The upper-left "analog" display is actually quite useful in that it continues to display your local time when you're using the stopwatch, timer, or viewing another time zone. Its intent is far from being just cosmetic.

I’ve worn this watch every day for years, Nick’s review is spot-on. The plastic case wasn’t obvious from photos and the paint has worn right off all the exposed edges. The ‘glass’ has scratched, and the ridiculous thickness of the black plastic framing throws shadows over parts of the display. However, it’s packed with functionality, has the best Casio digits for clarity, and at the price if you thump it you don’t cry. Having said that, if they made one with an aluminium case, sapphire glass and a much thinner internal moulding I’d buy the watch again and pay a tenner more. Relegated my Citizen Blue Angels to the shelf, and that was ten times as much.

You crack me up! First time watcher and I’m subbed now. I agree a lot with you on this watch. Yes there is too much text, the face design isn’t used the best way possible, the plastic and “metal” parts sure are loud, it’s geeky, and it does feel cheap at times. Plus some girls may not have a flood down south when they see it. However, some lady’s might think your James Bond and she will have a octopussy to show you. I have to say this is one of those watches that’s so “nerdy” that it’s cool. This watch got me back into lcd watches. Since they are 15-30$, you’re able to mod them and get creative without worrying. With simple and super easy mods, all the problems you had are gone and it’s now my daily. Removing unwanted text, changing the leds and flipping the polarized film, swapping bands and some paint have truly changed it. Even the woman loves it now. People ask how much it was, and they are blown away when they find out it’s from Walmart and under 30$. Anyway, cheers👌

I've been looking for a cheapo quartz watch for a while now, and this Casio's budget bond gadget aesthetic is really speaking to me. Opted for the black version with the plastic band (at half the cost!) instead of this one with the faux-steel case.

I've always enjoyed your knife reviews, good to see you do the watch I just ordered.

This is arguably the best watch you can get for under 50 dollars. It's not just a great watch for the price; it's a great watch, period. So many functions, a stylish appearance, a 10 year battery, good water resistance, light and comfortable. One has to be a real nitpicker to find flaws in it. There are a few, to be sure, but quite minor. Which is extraordinary, given the price. Just consider all the far more expensive watches whose flaws are numerous and more serious.

great, humorous and helpful review. multiple alarms just sold it for me. thanks nick

I've had this watch for 6 months now and since I got it it's become my de facto watch. Even the wife noticed I don't really wear all my other watches anymore, even much more expensive ones. She even asked why I wear this watch even when I'm home, is it an automatic? (Face-palm!) This watch isn't just a watch, it's a tool. I actually find the timer, stop watch, alarm and world time quite useful and the digits are fun to watch as they increment (I must be the only guy in the world who finds this fun). The world time is useful for knowing the time difference between your place and some other part of the world, like when someone went abroad and I didn't know the time difference and I used the watch to find out what time it is there because we needed to keep in touch. Once you know the time difference of course you can easily mentally add or subtract the time difference without using the watch. The crystal scratches really easily but nothing a bit of toothpaste and buffing it while I'm on the toilet in the morning can't fix. The only other thing I noticed is, contrary to what Nick said about this watch gaining a fraction of a second every day, mine loses a fraction of a second a day, and doing the math I think it'll lose about 10 seconds a month. No big deal. I can easily advance the watch a couple of seconds every week or so. And coming from automatics, can I really complain? 😁 Nick was right. This is a very nice watch at a very nice price.

I just ordered this gem. For me, it is an absolute winner. Cheap, but highly functional. I own several Casio watches, G- shock too. But this is iconic! The only thing a hate about Casio, is the openings for the attached bracelet. Makes it very hard to replace, if necessary.

I have been wearing this watch for over a year. Kind of my work watch. I pretty much agree with everything you said about it. The goods and the bads.

I have to say, Casio makes the best inexpensive watches on the market, as far as I'm concerned. I've owned quite a few over the years, and they really took a beating, whether it was in the ocean, playing baseball or playing in dirt as boys tend to do. The only watches I found to be as sturdy are Swatches. For a plastic watch, Swatches were indestructible.

The 'analog-digital' display up in the left corner actually does give some functionality. It is always displaying the time in your 'home' time zone. So that when you move to another zone in the digital (main) display you can still see your 'home' time. I agree it should be more legible, but it does serve a purpose.

I found the small analog-digital display useful when I'm in different modes like the count-down timer and stopwatch mode I can still tell the current time.

Turn the analog/digital clock in the upper left corner into a digital compass. Then use the small line box thingy next to it to graph barometric pressure and it would be amazing! I love the kitchy world map thing.

Just bought this on a trip at a Fred Meyer's for $27.99 on sale. I normally wear either automatic Seiko or Invicta watches, (and an Apple Watch) but I think this is my daily driver. It really looks great and includes useful features, particularly the world time.

Man you cracked me the hell up. Loved it, bought the watch!

Just want to point out that the watch your reviewing is one of a series of "re-issues" of classic 80's Casio face layouts. The one from the 80's was all black-rubber material, and IIRC did not have the world map in the upper right. Instead I believe it had the clock face on the left and a kind of circular chronometer on the upper right. It was out around the the same time as the TS-1200. It had had a very clear mode cycle: Clock, Alarm, Dual Time (the one without the map just used 3 letter codes for the time zones), Timer and SW. It was impossible to get confused. I have this watch you reviewed and it is a mess to navigate. I think part of the problem is the decision to eliminate the recessed "adjust" button, but I might be getting my wires crossed. The designers were more limited then in what the chips could handle in terms of dynamic input. Now its a free for all and as a result they don't bother to think about what is and isn't user friendly.

This is what you wear when traveling, so as to not attract too much attention to muggers...if you wander in the wrong neighborhood.
