Great watch
Great option if you want a practical and efficient watch. I loved how it looked: It’s simple, stylish, and cool.Positive points:It's easy to read, lightweight and not bulky.The watch face has most necessary: the time, the day of the week and the day of the month.The backlight is great on this watch, looks good in dim light and dark light.The time and date are easy to set and the features were easy to use.About the water resistance I've only put it to the test several times when it has gotten wet from rain and when I have showered and there were no problems.Negative points:I would have preferred the watch face to be a little bigger.The band is a little too short. I have a small wrist so the watch barely fit, but if I want to continue wearing it in the future I would have liked the band to be larger.The backlight only comes on while you press the button, I would have preferred it to be on for at least 2-3 seconds.

Casio collector
I collect vintage Casios so I may be biased, but this is probably the best budget watch you can buy. Super comfy, long lasting battery, easy to use, and the backlight is very bright.

There’s only one watch the rule them all and this is it!
Battery last forever, tells you everything you need to know time, day and date. Has stopwatch and alarm. The blue light is way better than the green. Only thing I always change on these is the watch band. The Zulu strap is key to me for making this watch amazing. I use this watch for work, working out, school and casual wear. I beat the heck out of this watch. I love how simple and basic it is.

A fantastic cheap, digital watch.
I love the look of this watch, the face has the time, the day of the week, and 'day' portion of the date.There's a stopwatch and alarm, though I've never used either for anything other than a test, so I can only say they work but not how well.The backlight is great on this watch, better than the other cheap Casio (91? Something like that) where the backlight is a visible bulb in the corner than only lights up 2/3 of the face. This is a whole backlight, a bright blue that's only on as long as you press the button and makes everything very visible.You can easily adjust the time/date on this and unfortunately that'll be pretty important as this guy can lose like 30 seconds a month, hence my docking of a star in the "timer function" review portion. To me that's pretty shoddy, but as long as you know that's part of this watch and stay on top of it, it's definitely manageable.This watch is like $20-$30, it's clearly not meant to impress anybody, it's just a clear and simple watch that looks pretty good and retro. I think this is a perfect watch if you want a watch but work outside: you won't care if this cheap bad boy gets beat up.I still love it, despite it not keeping great time. Highly recommend this to everybody, really, worst case scenario it's a fantastic backup.

Good Watch at Affordable Price
I've gone through a few of these watches over the years. The strap is always what breaks first. The watch is cheap enough that it isn't worth the time or money to replace the strap, so I just get a new watch. The straps tend to last between a year and a few years. This time I decided to purchase 4 years of coverage for the watch which will hopefully cover replacement if the strap breaks.The back-light is extremely useful and illuminates the entire watch. This is much better than Casio's regular light that just shines from the upper left corner.In a pitch black setting, the back light can even be used as a very weak flashlight.The alarm and timer are easy to use. Besides for the hourly chime which you can turn on it only has the option to set one alarm.It's easy to set the time and date and the display is nice, showing time, day of the week, and day of the month. The month itself is not displayed.I've never had a problem with the waterproofing. Its fine in showers or swimming.All in all a basic watch that gets the job done at an affordable price.

Simple, Durable, and High Value
Handles sweat, showers, and rain with ease. I haven't gone scuba diving with it so I can't tell you the exact failure depth, but I think if you keep it reasonable and stay in the swimming pool you should be just fine.The construction is pretty damn good, especially considering the price. I have another Casio of the same type but with the silver body and metal band, it has held up to countless impacts and scratches. This version should hold up even better, given the tough rubber band is the only real functional difference. The body, glass, buttons, and back face are all exactly the same. If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it!The illumination is even and sufficient, not so much it'll blow your night vision out but bright enough you will easily read the display. The stopwatch function works great too, I use it for timing my running exercises every week.I really can't recommend this watch enough. It is no frills and no BS, just a simple watch that will probably last longer than you will.

It Just Works
I love how: lightweight it feels on my wrist. It clearly tells the time. It keeps the time well - only a few seconds off after a few months. I love the brightness of the backlight. Stopwatch is handy for every day use.One thing I would change is the volume of the chimes. They are *very* loud haha. I would love if it had a lower volume chime.Other than that, excellent watch for the money. Highly recommend.

buen reloj con algunos peros
luz fantastica y buen reloj pero la correa es un handicap. En la mano se siente cosa que no le sucede al 86-w y el ajuste de muñeca es critico, si tienes una muñeca ancha te va a quedar pequeña la correa. He decidido cambiar la correa de mi antiguo 86-w y este lo dejo al cajón porque el 86-w es mucho mas ajustable y agradable de usar, de hecho ni lo noto y lo llevo puesto ahora mismo. Ni lo dudeis, existiendo el f-86-w no cometais la torpeza que hice yo de comprar el 105 w que ha acabado en el cajón porque es mucho mejor reloj el 86w
