I've had this watch for 3 years now and it's been great. first two years it stayed on my wrist continuously. Now it goes on for working in the yard, going to the beach or swimming in the pool. My favorite function on this watch is the alarm. It has a snooze that will go off in 5 minute increments for 30 minutes. I stopped using my phone for my alarm once I got this watch.
Hi there and thank you for commenting. The Casio W-96H is a fantastic watch and for the price that it is at plus the functions that it has on offer it is well worth owning. Hope yours gives you plenty more years of accurate service! Cheers, Tony - WTA
@@Caije tanx 4 reply bro, I have a very thin wrist, although w96h looks so cool n attractive, my only intrest to f91w was cuz I have very thin wrist, as despite bare minimum n simple f91w, I thought it will look better on my wrist... I hope that w96 do look gud on me
@@wetryanythingchannel I think that the DATE & TIME on this CASIO AE1200 watch should be a larger size. There is some wasted real estate space on this watch. The DATE and TIME on the CASIO model W96H-1BV is a much larger size. I can see the TIME on it easily from 1 meter away ! The CASIO W96H-1BV is my favorite digital watch because it shows the TIME, DATE, DAY and YEAR all on the face without having to push any buttons for selection. You look at this watch and it shows everything all at once.... though the CASIO AE1200 watch is better when traveling to different countries. I do like the CASIO AE1200 and decided to buy one because of it's many features. I am going to modify it with the all metal SKXmod company watch kit.
This watch so tough....i buy in 2009 till now this watch still alive and i never change the bettery..in army i used this watch any time any place i go...running, hiking, mountion, shooting...and many ..but still alive today..the strap only i change..
Thank you for commenting. It is such a great watch, so easy to read the time off and very user friendly. I hope your watch carries on with many more years of great service. Cheers, Tony - WTA
Beautiful watch. I've had many Casio watches, but through the years, this became my favourite. Practical, simple, good looking, and especially more comfortable than all the other Casio models I've tried. It truly has a "personnality", but... OMG those Casio resin strapes. For my W-800H I've bought some sort of generic band Made in Turkey for replacement, it looks like it's made from old truck tires or stuff like that, not soft at all especially when it's new, but man, it's better and more reliable than the geniune ones. After wearing it a few months it become softer. So no complain. Really, on this specific area, Shame on Casio.
Mine lasted 2.5 years before the strap broke, the watch cost me about 20 quid from Argos originally, I wore it every day, bath, in the shower, working on the car, oil and solvents around etc. Not worried about fixing it, because I scratched it up a bit, but I liked the watch so much, that I went back to Argos and bought another for £9.99. Great watch, I give it 8 out of 10.
A crack appeared about an inch away from the buckle, then snapped off all the way across. Still got the old watch, and I notice it has kept almost perfect time too. But I also notice the strap also has several other cracks too. @@america2793
Been wearing mine for work since 2010.im a joiner and its taken knocks and scrapes.still on the same battery but had a couple of replacement straps.brilliant product
Great review of a very honest watch, the W-96H is a great watch, I bought one in 2007 and it is still on its first battery. The face is very clear an I don't have to bring it up to my face to see it, the stopwatch is also very clear and I use it when running. The strap is it's achilles heel, mine snapped and also broke at the resin lug. I bought a new strap and super glued it to the shoulder, it been ok for the last 5 years. The alarm is a bit low and it your a bit hard of hearing ( like me) it probably won't wake you up. I would definitely buy another one, a superb beater watch.
Just purchased this watch today from Kohl’s, it was on clearance for $3.77, it didn’t come with the instruction booklet on how to set it, but your video was very helpful….many thanks to you 😊👍🏾
You are very welcome! It is a great watch and I think if you pop on Casio's website they have a support section where you can download a PDF of the instructions for that particular watch, which can be very handy indeed! Cheers, Tony - WTA
This is my first casio watch, it's been two years now. Kinda dissaponted with the strap though. Fell in love with casio. Brought my second casio, A-158.
This is the watch I thought I would never want. When it comes to CASIO I’m really into the more obsolescence retro look most models rarely make it above the 90’s as for my usual activities can be suffice with my Apple Watch however as a fan of the W800 I just seem to find it difficult to pass up.
Thank you for commenting. It is a great looking watch and I love the simplistic design of it plus it is very comfortable on the wrist. A watch that might be worth you looking at is the Casio W-218H (amzn.to/3hYjCDW) as it has those retro vibes and looks great in Green and Black. There will be a review of it coming soon to the channel if you want to see what it is like. Cheers, Tony - WTA
I am using this watch for 8 years, had some scratches, other than that, it is very practical.. I can see the day, and date all in one screen without even touching it. Also, no worries about the battery too... water resistance for basic trekking ... I just love this watch !
It is a great watch and have already purchased another one to give as a gift to one of my family as I really like them. Cheers for commenting and have a great Christmas!! Cheers, Tony - WTA.
I've had a couple of these watches for a few years and recently fitted a replacement strap on one of them, I reused the existing screws. Where the strap meets the watch is a collection point for a fair amount of skin dust and little arm hairs. You may like to remove your strap even though it's not broken to clean those parts. The biggest let down with Casio digital watches is that the straps eventually crack and break in contrast to the watches that seem to go on forever.
Had mine in daily use a few years and still on the original strap. When the time comes to replace, I would go for one with a black case as the silver finish tends to scratch and wear over time.
These casios are great watches I have another youth model it's takes hell lot of toll still works super fine infact these are more comfortable than my Mudman
What I like the most about this watch is the black and silver contrasting colour combination. Edit: Four years on, the band tore. Five years on, the liquid of the LCD screen is leaking and the screen is gradually becoming dark as black. Maybe it's a one-off incident that my screen got damaged, but Casio really needs to pull the socks up on the bands. It's a commonplace problem that most users are reporting. Anyway, now I'm checking out the DW-5600E-1VQ, and hopefully I may buy it next.
Hi there and I totally agree with you as I am sure that not only would it aid to the longevity of the watch but I am sure that if you were to pair this watch with a nice leather strap it would look even better than it does. Cheers, Tony - WTA
im trying to figure a way to mod a leather strap on this (which will probably cost more than a new watch). i got 2 of these and the band disinigrates, literally crumbles off after 2 or 3 years (its humid where im at). the battery does last at least 10yrs and you can replace the battery. the strap is the only weakness. this is a beautiful watch, im going to SOMEHOW find a way to attach alternative straps
I bought one, it was fantastic, it looked good on my wrist by the strap gave way in 14th month of purchase...I stopped using it and bought a casio D083
Applying a premium protective film (Palm brand) on the face cover and cutting it to match it's dimensions, guarantee's a scratch free display for many years to come. Excellent review and well earned thumb up feedback.
Thank you for your kind comment. I have just taken a look at my Casio W-96H and I can confirm that it doesn't have a Countdown Timer. Hope it helps! Cheers, Tony - WTA
I'd prefer the W-800H that has the same movement and display size but a less bulky case. It also has a higher water resistance rating of 100 m/10 bar. But it's my only movement that's noticeably going slow. It loses several seconds per week.
Hi there and thank you for commenting. It is a decent watch and if you can get it when it is half price, which happens from time to time, it's even better!! Cheers, Tony - WTA

Hi, I’ve already owe the Casio 168WA. I’m planning to get one for Christmas but I’m Confused to choose between the F91W VS AE1200WH vs W96 vs DW5600 Pls suggest lol
The Casio DW5600 looks a great watch and that would be my choice but it is all down to personal preference and budget but check out the Casio W-800H (amzn.to/3mJgAG9) as that is a great looking watch and very affordable. Hope it helps! Cheers, Tony - WTA.
I have half a dozen Casio's (F91-W, A163, MRW200, WS1300, AE1200, and this one). Overall, based on form, function and price, this is the pick of the bunch. It was on offer for £10 when I bought it as well.
I do think that the Casio W-96H is still a great watch to own, even after all of the Casios I have featured on the channel. You should check out the Casio W-800H if you get the chance as it is like the w-96h but a little more chunkier. Cheers, Tony - WTA
@@wetryanythingchannel Cheers, Tony. It's on my list, though I'm taking a break from buying any more for now as I've gone a bit overboard since I posted that comment. (Up to 12 Casios now, with an A100WEL, an A700WEG, and the MTP1314 you also reviewed to unbox tonight.)
Hi there and thank you for your question. The display on this watch is pretty big for its size but check out the Casio AE-1500WH-1AVCF, it may be a better option for your dad though it does seem like a pretty big watch - amzn.to/3vzsuag (please note that it is an affiliate link but at least you can take a look at it and maybe search on google to see if you can get it cheaper if it is the watch for you.) Hope it helps! Cheers, Tony - WTA
Thank you for commenting and it's a great suggestion! I will have to check it out and post a review video on the channel in the near future, so if you haven't already done so then don't forget to subscribe! Cheers, Tony - WTA
Your videos are fantastic thank you for sharing this watch it is super nice I like it it's basic it's big you can read the display clearly very nice I just wish it was like the other models 200 m 🇺🇸👍😎💖
Hi there and thank you for your question. All I would say is that it will depend on what your daily routine is and it will sit on most peoples hands due to it not being a large timepiece though I am wondering if you mean your wrist as opposed to you hands? Cheers, Tony - WTA
I’m looking for digital casio (not g-shock/protrek), stainless steel case, 50m water resistant at least, has timer & stopwatch function... is there any casio like this?
Id LOVE to buy one of these W-96H watches as I love the LARGE display, but again those D**N proprietary straps are a huge deal breaking PITA - always too short to fit my large wrist and impossible to replace with anything else except the factory strap which costs as much as the watch or more depending on where you go - Come on Casio, make your watches without the pos integrated bands and put regular 22mm lugs on so we can choose a band that fits and lasts more than a year or two. I know Casio wants us to just throw away the watch and buy another one, but that doesnt work on me because the dam one off integrated bands wont fit me in the first place so no sale from me Casio even though I like your watches.
I am with you on that as the Casio W-96H is more or less the same price to buy brand new as is to get a replacement Casio strap for, which is mad really and a bit of a shame. Unfortunately it seems to be the society we live in at the moment and hopefully one day it will change for the better. Thank you for commenting. Cheers, Tony - WTA
Totally agree!! Great watch and I love how big the display is on them without affecting the case size too much. You should check out the Casio W-800H (which I have only reviewed the other day), another great watch like the Casio-96H and it is only £10 more. Cheers, Tony - WTA.
In my opinion I preferred this watch over the F91w as the display is bigger and the time display I found better due to the extra size. I also preferred how it felt on my wrist over the F91w plus I found it easier to operate with the slightly larger side buttons. So for me it is this watch over the F91w which I hope helps you in your decision with my reasons for my choice above. Cheers, Tony - WTA
Hi there, from what I can see and understand, without taking the watch strap arrangement apart, I don't think you can but if anyone has then please comment below. Cheers, Tony - WTA
From what I can see with the watch featured on the channel it does seem to have an hourly chime. Here is a link to the manual PDF that Casio have for this watch which has the module number of 3239 stamped on the back of the watch: support.casio.com/storage/en/manual/pdf/EN/009/qw3239.pdf The manual which I have linked to describes how to go through the process of setting it up for this function. Hope it helps. Cheers, Tony - WTA.
DOES anyone happen to know if the Splits function is like other Casio? e.g. On the W-734, you press 'Split' and it will retain the split time on the screen for 8 seconds, before reverting to the chronograph time --- latterly, you can recall the Splits individually > which is the ideal, for runners. I'm drawn to this watch, as the large digital format is great - but I do wonder about the split function. Thanks in advance for any input folks! :-)
Hi there, not sure if it is any help to you but if you click on the link listed below it will take you to an instructional PDF that is on the Casio website and I believe that it mentions about the Stopwatch function on page two. Personally I don't think it does offer the feature that the W-734 has but it is definitely worth a look. support.casio.com/storage/en/manual/pdf/EN/009/qw3239.pdf Hope it helps! Cheers, Tony - WTA
@@wetryanythingchannel Thanks for taking the time to reply. I've had a look at one PDF on the Casio website, but I will gladly check the link you've given - it might show more detail than the one I found. Much appreciated! :-)
Hi there and I totally agree with you. You can get a product like PolyWatch which will help lessen the scratches that can occur on these watches and I have used it for a fair few Casio's that I have bought from eBay and it is a great product and costs about £4 from the likes of amazon or ebay. I have a video that features PolyWatch and what it is like to use if it is any help to you. ua-cam.com/video/fVwkXxTHtAg/v-deo.html Cheers, Tony - WTA
Hi there, if you fast forward to 5:57 on the video it does show the Stopwatch function where i think I did quickly show the lap timer but (and I may be wrong here as I don’t have the watch to hand) I think it only has the one. Hope it helps and Merry Christmas! Cheers, Tony - WTA
Having a stopwatch feature is fine and dandy......... However, It would have been quite essential if it also would have had a programmable timer as well 🤔
Hi there and thank you for your question. It is hard to say as I have only had the watch since just before Christmas therefore it hasn't really been exposed to too much wear and tear at the moment. It also depends on what your definition of durable is as to some they may wish to have a cheap watch that they can wear while working in a heavy manual work environment like a building site or other wearers may just wish to use it when out running or doing anything else that may damage their more expensive watch, so they can wear it with less care. You have to remember that they are a cheap range of watches that can be bought for as little as £10 and therefore are made up of plastic straps with a watch face that may scratch quite easily. So it will depend on where you wish to wear it that will effect its durability. The only thing I would say is that I did read a great comment that said that Casios have a 10 year battery life but a 2 year strap life and I can well agree with that so it is a case if you get what you pay for. I might be worth having a look on UA-cam for other reviews of this watch and see if anyone has mentioned or illustrated how durable these watches are. Hope it helps! Cheers, Tony - WTA
Unfortunately, I am unable to advise a better watch for the money that would be more durable but if it is any use to you I did receive a comment from a user under the name of 'deltafoxtrot2' who commented after you saying the following... 'Great review of a very honest watch, the W-96H is a great watch, I bought one in 2007 and it is still on its first battery.

Quick question. Looking at the very top area of the bezel, the gray area between the silver section and the thin black section, is that like a light gray, a gun metal gray, or a dark charcoal gray? 🤔 I only ask because I do understand that sometimes actual color detail in uploaded video content may vary according to camera quality as well as lighting conditions during footage production. I have taken notice in other photographs of this watch in Amazon and in other videos where this gray area does appear to have quite a dark tone, where in others, it displays a rather light color. Thank you.
@@wetryanythingchannel Yes. Thank you very much. The reason I asked was because they don't sell this particular model anywhere in local stores anymore and I can only purchase it online...........and sometimes, exact color of the product can vary from numerous photos and footages.
I think Amazon might be your friend with this one as their returns policy tends to be ok (worth checking before you buy) if it isn’t the watch for you. Good luck with your search!! Cheers, Tony - WTA
Wow a 10 inch wrist!! It is hard to say but it works well on my inadequate 6.5 inch wrist. So with a very large wrist it may be a little lost, but I could be wrong in saying that. Your best bet would be to try one on for size and see how you go. If it doesn’t look right to you then why not try the Casio AE1500WH. Big watch with a massive display and I would imagine would work well on your wrist. Hope it helps! Cheers, Tony - WTA

a suggestion: paint the silver area with black permanent marker . than scratch few lines. Watch ll get metallic old finish instead of childish silver...
Does it have timer?
Hi, I’ve already owe the Casio 168WA. I’m planning to get one for Christmas but I’m
Confused to choose between the F91W VS AE1200WH vs W96 vs DW5600
Pls suggest lol
The Casio DW5600 looks a great watch and that would be my choice but it is all down to personal preference and budget but check out the Casio W-800H (amzn.to/3mJgAG9) as that is a great looking watch and very affordable.
Hope it helps!

I have half a dozen Casio's (F91-W, A163, MRW200, WS1300, AE1200, and this one). Overall, based on form, function and price, this is the pick of the bunch. It was on offer for £10 when I bought it as well.
I do think that the Casio W-96H is still a great watch to own, even after all of the Casios I have featured on the channel.
You should check out the Casio W-800H if you get the chance as it is like the w-96h but a little more chunkier.

@@wetryanythingchannel Cheers, Tony. It's on my list, though I'm taking a break from buying any more for now as I've gone a bit overboard since I posted that comment. (Up to 12 Casios now, with an A100WEL, an A700WEG, and the MTP1314 you also reviewed to unbox tonight.)
Whats probably the biggest digital display model they have? My dad has pretty bad eyesight and i would like to find the easiest one to read for him
Hi there and thank you for your question. The display on this watch is pretty big for its size but check out the Casio AE-1500WH-1AVCF, it may be a better option for your dad though it does seem like a pretty big watch - amzn.to/3vzsuag (please note that it is an affiliate link but at least you can take a look at it and maybe search on google to see if you can get it cheaper if it is the watch for you.)
Hope it helps!

This is a good watch for your dad or the A1500 which might be bigger and it is round.
The Casio W800h is the better watch for less Money
With a replaceble strap and the same Features.
Thank you for commenting and it's a great suggestion! I will have to check it out and post a review video on the channel in the near future, so if you haven't already done so then don't forget to subscribe!

And twice more water resistance
Your videos are fantastic thank you for sharing this watch it is super nice I like it it's basic it's big you can read the display clearly very nice I just wish it was like the other models 200 m 🇺🇸👍😎💖
I have this watch. Best watch.
As a student can I use it in my daily routine.
Does it fit nice in my average hands
Hi there and thank you for your question. All I would say is that it will depend on what your daily routine is and it will sit on most peoples hands due to it not being a large timepiece though I am wondering if you mean your wrist as opposed to you hands?

I’m looking for digital casio (not g-shock/protrek), stainless steel case, 50m water resistant at least, has timer & stopwatch function... is there any casio like this?
Look up Casio AE 1500.
@@ashinterceptor thanks for your reply… but it’s not stainless steel case
@@sindbadsailor7868 Oh ok, then look up Casio-AE-1200WHD-1AVDF aka Casio Royale
Id LOVE to buy one of these W-96H watches as I love the LARGE display, but again those D**N proprietary straps are a huge deal breaking PITA - always too short to fit my large wrist and impossible to replace with anything else except the factory strap which costs as much as the watch or more depending on where you go - Come on Casio, make your watches without the pos integrated bands and put regular 22mm lugs on so we can choose a band that fits and lasts more than a year or two. I know Casio wants us to just throw away the watch and buy another one, but that doesnt work on me because the dam one off integrated bands wont fit me in the first place so no sale from me Casio even though I like your watches.
I am with you on that as the Casio W-96H is more or less the same price to buy brand new as is to get a replacement Casio strap for, which is mad really and a bit of a shame. Unfortunately it seems to be the society we live in at the moment and hopefully one day it will change for the better.
Thank you for commenting.

Good light, tough little watch takes a beating replacement straps cost peanuts and battery just keeps on going.
All for a tenner
Totally agree!! Great watch and I love how big the display is on them without affecting the case size too much. You should check out the Casio W-800H (which I have only reviewed the other day), another great watch like the Casio-96H and it is only £10 more.

This is the watch Debra Morgan wore on Dexter
watch with date time and alarm is all i need. for the rest I have a smartphone.
Im confuse between this wach and f91w which is best and solid plss reply
In my opinion I preferred this watch over the F91w as the display is bigger and the time display I found better due to the extra size. I also preferred how it felt on my wrist over the F91w plus I found it easier to operate with the slightly larger side buttons.
So for me it is this watch over the F91w which I hope helps you in your decision with my reasons for my choice above.

This watch is far superior to the f91w.buy this one for a little more money
Can you replace the straps without something else?
Hi there, from what I can see and understand, without taking the watch strap arrangement apart, I don't think you can but if anyone has then please comment below.
Cheers,
Tony - WTA
Perfect watch
But strap will brake easy
Does the watch pipe every hour? (Does it make sound when the clock hits, for example 12:00, 13:00, 14:00)
From what I can see with the watch featured on the channel it does seem to have an hourly chime. Here is a link to the manual PDF that Casio have for this watch which has the module number of 3239 stamped on the back of the watch: support.casio.com/storage/en/manual/pdf/EN/009/qw3239.pdf
The manual which I have linked to describes how to go through the process of setting it up for this function. Hope it helps.

Great video! Chock full of information.
Thank you for your kind comment!

DOES anyone happen to know if the Splits function is like other Casio?
e.g. On the W-734, you press 'Split' and it will retain the split time on the screen for 8 seconds,
before reverting to the chronograph time --- latterly, you can recall the Splits individually >
which is the ideal, for runners.
I'm drawn to this watch, as the large digital format is great - but I do wonder about the split function.
Thanks in advance for any input folks! :-)
Hi there, not sure if it is any help to you but if you click on the link listed below it will take you to an instructional PDF that is on the Casio website and I believe that it mentions about the Stopwatch function on page two. Personally I don't think it does offer the feature that the W-734 has but it is definitely worth a look.

@@wetryanythingchannel Thanks for taking the time to reply. I've had a look at one PDF on the Casio website, but I will gladly check the link you've given - it might show more detail than the one I found. Much appreciated! :-)
This is an excellent beater watch.
What Do U Do IF the strap does break either within Or After the guarantee period?... :)
Cheap enough to get another one. I just got one on eBay for $10.
it would be great if they add scratch resistant glass for a few extra quid, that is the weak point of this watch, otherwise it's really great.
Hi there and I totally agree with you. You can get a product like PolyWatch which will help lessen the scratches that can occur on these watches and I have used it for a fair few Casio's that I have bought from eBay and it is a great product and costs about £4 from the likes of amazon or ebay.
I have a video that features PolyWatch and what it is like to use if it is any help to you.

Does it have lap stopwatch? I want to hold multiple times at the same time
Hi there, if you fast forward to 5:57 on the video it does show the Stopwatch function where i think I did quickly show the lap timer but (and I may be wrong here as I don’t have the watch to hand) I think it only has the one. Hope it helps and Merry Christmas!
Cheers,
Tony - WTA
Having a stopwatch feature is fine and dandy......... However, It would have been quite essential if it also would have had a programmable timer as well 🤔
"A bricks and mortar shop here in the UK" ...Argos? ;-)
They're knocking this actual model out for a tenner atm.
Ha ha great guess!!! They are selling some really nice Casios quite cheap at the moment so well worth checking out.

I'll buy one for myself. ASAP
This watch is waterproof ?
It is water resistant to 50 metres.

is it durable?
Hi there and thank you for your question.
It is hard to say as I have only had the watch since just before Christmas therefore it hasn't really been exposed to too much wear and tear at the moment.
It also depends on what your definition of durable is as to some they may wish to have a cheap watch that they can wear while working in a heavy manual work environment like a building site or other wearers may just wish to use it when out running or doing anything else that may damage their more expensive watch, so they can wear it with less care.
You have to remember that they are a cheap range of watches that can be bought for as little as £10 and therefore are made up of plastic straps with a watch face that may scratch quite easily. So it will depend on where you wish to wear it that will effect its durability. The only thing I would say is that I did read a great comment that said that Casios have a 10 year battery life but a 2 year strap life and I can well agree with that so it is a case if you get what you pay for.
I might be worth having a look on UA-cam for other reviews of this watch and see if anyone has mentioned or illustrated how durable these watches are.
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
Tony - WTA
@@wetryanythingchannel sir plzzz suggest a less care and long lasting watch around 2000 INR😅😅😅
Unfortunately, I am unable to advise a better watch for the money that would be more durable but if it is any use to you I did receive a comment from a user under the name of 'deltafoxtrot2' who commented after you saying the following...
'Great review of a very honest watch, the W-96H is a great watch, I bought one in 2007 and it is still on its first battery. The face is very clear an I don't have to bring it up to my face to see it, the stopwatch is also very clear and I use it when running. The strap is it's achilles heel, mine snapped and also broke at the resin lug. I bought a new strap and super glued it to the shoulder, it been ok for the last 5 years. The alarm is a bit low and it your a bit hard of hearing ( like me) it probably won't wake you up. I would definitely buy another one, a superb beater watch. '
Hope it helps.

How do i change it to 24/12 hours? I can't do it
Just press button with mark 12/24 H (lower right side button)
The great japanese watch.
Can you install a stainless steel band on this watch?
Quick question. Looking at the very top area of the bezel, the gray area between the silver section and the thin black section, is that like a light gray, a gun metal gray, or a dark charcoal gray? 🤔
I only ask because I do understand that sometimes actual color detail in uploaded video content may vary according to camera quality as well as lighting conditions during footage production.
I have taken notice in other photographs of this watch in Amazon and in other videos where this gray area does appear to have quite a dark tone, where in others, it displays a rather light color. Thank you.
Hi there, hopefully I have understood the area you are referring to and to me it seems to be a dark grey. Hope it helps!
Cheers,
Tony - WTA.
@@wetryanythingchannel Yes. Thank you very much. The reason I asked was because they don't sell this particular model anywhere in local stores anymore and I can only purchase it online...........and sometimes, exact color of the product can vary from numerous photos and footages.
I think Amazon might be your friend with this one as their returns policy tends to be ok (worth checking before you buy) if it isn’t the watch for you. Good luck with your search!!
Cheers,

that "10 year battery " hope they ditch it or bring down the alarm chrono
9.99 at argos get them while u can

You need friends to talk to,
You like to talk
LOL
no want, only one led on the corner; bad casio, need 2 leds at least!!!
A watch should be worn behind the wrist bone not on it. You look like a kid wearing his dad's watch.
It looks fine. So shut up.
I just measured my wrist and it's 10 inches. Would this look small on it?
Wow a 10 inch wrist!! It is hard to say but it works well on my inadequate 6.5 inch wrist. So with a very large wrist it may be a little lost, but I could be wrong in saying that.
Your best bet would be to try one on for size and see how you go. If it doesn’t look right to you then why not try the Casio AE1500WH. Big watch with a massive display and I would imagine would work well on your wrist.
Hope it helps!
