Casio Wave Ceptor Men's Watch WV-59E-1AVEG

I really bought this for the retro look, it's nice when people see it and I used to have one of them, then the surprised look when you tell them it's new, the watch it's self is really nice and super accurate I did flick through the instructions, which were very clear and precise in how to set the watch up, but once set up is complete you can turn the signal of if you wish I left mine on as I won't be using the watch it's self from midnight to 0600. You really don't want to be pressing buttons between these hours because if you do while the watch is receiving a signal it will cause problems for yourself and the watch. I am not to keen on the strap it's self, it feels and looks cheap because it is but I will replace that for something more substantial and the actual face of the watch is acrylic so it will scratch up very easy so have a couple of tubes of poly watch at the ready, and try to source a screen protector. Then the issue of 50 meter water💧resistance so your ok in the shower 🚿 and the paddling pool, but for the money you can not grumble its a cracking little watch once you set it up correct, be nice if casino made the same watch with a decent strap sapphire crystal display and a decent strap but then it would probably be out of our price range 😉 would I recommend you buy this watch of course I would for what it cost it's a cracking piece of kit. Easy peesy to set up. Enjoy 😉

Travelled across Europe and South Africa and the watch self-adjusted as I went, perfectly. Same again all the way home. Quality made item with easy to read display and controls. Highly recommend, great value for the quality and functions. Looks very stylish and fits well, good quality comfortable strap with wide range of adjustment.

I have tried several different models of "smart watch". I never really found the notifications useful, and having to recharge a smart watch every couple of days was a pain. However, the smart watches did have one benefit of always showing exactly the correct time.I decided to go back to a "dumb watch" for the battery life, but didn't want to go back to a watch that is only "approximately correct" now that I had gotten used to a watch that was always the correct time. So, I bought one of these. The receiver does not run continuously, but rather activates overnight.When I took it out of the box it had a last synchronise date approximately 18 months before (presumably when it was manufactured), yet the time was only approximately 2 minutes out. This would suggest that drift when not receiving a signal is less than 2 minutes per year. So, even if you were to spend several months sleeping in locations with no signal it would still keep time reasonably well. Under normal circumstances it re-synchronises every night so will be precise to within a fraction of a second even if it fails a couple of nights in a row.My PC clock is synchronised on-line and set to display seconds. They are both so closely synchronised that I can not see any difference - they both tick over at exactly the same time as far as my eyes can tell. No way I could achieve that level of accuracy with a normal watch...I have not properly tested the water resistance by swimming or anything because I don't really do that and as far as I am concerned 50M just means "you can get it wet". I have, however, worn it in the shower a few times without a problem. (Although, I normally remove my watch when I shower because as a child I realised that the gunk that kept building up on my watches was due to shampoo etc...)

I like the appearance of this watch, particularly the chromed (?) stainless steel body. As with all radio controlled watches it keeps meticulously accurate time. I cannot comment on the other features: stopwatch, alarm, time around the world as I do not use them.It operates very similarly to my last Casio Wave Captor, except that scrolling thro time zones is a one way process - there is only an east bound button. If, for example you go to a European city and advance the time via the World Time mode, that is easy, you just press button D once or twice. Coming home is a different story as you have to scroll through all the remaining 46 or 47 cities to get back to London. If you keep button D pressed, however, you can scroll continuously and quickly so it's not such a big deal.My problem is with the strap. It catches on the sleeve of anything I wear: shirt, jumper, fleece, jacket and getting to tell the time can be a frustrating exercise, whether it is loose or tight. Also, you cannot lie the watch flat, because of the springiness of the strap.My last such watch had a metallised plastic body and a stainless steel bracelet which was much smoother in operation. After a while the metallising wore off the plastic which then looked cheap and nasty. Pity that bracelet is the wrong size for this watch!The above features may not put you off, in which case I would recommend it: it's a nice looking very accurate watch.Although I do like this watch, after a week of wearing it, I'm not sure I'm going to keep it, because of the difficulty of reading it, especially when out and about with multiple layers on.
