Casio Men's MTP4500D-1AV Slide Rule Bezel Analog Chronograph Aviator Watch

I absolutely love the value of Casio watches and believe everyone should own at least one...or a dozen. The Casio Slide Rule Chronograph is no exception and offers a lot of class at an affordable price.THE GOOD:It looks stylish with excellent contrast in the design and color scheme. The orange second hands and bezel accents are a lovely addition. The chronograph functions flawlessly, and the added "click" when pressing the pushers is a nice touch and serves as confirmation that the buttons were properly engaged. The hour and minute indices around the face are easily-readable, which should be an imperative consideration in any watch.Oh, and it will garner compliments from friends, strangers, and pesky insurance salesmen trying to butter you up.I have not submitted it to aquatic use yet, so I cannot comment on its water resistance. Though, this watch will probably not be one I grab for fishing or other water-related activities.THE BAD:The bracelet. As numerous other commenters have shared, the bracelet feels cheaper than Dollar Tree flip-flops. It functions for its intended purpose and is nice to have when you want to go for that look. However, I replaced mine with black-and-pumpkin silicone band from Barton, which pairs beautifully with the existing color scheme (pictured). Leather bands also look excellent on it.As other commenters have shared, if you are looking to actually USE the slide rule functionality for actual, real-world calculations, you may be out of luck. The slide rule indices inside the rim of the crystal are incredibly tiny, very hard to read in anything but good lighting, and are positioned at such an angle as to make them nearly impossible to read in general. So, if you're buying this for the purpose of on-the-go mathematics, best to keep looking (perhaps towards the Casio Edifice line).Overall, though, I am very pleased with the watch and happy with the purchase. If you are wanting a stylish chronograph watch that is reliable and won't break the bank, I highly suggest you purchase it.

Got this on sale for about $55 and I think it punches way above its weight.Other people complained about the slide rule inner bezel being misaligned but mine came in the correct spot so it doesn't seem like a widespread issue.The chronograph works well and on reset the second hand sweeps around back to the start. It's quite fun to watch. The pushers are easy to use and the crown won't easily be pulled out by accident.The lume glows very bright and makes it easy to read if it suddenly gets dark. The black and orange looks clean but I was not the biggest fan of the metal bracelet. I replaced it with a black and gray nato strap. For those wondering, the size of the strap is 22mm. I ordered a 23 at first and it's slightly too big.I really like the look of the concentric rings on the dial. I've gotten a couple compliments on it already.Great watch especially for the price. It's hard to find a good chronograph for under $100 but this one is great.

As a watch geek, Amazon knows me and keeps floating temptations my way (thank you Amazon :-) ) This interesting watch looked too good to be true - the price was less than the sales tax on one of my big name pure mechanical watches. However, the look was right up there with them - cool looking dial, quality bracelet, chronograph function that works like an Omega Speedmaster (meaning, the timing second hand is stationary at 12 until you press a pusher - the way I like my chronographs) and a pilot watch slide rule like a Breitling I have in my collection. Wow!I test all watches against an atomic clock for accuracy and this quartz movement timepiece scored high marks by being spot on. The stop watch function has a nice "click" when I press the top pusher to start timing and the usual Casio no-click feature when the sweep second hand is stopped (the other Casios I own all do that). Then, to return the hand to 12, there is a nice solid "click" - again, all Casios I own do that.The surprise for me at this price is the well-made bracelet. It's screams "look at me, I'm expensive" when I know it's incredibly affordable. Love that. Speaking of the bracelet, I have a fat wrist and I had to remove 3 links to get it to fit properly. I bought the tool needed to do that via Amazon but any jeweler can do it for free or a few dollars. You may need to remove 4 links ...I have not tested the waterproof function and I have not tried to use the slide rule - I used slide rules in high school and graduated to calculators so I can't say "yea" or "Nay" on how useful it it. However, the numbers are tiny and may be too small for AARP eyes like mine (an maybe yours). As for waterproofness - I don't swim with a watch but I suspect that this will be OK for use around water - watering lawn, washing the car, doing the dishes ...Overall, this is a super good bargain if you are looking for fun, accurate, attractive watch...Recommended

Another Edifice that I love, except that the E6B isn't much readable. The watch keeps an excellent time but doesn't have a date window. But that's okay. Love this piece.

Casio makes two aviator watches, this model being the lesser expensive and therefore less technical and detailed. However it's a gorgeous watch and for the price is much more than I expected. They also offer one for $150 with movable outer bezel to measure fuel consumption and tachymeter. If you're gifting this to someone who still flies and is wanting everyone to know it get the higher priced one. My gift is a retired pilot he loves this watch highly recommend.
