CasioMen's Vintage F105W-1A Illuminator Water Resistant Sport Watch

Love this watch. Have been wearing this model since the 1980s. Sturdy, functional, reliable, accurate & lasts for years & years. Easy to use and set up the date, time, stop watch, timer and alarm. All functions work as they should. Choice of on the hour reminder chime, 12 or 24 hour display and the alarm beeps gradually accend in volume, gently waking the wearer without disturbing those nearby who want to keep sleeping.The back light dims out after several years. The watches themselves have never cracked or broken. Rough on watches. One was replaced when lens became cloudy, covered in an accumulation over time of tiny scratches from repeated contact with rough surface . Another replacedment was bc one of the holes where the bar for the watch strap sits became enlarged & would not hold bar any longer after the strap got hung up & thankfully pop the bar out, saving my wrist. The strap has hung up before, breaking the strap instead of popping out the bar. I'm not 100%sure but I think it was a newer replacement watch band that pulled the bar outBattery & strap sre simple to replace.Oh and this watch can handle being caked with mud, paint, dust, sand, etc..., covered in shampoos, lotions, etc.., and even sprayed with cleaning liquids (bleach, white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and moreNever take it off, except to clean it or . It's waterproof in the pool, tub, shower, lake & ocean snorkeling & even held up on a 30 min. shallow scuba dive average depth 20ft.Ladies, if you like simple, practical, watches, but find ladies' digital watches too small and men's either too big and thick check this watch out. I don't even notice I'm wearing it. It doesn't catch on clothing or anything except for when overcome by an occasionsl knucklehead moment and move too fast before looking. Correction. When it's really cold and multiple long sleeve layers are wrapped in sleeves with elastic wrist cuffs,adjust xthe watch location for comfort.and move move way too fast farms, in the barns, corals, pastures and pensBest simple digital watch, ever.

Arrived and looking new. Easy to setup like any old fashioned digital watch. It just reminds me the most primitive watch models will actually activate backlight when adjusting time/reset timer due to limited number of buttons, which is never the case for more sophisticated ones. Comfortable wear and no irritation to skin so far. Truly love the size and the weight, which makes me hardly feel it when wearing.

Love everything about this watch and it was very affordable.

I love the retro style and the feel. A great watch to wear daily. Lightweight and durable.

I've gone through a few of these watches over the years. The strap is always what breaks first. The watch is cheap enough that it isn't worth the time or money to replace the strap, so I just get a new watch. The straps tend to last between a year and a few years. This time I decided to purchase 4 years of coverage for the watch which will hopefully cover replacement if the strap breaks.The back-light is extremely useful and illuminates the entire watch. This is much better than Casio's regular light that just shines from the upper left corner.In a pitch black setting, the back light can even be used as a very weak flashlight.The alarm and timer are easy to use. Besides for the hourly chime which you can turn on it only has the option to set one alarm.It's easy to set the time and date and the display is nice, showing time, day of the week, and day of the month. The month itself is not displayed.I've never had a problem with the waterproofing. Its fine in showers or swimming.All in all a basic watch that gets the job done at an affordable price.

Let me start by saying I own quite a few watches. Some expensive ones. Toss it, Citizen Eco Drive etc. are they Rolexes? No, but they keep the same time as one.Now for this particular watch. It’s a classic. Lightweight, not too big, not too small, and wallet friendly. It keeps time well and a few extras to boot. The backlight is fantastic! It’s waterproof. Built to last. If you’re reading my review, you probably already know about this watch. What are you waiting for? Buy it!

Handles sweat, showers, and rain with ease. I haven't gone scuba diving with it so I can't tell you the exact failure depth, but I think if you keep it reasonable and stay in the swimming pool you should be just fine.The construction is pretty damn good, especially considering the price. I have another Casio of the same type but with the silver body and metal band, it has held up to countless impacts and scratches. This version should hold up even better, given the tough rubber band is the only real functional difference. The body, glass, buttons, and back face are all exactly the same. If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it!The illumination is even and sufficient, not so much it'll blow your night vision out but bright enough you will easily read the display. The stopwatch function works great too, I use it for timing my running exercises every week.I really can't recommend this watch enough. It is no frills and no BS, just a simple watch that will probably last longer than you will.

I collect vintage Casios so I may be biased, but this is probably the best budget watch you can buy. Super comfy, long lasting battery, easy to use, and the backlight is very bright.
