Casio Men's Casual Sport Watch (W753-1AV)

 (57 customer reviews)

Pro's:

1. 5 alarms with one of them having a snooze option.

2. Moon Phase and Tide forcasting, you can advance to dates in the future on the moon screen and can view the tides of that day (I can predict the tide on a specific future date).

3. You don't need to hit any buttons to determine the current tide/moon phase.

4. Countdown timer, some casio's do not have this option, but this one does.

5. Dual Time Zone.

6. Sun Compass (show you an angle and you line the sun up with the angle and you can determine where North is). Each dot/mark on the watch is 6 degrees.

7. Every screen but the stopwatch show the current time.

8. Stopwatch has split times (however not reviewable - see cons)

9. Band is very comfortable with a strong buckle and is not bulky.

10. Pretty good instructions, good detail, shows the options.

11. The Price is great, other comparable watches (with...Read more

I bought this watch because i was going to the rainforests of africa for 3 months and needed an initial timekeep while i was in the capitol city but figured it wouldnt b as important in the rainforrest and would probably get really messed up, so i didnt want to spend alot of money on the watch. I did abuse the crap out of my watch but by the end of the trip it proved to work very well and a very good deal for under 25 dollars, i wanted to keep the watch but instead gave it away to an african friend of mine as a gift, im planning on buying another one because it was a great watch, very durable, no worries about getting it soaked/hitting it over a tree accidently/dropping it off a small cliff by accident (granted it did fall on leaves)... and the tide feature was nice when i was by the ocean, i didnt think it would work (or that the tides would b somewhat diff where i was) but it proved to be true and allowed me to know if i can leave town and get back on time or would the roads be...Read more

I own a lot of watches (something like 50 and I wear 20 of them actively.) I bought this watch as a vacation watch (I break it or lose it, it's okay.) I liked the phases of the moon and tide feature. However, in reality those features don't work so well. The Phases of the Moon works okay except the display is hard to read. The tide requires longitude, latitude and tidiludinal (or some such) setting that requires a $2.99 purchase at some surfer site for each beach you might want to visit. So, that feature is useless. The watch itself is less comfortable than other Casio and Timex plastic watches and it has a "bad plastic" smell to it that hasn't gone away. The back light is weak. The multi timezone feature is useless. For $17, it's not a bad deal, but if you've got a larger budget (say, $30 or $40) spring for a better watch, even if it's got fewer features.
