CasioWave Ceptor Men's Watch WVA-M650D

This is a nice watch and even in stainless steel it is very light to wear. Sure, it is not in the £500+ league but make a great daily driver. The Radio time signal means it is always going to be the correct auto adjusting time and solar power (half an hour sun a month) means no batteries. [Hint: I charged it up by just putting it on its side and positioning a bright LED torch to shine on the face for half an hour]. The back light feature is nice and is had an auto light function too. It came in a nice presentation case with the usual tiny and unreadable instruction manual. Luckily, the manual can be found online [manualslib]. The strap is easily adjustable with the supplied plastic tool and delivery was fast and tracking easy through the site. Just bear in mind, this watch isn't in the same league as a Tissot Racing Touch or a Seiko Kinetic but then it costs a great deal less. I was hoping that the two digital displays were bigger than they turned out to be so if you have aging eyes like me there is another waveceptor with a larger single display. Unless it is for cosmetics, I would not bother paying extra for the titanium version either as this one is already extremely light to wear. Finally, this is an interesting mix of an old "smart" watch and a traditional one. It has advanced features but ultimately is a very traditional timepiece. It is certainly nice enough to be used as a dress watch and would make a fine gift for someone who isn't keen on smart watches.

A very handsome looking watch in a stainless steel case with a matching rugged polished stainless steel strap.The Instructions can be difficult to read so go to Casio and download the User Manual that is printed in slightly larger type. Follow the instructions carefully from stage to stage. The set up should take less than 15 minutes and you have a watch that will last a lifetime without a battery or changing the set up. As soon as you have the watch running, place it in direct sunshine or under a bright desk lamp to bring it up to full charge. Thereafter it will maintain the charge as long as it is exposed to normal daylight. When entering a new country you can set the watch to local time and enjoy your holiday. The watch is equipped with a bright LED which automatically illuminates the watch face when it is moved in the dark. The watch automatically changes for Summer and Winter alterations and because it is radio controlled it is superbly accurate.The strap is easily adjusted to fit different wrist sizes using a simple novel tool provided in the pack.Only one GRUMBLE, the watch face is described as BLUE, but this is somewhat of a misnomer. You can see a slight blue but you have to exercise poetic licence to call it real blue! That said it looks smart, keeps accurate time and is a pleasure to wear. What more do you want from a watch without forking out over £1000!

It's a while since I bought a watch so this was a big change. I noted first of all there is no need for a link extractor to adjust this strap. I comes with it's own wee tool and it's a much easier system to use than the old spring poles. It's great. The watch is solid, well made and ticked all of my boxes. In my mind it does everything I wanted it to do but absolutely nothing more... Which is fine, but being able to set 7 day alarms would be nice, the watch can only do 24 hour alarms, on every day.The Date is presented "MM DD", which does bug me slightly. I haven't found a way to change it.The biggest issue is the documentation, which is quite poor. You can find all the bits eventually with the help of Google, but it is a bit convoluted. The Snooze alarm for example... I'm still trying to work out how I'm supposed to cancel it, or whether going into settings is the proper way.The watch is 10bar waterproof, this meant nothing to me, but apparently means fine for swimming, showers, submersion, but not environs where the water will hit under pressure like high board diving, water sking, etc.The backlight is amber, never did see that documented anywhere.Nice watch, very happy. Affordable, decent daily slogger that can take the abuse having kids will bring.

This watch meets my need to replace my long-serving old waveceptor watch. It has a pleasing sparkly face, unusually two clear digital displays, each a bit bigger than most other Casio models, one showing the day of the week, and the other time, date or other selection. The light facility is effective. It is very easy to adjust the size of the band with the little gadget supplied. All this at a non-stratospheric price.

Have had casio watches for years, always good and having had a couple of " smart" watches thought I would go for something more reliable and long lasting. This has good features, including solar power and atomic timing, no battery changes needed or resetting once set. It is waterproof to 100m, no worries getting wet. Every day watch worth the money, also looks good. Getting to know the functions takes a bit of repetition but easy once used to it.

Bought this as wanted a watch without batteries and have had a solar powered watch previously. I generally like to see the watch up close and try on prior to purchase so there was a chance it might not be what I was looking for. However it met my expectations and exceeded them in some ways. It’s much lighter than I expected due to part plastic casing. Feels comfortable on wrist and very easy to adjust the strap. Setting it up was a bit fiddly but manual easy to understand.So far so good Re time keeping and it looks very smart. Re the alarm, don’t bother buying this if you specifically want to use the alarm as you just wont hear it. Few reviews had stated this and its true. I also purchased the blue face and paid extra to do so. On reflection it’s rather a lot extra to pay for blue dial and wish had bought black dial and saved myself £30!The light works well and all in all am very pleased with product which hopefully will last a long time.
