Casio Men's Databank Digital Watch #DBC62-1 Review

I had this watch many years ago, and I'm happy to have just purchased another.When the battery in the old one ran out (4 yrs), I was given a different model as a gift, and I was less impressed.I'm glad the casing cracked, and I had a good reason to get my old watch back!

This watch is one of the slimmest profile data memo watches I've seen out there--half as thick as the one I just got rid of.The battery life is great, the display is easy to read, the adjust button isn't exposed like many others these days.And the feature I like the most is the on-screen two-week calendar with scrolling alert feature.This is strangely a rarer feature in data memo watches, and it's the one I miss the most.Small bars appear in the calendar boxes, notifying me of impending scheduled events, and when an alarm goes off, the scrolling message reminds me of what I needed to remind myself!Honestly, I can't believe that feature isn't standard on every watch that features up to 50 programmable alarms!

One draw-back.No indeglow, or whatever they call it now.The screen is *much* harder to read at night due to the small light inside.But I'm not willing to trade the size, the style, and the alarm feature for a better light.This is my favorite watch.

Casio Men's Solar Atomic Resin Strap Watch #WVM120J-1 Review

Some time ago I have sworn that I will only use solar-powered watches that synchronize time with atomic clocks. Initially only quite expensive and 'stylish' models were available, but wearing a timepiece worth several hundred bucks while doing work around the house makes you constantly worried that you scratch precious thing.
This watch is under $100 and has all the benefits of its more expensive 'brothers':
- Solar powered quite efficiently - with normal daily exposure to light I'm always at the 'max charge' level (of course living in sunny Nevada helps here).
- Time synchronization with the 5 radio transmitters all over the world (USA, England, Germany, Japan*2). I frequently travel to visit family in Europe, so USA and England/Germany transmitter sync is important to me. Many watches in the US only sync with USA transmitter or USA and Japan; the latest models just started supporting new China transmitters; this one is the perfect balance for me.
- Time signal reception is excellent in Nevada, bot inside the buildings and outside. From my previous experiences it should mean good reception throughout the West Coast and (maybe!) some problems inside solid-construction buildings in New England and Florida.
- Unlike some cheap models of watches and clocks, this one reads Daylight Savings Time data straight from the radio signal, so it 'springs ahead' and 'falls back' at the correct dates. Some older clocks have hard-coded DST transition dates and are confused after the recent DST changes in the USA.
- I love 'Auto EL' feature: the watch turns on Electro-Luminescent backlight for two seconds when it is dark and the wearer positions hand appropriately. Perfect for the movies, night flights and similar situations.
- I usually prefer metal bands, but resin band in this model is surprisingly good quality and wears OK.
- Button operation seems to be reliable so far.
- The glass is scratch resistant and placed recessed in the metal panel - so far I managed to keep it clear, which is unusual for me.

Amazon had the best price for this item, better than Fry's and Casio website. The watch arrived on time and in good shape.

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