Casio World Time Digital Dial / Black Resin Strap AE-1000W- Watch

Happy with my order.I think there’s room for improvement in terms of seller’s precaution from damage of products, and towards how couriers handle the package.For the sellers, they could have put the product in another box, “box within a box” style. They could have also put more bubble wraps inside that said box to shock absorb any potential harm that could happen to the product. A bigger “fragile” sign or notice could have also been placed.For the courier, overall I can just say that they should up their service. Because I’m sure someone is not doing their jobs properly in their logistics. Though, they ship the parcels fast it’s just that the way the boxes and packages look when they arrive is the problem. They should have proper training on how to handle ... MoreHappy with my order.I think there’s room for improvement in terms of seller’s precaution from damage of products, and towards how couriers handle the package.For the sellers, they could have put the product in another box, “box within a box” style.

Great looking watch with nice features!

This Casio watch is very nice and its band is large enough for my wrist. Its usually hard to find one that fits this well. The features are nice and simple to figure out. The only thing I would like a little better is a stronger/brighter light function, but this one works fine. The digital time is easy to read, and I like the date and day also being shown. I definitely recommend this watch!

I like it except the tiny round dial in the upper ...

I like it except the tiny round dial in the upper right section is way too small to even see. Or I should say that the dial itself is fine (and actually really cool how it's indented yet the second markers run all the way up the sides) the problem is the Hour and Minute "hands" are WAY WAY too small to be seen - I have no idea why they didn't make a full solid line instead of tiny triangles for hands. And the "second-hand" is a tiny TINY little miniature dot. Really poor design, rendering that whole portion of the watch face entirely useless.Rest of the watch design works fine though.

My honest full details review

Bought this watch sometime in January. I can say that I do not have issues with Casio wristwatches.This watch is still in good shape. Display-wise, its perfect! The LCD is crisp and clear even if you look at it 1-2 meters away. The light is not that bad unlike its brother AE-1200WH (which I bought on Dec2016..hihi). It only has 1 orange LED which can brighted the digital clock in night time or in a dark area with an option to lit either 1sec or 3sec. Programming-wise, I can say it's easy, so long you know how to read ans understand the user manual. Battery-wise, with my old Casio, I did not have the chance of replacing battery since it was still working perfectly for years until I lost it.I can say it is durable amd reliable. I am bit of a rugged person and I ... MoreBought this watch sometime in January. I can say that I do not have issues with Casio wristwatches.This watch is still in good shape.

Battery-wise, with my old Casio, I did not have the chance of replacing battery since it was still working perfectly for years until I lost it.I can say it is durable amd reliable. I am bit of a rugged person and I tend not to remove my watch most of the time, unless im switching watches. The resin strap is reliable as well, although in the long run it tends to break but with my lost watch, it did not break after more than a year of use, and not being removed from my wrist. It is lightweight as a typical plastic watch.Design is amazing. A combo of digital and analog in Liquid Display is awesome. Digital clock can be switched to different or preferred time zones but the Analog Display will stay to the set time on T-1(you can pre-set 4 time zones, mine is set to T1- SIN, T2-NYC, T3-LON & T4-PAR).Beeps & Alarms are audible enough to catch your attention. Hourly Beeps are helpful. You can also set up to 5 Alarms to beep once or recurring everyday. If you are in a meeting, the Mute function is also there not to distract you and others.Stopwatch and Countdown Timer is pretty easy to use too.All-in-all, its a cool wristwatch! I love it! And with its attractive orange color, it really suits my preference. Sporty yet decent at its most simple use and functionality, timekeeping.Thanks Watch Portal!

Nice Watch

I really like the watch, it does everything I wanted and would have rated it 5 stars but for the fact I could not remove links from the strap to fit my wrist. I have easily removed links from a previous Casio watch but this strap is different from any that I have seen before and there was no clue in the manual how to do it. I could not find any information on the web site either. I solved the problem by taking the strap of an old Casio watch. Why do manufacturers make changes to items that work fine and why do they not give decent instructions with the product!!!

Nice watch with a few issues.

Overall I like the watch with the following issues. It's pretty easy to accidentally change times zones and think you've either lost or gained time. The analog face is pretty useless as it is too small, I didn't realize that that's what that was at first. If I had it to do over, I'd go for one with a larger digital display for a quick time check as the angle it's at means I do have to twist my wrist more to see it. And I prefer a 'backlight' display versus the single light to the side, those also are easier to read at night. I do like the count down timer, stop watch feature and ease of time zone changes although I had one before that made seeing that I had changed time zones easier to realize. Finally, although the included band is not bad, I prefer the Speidel ... MoreOverall I like the watch with the following issues.

Finally, although the included band is not bad, I prefer the Speidel Twist-O-Flex metal watch bands so I changed it out. I got so used to those when I owned a photo lab- I could easily slide the watch up my arm while putting my hands in a dark box and prevent ripping the cloth sleeves. It's also easier to slide off, not buckle or clips to undo but that may not be the best if you're using an axe or swinging a bat as it could fly off then- I suppose it's best to remove a watch anyway then. The ten year battery life also sold me, nothing like a dead watch battery to render a watch useless- most others have a two year life and it's getting harder and harder to find a place that sells or will install a watch battery. Overall, if I had it to do over, I'd go with a simpler display- the 'gadgets' may look cool but are rather useless in day to day use.

Perfect retro piece

I’ve owned the original plastic version of this watch for nearly 20 years and when I saw this one I had to upgrade. Obviously, having had the original for so long, this was as easy as anything for me, but it will be for you too. A world time function, complete with world map, 5 alarms, timer and stopwatch - this is everything you need from a timepiece while looking stylish too. The strap was a nuisance to adjust, but didn’t take long. Absolutely recommended.
