Casio Digital Watches: Casio Men's W728HD-1AV Illuminator Sport Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was first drawn to this watch by it's looks and the fact that it's a Casio.I've had great luck with Casio's over the years, and the fact that this sported looks I really liked made it a pretty easy selection ... along with the the great price. I've had it for several months now and I can say I'm very happy with it. I'd give it a 5 star rating except for the following design short falls I think warrant some mention:

1)All watches that feature plastic strap pieces (also sometimes referred to as resin) will, in time, develop cracks and splits in them if they are exposed to moisture ... sweat, humidity, water ... and not dried promptly after exposure.Knowing this, I fail to see why a mostly metal watch would be made with any such parts.Since they are bound to fail before the metal parts, this counts for me as a design flaw.

2)While I love the look and design of this watch and the indiglo back light, like some other digital watches, I find the location of the main time numbers to be a bit LOW in the LCD window.Because of the way LCD displays work, there is a difference in depth between the upper surface of the watch crystal and the location of the blacknumbers.This being the case, if the numbers are located low in the LCD window (as they are in this watch), when you tip your wrists to view the dial, if you don't tip it far enough toward yourself, part of the bottom of the numbers can be obstructed from view, which, depending on what time it is, can make it hard to tell the time.This is a common design shortcoming with LCD watches, and this one is no different.It's not a deal breaker, but it can be annoying when you casually go to check the time and find you have to RE-check because your first glance really didn't tell you what time it was clearly enough to be certain.

All in all a great watch ... light weight, attractive, easy to use, great glow effect in the dark, well designed buttons ... I can highly recommend.
