Casio Men's Waveceptor Solar Atomic Ana-Digi Sport Watch #WVA470DJ-1ACF Immediately

I've had this watch for a week now and I'm very satisfied. I've organized my comments into a series pros and cons:

Pros:

* Attractive: The silver color and analog face make this watch a bit dressier than my previous watches, which have all been black and digital.

* Automatic time setting: Truth be told, most watches nowadays are accurate enough even without this function, but it's nice to know that the time is always correct. I live about 1,200 miles from the radio time signal and I've had no problem with reception as long as I place the watch in the same spot near my bedroom every night.

* Light powered: Watch batteries last at least a couple of years, but I like not having to worry about changing mine (at least until the rechargeable battery dies). I've had one other "solar" Casio, and it only required topping up the charge by placing the watch in direct sunlight every few months. If you're outdoors a lot or don't usually wear long sleeves, as I do, you may get by just on routine exposure.

* Light weight: As another reviewer said, the resin case isn't very noticeable and it makes the watch light and comfortable.

Cons:

* Manual: The tiny manual is nearly impossible to read. Fortunately, it's easy to download as a PDF file from Casio's Web site. The instructions are fairly straightforward - I had no problem accessing all the watch's functions in a few minutes.

* Digital readout: This display serves a number of purposes, including showing the time or day/date, as well as the alternate time zone, stopwatch, and alarm functions. It's serviceable, but small. If you want digits that are easy to read, you'd be better off with an all-digital watch.

* Light: I wish it were a bit stronger. Also, it only illuminates the digital display, but that's enough to check the time at 3 AM.

Other comments:

* Band: It's attractive and comfortable. If you choose to resize it yourself, as I did, be aware that none of the instructions I found on the Web were completely accurate. As best as I can tell, the pins that hold the links in place are not polarized - both ends are identical. They're held in place by a tiny tapered collar that fits into a hole in one of the links that are being joined. It's very easy to lose the collar when you remove the pins, so be careful. Once I understood the system, it wasn't hard to do, but by all means have an expert do it if you're unsure.Get more detail about Casio Men's Waveceptor Solar Atomic Ana-Digi Sport Watch #WVA470DJ-1ACF.
