CasioMen's Vintage F105W-1A Illuminator Water Resistant Sport Watch

Love this watch. Have been wearing this model since the 1980s. Sturdy, functional, reliable, accurate & lasts for years & years. Easy to use and set up the date, time, stop watch, timer and alarm. All functions work as they should. Choice of on the hour reminder chime, 12 or 24 hour display and the alarm beeps gradually accend in volume, gently waking the wearer without disturbing those nearby who want to keep sleeping.The back light dims out after several years. The watches themselves have never cracked or broken. Rough on watches. One was replaced when lens became cloudy, covered in an accumulation over time of tiny scratches from repeated contact with rough surface . Another replacedment was bc one of the holes where the bar for the watch strap sits became enlarged & would not hold bar any longer after the strap got hung up & thankfully pop the bar out, saving my wrist. The strap has hung up before, breaking the strap instead of popping out the bar. I'm not 100%sure but I think it was a newer replacement watch band that pulled the bar outBattery & strap sre simple to replace.Oh and this watch can handle being caked with mud, paint, dust, sand, etc..., covered in shampoos, lotions, etc.., and even sprayed with cleaning liquids (bleach, white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and moreNever take it off, except to clean it or . It's waterproof in the pool, tub, shower, lake & ocean snorkeling & even held up on a 30 min. shallow scuba dive average depth 20ft.Ladies, if you like simple, practical, watches, but find ladies' digital watches too small and men's either too big and thick check this watch out. I don't even notice I'm wearing it. It doesn't catch on clothing or anything except for when overcome by an occasionsl knucklehead moment and move too fast before looking. Correction. When it's really cold and multiple long sleeve layers are wrapped in sleeves with elastic wrist cuffs,adjust xthe watch location for comfort.and move move way too fast farms, in the barns, corals, pastures and pensBest simple digital watch, ever.

Casio makes cheap, reliable, easy-to-operate watches. I’ve had great luck with the watches. The watch bands are made of silicone rubber - they’re comfortable, easy to keep clean, durable but eventually crack and break where the clasp is located. My only complaint is replacement watch bands are expensive compared to the cost of a new battery. I wish cheap OEM bands were available because the watch will out live several bands before the battery dies.Still, these are great watches if you need a rugged work or sport watch.The Illuminator features is excellent! The display can be viewed clearly in total darkness. I really like variety of digital and analog Casio watches.

Arrived and looking new. Easy to setup like any old fashioned digital watch. It just reminds me the most primitive watch models will actually activate backlight when adjusting time/reset timer due to limited number of buttons, which is never the case for more sophisticated ones. Comfortable wear and no irritation to skin so far. Truly love the size and the weight, which makes me hardly feel it when wearing.

Pros: This watch is highly legible and the backlight works perfectly. The watch is so light I forget that I'm wearing it. It's also very thin, so it slips easily under sleeve cuffs, making it work particularly well with winter wear. At its price point, I'm also unconcerned about treating it roughly.Cons: One of the buttons has gotten a bit sticky, and no amount of adjustment/lubrication has seemed to improve it. The watch and the button still work, but it's a bit of annoyance that I wish I didn't have to deal with.

It was a gift for my brother! And he's happy!! It came in perfect condition in its box!!! It is very elegant and perfect for him!

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.

This is the only watch my husband buys, he's been buying them for over 20 years. He has more than one. He wears one for outside work, and one for going away.It looks good, it's Digital, wrist band is comfortable, and not so bulky. We have given these away to our foster grand children as well. It's a good watch for the money, not gaudy and unnecessary features that just complicate life. The battery last's forever, and it is easy to read, and it lights up. What more do you need from a watch need! It's perfect.......

I've been wearing this watch or a very similar one for 40 years. My brother and I both work construction. We both found out we were wearing the same watch all these years! You can't hardly kill these things, they never die. The buttons wear out before the battery ever does.
