Style, Value & Function
This watch is stylish and reasonably priced. The velcro band is practical and comfortable. The push button light is useful in low light conditions. The second hand and date enhance its functionality. It’s thickness is just right so it doesn’t get in the way. It’s a quality timepiece at a low price.

Solid value
I wore an analog watch many years ago and decided to get one recently because I’m kind of tired of the endless stream of slop served up on screens.This Casio tells time the old fashioned analog way, without any bells and whistles – you get time, date, and that’s it in terms of information. The Arabic numerals are big enough to read easily at a glance. In low light, you can use the light button to activate an LED, which provides enough light to read the time. The strap is nylon and leather, which I find decently comfortable. The Velcro on the strap makes for a precise fit.It keeps pretty good time, as well – it’s rated for +/- 20 seconds per month, but mine is off by just 4-5 seconds within the first 3 weeks of owning it, which I would guess would only put it off by 6 seconds and change for a month – not bad at all, really.Oh, and one other thing: I can’t hear this thing ticking unless I stick it directly up to my ear. It’s nice and quiet, which is important if you’re someone who can’t tolerate constant little repetitive noises in the background of your life.

Perfect simplicity
I have owned several “field watch” style analog watches, most recently a metal Timex Expedition, which is a handsome military style watch. While well built, the Timex is heavy. I tried this Casio model because the weight, about half of the Timex’s, was one of the lowest weights of any analog watch available on Amazon, with the exception of perhaps a Swatch or the tiny Swatch-like Casio which the Pope wears (Google that if you don’t believe me). The all plastic design is what leads to this low weight.After wearing it for three days, I can say this watch is great & exactly what I expected. Well under 40mm across, so it’s not large on my average sized wrist. Astoundingly bright light (with a really cool multi-second fade, which I’ve never seen on a watch). And again, so lightweight you’re not even aware of its presence. Some people have asked if the hands are luminous; they are not.The most puzzling thing about this watch was the strap that came with it. Very funny looking and bulky for everyday wear. The “leather” parts of the band were clearly shiny vinyl, which gave the band a cheap look. But I will say that the supplied band would probably work well for people who use the watch for camping, hiking, canoeing, etc. The band’s Velcro was very secure and easily adjustable to any lengthy and it would be quite easy to quickly put the watch over a jacket while cold weather fly fishing or something like that. Also the supplied strap seems like it would dry fast.But because I planned to wear it was an everyday non-outdoorsy watch, I wanted to switch to a NATO strap, of which I have several. Here’s where I’d caution anyone planning to switch straps as I did. Most “lug widths” on watches are *even* millimeter widths, with 18, 20 & 22 being the most common, and 20mm being the most common of all for Timexes, Seikos, Citizens, etc. This watch is a 19mm lug width. Quite unusual. Straps, NATO and otherwise, with odd widths are difficult to find, but I happened to have one (the one featured in the photo). Is this lug width issue a huge deal? No. If you wanted to switch the watch to a NATO strap, and couldn’t find a 19mm, an 18 or 20 would work (with the former showing a bit of the metal pins and the latter being a snug fit).But aside from the weird band issue — which worked out well for me — this is a perfect watch for a perfect price. Like many Casios, you’re talking about approximately $20 for a watch which will likely last years.** One final note: I can’t vouch for the accuracy of this, but one YouTube review of this watch said it has two batteries— one for the quartz movement and another for the light. If this is true, this might be a reason to just get a brand new watch when the batteries die, since replacement of two batteries could equal the cost of the watch, especially if a jeweler were to charge you $20ish for installation of the two.

Adequate for the price
For casual and infrequent swimming/watersport use, this Casio Forrester watch performs as needed. I wore it in the ocean and pool several times on a recent vacation and had no problems, and I wear it on weekend hikes (when I remember to). I’m someone who prefers simpler gadgets with easy interfaces and fewer features, so I chose this one for its simplicity and straightforward, classic look. Although the watch face is a bit smaller than I expected, it’s not “busy” looking and therefore is easy to read. I bought it 6 or 7 months ago and haven’t had to adjust the time other than when moving into other time zones or doing seasonal clock changes. My only complaints are the Velcro being slightly irritating or itchy when the weather is humid or when I’m sweating on a trail, and the pin to adjust the time being tiny and hard to pull away from the watch body. Tweezers were needed. Obviously, you wouldn’t buy this watch for scuba diving or anything that requires rugged performance.

Thi s watch will show you a good time!
I love this watch. It’s my third one. Each has lasted 3-5 years. It’s simple, no nonsense and you don’t need to take a class to figure out how to use it. I particularly like the light feature- if I wake up in the middle of the night or an at a theater I don’t have to fumble for my phone to figure out how much sleep I’ve lost or how much longer I have to suffer through the movie! I wear it snorkeling, washing dishes and showering. No need to take it off at all.

Ya tenía el mismo modelo, de hace bastantes años, pero en otro color; la correa empezó a rajarse cerca de su enganche a la esfera, y como fue imposible encontrar repuesto de la correa compré éste de nuevo.

Super montre sport, très solide et avec un bracelet très pratique !C’est la deuxième identique que j’offre à mon mari, mais helas, il semble que ce modèle soit abandonné …Ce sera donc la dernière !

Good watch for kids. Too small for adult men.
