CasioWave Ceptor Illuminator Multi Band Watch

This is such a good watch alongside many many other great offerings from Casio. The size and shape and details make it look good for a lot of situations not too big not too many ornamental elements. Of course, the wave receptor radio is a very nice feature as is the world time. Illumination works well, not as hard to set or set up as some suggested pretty easy, especially with the guidance online. It’s built very rugged probably the most rugged non-G-Shock Casio I’ve seen. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall look and function, especially in tan. Highly recommended great value.

Casio continues to amaze me with value for what you get. For the price, this watch defies G-Shocks by leaps and bounds. Not too long ago, you’d have to be well above $100 to get a watch that has atomic timekeeping, and you still do with many brands. This sub $40 watch therefore is a steal. Like others have said, read the instructions. It’s not hard to set up if you are remotely familiar with Casio watches. In the middle of the night, it will re-sync itself to the exact time and you won’t even notice. Aesthetics are great too. I love the desert sand color of the band with black trim on the case, which is not too big and it’s not small - perfect size. The digits are very legible. The date is a little small but who cares. The backlight is really great too and has a nice orange/amber glow that stays on for a couple seconds after you tap the button. This watch has moved itself to the top of my daily rotation….highly recommend.

Another classic Casio that does as Casios do - work. Some reviewers claim that you can't set the time yourself on these if it can't receive the atomic radio signal. Wrong. You just turn off the receiver in settings from "auto" to "off" and set the watch like any other. People need to learn to read the directions, or, at least, watch a YouTube video, on how to run the watch before leaving negative reviews. So far it's a great, inexpensive timepiece that keeps exact time.Pros: It's tough200 meter water resistantAtomic auto setting - easy to force receiving.Easy controlsWorld timeShows day of week, month, and time on screen all at once.Easy to hear beeper (that can be muted easily).Inexpensive to own while always keeping perfect time.Light is good and bright.Easy on / off day light saving.Cons:Can't think of any.One of my first watches 40 years ago was a Casio W750 Marlin that I used for scuba diving. Casios were cool then and are still cool now. And yes, that old watch still runs perfectly and has only had 2 battery changes in all that time. Casio's a name you can trust and I'm sure this watch will run just fine for years to come.

I enjoy all of my time keeping clocks having atomic time synchronization.Will be painting the shiny stainless steel face and logos. Thankfully, the bezel face(s) are easily removable and able to be painted. Since the green colored unit was intended as having camouflage colors, will dull the glossy stainless steel using 1000 grit sandpaper, priming and finishing with Rustoleum primer and Camouflage flat paints.PROS1) Atomic time synchronization.2) Displays 24 hour time format.3) Well working user interface. As usual somewhat complicated however most well used functions are likely memorized.4) Bezel face(s) are easily removable and easily painted.5) Hoping the glass protective cover is very durable, as some of the most durable wrist watch glass covers tend to readily scratch within a commonly aggressive work environment.CONS1) Not pleased with the wrist band style, and will likely immediately replace. Rubber/silicon wrist bands are easily washable, however not comfortable especially within warm climates. I prefer either leather or clothe wrist bands.2) A little on the large side for a wrist watch face/body, however very lightweight.3) Not much choice with common time piece wrist watch styles nowadays due to everybody thinking their latest and greatest lightweight computerized portable device will save them more time or provide them more energy than an ordinary wrist watch.

I Love this watch!! Wear it every day. Keeps perfect time. No winding. Looks Great. Easy to read. Very comfortable.
