Review: Very nice, GIANT display! Best model I’ve seen in the price-range. - I have used my cell phone instead of a watch since about 2001. Decided to start wearing cheap, quartz watches again because I often find myself without my cell phone within reach at rehearsals, recording sessions, lawn-mowing, or work from home situations. Picked up a few Timexes and Casios around the same time. So far, I like this model the best for general use. The size of the time display is so easy to read that I have already started preferring it to comparable analog models. I will mostly be looking to buy digital watches like this with big, simple displays from now on. I’m not James Bond, in spite of what you may have heard. I don’t want an expensive watch on my wrist that might make me a potential target for theft/robbery downtown or on a subway. If I get some paint on this one or it breaks while I’m trying to remove an oil filter, it would be no great loss. Use is fairly intuitive and it hasn’t lost or gained time in the few weeks I’ve owned it, unlike a Timex expedition analog model I got at the same time. After only a couple of weeks, the analog Timex expedition has lost about ten seconds already, which I admit I was surprised by. The only complaint I could possibly make about this watch is that the two LED’s are quite poor in comparison to Timex’s indiglo or the backlight used on much more expensive G-Shock models. But for how cheap and functional this model is, that is a completely unfair comparison. The lights work perfectly fine for me to see if I wake up in the middle of the night but can’t roll/reach over to check my phone due to a sleeping dog contorting my legs at the foot of the bed. Or if I fall asleep on the couch. I have mostly avoided getting it wet up until now, but I did accidentally leave it in the bathroom with the shower running a couple of times and no condensation formed on the inside of the face at all even though there was plenty of water vapor in the room. I also leave it on when washing my hands with no ill-effects. I’m very impressed by how simple and functional this watch is. These cheap, digitals are light years ahead of the Timex Ironman I owned as a kid. But it should be said- that $25-$35 Ironman I bought sometime around 1995 went body boarding, surfing, in the pool with me, and I showered with it on. That thing was basically water-PROOF and never had an issue in water less than 20ft. deep. I swam in Atlantic/East-Coast hurricanes with that thing and it even got tossed around in the salty surf with me. Also used it to time lap-swimming in Olympic-sized pools. I do not have the same confidence in this model, though I have no real rationale for that. The rubber strap was very uncomfortable on the old Ironman models and used to cause some really annoying, visible, skin irritation. I found G-shock straps of that era to be almost just as bad. That is not the case with these modern Casio polymer straps. I also despise those weird circles Casio, Armitron, etc. put on watch faces and take up a quarter of the face of the watch. This watch has NONE of that BS going on. The info on the watch face is SO bold and easy to read that I would definitely prefer it to all the G-shocks with those damned, senseless circles taking up so much of the display. PV cells excluded because they actually do serve a purpose. But here’s my view on all that: if the watch battery lasts even close to ten years, it will already outlast the battery/operation of the solar-powered, $150 G-Shock I once owned by a factor of YEARS. So I would still prefer this because legibility is far more important to me than photovoltaics. After a few weeks getting used to wearing a watch again for the first time in twenty years, I’ve really appreciated not having to dig my cell phone out of my pocket just to check the time/date. A weirdly subtle difference I would never have thought would matter. But it does. I’m starting to really like Casios! I also like the hourly chime because otherwise I get lost and completely lose track of time while recording/producing. That could only backfire if the chime goes off in the vocal booth and ruins a take. Hasn’t happened yet, though. I’m also glad they make it in the desert-sand/beige color because I’m fair skinned so it doesn’t look like a giant thing on my wrist. At some point or other I will wake up exhausted and forget to take it off before I get in the shower. At that point I will update this review if water penetrates the buttons/gaskets/seals. Again, I am in disbelief at how excellent this watch is for the price. I hope they never discontinue this model until an identical “20 Year Battery” model is available. But by then we’ll no doubt have flying cars, rocket-skates, jet packs, and digital, tattooed watches with veinous, indiglo epidermis. Or more than the current, standard-issue, two to three computer chips implanted into in our visual cortex at birth. Just pick the color you like and buy the damned thing!
Review: I'd still love it if it was twice as much. - It's the cheapest watch in my collection and yet I wear it the most. The size is perfect. The time is easy to read. The settings are standard and easy to set. It has multiple alarms. While it is super cheap at $23, the build quality feels nice. It's big, but not heavy at all. It's just super comfortable. I love this watch. The strap is nice, too. I wish they would make a white one but with the same display. The while version display looks hard to read compared to the standard display.

## Available Options

This product comes in different **Color, Size** options.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Any idea what size is this watch?**
A: 51mm.   While large, it wears like a Casio ProTek.   The numbers are larger and that is a good thing. Original G-Shock digits tend to be small for those that wear reading glasses. This watch is terrific.

**Q: What size is the dial?**
A: The dial/digital display is 30mm across (34mm if you include the black ring with writing on it).
The Hour Digits are 9mm tall.
The Seconds Digits are 5mm tall.
The Day/Date Digits are 3mm tall.

**Q: How do you change the year? Haven't seen any info on owners manual, only the day number & month. Others have the same issue?**
A: Keep pressing the left bottom button when changing the time and date then the year comes up to change the same way

**Q: Can you see the time in bright sunlight? And what's the color of the watch?**
A: At the right angle I have no problem reading the display in sunlight. It's part of the "tactical" look of the watch not to have very bright display. This one is dark gray resin. They make an all black watch and a tan watch, which I own also, with more visible positive displays. I really like using the display light for dark environments, helps protect night vision and doesn't light up your face and give away your position, again, tactical features.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Massive number digits
*by B***R on July 21, 2026*

The display on this watch is massive, making a quick glance at the digits super easy. This actually might replace some of my more expensive g-shocks for everyday wear. It has water resistance and the basic Casio functionality which is perfect for everyday use. Up to 10 years on one battery. Highly recommend. The watch face is made out of resin (plastic), so it is more susceptible to scratches than mineral glass. I purchased these screen protectors which fit really well https://a.co/d/04VcwEq9.
