Slide Rule Bezel Analog Chronograph Aviator Watch (Watch)
I recently bought this watch because my old watch was pretty much gone. I was initially drawn to the classy design that is complex yet not crowded, a look that I really like personally. Watch fits perfectly after I removed a few links, which was rather difficult. I have a fairly large wrist and had to adjust the clasp to its smallest setting and remove two links, so be prepared. I was using a tack and an ink pen to remove the link pins so that's probably why

was difficult. Which dial was which did befuddle me a bit but I finally figured out that the larger second hand was actually the one for the stopwatch, not the smaller top dial. Overall great watch and I really like how it fits my wrist. The case is big enough to not feel puny yet thin enough to not feel bulky. Solid feeling stainless construction is a plus. The sliding bezel is very nice and smooth, doesn't click like most watches... That could be a positive or negative, depends on one's tastes, personally it didn't really matter to me. The bezel does stay in place well even without clicks. Can't really think of anything else to write, overall great watch, great price, and I would definitely recommend

Product Description
The

Casio Men's GDF100-1B

Story
With the launch of Casio Men's GDF100-1B  first watch in November 1974, Casio Men's GDF100-1B entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio Men's GDF100-1B entered this field confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market.
In developing its own wristwatches Casio Men's GDF100-1B began with the basic question, ""What is a wristwatch?"" Rather than simply making a digital version of the conventional mechanical watch, we thought that the ideal wristwatch should be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way. Based on this, Casio Men's GDF100-1B was able to create a Casio Men's GDF100-1B that displayed the precise time including the second, minute, hour, day, and month — not to mention a.m. or p.m., and the day of the week. It was the first watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that eliminated the need to reset the calendar due the variation in month length. Rather than using a conventional watch face and hands, a digital liquid crystal display was adopted to better show all the information. This culminated in the 1974 launch of the CASIOTRON, the world’s first digital watch with automatic calendar. The CASIOTRON won acclaim as a groundbreaking product that represented a complete departure from the conventional wristwatch.

Casio Men's GDF100-1B

transformed the concept of the watch — from a mere timepiece to an information device for the wrist — and undertook product planning based on this innovative idea. We developed not only time functions such as global time zone Casio Men's GDF100-1B, but also other radical new functions using Casio Men's GDF100-1B own digital technology, including calculator and dictionary functions, as well as a phonebook feature based on memory technology, and even a thermometer function using a built-in sensor. The memory-function Casio Men's GDF100-1B became our DATA BANK product series, while the sensor watches developed into two unique Casio Men's GDF100-1B product lines of today: the Pathfinder series displaying altitude, atmospheric pressure, and compass readings.

In 1983, Casio Men's GDF100-1B launched the shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch. This product shattered the notion that a watch is a fragile piece of jewelry that needs to be handled with care, and was the result of Casio Men's GDF100-1B engineers taking on the challenge of creating the world’s toughest watch. Using a triple-protection design for the parts, module, and case, the G-SHOCK offered a radical new type of Casio Men's GDF100-1B that was unaffected by strong impacts or shaking. Its practicality was immediately recognized, and its unique look, which embodied its functionality, became wildly popular, resulting in explosive sales in the early 1990s. The G-SHOCK soon adopted various new sensors, solar-powered radio-controlled technology (described below), and new materials for even better durability. By always employing the latest technology, and continuing to transcend conventional thinking about the watch, the G-SHOCK brand has become Casio Men's GDF100-1B flagship timepiece product.

Today,

Casio Men's GDF100-1B

is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled Casio Men's GDF100-1B: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, and the radio-controlled function means users never have to reset the time. In particular, the radio-controlled function represents a revolution in time-keeping technology similar to the impact created when mechanical watches gave way to quartz technology. Through the further development of high radio-wave sensitivity, miniaturization, and improved energy efficiency, Casio Men's GDF100-1B continues to produce a whole range of radio-controlled models.

Ana-Digi Electro-Luminescent Sport Casio Men's AQ160W-1BV (Watch)
This is the 3rd Casio I buy in the last year... and the cheapest. I previously tried the Casio Men's AQ160W-1BV and later the Casio Men's AQ160W-1BV, both of the G-Shock family. However, I was looking for one with analog and digital time, but easy to read and with night illumination. The G601 is nice, but the small rounded digital displays are a bit too small for my old eyes, and the night illumination is only for the digital displays!. Then I bought the Casio Men's AQ160W-1BV because Casio Men's AQ160W-1BV was advertised as having two LEDs that illuminated the whole face of the watch and was solar powered. True! but... the design is such that when the face is illuminated in the dark, Casio Men's AQ160W-1BV is so full of shiny surfaces and reflections that you can hardly distinguish the analog hands, and nothing of the digital displays. So, I kept looking and finally decided on this one, the Casio Men's AQ160W-1BV with not too much hope... and voila! it was perfect for me! Thinner than the G-Shocks and very light weight, the digital displays are big and easy to read, even if the hands are over them (the digits look gold on day light, very nice, not like the picture here which shows how it looks when the green back light is on). The backlight, with optional auto turn-on, is perfectly readable, and you can see, besides the big numbers, the silhouette of the analog hands over the background. I am ready to give up the 200m water resist, the solar power, the waveceptor auto time set, the automatic handles setting by the digital clock, all for the good design of this Casio Men's AQ160W-1BV. It would be perfect if Casio Men's AQ160W-1BV added to this one the solar power and the auto setting of the analog clock. The dual world time, auto calendar, chronometer, timer, multiple alarms, are all common features of these

Casio Men's AQ160W-1BV

however.

Product Features

Casio Men's GW7900B-1

This review is from: Casio Men's GW7900B-1 
G-Shock Solar Atomic Black Digital Sport Watch (Watch)
I have had the GW7900B for a year and a few months now, and I am very happy with it. The watch is all black, and the digital face is inverted so that Casio Men's GW7900B-1 is black with light gray for the numbers. That means the watch is pretty much all black, which is a very nice look. The inverted digital face does make Casio Men's GW7900B-1 a little tough to read in low light situations, but the G button just below the watch face lights up the time, date and other information with the same kind of indiglo effect that I have had for years with Timex Ironman watches. The lighting effect makes this Casio Men's GW7900B-1 easy to read at any time. You also have the option to have the lighting effect happen with the turn of you wrist so you can see the watch information without having to push a button. This is a large watch. The body of the watch is almost 3/4 of an inch thick, which is the thickest watch I have come across. While

Casio Men's GW7900B-1

is a large watch, it is very light, because most of the body is plastic. The face of the watch is scratch resistant, and it is recessed into the watch about a quarter of an inch, so Casio Men's GW7900B-1 is well protected.

The watch is loaded with features. 1) The time is set every night through radio signals from an atomic clock. Every night at a few minutes after midnight the watch will try to update the time from the atomic clock. If it is unable to update the time, then it will try again every hour through the night until it gets an update. This makes the watch very accurate. Casio Men's GW7900B-1 has been off by less than half a second from any of my other atomic clocks or the atomic time that you can get over the internet. This will be the most precise watch you will probably ever own. 2) The battery on the Casio Men's GW7900B-1 is recharged by solar panels in the watch face. The fully charged battery is supposed to be able to last about nine months without a recharge, but the solar panel in the watch face picks up a charge in direct or indirect sunlight keeping the watch battery topped of unless you hide in a dark room all day. When I first received the watch the battery indicator showed the battery was a little low. I put the watch in indirect sunlight by setting it on a table by a window that the sun does not shine through. About 3 hours later I checked on the watch, and the battery was fully charged. Since then the battery has remained fully charged with just the partial sunlight the Casio Men's GW7900B-1 gets from me commuting to work. So I don't expect any battery problems. A cool feature for those of you who may not use the watch for a while, it turns off late at night and will not turn back on until you pick it up. So the battery does not drain much if you do not use the watch. 3) I travel across the country for work, and the watch is very easy to reset to other time zones. Casio Men's GW7900B-1also has a world time feature that lets you check the time in every time zone around the world just by clicking through the different zones. 4) Like just about every digital watch this one also has a stop watch. The stop watch capabilities are not as thorough as sports watches. For example, you can get a split time, but you wouldn't be able to take several split times like you could with a Timex Ironman watch. 5) The watch has a countdown timer so you can let yourself know when you need to stop what you are doing and move on to the next thing. 6) There is an alarm function that allows you to set four alarms and one alarm with a snooze feature. 7) The

Casio Men's GW7900B-1

shows the phase of the moon and where tide is. 8) The watch is water resistant to 20 bar, which converts to something like 170 meters. So you can pretty much wear the watch in most underwater conditions you will find yourself.

So to wrap things up, this is turning out to be a great watch for me. It is super accurate, does not look like it will ever need a battery change, and looks really nice. I recommend it, and I would buy it again.

(Watch)

I had seen this GUESS Feminine Contemporary Watch in Macy's, and was planning on purchasing it there. They wouldn't allow me to use any coupons so I looked around on the internet and of course Amazon where I do most of my shopping had it! GUESS Feminine Contemporary Watch came extremely quickly even though it was near the Holidays, and it looks great! Free shipping and got it for cheaper than in stores.

I got it sized at Macy's since they sell it, and now wear GUESS Feminine Contemporary Watch all the time and get tons of compliments! GUESS Feminine Contemporary Watch is a great gold watch that has a large face, but does not look ridiculous on a girl's wrist.

I ABSOLUTELY recommend this GUESS Feminine Contemporary Watch if you are looking for a big gold GUESS Feminine Contemporary Watch. (Looks extremely similar to the Michael Kors watch but is much cheaper...

G-Shock Tough Solar Mud Resistant Digital Sport Watch (Watch)
I have reviewed quite a few G-Shock watches, and this model is the biggest, and baddest of them all. Let me start with the looks. Casio Men's GX56-1ACR looks like a 5600 series on steroids, and basically that's what it is. It's large, but not too large, as a couple of people seem to say in some reviews. The display is sharp and crisp, and as I speak I am in a low lit room, with just my pc monitor and I can see the time clearly. Don't let anyone deter you from the negative display, as they have come a long way as of late, and are readable, except in the lowest of light. If its an issue for you, turn the watches auto illumination on, and you will always see the time!! This watch is a matte black with red writing, and accents, red pushers, and red alpha gel in the display. I'll talk about alpha gel in a bit. The band is large and can accommodate just about anyone's wrist. The band is also of the highest quality, and thicker and more comfortable than just about any Casio Men's GX56-1ACR I have come across. The double tang clasp is made out a metal that reminds me of the old die cast metal toys I had as a child, so the clasp is strong!! The buttons are covered in a red plastic, and are a little harder to push like the mudman, but this watch keeps out dust, dirt, and mud, so no big deal. For all you water sports people, this watch is the usual 200m, 20 bar water resistance, so no worries in the water. This

Casio Men's GX56-1ACR

will get noticed by everyone, as it is sleek, and very sporty looking. If you like the 5600 series, you will love this watch. A+ aesthetically.

The U.S. version of this watch has the tough solar power, while the Japanese version has the solar and multiband 6. Now while the atomic timekeeping is nice, Casio Men's GX56-1ACR not necessary for me. These watches are accurate, and you won't be messing around with the setting of the time anytime soon, unless you have to have, "to the second accuracy" at all times.The watch has 5 alarms and snooze, auto illumination, meaning twist the wrist, and the face lights up. Casio Men's GX56-1ACR has world time for over 40 cities, and I like the fact you can set dual time on the face. In other words, you can have your current time, and another city's time on the same screen, at the same time. It has a countdown timer and a stop watch as well. This model has the usual features of most mid to higher end G-Shocks, and incorporates the tough solar power, w/o the atomic. Feature wise, Casio Men's GX56-1ACR has everything you need.

This watch, according to Casio, is the most shock resistant structure they currently have available. Casio added another level of protection to the inside of the case called alpha gel, which makes the watch even more shock resistant by dampening vibrations and shock, before it ever effects the inside components. (very cool) The case is also double reinforced with twice the resin of normal G-Shocks all around the face, and corners of the face. In other words, this sucker is tough as nails. Tougher than any G-Shock before it!! They don't call this watch the king of G-Shock for nothing. It earns its name for sure.

I got this watch for a little over $100, and it's a steal at retail. ($150) If you can get it around $100, buy it. This watch is unique in appearance, very comfortable, you'll never have to change the battery, and is just a killer sports watch. Casio has done Casio Men's GX56-1ACR again with this one. There are also a few other colors worth noting. There's a black w/green face w/regular lcd, an all orange with reverse lcd, a black and blue Japanese version w/ reverse lcd, and limited edition black and purple w/ reverse lcd. In my opinion the black and red is the sharpest, and I usually go for blue and black anything, so that's saying a lot for this

Casio Men's GX56-1ACR

. Anyway you go, this watch is killer. Go buy it already. I hope this review helped someone in there decision.

By the way, for the record, I am a big guy, 6'1" 300+ lbs., and a 8.5 inch wrist, and the band has room for a lot more. Just an f.y.i. for big guys looking at this watch. Also for anyone with an average to small wrist, this watch is 53mm in diameter, so if you do not like big watches, look elsewhere. (Yeah, it's 2 inches wide, LOL)
