AQS800W Series | Analog Digital Watch | 100M WR | Solar Powered | 1/100 SEC Stop Watch | 6-Language Day of The Week Indicator | Countdown Timer | LED Light | Multi Alarm

Changing the time and other functions: I’ve been to a watch repair shop several times in the past few years to have a battery replaced, and in two shops I was asked if I could leave it overnight. I was amused to find out why they needed 24 hours to replace a battery, which is because they are embarrassed about needing the time to find someone who knows how to set the time etc. The last guy I went to who wanted 24 hours confessed and told me he had to have his wife figure out how to set the time and whatnot. Another person who left a review on this mentioned he was able to change the functions without the manual. Even as a retired engineer I’m not quite that good. It’s nice that most the gadgets we get these days have a user manual included, but if you use it you’d better have a good magnifying glass to see that tiny print. Thank God for those all so nice pdf user manuals available online. Pros: 1- It's fabulous the way the analog hands automatically move to the correct time position after you set the digital time. 2- You can be at the North Pole or one of those places where it’s dark for six months, and the charge on your solar watch battery will last that long (actually ten months). 3- The battery never has to be replaced. 4- Displays both Digital and Analog time. 5- Glow in the dark hands and 12, 3, 6 & 9 positions. 6- Battery indicator tells you if the battery is low, middle or hi charge. 7- You don't have to have sunlight to charge - Charges well with indoor lighting. Went from Middle Charge to High Charge in a few hours with indoor lighting. So don't worry about cloudy days. 8- The low cost for such a good quality watch with so many features does not break the bank. Cons: 1- Minor – The analog glow in the dark feature isn’t very bright, but it’s okay since you can press the light button that illuminates the digital time. 2- Minor – List of city codes is limited. Many cities are not on the list. But if your city is not on the list you can pick one that’s in the same time zone as you, which could mean you may not have the automatic Daylight Savings Time, and may have to change it manually. 3- Minor - The sound of the chime or alarm is not very loud. Yes, I admit to being a gadget freak, and as such I will also admit to this being my second solar powered watch. The first was a little less money and does not have a rechargeable battery but I decided to keep it because it looks nice. This one is my favorite because the battery is rechargeable & I like all the features. It's my second Casio watch. The first one I've had for several years and I love it as well, with all it's features of Altimeter, Barometer etc. So I can definitely recommend Casio watches.

Okay, so I've spent thousands of dollars on over dozens of fancy watches over the years that are a pain in the ass because you have to replace the batteries and adjust the time and dates, mostly because I thought if you want something that looked nice, you gotta pay big bucks for it. I've recently become a salesman, and the first thing they told me about my appearance, is you gotta shave the beard, and you gotta lose the fancy shiny expensive looking watches...because it made me look like I was into it for the money (that's a no-no). One of my coworkers who makes over 100k a year said he bought one of these for $40 at a place that rhymes with moles. It looks sporty and less dressy, and if I insisted on wearing a watch, go for something like this. When I saw this watch at the department store, I thought it looked pretty sweet. I knew nothing about what it did, then read the reviews on Amazon and decided for $30, who gives a crap? If I don't like it I'll send it back. I've had it for an hour, been tinkering around, and all I can say is WOW. First thing you need to do when you get this watch is adjust it to your time zone. What's awesome about this, is that it KNOWS what time zone you're in, *IF* you know how to adjust it. PRO TIP: Hold down the adjust button for five seconds and the hands will move by themselves to 12:00. Then hold adjust again for 2 seconds and the watch will AUTOMATICALLY set the digital and analog time (yes, the analog will spin clock or counter-clockwise on its in to match the digital) to your time zone on its own for you. *MIND BLOWN* So anytime I get on a plane and fly, all I have to do is repeat this sequence, not even know what time it is or the zone I'm in, and the watch resets the time for me. KICK FRIGGIN ASS! Not to mention it has a second time zone so you could know what time it is in Bangladesh (useless for me but cool nonetheless), 5 alarms, a stopwatch, military or standard time, the date, the day of the week, and probably a bunch of other features I'll learn about eventually but will probably never use. Then it's got a light for the digital that you can program for the amount of seconds you want it to light up! SCHA-WING! It's also solar which means I'll never have to pay for a battery because I'm outside in the sun for atleast an hour every day. Waterproof, lightweight, feels durable on my wrist. The glass over the watch feels cheap, but to be honest, who cares it's a work watch. And if the glass happens to break, woe is me, it's going to be another thirty bucks. Boo Hoo. The manual is a beast and after 20 minutes of reading, I gave up and went to Google, and found my answers. Why rifle through a manual with the internet on your side? When you ask a question just include Casio Module 5208 and many of my questions were answered. Never thought I'd come upon such a great watch that looks so good while being so cheap, and has so many features, for such a great price tag. 100% satisfied off the bat, everything else is icing on the cake. If you're on the fence, GET THIS WATCH you will NOT regret it!

Just purchased this to replace my daily wear watch that died. Seems to be a decent watch. The instructions are terrible. Had to watch a YouTube video to actually figure out how to set it up the way I wanted. Lack of an analog second hand is little annoying. If this had an analog second hand and less functions, that most people will never use, this would be a 5 starrer for sure.

Great watch so far solar recharging works great easy to see and read and works great for what I want pretty much being able to see the time and date really don't use any of the other functions on the watch very comfortable band seems very sturdy and well made I have had a number of these style watches over the past several years and really enjoy them but they last about a year or year and a half and either the strap breaks or the battery runs out This Casio so far seems much sturdier than the cheaper watches I have owned and the solar powered battery will allow it to last several years so for me its just what I wanted a simple watch that is easy to read, looks good and should last me for 10 years or more just what I wanted and at a very reasonable price for what you get in the watch will update after I've had it a few years to see how it actually holds up but so far seems excellent and a great buy

This review is for the Casio CAS91 "Tough Solar Illuminator" watch with hands (AQS810W-1AV). I'm a timepiece SNOB. You know that for sure, because I called it a "timepiece". :) Normally, I don't purchase watches unless they're made by Citizen but, Casio should NEVER be underestimated!!! This watch actually has precise movement of the hands... no having to align the minute hand precisely on your own. Set the time digitally and, voila... the hands move RIGHT to where their supposed to be!!! No, it DOES NOT have a second hand (that's the only thing that I wish it DID have) BUT, not to worry!!! Seconds are always displayed on the digital display in when it is set to time or date mode... so, tho it may not have a second hand, it still has a seconds display. Easy-to-read instructions and a limited, 1-year manufacture's warranty are included. You could set the watch on your own, as the buttons are adequately marked and placed intuitively; I was able to set mine without using the instructions, and I'm NOT a "digital watch" guy. Great and inexpensive enough for kids but, probably a bit bulky for them. Recommend for ages, say, 13/14 and up. Yet, for adults, classy and jazzy enough to be considered a dress watch from sports player to top business executives. Easy to keep clean; a little bit of Windex and a soft cloth or the soap you use to wash your hands will keep it looking sharp!!! Glow in the dark hands make night viewing of the time on the analog hands a breeze, and they retain their luminescence WELL into the night, for those of you who wear a watch to bed. The on-board light is handy, as well, and only illuminates the watch when you press the button---thus, increasing battery savings. The battery recharges from nearly dead to full charge in approximately 4 hours, if adequate sunlight is available BUT, be sure NOT to leave the timepiece exposed to direct sunlight when the temperate is above 50F/10C, or the unit will get very hot, and you may damage it. Once the unit has a full charge, indoor lighting is usually enough to keep it fully charged. It will notify you when you need to charge it. Calendar is perpetual and never needs to be adjusted. MINE showed up with the time and date already set for my time zone. 5 programmable alarms are available to help you keep a schedule (sans smart phone!!!), and the model is INCREDIBLY DURABLE. It can be worn in the shower or whilst swimming to a depth of 100 metres or approximately 300 feet. Stopwatch and timer features make it a great watch for the sporty type... choose your own Time Zone, 12/24 hour display, UTC/"Zulu" time available in analog or digital. A NICE, LONG WRIST BAND makes it a total win for the big and tall folks (my original purpose for the purchase, I was NOT disappointed!!!) 5 STARS!!! Cheapest price that I found for it was Amazon.com; free, standard shipping got it here within 2-3 business days.

Pros , solar /no battery ever needed . I work on boats from sanding Teak and chemicals, oil salt water the very affordable watch keeps time set it to your time zone and done . Keeps perfect time , I’ve beat this watch down ! Trust Casio they say timex that’s s licking keeps ticking (a great selling slogan) but Casio watches will too also ! I personally have grown to like this little very affordable watch . it does not need any Matnace ! Oly con: the band is not the same color white ( if your a.d.d. Or things like that bother you ( plan on buying a band ) . And the light is dim. Barely can read the time at night. And there’s no military time markings on it . Or tide setting. Is just a basic as they get solar watch that is tuff for a watch . Hope this helps your choice ( Casio has great reputation) if your seeking a watch under $50 dollars a solar powered Casio this was the first option I’m writing this review after I had the each watch 3 years now . It’s still my work watch ( I have a few very nice looking watches that where 300 and all but one the batteries all are dead . This watch will stay working 3 years beat it to death !! And only con is the black logos will come off and band is a different color ( for a watch for work ) if your add the color band will drive you insane! But I’m going to buy a white silicone band/ bracelet from a reputable company. And this watch will probably last a very long time ! Like u said I am really hard on a watch . This thin solar is like a g-shock tuff and not bulky. Will last ( your not going to pull chicks with it but I have had complaints on it , and people have asked what type of watch is that .. I have nice things and I’m happy with this watch ( cons band and light ) but my Rolex submariner that’s outrageously priced has a weak lume too . So I say if you like a clean watch that will tell the time for the day can’t go wrong with this watch

The "Analog" part of this watch is easily readable though it is a bit weird to call it Analog since it is tied directly to the digital part of the watch. You "set" the digital watch and then watch the analog part of the watch automatically match the time you set on the digital watch. That's all fine and dandy but the digital watch face (LCD) is a bit small and harder to read than I would prefer. Not helpful in that issue is that there are periods of time when the minute or hour hand will be sitting right over top of that display obliterating part of it and making it harder to see. Finally, also directly impacting my own personal satisfaction is that part of the display is pretty much set to show the seconds in digital form and that part of the display is where I would much prefer to see the year part of the date, or would prefer to have the display show me DAY-of-week MONTH and DAY (so something like MON 1-13 as an example). There's also the space that is used there to show the charging activity from the solar charging. I don't mind that but think it would have made more sense to add that as a separate display in another lesser used area of the analog watch face. If that was done that would leave more room for the digital display to be more readable for persons that want to clearly see that part. I do like that the watch has multiple alarms though find that isn't really able to handle all of what I would like to do. Unlike a smart watch that would be tied to my phone and pick up a different alarm each day if I needed it, this watch offers a single time for the alarms that are set and doesn't care about day-of-the-week or date at all. So if I need a reminder on Wednesday at 1:30pm, I can't set that up on this watch unless I want the same alarm every other day of the week. Similarly, I need or want an alarm at 9:25am to remind me of a Monday-Friday meeting and I get to have the same alarm on Saturday and Sunday even if I don't need it then. I know, I know, this isn't a smart watch and doesn't have that much flexibility but I still wish for a bit more. I also know if I it was as flexible as I hoped for it would be harder to set the alarms on this watch, especially since it isn't a smart watch and has no interface over to any external source such as a phone or computer. Since I can't use a smart watch during my normal work day (prohibitions in my work place and all that) and can't have the cell phone there anyway having a simpler watch that doesn't offer or use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi is a requirement and this seems to me to be among the best of my available choices. For the price point this is a nice watch. Not perfect, but definitely useful and delivering fair value. Younger eyes might not see the issue with the digital display. I didn't separately rate water resistance as I'm not really trying that hard to use this where I might need water resistance. (Yet). Same for Timer Function which I normally don't need to use.

Awesome watch!! I bought this watch three weeks ago, and I couldn't be more pleased. I needed a watch with a rubber strap. I work with natural stone, and the majority of the tools we use are water tools. I have never owned a watch with a rubber bracelet before this one, and I am very impressed with how comfortable and easy to keep clean it is. I also enjoy the green, orange and black color scheme. This watch has held up great! I shower with, swim, and work in this watch. I am very rough on this thing, and so far it has handled everything well. The solar feature works great! I received it with a full charge, and after the first day it dropped to medium. I placed it in a window seal for a few hours, and it has held a full charge ever since. I enjoy how lightweight and comfortable this watch is as well. It fits well on my medium sized wrist, it is not too big and bulky, but it is not a small watch either. The large numbers on the dial glow, and the digital screen has an illumination light. The digital display is kind of small, but the analog is very easy to read. The Arabic numerals are very large making them easy to read. This watch has all the great features you would want from a digital watch, with the style of an analog watch. All of the digital features are easy to use. I have always worn, and preferred an analog watch, so the : stopwatch, dual timers, and alarms have all been nice to have. The watch comes with a manual, but it is kind of small and hard to read. I would recommend going to Casio's web page where you can view, save, and print a much larger and easier to read version of the manual. The manual is easy to understand, and the watch is easy to program. This is my first Casio, and I could not be more pleased! I'm now thinking about investing in a G-Shock. The digital features on this watch have made me want one with a larger digital display, so I am wanting to buy a digital only watch. The GW6900-1 looks cool and is atomic and solar! It is also a good buy at around $79.00 on amazon right now. Check it out too, if you think you want a full screen digital instead, and don't mind spending a little extra cash.
