Casio AW80 Series | Men’s Analog-Digital Watch | 50M Water Resistance | Multi Alarms | 100 SEC Stopwatch | Countdown Timer | World Map for World Time | LED Light | LC Display | 10 Year Battery

Tremendous value! Quality is very good for such an inexpensive watch. Seems like the durability is going to be quite nice. It does have some lume on the hands, but not all of the indices. The lume is adequate and I’m happy with the lume. The real weak point of this watch is the LED backlight. The LED black light is very minimal. It does not light up the LED display at all. It barely works for the analog hands. The Watch, how ever is very comfortable on the wrist, I forgot I had it on when I went to bed and when I Woke up in the morning I was surprised to see it on my wrist! This would make a great gift or a stocking stuffer. I splashed my watch while I was washing my hands and the water resistance seems to be adequate. I highly recommend this Watch for the value. I love the world time function. It’s a little bit difficult to synchronize the analog hands with the digital time. I was eventually able to do it, but it takes a while. Overall, I would definitely purchase this watch again.

I have worn Timex watches exclusively for the last 20 years. I like the simplicity and durability of them, however, the elastic metal band on my last one failed where it attaches to the watch case in such a way that it had two pointy metal peaks that made it unwearable. I was going to simply replace the band, but it was cheaper to buy a new watch. I looked for something equivalent to what I had but styles have changed and I couldn't find something appealing that matched my pricepoint. Until I found this Casio watch. I debated over the newer plastic-silicone bands, but worried about durability. I am an electrician, and get into some rough environments at work, dirt, dust, construction debris and such. Getting sweaty and dirty wearing a watch can make them smell bad over time(like the stretchy metal band on my old Timex). This Casio has a nice metal band, it seems very durable as well as being easy to close and comfortable to wear. The face and body of the watch is low profile enough to not get in the way at work or wearing work gloves. It is attractive enough to wear as an everyday watch too. The reviews I read prior to purchase were pretty much accurate, the manual is a bit daunting, but it is in several languages so it only requires reading part of it. I had a bit of a challenge getting it set, but eventually I got it right. The light feature flat out is not as good as the Indiglo feature of the Timex watches, but I don't rely on that as much as I thought I would. The glow in the dark feature this watch has is also rather weak, it does work, but has no duration. The telememo feature it has is something I didn't realize it has, but I can't see how it will benefit me. I simply needed a watch that is accurate, easy to read, easy to wear, comfortable, and durable. This watch checks those boxes for me. Overall, this is a budget friendly watch that is well made and easy to wear. For me, the style and durability made it the right choice.

I purchased this with disappointing intimal emotions. Ugg this is not a very good digital watch.... Well NO it's actually a decent small analog watch that has a digital window slip that's visible 70% or so of the time (The watch hands obscure the window cut out from 4-8). First complication I ran into, the analog function is set manually via advancing the hands independently of the digital clock settings by the buttons. With a ten year battery life & year programing out to 2099 that leaves changes for daylight savings & time zones something I will likely refresh myself with you tube vid "how to's" a couple times a year. As its a budget model there is no analog second hand further reducing its "at a glance" functionality. Overall, the digital window can be utilized for the day/date/second readout as well as a timer & stopwatch (and a secret power of up to thirty phone # length with alpha ID). The ugly aspect of these features however is the analog hands obscure these in actual use every hour as the minute hand sweeps through and more so with the hour hand in the 4-8 range. I can see only one occasion where the Analog - Digital time display could be of common daily use. If you had a local time and say a office time in different time zones. Otherwise the readout is more a novelty on a budget analog watch than a useful feature. Looking back on the review it would seem I do not like this clock, truth is yes in the low end series I would suggest the features of the digital display watches are better doing digital things. I do like the brown colour and size of this piece however. While it wears as a flyweight I will say the strap is another victim of cost, they attempted to upscale the appearance and its more of a costume jewelry effect. Functional but will wear rapidly so long before the brilliant 10 year battery life a fresh strap will be needed. Sorry not Sorry for the under $30 I lashed out for this, my own fault not what I deem deficiencies of the watch. Still a Casio fan, this model simply isn't as good as others they produce for the features I desire.

Good watch

This my opinion of the Casio Analog-Digital watch Model AW80 (2747) with a metal band. It packs a lot of features and feels very solid. Other reviewers have pointed out that parts of the case are resin, such as where the band attaches to the watch body. Also, the crystal is plastic and can be easily scratched. I don't wear a watch everyday, so those points are not negatives for me. The complexity of the features requires studying the tiny included printed instruction manual. Fortunately, a quick online search will result in a manual in PDF format that is easier to read. The first thing to do is set the time and date. It's important to note that the analog hands and the digital display must be set separately. Changing one does not change the other. Follow the procedure in the manual. Once they are properly set, the time on both analog and digital sections will stay in sync. The watch band needed to be resized for me. It was too large for my wrist. Again, I had to go to the web and search for instructions on how to resize it which involves removing links. This band is a 'Folded Link' type. I found several videos online with instructions. I have attached pictures that show the clip that must be removed (Letter A) before a link can be taken out. Two clips must be removed to take out one link. Insert a small screw driver into the hole at the bottom of the link and push the clip in the direction of the arrows. The clips on my band did not come out easily. I had to first spread the link opening apart (very slightly) before the clip would come out. After that, I had to fiddle with the links to separate them. Each link will subtract about 3/8 inch from the band. There is a small adjustment area (Letter B) if the fit needs to be fine tuned. Reassemble the links and insert the clips. I used a rubber mallet to fit them back in. At one point in this whole process I had to exert so much force that I thought I would surely bend or break something. It didn't and it ended up to be the proper size for me. Again, look online for complete instructions. This watch suits me and has more features than I will regularly use. It's a low cost watch that doesn't look low cost.

I got this because I needed a watch with at least three alarms but wanted one more dressy (not sporty). This was the only one that fit the bill, especially as most of it is analog (dressier) and not completely digital (too casual). Reducing the band width: easier than I thought, but took about 20 minutes. Used two tools: a pen knife and needlenose pliers. (In the images, someone has put up a photo of how the links look before and after being removed. I also watched a YouTube video). (1) I first put it on and guestimated how many links I would need to remove (2). Then I did the microadjustment (used the tip of the blade to push in the pin and adjust the clip area to the middle, so I could later make it a big wider or narrower later). (2) Pushed out the pins (you have to push out two of the L-shaped pins to remove one link) so they were just barely sticking out. (I don't think I could have pushed it all the way out with the pen knife. Would recommend getting one of those tiny screwdriver like watch tools here--cheap but well worth it), (3) I pulled out the L pins with the needlenose. (4) I inserted the L pins back (and tapped them in flush with the the needlenose). Looks great for my business casual office wear. And would work when I have to wear a suit. When I'm at my desk, I can easily read the time (both analog and digital date). But when I go outside (where I don't wear my reader-computer glasses), I can barely make out the time. This is because of two things: (1) fitting an analog and digital on one face necessarily makes both smaller than if just alone, and (2) the light hands on light background make it even more challenging when there is any sunlight. (And when it's darker, the light is essentially useless). Setting both the times and the alarms are not that difficult, you just have to follow the steps in the manual. In short, I have a hard time telling the time with my new watch! The alarms are fine (but not as loud as my Timex Expedition)--one alerts me when I need to be out the door to go to the train station; the second alerts me when I need to wrap up work to head to the train station, and the other wakes me up 10 minutes before my statin stop (that's why I need at least three alarms). However, when I'm walking to and from the station, I have a hard time telling time. So, overall, doesn't work for me. So for now, I've decided just to keep this at the office (because for me, the metal band is more comfortable, not even noticeble, compared to leather or nylon ones). And it looks more professioal than my field-like Timex watch. However, for my commute, I continue wearing my Timex (plus the alarm is louder), and once I get to the office, I put on this Casio, which I can tell the time because most of the time I have my glasses on. But if you have good vision (and don't wear glasses) this might be for you. It is very stylish.

Very nice affordable watch! Love it! Especially the Velcro band!

I bought this to replace a higher end Casio that broke. After finding out that all of the Casio watches in this style have plastic cases where the band attached I decided not to bother with the expensive one. This one does the basics it has multiple time zones, a light and date. To start off with my only complaints about this watch were that it is very difficult to remove links from the band, and that the light is not very bright. The light works ok in a dark room, but it is not as easy to read as the EL backlight on the other Casio I had. For the money it seemed like a good deal. I missed the more elegant style and fancy features of my old watch, but this one did the job well enough. But only for 5 months. The first sign of trouble I had was that the analog hands were not staying set. Then the next day I noticed a lot of condensation inside the case. Then it just quit. I thought it might have been the battery, even though the watch was only five months old and was supposed to have a 10 year battery. Replacing the battery was a pin in the rear because the instructions that came with the watch did not have any information about how to change the battery. Casio's web site was also no help in this regard. Finally I figured out that there is a catch on the metal band that holds the battery in, you have to use a very thin jeweler's screwdriver to gently pry it loose. Even being careful I managed to bend it a bit so it took a littel work to get it back into the correct shape after removing the old battery. There is a sticker on the inside that mentions you must connect the "AC" terminal to the "-" after installing the new battery, which I did with a small piece of copper wire. After putting a new battery in it worked for about 2 minutes, just long enough to set the time again, then it died. I thought the new battery might have just been a dud, so I put it on a battery tester, and it tested OK. Now getting suspicious, I put the old battery on the tester, and it tested OK too. SO I gave up, pitched the watch in the trash and put the batteries on the shelf. That's the last Casio I'll buy.

Schöne Uhr und funktioniert gut.

Anche se è considerato un modello da uomo io l'ho preso per me perché mi piace moltissimo il fatto che sia di tela e che abbia il velcro. Lo metto con tutto. Nella colorazione beige non è neanche così maschile. Ha la lucina che uso tantissimo di notte e tante altre funzioni che, onestamente, non utilizzo. Il prezzo poi è abbordabile. Prodotto veramente buono, lo consiglio.

This is a great watch - one of very few that has both digital and analog time - a bit tricky to change the time for daylight saving, but its a great watch.

Koop de uitvoering met zwarte wijzerplaat. Deze spiegelt en glimt te veel. Gevolg: slecht te zien. Overdag en s'nachts.

Volevo dare 4 stelle, ... poi a pensarci, al di là del fatto che la luce notturna non illumina le cifre digitali e che ha tante funzioni che quasi sicuramente non userò mai, non trovo nulla che non vada, è leggero e comodo (il cinturino mi è arrivato di misura, per cui non saprei dire delle difficoltà di cui ho letto su come accorciarlo).... rapporto qualità prezzo direi quindi ottimo... ce l'ho comunque da meno di un mese, quindi il giudizio è per quello che ho sperimentato sin qui. Attenzione: il quadrante non è azzurrino come sembra in foto ma argento.... Ciao
