CasioWaveceptor Men's Quartz Illuminator Alarm Chronograph Watch with Black Resin Band (Model: WV200A-1AV)

As a long-time user of Casio watches (30+ years) I recently was in the market for a new watch after my old one had taken a beating and was due to be replaced. Now, after having this watch for a week or so I am just as happy and impressed with it as the first day it arrived.First, the atomic time-keeping feature is something that is most helpful, and it's not a new experience for me since I also have this feature on a dressy Casio watch given to me by my wife for our anniversary a few years ago. It insures that a person never has to worry about making sure the watch is set to the correct time frequently updating itself from the atomic time clock in Colorado.Another thing that attracted me to this watch is the mineral crystal, unlike most digital watches that have a plastic crystal these days. This feature--coupled with a raised bezel around the perimeter--helps to prevent scratches caused by day-to-day wear and tear, especially when worn in a work environment. It also has a stainless bezel around the perimeter rather than plastic, which gives the feeling and appearance of better quality. My daily-wear watches do not lead an easy life, frequently exposed to water submersion, bumps, jolts and other abuse, so I feel confident that the design of this one should hold up pretty well.The multi-line display is also a pleasing characteristic. Unlike some models that have all sorts of gaudy dials, colors and other useless info, this one somewhat no-nonsense and practical. Rather than cramming all the info into 1 or 2 small LCD lines, this one has 3 lines which concurrently display the day of the week (along with the alarm and chime setting), date and time. The bottom line showing the time is made up of larger characters than the others which is helpful when quickly glancing at the display to check the time of day (or stopwatch, timer, etc, depending on the current mode).One thing that is always a "must" for me when choosing a watch is a reasonable amount of waterproofness. This one is rated for 200 meters which is more than enough for the frequent splashes and immersions due to many different activities in which I participate. I never have to worry about taking it off when swimming, cleaning/washing items or other wet conditions.To sum it up, this is a great watch and I would recommend it in a heartbeat if you need a rugged daily-wear watch that looks good but isn't overly "gadgety".

I've been a loyal Casio customer for going on 20 years. I've worn the G-Shock GW7900B for probably the last 8 years or so. but the older it got the more spendy it got. That one is solar powered and the battery kept dieing on me every 18 months or so the last few years. It's going out again so instead of forking over another $50 + shipping to send the7900 in to get the battery replaced, i found this watch.I love it. Not only is my other watch getting older, so are my eyes. and this WV200A has a larger font i guess you could say so it's easier to read. There aren't as many bells and whistles on this watch as my other, and i wasn't sure i'd like that, but i was wrong. I like not having all those extra functions i only occasionally used.What this watch does have --Atomic timekeeping, so you never have to worry about resetting the time every time change-Large easy to read numbers-US mm/dd/yyyy format-Timer (default set to 60 minutes)-Stopwatch-1 AlarmThe options are easy to find and set, like the hourly chime, daylight savings (on, off, auto)The only thing i don't like, and this isn't the watch's fault, it's my location, is that it won't manually sync to the atomic time servers. I live in the mountains, and the signal here is spotty at best. I have to drive south an hour to the desert area for the signal to sync. Which isn't a big deal, i'm down there at least once a month anyway.The band is a little small for my wrist, but that was expected, i'm a big guy, everything not custom ordered is small.

I am an airline pilot flying for a major US airline. I have owned a Citizen Skyhawk for the past 15 years. It was stolen from my hotel room several weeks ago. Many of my co-workers use Citizen watches ($200-400) and many others are Breitling fans ($3000-7000 on average). I was walking through Walmart the other day and decided to have a look at what they had just for the heck of it. I found this Waveceptor to have all the functions of my Citizen and has an atomic clock sync (which I haven't got to work yet by the way). I like that the normal watch mode displays (from top to bottom) Day of week, month-day-year, home time zone (easily changeable when I go on trips) and has indiglo function. It was hard to see the hands of my Citizen watch at night even though they were supposed to glow in the dark. The next function has time for world cities (from top to bottom) displays city 3-letter code, home time xx:xx / +/- UTC (for chosen city), and chosen city's local time. The watch can display time in several languages and date formats, military time if desired, has a timer, stop watch , and alarm as well as a screen that tells you when the watch was last synced to atomic time. The only problem I have had as mentioned early is the complexity in getting the watch to update with the atomic time. It's a somewhat cumbersome process of placing the watch in a window at night, unobstructed, and even then, the instructions say it may have trouble getting a signal. I guess I need to be closer to Colorado Springs!I would highly recommend this watch for the value and functionality. A great work watch, and at $32 from Amazon, I can afford to have it stolen now and again and just pick up another.

And he love it, really good quality

I thoroughly enjoyed this budget-friendly watch, the atomic clock calibration worked phenomenally! Very durable as it should have broke a long time ago given what I I've put it through, but what finally broke the camel's back was a violent metal mosh pit and getting pinned up against the barricade at a Knocked Loose concert. (A guy in the pit got knocked out and they had to stop the show, this watch is tougher than him). Can't recommend this enough for people who need a durable watch that gives accurate on the time within a seconds tolerance, is very scratch resistant, fits nicely and is a good value for its money.
