Great for the price!     On: 2007-12-18

I bought this watch in November as a birthday present to myself. I was looking at some of the other Casios with Atomic clock functions and when I couldnt decide, I purchased this for the meantime. I must say this watch is more impressive when it arrived. Set up was easy and I really like the look on my wrist. Have had quite a few complements and people could not believe me when I told them the price. Heard it is even cheaper on the Casio website from other reviews. For the price I believe you are getting a watch that performs, looks, & feels like a more expensive watch. I was very happy that Casio came out with a watch that is both analog/digital. Didnt think it would have good looks but this watch does for me. I highly reccommend the purchase of this watch.
Great watch for the price     On: 2007-10-04

I love this watch. Its replaced a much more expensive watch that had similar features. Its great for those of us that have now have some problems with the smaller digital displays on fancier watches. The crystal does scratch a bit easy, which is a downside. Multiple alarms, multiple cities - all features I needed in a watch. Ill probably be purchasing at least one more just in case these phase out of production.
Great everyday watch.     On: 2007-09-19

I needed a black(matches anything) everyday watch and I definitely got what I wanted. Its just the right size, durable, and easy to read in any weather conditions. The "Autolight" is a pretty neat feature as well. I would highly recommend this watch to anyone.

Great Watch     On: 2007-07-31

I have bought several watches over the last few years. This watch covers both items I am looking for in a watch, analog and digital. I dont like hitting the light button at night to see the time, but with the glowing watch hands I am able to tell the time. The other thing I like about this watch is how light it is, other watches that I have owned in this style have been very heavy. I do not know how long the battery will last but if it lasts longer then a year I will be very happy and would be willing to change this rating to a 5 star.

I love this watch. I own some pretty expensive watches (gucci,tag hauer) and I must say that of all of them, this one is my favorite. Deep down I am a nerd, and I just think that the analog digital look is so cool. I like the illumination button, as well as the hands that glow in the dark. It has more features than I really need, but its nice to know they are there, and for the price, this cannot be beat. I was a little concerned, as it is advertised as a mens watch, that it might be too large for me, and that the band would be too big. I was very glad to see that it accomodates even the smallest of wrist (and my wrists are tiny). The face is not too big. This is a fantastic unisex watch!

Outstanding value for price vs. quality .     On: 2007-06-08

This is a great product, especially for only thirty bucks. It has all the features I need in a casual watch, and then some. Its easy to program if youve ever programed any other digital watch, but setting the analog time is not as easy to figure out - I had to refer to the instructions.

A couple of notes: In the photo, the silver trim looks like it has a matte finish (which I wouldve preferred), but in actuality it is quite shiny, so thats a bit misleading. Also, the face can show scratches fairly easily, but they are usually easy enough to buff out, and the low price of the watch still makes it an outstanding value.
Very Thick, not a sports watch, photo misleading     On: 2007-06-07

The photo is misleading.The problem I have with this watch is, that this is not a sports watch, as it said. Very thick, hence can not use for sports. It get damaged very easily. If you want a sports watch, buy any TIMEX product, they are great.
This Watch is great in appearance and worth for the money. Great functionality, different time zones...

Good watch for the price     On: 2007-05-25

I purchased this item a couple of weeks ago and it has worked perfectly. Keeps very accurate time. My only complaint would be the band is a little uncomfortable, but thats just my opinion.
Great watch for the price and features     On: 2007-05-19

After a long search, I took a chance with this watch. I am a fan of Casio watches and have had good luck with them. This one is very neat with all the features and time zones. I like the reversed digital face and the analog overlay. I hope it has a long lifespan. I could not find anything like this in the stores for the features and price. Quick shipping, too.

Cool Watch     On: 2007-04-26

This watch is really nice. The price is reduced from the casio website. The main reason why I bought it. Also I liked the style of the watch and the world time feature. It came right on time! I am satisfied. This is a nice looking watch and I love it!
very nice     On: 2007-03-22

this is a pretty neat watch. it looks great and has just about all the standard features. The plastic band is very slim so it feels comfortable. The outer case is a bit shinier that I realized. In fact it looks like polished nickel(which i didnt realize when buying). great watch
it was nice, but wasent what i orderd     On: 2007-03-15

i Orderd it Black like in the photo, but i got a Grey Watch, i didnt really like it...but thanks anyways...
A great watch     On: 2007-03-12

I really like this watch. It is perhaps the best looking watch that I have ever owned. Granted, this is the first "analog" watch that I have owned because I just like digital watches more. I always read the time off the digital display off this watch, but I like the analog appeal of it. The chrome bezel around it looks great also. It is a hard watch to beat for the price!
Almost... the best Ana-Digi watch out there.     On: 2006-06-13

I am a big fan of analog watches as i can somehow calculate time differences quicker with them... but I also wanted a stop watch and calendar on my wrist.

This watch gives the best combination of both with a large easily readable digital display along with the 2 hands (which are illuminous.. glow in the dark). The resin strap is more comfortable in the summer and doent pinch the hair on my wrist. The analog time is a little hard to set so i rarely change it when travelling across timezones and instead switch cities using the built in list which adjusts the digital time. The large multi lcd display also makes it easier to use than the rest of the ana-digis out there with the teeny weenie lcd near the bottom of the dial.

The downsides... The stainless steel bezel is a little too shiny for me (some kinda matte wouldve looked cooler). Perhaps the metal version of this watch mentioned in the other reviews actually has the matte finish. I will try uploading a few photos of this watch for comparison if allowed. The watch is otherwise very good except for the thickness of the case, which is a little too much for my wrists. The exact measurements being 1.5cm thick and 4 cm wide for my 5cm wide wrists.

This wouldve been the perfect watch if only it was 5mm thinner... i suggest u measure my given dimensions against ur wrist size before buying.
Really cool looking resin band Casio     On: 2006-06-03

Also check my review for AQ160WD1BV, the metallic version.
I own both. In terms of functionality and features, both the metal and resin band versions are exactly the same.

This resin band version looks little bit different, because of the black resin band, and a black ring above the dial as opposed to metallic ring. Given a choice i would choose the metallic version of this watch. But the resin band is very cool. Its lighter weight, the dial is slightly thinner.

This watch has world time, countdown timer, stopwatch, snooze alarm, everything you ever want, except
1) Solar power
2) Automatic time setting (waveceptor)

It also has the illuminator.

I would recommend this watch to anyone who is looking for a cool looking resin band casio.

One slight potential problem is, if you have a wide wrist, then this watch may not be for you. The resin band is not long enough for think wrists.
