Casio Men's AW43-7E1V Classic Illuminator Ana-Digi Sport Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used this watch for more than 20 years, and it fits my needs quite well. I am old enough (56) to prefer an analog face; this one has excellent visibility because of the high contrast between dial and hands, so I can sneak a quick glance without appearing rude. (And it's nice to have the day and date in the little digital window.)
I don't need an altimeter, food processor, and phases of the moon on my watch, nor does my wrist need to make a statement about who I am. It's decent looking enough that I wear it in all but the most formal settings.
When we're in a dark theater, my partner with the expensive watch is always making me light up the dial on my watch to see the time!
I also like water resistance and a fair amount of durability, since I'm forgetful and unkind to watches. If I were to destroy it, it's cheap to replace. When the clear plastic face gets light scratches, I buff it with toothpaste. After 10 years, my first one of these bit the dust (the strap gave out), but I was delighted to discover it still being sold on Amazon.

Casio Men's AW590-1A G-Shock Ana-Digi Chronograph Sport Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I spent some time researching every G-Shock offered by Casio and narrowed it down to the AW590-1A for several reasons.
-> I prefer traditional battery over Tough Solar. I have read numerous negative reviews about the rechargable batteries giving out anywhere from 1-5 years and in the end are very difficult to replace.
-> This watch uses a larger CR1220 battery which Casio estimates will last about 3 years and is easily replaceable.
-> The AW590-1A uses round metal buttons, and not the cheaper rectangular plastic ones on some other G-Shocks, which can get "squeaky" and wear out.
Now on to the watch itself. You need to set the analog time separate from the digital, however they do sync up perfectly once both are set. The analog minute hand moves every 20 seconds and seems very refined.
The top led bar simply ticks off every 10 seconds while the left circle shows numeric seconds. The bottom circle shows whether certain functions are activated, like DST, alarm, snooze, hourly signal and split time in the stop watch function. The left circle does the most: in normal time mode it can be toggled to show month/date, day of the week or digital time. It has a nice resolution and also serves as the stopwatch and countdown timer.
World time is cool as only the left circle changes to show you the digital time in another time zone, while the analog stays in your home zone, allowing you to compare times instantly.
The watch has a whopping five separate alarms, one of which has a snooze function. I don't find the need to have that many alarms but some may find it useful. Countdown and stopwatch are nothing special, pretty much what you expect.
There is also an Auto LED feature which I find an unnecessary battery drainer. Once enabled, a quick upward motion of the wrist automatically causes the light to come on. I found that you can quite often set the light off unintentionally. Luckily you can disable this feature.
The physical dimensions of the watch are a good combination of form and function. The mineral crystal face is recessed nicely and protected well but still offers a clear view with a quick glance.
Overall I'm very pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend this watch to anyone who genuinely appreciates Casio's G-Shock line watches.

Casio Men's AW81D-7AV Ana-Digi Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this watch for my 84 year old Dad. He wanted a ana-digi watch and they are nearly impossible to find! Casio has the largest selection. I figured the buttons on this watch instead of tiny knobs would be easier for him to control, the dial looked like it was easy to read, and the programming would be a breeze with fewer bells and whistles! Dad loves the watch and for all the reasons I listed and more! This is the perfect watch for anyone wanting a moderately priced watch with necessary modes, but not with too many gadgets! Dad is happy and so am I!
