Casio Men's Ana-Digi Chronograph Dive Watch #AMW330D-1AV Review

Casio Men's Ana-Digi Chronograph Dive Watch #AMW330D-1AVFor such a price I think Casio did well,it really looks like an expensive watch.I have no idea if the glass scratches easily or not,as mentioned in the previous review...If you like big watches like me,this model will be the right choice.I uploaded 3 pictures that are quite different from the advertised one,you will notice how nice it's looking on the hand.
The only thing I know is that I'm enjoying wearing it,and I'm planning to buy a second one for a friend.

Casio Men's Sport Alarm Ana-Digi Dive Watch Review

Casio Men's Sport Alarm Ana-Digi Dive WatchI have bought this watch for him every 6 years.He has owned three so far. After replacing the battery, it is not as water resistant.Also, the band has broken on two out of the three of the watches.I gave it 4 stars because of the degradable band.No other watch has movable bezel, analog and digital time, with an alarm, for under $100.00.

Casio Men's Pathfinder Forester Fishing Moon Phase Watch #PAS400B-5V Review

Casio Men's Pathfinder Forester Fishing Moon Phase Watch #PAS400B-5VThe learning curve on this watch if you use it for fishing may take some time.The moon phase is nice to know about and the sunrise and sunset is pretty cool too, but I didn't give this watch 5 stars because for the money it didn't give me the one option I used more than any other on previous cheaper watches, a timer.This one has the stopwatch but there is no timer you can set for say 10 or 15 minutes.It keeps great time so far, but that's typical of Casio.The backlight is very bright, enough so that you can almost use it as a flashlight, and the option on this model where you can set it for the backlight to come on everytime you hold your arm a certain way is cool.If you're looking for a good water proof timepiece and you don't really care about the timer issue, this is the one.And yeah I'm vain about what it looks like on my arm; it looks manly and cool.

Casio Men's G-Shock Classic Digital Watch #DW9052-1V Review

Casio Men's G-Shock Classic Digital Watch #DW9052-1VI'm a building contractor who's been wearing G-shocks since 1986.I've probably gone through five of them.With the earlier models I was always having to replace the watch band because I brutalized them so badly on the jobsite.The most recent one I bought was the DW9052.Good watch and the band lasted very well, but the battery is starting to go so I've ordered a new Gulfman.The problem with the DW9052watch is that the battery is only rated for two years.Granted, I got nearly four years out of it, but I'm buying the Gulfman this time because it has a battery that is rated for seven years. Of course, it costs twice as much, which proves you get what you pay for.(Never pay to have a battery replaced in a G-shock, since they can't guarantee it will remain waterproof after they open the watchcase.)

G-shocks in general are the sturdiest watches ever built. I've beaten the hell out of mine for over 20 years.To borrow a phrase from another manufacturer, "they take a lickin and keep on tickin."

One more thing: if a G-shock is your every day watch and you own a dress watch as well, be careful when you wear the dress watch.They aren't as forgiving as G-shocks.You forget you are wearing them and end up going body surfing or something.It's happened twice to me while on vacation. I destroyed a Universal Geneve that my wife bought me in Singapore and nearly ruined a Tissot.My wife was not amused.

Casio Men's Pathfinder Triple Sensor Altimeter/Barometer/Digital Compass Watch #PAG40-3V Review

Casio Men's Pathfinder Triple Sensor Altimeter/Barometer/Digital Compass Watch #PAG40-3VI love this watch and never travel without it. I followed the instructions in the manual and use the thermometer a lot. To get an accurate ambient air temp reading I just take off the watch and wait about 8 minutes in the shade. You can also calibrate the thermometer and found the factory setting to be dead accurate! I discovered that if you read the temp while wearing this watch it will read your skin temp and have found this to be very helpful in monitoring my skin temp. Anything less than a 83 degrees means I am starting to get uncomfortably cold and need to warm up. 86 degrees skin temp is perfect for me. Knowing this allows me to tell if I have a fever or just over worked etc.

I use the altimeter alarm function when I fly to alert me of a faulty cabin pressure system during my commercial flights. I set my PAG 40 alarm to 8000 which is the maximum altitude pressure allowed in passenger cabins set by the FAA. If the cabin pressurization goes above 8000 ft the alarm will sound on the PAG 40. There is a graph at the top of the screen to check your altitude history. The graph is also used for tracking barometer history.

I calibrate my altimeter daily to get an accurate reading since the barameter will change by the hour.

The compass feature is great and you can also calibrate that too. I find the compass usefull at night and on heavy overcast days.

You get 5 seperate alarms and a short alarm for the top of each hour. All the alarms can be turned off or on seperately.

The stopwatch function does split times and single timing. It will not do laptimes for example timing laps at a race on after the other.

It runs on 4 batteries part# 395. Which I was able to change them myself.

Watch speed calibration was also accessible!

The display is large and easy to read.

I have owned my Casio PAG 40 for two years now.

The watch band has held just great so far and the watch is free of defects.

I plan to buy two more of these watches.

Casio Men's Ana-Digi 10-Year Battery Bracelet Watch #AW80D-1AV Review

Casio Men's Ana-Digi 10-Year Battery Bracelet Watch #AW80D-1AVThe watch looks sober and stylish.

PROS:
1. Casio make, presumably good quality materials and movement.
2. Nice design

CONS:
1. Light is feeble and does not illuminate the digital panel
2. Case of watch is not completely stainless steel, lower part is resin. In my last casio the resin clasp for the watch band broke. I bought this because I thought it would be stainless steel, but its not really.
3. The mineral dial cover is convex, so it will pick up scratches (like my last casio). I prefer flat watches
4. The watch is thick (say 3/60")
