Casio Men's Watch W-96H-1AVES

Until I recently lost my one of these Casio watch (Guess it's a good thing I went for a cheap one), I greatly enjoyed it. It comes with a little manual that explains how to use the four buttons to navigate the various options which I found very helpful to understand and after going through it I didn't forget it or at least picked it back up quickly on the few occasions I actually used the different functions. The watch is made entirely from plastic and silicon which makes it very light and I found I quickly didn't feel it on my wrist which as someone who hates things jangling around while I'm doing things is very nice.As for the inscriptions on the surface. The "Illuminator" and "Water 50m resist" words may wear off slightly over a long time but all the other actually important things are wither engraved in or underneath the transparent screen plastic. The screen is reasonably big and easy to read in the sun and the little green light works well in the dark. I can't really say much for the water resistance as it's only cheap so I didn't trust it and tried not to get it wet anyway.Overall, a good, cheap, non garish watch for everyday use.p.s. I'm a guy with fairly slim wrists, this item is pointlessly gendered.

Bought this watch in 2014, wear it all the time, including swimming, tried a smart watch in 2024, sick of charging it, so gone back to my Casio. Had it 11 years and battery still going strong, although had to change the strap several times,which are readily available on Amazon. If time is more important than steps this is great cheap watch.

I bought this same watch many years ago from Amazon and just fancied a new one. I've always been impressed with casio's excellent value for money with watch's at this price.The casio W96h-1aves is light and comfortable on the wrist. One possible weakness with this watch is that the strap might break after a couple of years of constant use or the 10yr battery will outlast it. If this does happen it is no problem for me as the watch costs so little i'll just buy another one.The thing i like about this watch is that all the important stuff is all on one screen. At a quick glance you can see:Current time,Day of week,Date and year. I think the watch also has stopwatch and dual time. This watch also has a night light.Also the other thing i like about it is that it has that retro look about it.

Aside from its looks, and it is by no means an unattractive watch, this is a revolutionary piece of perfection. An example of how, in the 21st century it is possible to combine form, function, art and technical excellence into an affordable package, one in which the vendor is honest in their pricing. One wonders how the materials have been sourced from their birth, from the metal in the circuitry dug up from mines, plastic casings chemically changes from oil, and the iron ore smelted to form the back casing, and then combined in intricate ways, shipped, VAT added, Amazon cut taken, for the price of perhaps an hour or two of your own labour. It is accurate, waterproof, low maintenance with a long battery life, easy to read, has a light and various other functions like stopwatch or dual time. This watch holds two fingers to those Swiss watch marketing departments and is a statement that you have a watch you need.

I have bought over the years at least 3 of these from Amazon and a further 5 from Argos. A man once tried to sell me a knock of (fake/ counterfeit) version in Asia once.1) Very tough watch.2) I wear it 24/7 never off.3) In the shower.4) smashed against walls / tight spaces.5) Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.Eventually the strap or the face comes off after all the abuse I afford it. The price and quality keeps me coming back. It's also easy to read and tye back-light is top notch. I threw away two as it was cheaper to replace than to get a replacement strap!. 10 year battery!Why are you still reading? Buy one!

FORGIVE ME, I'M NOT SHOUTING! JUST WRITING SO THE REVIEW CAN BE READ EASILY.THIS IS A GOOD WATCH FOR THOSE WITH POOR EYESIGHT AS THE TIME, SECONDS AND DAY ARE SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN NORMAL.AS AN ADDED BONUS, IT IS WATER RESISTANT, SO I CAN SWIM WITH IT ON.USUAL CASIO FEATURES LIKE ALARM AND STOPWATCH BUT ALSO MORE UNUSUAL ONES LIKE AN HOURLY BEEP AND DUAL TIME MODE.THE FIRST (IF YOU SET IT) MAKES THE WATCH BEEP EVERY HOUR ON THE HOUR.DUAL TIME IS USEFUL IF YOU REGULARLY TRAVEL (OR EVEN IF YOU JUST GO AWAY ON HOLIDAY). YOU CAN SET DUAL TIME TO THE TIME IN THE COUNTRY YOU ARE IN AND THIS MEANS YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE THE NORMAL TIME ON THE WATCH. WHEN YOU NEXT RETURN TO THAT COUNTRY, JUST SWITCH THE DISPLAY TO DUAL TIME AND THAT'S IT, YOU'RE SET!A GOOD QUALITY WATCH WITH A GOOD RANGE OF FEATURES AND A GOOD WARRANTY FOR A VERY REASONABLE PRICE.

I bought this as it was on offer as a replacement for an old f-91w. I wear them all the time so they get battered about a fair bit; i do a lot of mechanical repairs in my spare time. While it's a decent enough watch, the case isn't as strong; after less than 6 months the case broke at the points where the strap mounts on. On the f-91w, the strap always fails before the case. Just thought i would point this out in case anyone is looking for a tough watch this is not the one. No doubt though it was abuse that broke it rather than fair play, but there is a design flaw which causes a weakness in this area.
