Had this watch for years now and its a beater..looks good. always ....just had it apart for a clean as I work in a very dusty environment and went back to work with a new battery..a friend liked it so he ordered two as gifts for family members...a tough watch all I can say..!
Biggest problem for some of us is the tiny numbers. Camera work on the video is shows the numbers clearly but the lighting has to be just right. I must be getting old.
This was my poor man's moon watch until I could afford a Bulova Lunar Pilot(trading one poor man's moon watch for a more expensive poor man's moon watch😅). I still like wearing it though because it still does things the Lunar Pilot can't. It looks pretty cool with an astronaut strap, that's how it was worn! I love the E6-B calculator!
i have the ef-527 with the slide rule bezel under the crystal and yeah they are really hard to see, but i wear bi-focals and all i need to do is look down, the metal bracelet was pulling hair and pinching so i swapped it out for a nato and it looks really nice on it. it is a pain in the ass though because i have to take it off my wrist to use the bezel
Nice thanks for the review. I've been wondering why some watches have the alternating clicks on the chronograph pushers. Looks like a great watch for the price. I'm surprised I've not heard about it before, since it looks so similar to the Seiko sna411 which is quite popular.
No, but there are alternative options. If you search eBay for "22mm long watch bracelet", you will find extra long metal bracelet and leather strap options to fit a 10" wrist. There are some for as little as $10.

I'll try the manual reset on my other chrono! Excellent review even the crash course in the slide rule.

It fits my 8 1/2" wrist.
Happy to have found your channel. Subscribed ! Hope you post more watch videos.
I am trying to buy a new seal for the watch - any idea what size I should be getting - 38mm?? Thanks for the great video!!
Interesting . Thank you for the demonstration 👍

how do you reset the minute dial for the stop watch? mine is stuck on 5 mins
Put the Chronograph to work and then pull the crown, after that push the first button (pusher) to make it move forward until it gets to 12
lol looks convincing got one in the cart at amazon
..tempting to click it though!!
It's hard to beat a Casio. You can spend $50 or more and not get more.
Heck for $50 let it rattle
Walt's watch on the tv show Longmire for what its worth
Ok, so it's not a Navitimer, but it's still a pretty nice looking watch.
Helpful, thank you :-)
Rich will it fit a 10 inch wrist?

@@rmenga This helps so much for all wrists actually. You're the man.
The sweep hand on my stop watch does not zero out completely, stops about a second short when I push reset. Any simple way to fix that?
