CASIO - Men's Watch AE-1000WD-1AVEF

I bought this after the wristband of the exact same watch I bought 14 years ago finally broke; the battery of that watch lasted 13 years of normal usage for the record. I basically wore it at all times and never took it off; to bed and shower. It is definitely waterproof and can survive years of wear. 14 years ago I bought this watch for £25; this new one I bought for £41.59 and I'd still say it is worth every penny. it has all the functions I need (time, timezones, 4 world clocks you can set, lights to see at night) and functions that are handy but I basically never use (stopwatch, timer, alarms), there is a small world map to show the time zone and a digital analogue version of the clock if you want to see the position of the clock hands. The wristband is also made of stainless steel which I really love (it's rather hard to find digital watches at a lower price with metal wristbands it seems), albeit it was extremely hard to get the links out of this one to adjust the size; that is my only criticism for this watch.

This watch is fantastic value for money, it's very well made and feels robust, and has all the features you need. It has a nice clear display and the resolution of the digital representation of the analogue dial is tremendous, the world map is nice and crisp too. The watch is quite large (in wrist surface 'area' and in depth) but not too imposing, and it comes with a nice long strap of which the links can easily be removed (without being taken to a specialist as one other review has noted). It took me about 5 minutes to take out 4 links to make it fit my wrist, all that is needed is a pin/paperclip or similar to push out the links. I think the watch would be too big for a child/teenager, because as someone in their late 20's it feels just right on my wrist, any bigger and I wouldn't be comfortable wearing it. The LED light is OK but not brilliant. Taste is subjective, but I think Casio have made a modern/retro watch that is kind of cool in its own right. For the money I'd highly recommend getting one!

This is unbeatable value for a rugged watch for the week end. I am always working on the house, garden etc at the week end and previous expensive watches seem to end up stopping or the bracelet breaks. This Casio £20 job tells the time, date, day and has myriad other functions too small to read. But if you can be bothered to work them out there are loads of extra odds and sods. [e.g. stop watch, World Location, weather in Cumbria, time on Mars, etc etc.] Easy to adjust bracelet which could teach Breitling a trick or two and way you go. If you need a cheap, waterproof week end time piece I recommend it highly. Four **** because I can't read some of the displays. Time and date - great!

Love the watch, typical Casio quality & very good value for money. Plenty of features to keep you happy & a nice stylish design which comes with a 10 year battery life. Looks good on the wrist & its display is easy to read. The supplied manual is small print so recommend downloading a pdf copy from Casio' s official site. The bracelet is quite nice but can be a pain to adjust. It is necassary to search the web for instructions on how to remove links if the bracelet is too large as the user manual does not cover this procedure. There are many YouTube videos on how to adjust various watch bracelets just make sure the video relates exactly to the bracelet fitted to this Casio watch. Typical of this type of watch is the illumination, on this watch it is adequate, no more. Recommended.

Product fine and looks / works great. Bit fiddly to adjust metal strap but managed in end. Check YouTube for help. Main concern is the strap catch does not always lock into place, so sometimes the strap springs open. Still early days yet so may improve with use.

Best Watch ever

Always been a Casio fan and needed a cheap watch for the gym, playing sports and everyday use. I am writing this review after using the watch everyday for over a year. Picked the watch for under £20 so it was a bargain. All I do is rinse it after being in the pool or after gym and wipe it with my towel. No corrosion not Pros Big buttons Waterproof (everyday use) Clear display Descent presentable watch Quality good Has DST so automatically adjust then clock goes front and back (UK use) Good battery life - Still the original Cons Very light in weight (this may be a pro for others but I like a watch with a big of weight) The display light is very dim and not worth using Overall The watch doesn't disappoint. You wont regret it giving it as a gift to your children or grandchildren or using it for everyday use

I bought this item on Amazon. And I was contacted by her majesty customs telling me that it's being held till I pay £12.80 duty but when I got the watch it looks very very poor build for a Casio....I have been wearing Casio for 30 years and they are built like Tonka toys....this watch is of very very poor quality.if you put the light on you can see the bulb . HOW EVER I do have to say the seller paid the duty back. So I thank him for that but nothing else if your wondering where the watch came from was Singapore but I paid for UK postage.

Ik heb eerder een andere variant van dit horloge gehad waarvan na 10 jaar het bandje het begint te begeven. Het horloge ziet er mooi uit en zit prettig. Het is mogelijk er zelf schakels uit te halen met het juiste gereedschap, maar dat laatste is wel een vereiste.

Pour le prix la montre remplie tres bien ses fonctions . Casio étant une très bonne marque, le prix est tres raisonnable (30e pour ma part sans frais de livraison merci le prime)

Faccio questa recensione a distanza di ben sette anni dalla data di acquisto. Ho usato e "maltrattato" questo orologio, immerso in acqua di mare e dimenticato bagnato, sbattuto contro muri e muretti di vario genere, ma si rifiuta di arrendersi. Il quadrante è assolutamente pragmatico, dà tutte le informazioni utili senza ciclare schermate, e la presenza dei due tasti +/- permette nelle regolazioni di orario, timer e cronometro sia di aggiungere che sottrarre velocemente, molto comodo. La lucetta potrebbe essere più potente, è un po' lanternino tremolino, ma nulla di grave. Il beep delle sveglie in compenso è bello forte. Il cinturino Casio è fantastico, leggero, e il meccanismo di chiusura vi da la sicurezza di averlo praticamente saldato al polso. Talvolta per la ruggine capita che i tasselli del cinturino si sgretolino e al minimo strattone c'è il rischio di perdere l'orologio. Dal 2016 fino ad oggi sono PERFETTI. Onestamente la robustezza costruttiva rapportata al prezzo è sbalorditiva. Per riassumere, questo Casio è perfetto chi desidera al polso un orologio leggero, affidabile e che non teme le incurie dei più sbadati. Piccolo prezzo, enorme resa.
