Casio Wave Ceptor Men's Watch WV-59DE-1AVEG

Very easy to read with large digits for the time and I like the rectangular face. It tells me everything I want to know on one screen - time, day, date, and has the standard Casio features of stopwatch, timer, alarm etc. With the press of a button it can also tell you the time in another country. What more do you need? One bonus is it can display the date in the proper format - day/month, and not the annoying US format of month/day. The light is very good and illuminates the whole screen with a pleasant blue glow that makes it easy to see the time in the dark. I found it very simple to set up and set the time using the radio time signal (I live in the UK where I assume the signal is strong). I think some people have found this difficult to do but I believe the trick is to ensure you set your home location first, then the watch knows what signal to look for. On "manual" setup it found the correct time within a few minutes, and apparently it will do this automatically if you put it on a window ledge overnight. I sometimes go to Canada so it'll be interesting to see how it performs there. The bracelet looks pretty smart too, although some people have said it's a bit lightweight. Does the job for me though. Bit fiddly to adjust the length, but there are plenty of videos on the Web to show how it's done. Some people have also pointed out that the 'glass' is the highest part of the watch so it's likely to get scratched especially as it's not the highest quality of glass. That might be true, only time will tell, but what do you expect for a watch this price. Before purchasing it I did quite a bit of Web research to find a watch that did what I wanted, didn't have a fussy display, kept great time and was a sensible price. This was the one I chose and I'm very pleased with it.

Great Watch, Almost every thing 100%??The Strap!! I have average size wrists but this strap is way to big.Having a little knowledge in the watch market I decide to have a goand remove 2 links. I removed the fastener link no problem.Then started to remove the two links in the strap. Not obvious,So checked YouTube videos and bingo found what I thought I was looking for.Removed the required pin only to find that Casio have changed to strap.I CANNOT find a video for this strap. I have very easily got the pin out butthere appears to be 2 more pins which I cannot remove. If any one has founda way please let me/us know how. I went to my local jeweller/watch repairerbut he is closed until 9th January.Set up took 5 minutes, having the day and month the right way round is great.Why did Casio make this strap so difficult??Update:Anyone trying to remove links in this strap I have succeeded and here is how:Decided how many links to remove (I took out 2)1) Remove the spring pin in the clasp.2) On the inside of the bracelet look for the plate with an arrow and a dimple to the one end.3) With a small screwdriver carefully push the dimple slightly down and outward. The end will push out.It will take a lot of effort. Watch your fingers and hands and legs if doing on your lap. Don't let the driver slip!!4) When you have pushed out 2/4mm with a pair of small pliers pull this bar out.5) Repeat the above on the next link. This will allow you to remove 1 link, to remove 2 links remove the 3rd arrow bar.6) That's the easy bit. You will see a centre bar which was holding in the arrows bars. You need to keep one of theseThis is the tricky bit, you need to bend this centre piece 90 degrees and twist one end into the middle. You should beable to lift this bar out and refit to the bracelet (just look at the other ones and it should be obvious).7) Once you have this in place refit the other piece of the bracelet to the centre bar (as before).8) Refit the spring pin to the clasp. Note there are two holes to allow for some adjustment.Sorry if this sounds difficult but it is harder to explain then do.Now every thing is 110%. Casio need to revise this strap to make it easier to adjust.Phil

This watch is exactly what I wanted, large clear display, able to change the date to the right way round for the UK market, and calibrates itself daily so you always have the exact time. Bought it September 2013 but it reset itself June 2014. I sent it to Casio for repair under warranty but they said the parts were no longer available and offered me an alternative off their website up to the value of £50. The available watches were more expensive than most other retailers and they didn't have a comparable watch I liked on their UK website, however they were selling the same watch on their European website but they wouldn't let me have one from there. I asked for a refund but was told it was not an option so I contacted Amazon who said a same model replacement would be with me in two days, which it was. I returned my old one which was free postage.In summary a great watch for the money, very slow and rubbish customer service from Casio, excellent value and service from Amazon again which has guaranteed my future custom and recommendations.

As I am diabetic consequently my eyesights nowhere near as good as it should be. I had this watch recommended to me by a friend and now I have it I can see why. The display is brilliantly clear, day or night with the backlight. The digits are all well spaced and easily readable. All the functions on it are functional and work perfectly. The only problem Ive had with it was adjusting the strap, but a quick look at a video on youtube and the job was done in 5 minutes and it now fits perfectly. Multiple time zones and auto Daylight Savings adjustment save the twice yearly faffing about.The hourly chime is great as is the alarm. The whole watch is great for those with clumsy fingers and poor eyesight.The only thing I wont recommend is the seller TICTACTIME, get one from anyone other than them.If I could give it 6 stars it would be worth it.
