Customer Review

As a sportsman, I needed a watch with stopwatch and countdown rehearsal. My ideal would have been a time to multiple intermediate times and 2 sequential countdown but I have not found my happiness. So I turned to the first price that had a living wage and that was that watch.
=> The advantages:
- Time of 24.00 to 1 / 100s (accurate to second beyond 59min59,99), with only 1 lap time as possible
- Countdown 24:00 (repeat auto enabled / disabled), accurate to the second (beep pdt 10s at the end of counting)
- Waterproof 5 bar (enough for lap swimming, not for diving)
- Light to carry, powerful enough yellow light, easy to use, metallic gray paint well with casing with metal bracelet (it does not swear).
- Shows received 1 day before the date announced
=> The cons:
- The interim chrono time is obtained by pressing the watch knob outcropping just the housing (difficult to access can miss it and miss its time). The fourth button is not visible in the top left of the photo.
- Single alarm (contrary to what one might think by reading the manual on the site casio). The alarm can be set to hour (eg getting up every day at 7:00) but also dated (which could have been useful for a birthday). However, if we enter a date (eg, 23/08 7:00), the watch will sound on 23/08 at 7:00 only (it does sound more other morning at 7:00 am, for that you need to delete the date). But if I remove only the day of the date (if I leave in August programmed 7:00) then the watch will sound every day of August at 7:00 and then sound again. Conversely, if I delete the month only (if I let programmed dated 23, 7:00), so the watch ring 23 of each month at 7:00 (which has no use). The ideal would be to have a second alarm to exploit this form of programming that is not useful if one needs his alarm each morning.
- She has no 2nd local time as I have already read it (not useful in my case)
- Plastic Glass (scratched so eventually you should remove his watch to tinker)
- Plastic housing. Too bad casio put plastic around its watches. With casio we must choose between a functional watch or a nice watch, they are not able to associate 2. In 1984 I had a similar shows (not waterproof and without timer) but all metal and melody for 15 euros. Even watches sold on the sidewalk are better finished. Although I take care of my watch, I already took two junkies and each time the metallic gray paint of the box disappears. I think in a few years this watch will still work as well but will be much less pretty to watch.
Conclusion: For 27 euros, this watch provides everything I expected it (the screen I bought a watch 400 euros that did not last 10 years while my previous casio had held me 12 years) . Too bad that the box is plastic (or resin but this is the same thing). However from the point of view quality-functionality / price I recommend it.

Highly recommended! 68 Rank: 5/5
