Tough, Durable, Water Resistant Watch Suitable for Outdoor Use
Color: Green, Style: Modern
I normally don't write many reviews; however, this watch is an exception. First, it is a $40 watch. On that premise, it will not have the Carbon Core associated with a GShock watch or an atomic clock function.
It does do the following REALLY well:
1) You set the clock once, and it keeps that exact time.
2) It is very water resistant. I spent a full 6 days, 12 hours a day, at Summer Camp getting BSA lifeguard certified. I never took off the watch. I swam 3 miles, dove 12 to 13 feet down retrieve dozens of 10 lbs anchors, and swam out to retrieved three exhausted swimmers. This watch didn't miss a beat.
3) The crystal can take a beating without scratching. The watch hit several canoe gunnels, face first and I can't find a scratch
4) it is very light weight and quite comfortable. I forgot I was wearing watch, even when doing water rescue exercises and people grabbing my wrists and the watch.
5) The analog watch hands are big and easy to read.
The digital display does take a few hours, for me, to fully understand how to program and get used to it. However, I can now easily cycle through day, date, and digital time. I believe that Casio keeps the digital seconds displayed because the analog hands lack a second hand. That may take some getting used to, but I learned to appreciate it.
In the end, this $40 watch does everything I need. I was looking for a durable watch with analog hands I could use for Boy Scouts, and the green model fit the bill. If you travel, which I don't, you have the World Time feature, but you must determine for yourself what features to prioritize.
For me it was:
1) Durable
2) Long life, Tough Solar for the win
3) Easy to read analog hands
4) very water resistant. I am not a diver, and 15 feet depth is the most I would expect to dive.
