Casio
With the launch of its first watch in November 1974, Casio 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 entered this field confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market.
Today, Casio is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, atomic timekeeping means the users never have to reset the time. Recently, Casio launched a series of Bluetooth watches that sync to the users cell phone to automatically update the time. Casio is always moving time forward.

After wearing it for three days, I can say this watch is great & exactly what I expected. Well under 40mm across, so it’s not large on my average sized wrist. Astoundingly bright light (with a really cool multi-second fade, which I’ve never seen on a watch). And again, so lightweight you’re not even aware of its presence. Some people have asked if the hands are luminous; they are not.
The most puzzling thing about this watch was the strap that came with it. Very funny looking and bulky for everyday wear. The “leather” parts of the band were clearly shiny vinyl, which gave the band a cheap look. But I will say that the supplied band would probably work well for people who use the watch for camping, hiking, canoeing, etc. The band’s Velcro was very secure and easily adjustable to any lengthy and it would be quite easy to quickly put the watch over a jacket while cold weather fly fishing or something like that. Also the supplied strap seems like it would dry fast.
But because I planned to wear it was an everyday non-outdoorsy watch, I wanted to switch to a NATO strap, of which I have several. Here’s where I’d caution anyone planning to switch straps as I did. Most “lug widths” on watches are *even* millimeter widths, with 18, 20 & 22 being the most common, and 20mm being the most common of all for Timexes, Seikos, Citizens, etc. This watch is a 19mm lug width. Quite unusual. Straps, NATO and otherwise, with odd widths are difficult to find, but I happened to have one (the one featured in the photo). Is this lug width issue a huge deal? No. If you wanted to switch the watch to a NATO strap, and couldn’t find a 19mm, an 18 or 20 would work (with the former showing a bit of the metal pins and the latter being a snug fit).
But aside from the weird band issue — which worked out well for me — this is a perfect watch for a perfect price. Like many Casios, you’re talking about approximately $20 for a watch which will likely last years.
** One final note: I can’t vouch for the accuracy of this, but one YouTube review of this watch said it has two batteries— one for the quartz movement and another for the light. If this is true, this might be a reason to just get a brand new watch when the batteries die, since replacement of two batteries could equal the cost of the watch, especially if a jeweler were to charge you $20ish for installation of the two.

1) only about $20 (I paid $22)
2) completely silent/no ticking sound at all
3) easy to read dial
4) nice design/looks great
5) Lighted dial, to see time in the dark when press the easy-access button
6) comfortable watch band
7) easily-adjustable watch band -- especially good for those with skinny wrists. Velcro allows infinite adjustment, no need to try to punch additional holes into wrist band to tighten up on wrist
8) has date display
Bad things about this watch:
1) no day-of-week display
2) lighted dial not as good as Timex's Indiglo. Indiglo is top-notch. The lighted dial on the Casio is from a single-source tiny LED bulb. It does the job, but is "clunky" when compared to Indiglo.
Summary: Although I wanted a watch with lighted dial and day of week display, Casio does not offer this. Timex does have such a watch, but I rejected Timex because of its loud ticking. (Many people complain about the Timex very loud ticking. Sometimes people resort to placing the watch in a drawer or in another room at night!) The complete silence of the Casio was the deciding factor in its favor.
The Wrist Band:
I was a bit worried about the Velcro wrist band, due to vague complaints expressed in many reviews. I was not familiar with Velcro wrist bands and had never seen what these are. I was thinking it was a simple design whereby the portion attached to one side had the fuzzy stuff, and the portion attached to the other side had the barbed stuff. But, the wrist band is actually a much better design than what I had envisioned. (The seller does not provide a photo of the wrist band and how it functions -- which is a big mistake.)
The wrist band actually consists of a very short band attached to one side of the watch, with a plastic "loop" attached to it. The other side of the watch has a long band attached to it, with Velcro fuzz along its length until the last 2" or so, where the barbed stuff is located. The long band loops through the plastic "loop" located on the short band side. Then, you simply pull the long band until it tightens up satisfactorily on your wrist. It pulls the short side band, tightens, and then locks in place with the Velcro located on the long band.
Update: When changing the date at the end of the month, the date change just clicked with the date sticking. The first defect I have ever encountered in years of owning Casios (I currently own 3 others). Not enough to return since it does change if time is advanced 24 hours. But enough to remove 2 stars. Also I could use the Russian diver date hack. Just be aware that this is their super cheap line, so don't be surprised.

Kleines Manko: Das Armband ist für mein Handgelenk auf der kleinsten Stufe gerade passend und um die Uhr anzulegen muss ich das komplette Band öffnen.
Update:
Wer ein kratzfreies Ziffernblatt wünscht ist hier schlecht beraten. Das Ziffernblatt ist aus einer Art Acrylglas. Leider sehr anfällig. Für mich ein weiterer Punkt Abzug.
