prefer if they'd be more rectangular. On a good note, they are all round thicker than on F91W. So if you have wrists of about 18cm circumference or less this is a 5 star watch and don't mind the slightly square digits, it's perfect.

I was looking for a lightweight watch that would be comfortable to wear and I would barely notice it when I had it on, because I don't like having watches on for a long time. This Casio is perfect for me as it is nice to wear and looks 'hipster'. A big plus is that the watch is water resistant so you don't have to worry when you wash your hands or somebody pushes you into a pool or something. Due to the price I am more care free when I wear my watch, because if I brake it I can just by a new one. The watch is also very durable as well, which is great. If you are looking for a new watch and don't want to spend more than 10 pounds...look no further because this is the only reliable and really good watch you are going to find for 10 pounds. I recommend this watch to anybody who is active or just wants to add something their watch collection. I thought I would not be wearing this watch so often that I am because I have multiple watches from brands like Breitling, Skagen, etc. It has become my favorite watch. This is the best 10 pounds I have ever spent. The only minus is that I have heard that the strap might snap before the watch but I do stuff that puts the strap to its limits and nothing has happened yet. THE PERFECT WATCH.

Firstly you buy it for the look – a classic. Same as the F91 but this one is waterproof. And far less commonplace than the price would suggest. Lots of the big chunky metal ones about and I have received a few compliments about this watch having never gotten any about any other watch. Very retro Keeps time within a couple of seconds a month and the more you wear it the more accurate it is (that’s how quartz watches work) Waterproof – I wear it in the shower, swimming pool, the sea - everywhere. I have had no issues with it and I have used the stopwatch under water Not worried – whenever I have taken it off and then can’t find it, it doesn’t worry me. The watch only cost £10 The figures on the watch make it very easy to read. Stopwatch – It only goes to an hour which is the only downside I can think of. Overall one of the best purchases I have ever made – real value for money. I have had it nearly 2 years

Because of the hazardous conditions that I work in, I often end up breaking/damaging my watches, so I decided on going for a cheap digital watch with the expectation that if it would get past 3 months of wear, it had done well. However, this Casio W-59-1VX has succeeded all my expectations. Firstly, it cost less than a tenner, secondly it is really easy to use and the instructions are plain and straight forward, thirdly it is comfortable and small so it stays (mainly) out of harms way, and fourthly it hasn't taken any damage yet. Some other reviewers noted that it was decent under water, I haven't tried this out yet but in the event that it does stop working, I won't hesitate buying this same watch again. Overall, great value for money.

I've seen people wearing this and similar watches for years, and I've always thought they looked a bit boring; But less is more and simplicity is beautiful as they say - something you learn with age I think. The watch is comfortable to wear, it doesn't catch on things due to it's flat and simple design and its just so easy to live with and use. The only slight downside is the light - which lights up the hour number just fine but not the minutes so much, it's perfectly acceptable though. The 50m water resistance should mean it can be worn in the shower, bath and whilst swimming - but I've not really tested this as yet, I'm sure it will be fine though. I love this watch, it's good value for money, practical and its retro - it's probably the only digital watch I'll buy from now on.

watch is good, strap broke too soon
