Casio LCW-M170TD-2AJF [Solar Radio Clock Lineage] Titanium Band Watch Imported from Japan Jan 2023 Model Silver/Navy

Light, low profile, legible, understatedly classy, incredibly comfortable, and great functionality. I have a decent collection of watches, including substantially more expensive ones. I used to enjoy picking which watch to wear every day, but after I bought this one a year ago, I basically just wear this one all the time and the rest of my watches are just languishing. By far the best watch I’ve ever owned overall. Update: after two years, this watch has totally ruined my watch collecting hobby. It’s now the only one I ever wear. Update: three years on and it's still all I wear. Regarding the analog hands being slow-- there is an alignment function to ensure the digital and analog times align. Regarding the difficulty of setting/navigating. If other Casio watches don't confuse you, neither will this one. It's very easy to find the manual in English online.

I can't say enough about how great a watch this is. Other reviews describe that well. I love mine and am giving it five stars. But nothing is perfect, so there are a few issues. The three buttons have multiple functions and it is not easy -- for me at least -- to remember them all. The back of the case identifies them to some extent but only in a shorthand sort of way. Fortunately, I don't use most of the functions they control (timers and that sort of thing) and you really need them only when setting up the watch (setting the time zone, the language of the display, etc.). But you probably will want to use a few of them from time to time and that may require a trip to the internet to re-read the English-language instructions. Which is another issue. This is JDM watch -- Japanese domestic market, intended by Casio only for distribution in Japan. The instructions are in Japanese, though a few sellers may sometimes include an English version. As others have said, Casio's web site has them in English; you'll want to find and bookmark them in your browser. The digital readout is a bit odd. When displaying the day and date in English it uses two-letter abbreviations for the day rather than the three letters we're used to -- TU instead of TUE, for example. Don't know why, there's room for three. Also, the black bar that appears above the date to signify that the watch has received the WWVB radio signal -- which appears quite clearly in the Amazon product photo -- is hard to see except in bright light that comes from the proper direction (slightly below the watch face). And the digital display is not illuminated by the light on the dial. (One review complains that only the digital time display is accurate. What is accurate about the review is that the digital display can show the time. That watch was apparently defective.) One other thing about that product picture: the watch hands appear very clearly. But in fact the hands are slender; the hour hand can take a moment to spot, the second hand can be hard to find.

The watch keeps perfect time, looks great from a distance, and sits so lightly on my wrist that I barely notice it. However, the finishing is pretty sloppy up close, especially on the hands and indices. I immediately removed the bracelet and put a NATO strap on it.

Titanium, very light and Beautiful watch, unfortunately accurate time is shown only in digital form. Analog hands are running late and late. Very disappointing. Difficult to set time. I was able to do it after finding useful YouTube channel. I had to go back to my old Citizen

Excellent value. Lightweight, very comfortable. I like that I never have to worry about replacing the battery or adjusting the time. This replaced a similar Casio solar Wave Ceptor that I wore every day for 20 years. I wear a watch constantly, so my old Casio suffered from a scratched crystal. This has a much better crystal that has not scratched despite my carelessness. Easy to read, I find the light works rather well at night. I also like how it is easy to switch time zones--much easier than my old Casio. Google "LCW-M170TD-2A manual" for very easy initial setup, then never think about your watch again.

Wonderful watch. The enclosed directions are in Japanese, but if you google the model number and the word "manual" you can find a manual in English on the manufacturer's web site - you'll need it. But the watch is beautiful and lightweight - it's lighter than another titanium watch I have, which previously had been the lightest watch I own. It's quite comfortable. I took out a couple of links and put it on, then forgot I was wearing it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This watch is a japenese import, so that in and of itself was a pretty cool reason to pick this watch. With that in mind, i had to use the translator app on my phone with the manual. It took me a couple of days to figure out all of the controls and functionality. I love this watch after only 2 weeks of owning it. I’m kind of a watch snob, only wearing automatic movements. But after wearing this one, I fell in love! Time accuracy: Very accurate. New England resident and i am able to pick up the radio signal from Colorado. Even when i can’t, there are apps available to emulate the signal and keep the watch accurate to the millisecond NIST time. Value for money: Great value when compared to some of the other ani-digital watches i own. Battery life: Solar powered. I have worn the watch daily for 2 weeks and the battery hasn’t gone below “High” level at all.

I have numerous Casio watches. I have a couple of “square” digital watches, a waveceptor, a Proteck analog/digital, and 2 Oceanus titanium watches. This Lineage watch is my now favorite on looks alone. All are “atomic controlled and solar. This is a beautiful watch, and a great value.
