Casio Men's GW5600J-1 G-Shock Atomic Tough Solar Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Way back in 1982, I bought one of the first Casio 5000 models. It was incredibly accurate, easy to use, had a countdown timer (which I used a lot) and seemed set to last for ever. In 1988 I crashed my motorcycle, and smashed the crystal on my watch. I threw it in a drawer, bought a new cheap casio (with less functions) and carried on. 3 years later I found the smashed one in the back of the drawer. It was still working and only wrong by 15 seconds! I've had various other watches since then, (really missed the countdown timer), but the Casio G-shocks were all way too thick to suit me. I really fancied the new Solar Powered and Atomic Clock synced Casios, but they were still too thick (and didn't have a countdown timer).
Then I found the GW5600J. Based on the old 5000 series, Atomic, Solar Powered, 5 alarms and a countdown timer, full backlight. And the same style and thickness as my old 5000! Not thin, but not ridiculous either.
I've had it a week now, I love it, I expect it to last the rest of my life (this sucker is tough), and neat, clear, easy to use and accurate!
If you like digital watches (as opposed to analog), this is the one.

Casio Men's AW80D-7A Sports Chronograph Alarm 10-Year Battery Databank Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like a watch with analog hands, but with digital features.Since they are hard to find these days, I ordered this one.

The good:

The LCD portion of the watch is very easy to read.

The watch seems accurate so far.

The analog portion of the watch is controlled by the digital, so it should stay as accurate as the digital portion.(The minute hand clicks 1/3 of a minute every 20 seconds.)

The bad:

The digital portion of the watch has so many features that it is difficult to use.Do I really need three alarms?The watch can store 30 phone numbers in it.Ten years ago that could have been useful, but now I store all my numbers in my cell phone.To make use of all these features, I'd need to carry around the instruction manual (which is 100 pages long, if you include the English, Spanish, and warrantee--although the pages are small).

The watch has no second hand.Sometimes I like to use one to time short things.Yes, there is a built in stop watch, but it is as hard to use as all the other digital features.(But my guess is the lack of a second hand will extend battery life.)

The band grabbed the hair on my arm.I had to go out and buy a twist-o-flex.

There is no stem to set the analog portion of the watch.Instead, you go into handsetting mode in the digital portion, and push a button and wait for the hands to move forward to the correct time.To set the hands forward 11 hours to go off of DST took several minutes.

The watch has a DST setting.It sets the digital portion of the watch ahead an hour.But it doesn't automatically go back after DST ends.So you still need to adjust the watch.It's not much easier than just resetting the time.And it doesn't affect the analog hands.

The watch has a world time feature.You can quickly find out the time in Bangkok.But don't expect to use this on your vacation to keep track of the local time.Press any button and you will return to your local time.

The ugly:

The analog hands are hard to read.They are a light color on a white background.

There is too much writing on the watch.Not only is it ugly, but it is easy to confuse the "10 YEAR BATTERY" label next to the 3 for a minute hand.

There is a backlight for the analog portion at the push of a button.But it doesn't give quite enough light, and it goes out after a second even if you leave the button pushed in.There is no backlight for the digital portion.

(More customer reviews)I wear a G shock myself, so I was looking at the women models for my wife. She is a nurse and needed a durable flashy watch, and absolutely loves it. She has only had the watch for a couple of weeks, but my experience with my Gshock is that they are bullet proof. I have never broke a band or lost a button, and mine takes a ton of abuse!!

Casio Men's DW6600C-1V G-Shock Classic Digital Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of those time proven classic watches that is hard to sum up in a short review. The DW-6600 just happens to be the longest running G-Shock in production, without any real updates to the design. The DW-6600 that you buy today will be nearly identical to the DW-6600 you purchased in 1994. There are very few watches in the industry that are good enough to survive 14 years of production without change.

The odd twist to this watch's long running heritage is that most of the DW-6600's made in 1994 are probably still running strong, with just a battery change. This watch has a toughness of legendary proportions. And if the watch does ever start to show its age, spare straps, bezels and gaskets can be ordered cheaply through the Casio Service Center. Strap adapters are even available to convert over to a one-piece dive strap. If that weren't enough, steel face protectors can be ordered to further increase the watch's durability. The DW-6600 is a regular "tour de force". It's no wonder that the DW-6600 is a favorite of law enforcement, EMS, firefighters, and the military. The DW-6600 has even been officially issued to US Navy SEALs.

While this watch does not have many of the advanced features of newer model G-Shocks, the basic features that it does have are very well implemented, and simple to use. The "Target Time" feature is especially unique and quite useful. The LCD illumination of the DW-6600 is probably brighter than on any G-Shock ever made. Button protection is very good, while still allowing the buttons to be pressed fairly easily. One button press will hot-swap you between 12 hour time and military time.

If you are looking for something elegant and unassuming, you'd better run for your life right now. This is not a watch for dinner parties and eating small food from silver trays. Wearing a DW-6600, you'll look more at home at a roadhouse, fighting with the locals and spilling bear. The DW-6600 is an absolute beast of a watch, designed with layer upon layer of shock absorbing protection. If you want a watch that can take beating upon beating, and then ask for maybe a few more beatings, you've come to the right place.
