Casio Solar Atomic Waveceptor Chronograph - Black & Yellow - Stainless Bracelet Review

Casio Solar Atomic Waveceptor Chronograph - Black & Yellow - Stainless BraceletI wanted the most current technology, atomic timekeeping and solar power.I also wanted a solid stainless case that, with the solar feature, would never need to be opened to replace the battery and hence would keep its water resistence.It's not too heavy nor too big (I had three links removed, and I'm a big guy so the band is large enough).It is to-the-second accurate according to my atomic wall clocks and gets a signal update about every other night here in central Virginia.I put it on a bookcase next to my bed, don't need to stick it in a windowledge.This watch is a bit hard to read in bright light.The dial and numerals are polished and put off a lot of glare, but I have unconsciously learned not to look at it straight on, but from a slight angle and that solves the problem.I'm pleased with the quality and accuracy, and it wasn't as complex as I feared.Good, quality product.Dick Poole

Casio Men's Tough Solar Analog Watch #MTP1225A-8AV Review

Casio Men's Tough Solar Analog Watch #MTP1225A-8AVThe only negatives that I can see for this watch is it's weight which is very heavy and that the digital text is too small. But, it was made to be tough and it accomplishes that very well.

Product Description:
You'll be dressed for success with this Casio Tough stainless steel men's analog/digital watch (MTP1225A-8AV), but it's also durable enough to handle your active lifestyle outside of the office.

Casio Men's Solar Atomic Watch WVA430DJ-1A Review

Casio Men's Solar Atomic Watch WVA430DJ-1AI have been wearing a Swiss Army Officers watch for the past 12 years and it has served me very well. I'm tough on my watches and they have to stand up to the rigors of everyday use on the job. I'm okay with battery changes every 18 to 24 months. Well, it was time to retire my venerable SA watch even though it works just fine. It just looks very beat up. Years of abuse took their toll on the bracelet, the case and the crystal.

I shopped around for a new watch with day/date, a metal case and bracelet and I have to admit that this Casio watch was not anywhere on my radar. Most of the better quality watches were in the $250 to $475 price range which, for my work purposes, is a bit "rich". By accident, I came across this model Casioon another website and I read the many reviews it had already received, the overwhelming majority of which were glowing.

I was admittedly intrigued by the technology - atomic, so that it sets itself automatically AND solar, so that battery changes are a thing of the past. As long I wear the watch or store it so that it's in the open in normal daylight, the built-in power battery remains fully charged and it just keeps ticking, up to 5 months without any recharging from ambient daylight. There's even a power saving mode if you wish. Any cumulative loss of timekeeping seconds is eliminated as it regularly sets itself to the atomic clock in Colorado without any intervention by the wearer.

The watch has some heft to it and it's not a small faced watch but it's not heavy on the wrist either. Quite comfortable in fact. The bracelet is nicely made and it resembles that of my old Swiss Army watch. Instead of those annoying overly-protruding small round "buttons", the watch has long smooth oval buttons for the various functions, etc. and they're set relatively close to the edge of the case.

The watch comes with a rather stout but small instruction manual and it's not too easy or straightforward to initially set it up or to walk through the many features. But, as long as you maintain some level of patience and read the manual, it all comes together. Once it's set to your city and your preferences, using it is non-eventful.

The bracelet has numerous links and is shipped large to accomodate very big wrists so if you're not too handy or adroit in driving out the small pins to remove the appropriate number of links, you may want to bring it to one of those "while-u-wait" jewelry and watch repair repair kiosks or stores. That way, the technician can take out the correct number links from each side as he/she actually fits it to your wrist. The fold-over clasp is nicely made and utilizes a squeeze mechanism to release it rather than a friction snap.

All in all, this is tremendous feature-packed watch for the price. Casio products enjoy a reputation for quality, dependability and value. This model watch is virtually maintenance free, i.e. no button cell battery to change and always accurate because it regularly sets itself to the atomic clock in Colorado.

It offers 10 bar static pressure water resistance which according to the owner's manual means that it will withstand splashes, rain, swimming, car washing, snorkeling and shallow diving but not scuba diving. Attractive, stylish and from all the reviews I read, reasonably rugged and durable. The owners manual states that it is both shock AND vibration resistant, specifically mentioning that is good for wearing during hard sports, motocross, chain saw operation, rock drill operation, etc.

Now, perhaps it's not as durable a watch as I could have purchased for 3, 4 or 5 times the money BUT when its respectable durability is combined with atomic calibration and solar operation, it's an unbeatable value for the money being spent. And, the inevitable scratches and dings that come with wearing it every day for work won't "hurt" nearly as much.

Casio Men's Wave Ceptor watch #WVQ600SGA-1AV Review

Casio Men's Wave Ceptor watch #WVQ600SGA-1AVThe watch is elegant and gorgeous.Although I'd consider it to be a bit heavy, it isn't out of line for a Stainless Steel watch.Too bad Casio doesn't do them in Titanium.The gold tone leans more towards a "orange" gold than a "yellow" gold.Still very pretty, though.The watch arrived well protected from scratches and abrasions.

The instructions for setting the watch are spot on -- once you know how to set it!It took me 2 days of trial and error to get it right!Some of the behaviors of the watch aren't clearly spelled out in the manual.It was also helpful to dl the set up instructions in PDF from Casio as it then is on 4 normal size pages.That makes it easier to read while pressing all the buttons.So be patient on set up.

I have other Casio solar atomic watches and found that the atomic adjustment can be finicky.It works for me 95% of the time, though.I get a kick out of the watches "going to sleep" at night!

This is a watch with an "expensive" look to it!

Casio Men's Solar Atomic Watch WVA430J-1AThis watch is nice in concept and looks.However, it has the following problems:

1. Setup is a nightmare - The instruction manual and pictures do not tie exacly to what the actual watch is doing.

2. Composite watch band will require the factory or a watchmaker to replace.My other Casios will allow an easy replacement

Casio Men's Atomic Waveceptor Sports Watch #WVAM490D-2A Review

Casio Men's Atomic Waveceptor Sports Watch #WVAM490D-2AThis watch was purchased to replace my 12 year old Seiko Kinetic that would no longer hold a charge. I am very satisfied with its two major features - it is solar powered (no more shaking my wrist to keep it charged) and it is atomic (I am confident the time is exact).
After the first day shake down and learning it updates every night at 12:04am sharp and it keeps a full charge with a little attention to light exposure.It is not so bulky as many of the other similar watches. The band was too large for me and with a some poking from a tiny screw driver I managed to remove enough links to get it just right. For the mechanically impaired I would suggest this be done with one of the cheap watch band pin-removal tools or just take it to a jeweler. I rate it 4 stars because I would have preferred it be just a bit smaller, a bit thinner and lighter. Big guys - no problem!

Casio Men's Waveceptor Solar Atomic Ana-Digi Sport Watch #WV430DJ-1 Review

Casio Men's Waveceptor Solar Atomic Ana-Digi Sport Watch #WV430DJ-1If you want a watch that's good looking and always dead-accurate to the split second without any adjustments, you won't go wrong with this one.
Here are a few observations:
It's lightweight. It weighs about half as much as the other watches I own with stainless steel wristbands, making it very comfortable to wear. The face is large with a simple clean design, making it easy to read. I do need my reading glasses for the digital display.
It's nice looking and goes with just about any kind of outfit from casual to dressy. I wouldn't wear it to the beach or with a tuxedo, but it looks pretty good with just about anything between those extremes. In the display photo, it appears to have a blue-gray face, mine is gray with a faint hint of violet rather than blue. When you look at it you basically see a gray face, but it's a warmer gray than it appears on the web. I think the real thing looks better than the picture.
It's pretty easy to set up. If you've ever set a digital watch, this isn't much different. The main difference is that you have to set the time zone you're in for the correct hour to be displayed. Once that's done, you don't have to worry about it again unless you are traveling and want to change it to different time zones. It's not a difficult procedure. One thing I really like a lot is the watch automatically resetting itself for daylight savings time! Twice a year I have to go through the tedious ritual of changing all of the clocks and watches around the house. It's nice having one wristwatch I don't have to touch. The radio controlled timekeeping works like a charm. The only potential drawback would be traveling outside the range limit of the atomic radio signal. If you are a U.S. customer, the signal range is nearly all of North America. Even if you are out of range, the watch should still keep pretty accurate time and you can always adjust it manually if you need to.
I like the idea of the battery being recharged by solar power. It doesn't require a whole lot of light to do the trick. The specifics are in the instructions. One example is five minutes of direct sunlight equals one full day of power consumption. I got this a couple of months ago during the dead of winter and I live in Minnesota, so it's dark most of the time and the watch is always covered by long sleeves when I'm wearing it. To keep the battery fully charged, I set it near a window instead of putting it in a drawer when I'm not wearing it. In the summer, normal exposure to sunlight with short sleeves when I'm out and about during the day should be more than enough light for a full charge. I should also mention that it will run for months on a full charge without additional light exposure. I'd like to say never having to replace the battery is a great feature, but to my knowledge there's no such thing as a battery with an infinite number of charge/discharge cycles. Assuming I keep and use this watch for many years to come, the battery will eventually wear out, lose it's ability to hold a charge and will have to be replaced. I'm hoping that will be a very, very long time from now.
To sum it up; the watch is no fuss, totally accurate, good looking and comfortable to wear. I can't say enough good things about it!

Casio Men's Edifice Sporty Solar Atomic Watch #LIW500DJ-1A Review

Casio Men's Edifice Sporty Solar Atomic Watch #LIW500DJ-1AI've only had this watch for a few days, but I'm very happy with it. If it turns out to be reliable over time, it'll be the best I've ever owned. It deals with the two most annoying aspects of watches I've had in the past--replacing batteries and regularly resetting to the correct time. This watch can reset itself automatically several times a day, and it runs on natural or artificial light-power.

Notwithstanding some of reviews I've read elsewhere, I can't say that reading the dials on this watch is any different or more difficult than several other chronographs I've owned; and I've found that the back-light feature works very well, both in the automatic mode, when the wrist is turned a certain way, and manually by pressing one of the buttons. However, the watch can be programmed so that this feature is permanently off.

I would rate this watch with five stars except for the User's Guide. It's incredibly small, so it's very difficult to follow the rather complex directions for setting the watch and using its various functions, such as the stop-watch and alarm. Having said that, however, a much more readable User's Guide is available online from Casio at no charge.

On balance, when compared to watches that are not programmable, there is a steeper learning curve involved in the set-up of this watch and becoming familiar with its functions, so it's not for technophobes or the electronically challenged.

Casio Men's Edifice Solar Atomic Watch #EQW700DBJ-1A Review

Casio Men's Edifice Solar Atomic Watch #EQW700DBJ-1AI love this watch!That said, 1 hour after unpacking it I was convinced it was broken
and ready to send it back. NOT SO FAST!This watch is SOLAR powered. Yes it can maintain a sufficient
charge to function for one day if under flourescent light for 8 hrs, but its delivered to you after being in a totally
dark box (a cute Casio can) for a few months at least!Mine arrived with the display blank and the
analog hands frozen.No problem I thought..just a few minutes under a hologen lamp
and I'm good to go...right.Not so much.I read the "Home time zone" and "Manual time
setting" sections of the manual and proceded to push the appropriate buttons.Chaos.Nothing
responded acording to the manual.The problem.....not enough juice.When you get this watch
you should put it in direct sunlight (outdoors preferably) for 6 to 8 hrs. before attempting
anything...and I mean anything.Then and only then go first to page E-34 of the manual and
set the "Home Position" of the hands.Then go to page E-49 and set your time zone and local
time manually. Then, after dark, try a "manual receive" of the atomic time.I say after dark
because unless you live within 600 miles of Clorado, you probably will not get a satisfactory
signal during daylight.THEN, READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL.Yes it is small print and somewhat
difficult to decifer. But you cannot enjoy or controll this timepiece without understanding the
operating system.Complicated?....perhaps....worth it?....YOU BET!This watch will last you
a lifetime and you'll never need to replace a battery, worry about dailight savings changes or
leap years or 30-31 day month settings and never need to set the time.Only occasionally
will you need to do maintainance of exact hand position.Once FULLY charged (27 hrs direct
sunlight) this watch will maintain itself with ambient daylight and office flourescent light.
Beware the "tilt backlight feature"....this really sucks the power and is not really useful
after the Gee-wiz factor wears off.ENJOY!

Casio Men's Atomic Tough Solar Waveceptor Sports Watch #WVA320J-1E Review

Casio Men's Atomic Tough Solar Waveceptor Sports Watch #WVA320J-1EThe watch looks better in person than it does in the pictures. I recommend going to a brick and mortar store before committing on Amazon. The watch looks much better with an after-market nylon zulu/nato strap. Another version with a steel bracelet is offered, but I've heard that the quality on the bracelet is not great, so I recommend after-market bracelets (watch has standard 22mm lugs). The lume on the hands is very bright, unfortunately, the rest of the lume is a little dim, not sure if that is meant on purpose. Weak lume is a non-issue since the watch has a electric light that adequately illuminates the watch. The digital display can be used for a number of things, not just weekday and calendar day indication. It can also display different time zone times, power meter, stop watch, digital time, digital second indicator... etc. Its really cool to see that the digital time is exactly synchronized with the analog time. THIS IS NOT A DIVE WATCH! As far as a I can tell, the watch is not rated for diving, but it is styled after dive watches so I find that a little misleading. The bezel is unidirectional with 120 clicks. The atomic synchronization doesn't seem to work well here in Miami, reception from FT. Collins is poor to non-existent, but that is not Casio's fault. NIST has plans to build a station that will cover the east coast of the US but plans are not set in stone or near the horizon, so I wouldn't hold my breath. Bought the watch at $120 from Amazon (noticed the price went up :( Initially was told that the watch would ship in 1 month! but the actual ship time was a lot shorter in reality. I agree with another reviewer that the watch was a little confusing to setup initially and that the manual was a little confusing but eventually you will figure it out with a little patience.

Bottomline --- Watch is not perfect, it is not dive rated but is probably well suited for all other water activities. Packs plenty of high-tech features in a classic appearance. If you like the dive watch style but don't want the clunkiness of a dive watch, this is it. Casio reliability and quality is legendary.

Casio Men's Atomic Tough Solar Waveceptor Sports Watch #WVA320DJ-1E Review

Casio Men's Atomic Tough Solar Waveceptor Sports Watch #WVA320DJ-1EI need a sturdy watch that requires little to no maintenance and keeps accurate time.I also need to display zulu time and local time simultaneously.I need timers.This watch can be set up to do all that.Whats more, once I have it configured, I can see all three at a glance, local time on the analog hands, zulu digital in the window, elapsed time on the rotating bezel!

As for needing sturdy, my previous watch was a Casio Waveceptor battery powered.I had it for 5 years, never had to replace the battery and it worked flawlessly at keeping perfect time.But the case was plastic and the crystal was easily scratched.The plastic case broke and the band fell off.My new watch is 100% stainless steel and the crystal seems to be very high quality, no scratches after one month.The solar feature has no trouble keeping it charged, unlike the lousy motion-generator/condenser system in my Seiko Kinetic.I paid to have the Seiko condenser replaced twice in four years and it needs it again.Those two repairs alone cost more than my new Casio!

Time will tell if the Casio "Tough Solar" really is tough, but I expect it is.

I also should comment that the alarm/signal tones are muffled by the heavy steel case.That is fine with me.I have not used the alarm feature on any of my watches going back to my first digital in the 70's.

Other comments; it has a night light in addition to glow in the dark hands, it looks great and it feels like quality.

I'm very pleased with this watch.
