The character of a world clock underlines the fine collection of 30 world time code (UTC, LON, PAR, ATH, JED, THR, DXB, KBL, KHI, DEL, DAC, RGN, BKK, HKG, TYO, ADL, SYD, NOU, WLG, PPG, HNL, ANC, LAX, DEN, CHI, NYC, SCL, RIO, FEN, RAI) in 2-second intervals on the outer bezel around the dial, the overall diameter of 34 mm diameter of the sapphire watch crystal increased to 40 mm.
The four pushers are symmetrical and adapted to the overall appearance. Time, date and day display are quickly and reliably read. Feasible, but a little more difficult is already reading the world time of the 24-hour display of the smaller dial. But with just a few button presses can be local (large dial) and Universal Time (small dial) exchange each other: if one only The necessary keystrokes abroad by heart - see my exclusive Quick Start Guide.
Something was laboriously working with the manual. I put the small print Handbüchlein right back in the can and me under user guidance 5073 "on the Internet (not on Casio pages!) Loaded to googelnde PDF file - six columns printed pages A4 with sketches and all necessary instructions . Setting and changing the clock, the only analog displays with the pointers are used cleverly for system status queries, I assembled for travel wallet below Quick Start Guide -. so that gets me the Time Setting easier remembered.
I have long compared and flirted with a world-Funkzeituhr as the Junghans Apollo MF. The model "Made in Germany" is but another 50% more expensive than this Casio. And the inset at the Junghans small digital display for day and date does not appear to me really appealing. As it does this Casio that (with "Japan Movement, cased in Thailand") almost "Made in Japan" is already better. In particular, the technology used by Casio and Citizen to use a solar dial for energy is exemplary. Adé, battery change!
And here are the short instructions for the trip instead of prompting 5073 "(for your wallet or stored" note "on the mobile phone).
