Typical, cheap, basic quartz is crazy-accurate by itself. I won't belabor the point, but Casio promises an accuracy of +/-15 seconds per month, which is equivalent to 0.5 seconds per day. That's standard for quartz without any additional features like radio-syncing, and it handily clobbers just about any mechanical watch. The resin housing is the ideal everyday companion. It is durable, lightweight and relatively insensitive to cold, heat or other external influences. You get a 3 year warranty-certificate for your new timepiece. If there is any problem with the mechanism, this certificate garanties a 100 % protection- meaning we take care of the technical integrity inbetween these 3 years. If solar power was not enough, this watchputs itself in power save mode (sleep mode) and shuts down the screen to save even more power. And even without power save mode or sun, it will still operate for 10 months straight (using it 18 hours a day). So really… don’t fear any power outage here! For athletes and all those who want to know exactly: Elapsed time, split time and end time are measured with an accuracy of hundredths of a second. The measuring capacity of the watch lasts up to 24 hours.

Whether in Europe, North America and Japan or in large parts of Canada, Central America and China - after the watch is set to the local time zone, it receives the corresponding radio signal and always displays the exact time. In many countries, it also sets summer and winter time on its own. Technical amendments and errors excepted. The sizes in figures do not correspond to the original sizes. m of water resistance, which is not always the case on all electronic watches (just don’t wear your watch in the shower, better safe than sorry). Meaning you can ash your hand, swim and dive with this one no problem. Independent and environmentally friendly, solar cells provide the power supply for the watch. Excess solar energy is stored in a rechargeable battery. o Cheapish Band - I like the Barton silicone watch bands as the are soft and supple. The Casio band is a bit stiff. It is durable and we'll see how well it holds up. (I'll replace it with a conversion kit if I ever have band issues)For the more down to earth, and more true to the original, resin models, the GW-M5610U with its new 3495 module is the first one to offer switchable DD/MM and MM/DD date notations. As a bonus, the DD day abbreviation can be set to six languages, English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Russian. The former model only had English as an option. World-time Adjustable 1.5 or 3 second afterglow for light (versus 1.5 second non-adjustable afterglow on module 3159) Is it unique?– in the sense that it has its own vibe going on, or has a very distinctive feature or design element.

o Buttons - I like the recessed buttons, I only had one incident where the alarm was accidentally enabled (Anybody tell me how that happened as it takes two different buttons to set )The daily alarm reminds you of daily recurring events, in which an acoustic signal is emitted at the set time. In addition, a switchable alarm draws attention to the expiry of each hour. This model has five independent alarms - especially convenient for taking medication on a daily basis or keeping regular appointments. Yes, this is a good thing. Digital is Casio's soul and strong suit, and the brand essentially owns the digital watch space — the brand's recent market research-based push toward more analog watches unfortunately dilutes the brand's character (though the "CasiOak" is admittedly a smash hit). o Features - It has a lot of features and with 3 Second light, Timer, Alarm, World Time and water resist that works for me One of the most convenient aspects of the watch is its radio signal receiver, which allows it to accurately display the time in different regions, including the EU, US, JP and CH. It also has a world time function, making it a perfect accessory for frequent travellers. o Display Real Estate - This goes along with the "Busy Extraneous Text" If they got rid of the unneeded text they could increase the display area.
