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). Synthetic resin is the ideal material for wrist straps thanks to its extremely durable and flexible properties. Is it unique?– in the sense that it has its own vibe going on, or has a very distinctive feature or design element. The daily alarm reminds you about recurring events with an acoustic signal at the time you have set. This model has 5 independent alarms for flexible reminders of important appointments. The 20ATM water resistance of this product enables you to swim, snorkel and platform dive. Recreational scuba-diving at shallower depths is also permitted. Casio's creation has a case size of 46.7 mm. Handy features include: day alarm. Casio Watches: Price UK

For fans of precision: the countdown timers help you to remember specific or recurring events by giving off an audible signal at a preset time. The time can be set to the nearest minute and up to 24 hours in advance. Ideal for people who need to take medicines every day or those who do interval training. As like all decent quartz watches it should be very accurate. Since this watch uses radio signal time sync, then as long as it can receive the signal the accuracy should very tight. If the watch is free running without radio signal time sync it should keep better than 10 seconds per month. The feature of permanent displaying the home time sacrificed the stopwatch somewhat. It still runs to a maximum of 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds, but the old module offered 1/100 of a second for the full maximum duration of the stopwatch. With the new module, 1/100 of a second is only available for the first hour (59′ 59” 99”’), thereafter the maximum accuracy is one second. For me, the permanent availability of the time in the display is way more usable. Alarms and Timer Previous Update: The English manuals are now available for module 3495 (all models excluding G-5600UE) and module 3496 (G-5600UE). In the list of 48 cities (plus UTC), three cities have been changed. Miami, Toronto, and Santiago were sacrificed, while Kathmandu, Buenos Aires, and Fernando de Noronha were added. Here the first and last are the most important because they led to the availability of two additional time zones. Katmandu lives at GMT +5 3/4 of an hour, and Fernando de Noronha at GMT -2 hours. Both time zones were not available in the old module and made the total number of different time zones grow to 31 in the new one.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 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! Home city time and world time display swap in world time mode by pressing the top two buttons (A and B) at the same time The display is easy to read, and the logic of the functions are simple to use. The only thing I found difficult are the buttons (pushers) are a bit on the small size, making the need for a bit of extra effort to push them. This is not a serious issue. When the buttons are a bit harder to push this is better for not having them pushed by accident. The resin housing is the ideal everyday companion. It is durable, lightweight and relatively insensitive to cold, heat or other external influences.

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. Invisible solar cells in the watch convert light into energy and supply all functions. A rechargeable battery provides the necessary capacity for operation in poor light conditions. o Smallish display - Being older, it's not always easy to read all the text, the time is fine but could be bigger and date is mostly readable, but everything else need 2x mag for me 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 ) o Features - It has a lot of features and with 3 Second light, Timer, Alarm, World Time and water resist that works for meI don't know if this band style is a Japanese-market thing, but I am not a fan of this flat band that doesn't have the "links" where the band attaches to the module. It looks bloated, and shapeless in comparison to the normal band. Other features include Tough Solar power, Multi-Band 6 automatic radio time syncing (except for G-5600UE), mineral glass, full auto calendar, 1/100-second stopwatch with split, 1st and 2nd place (1/100-second for first hour, 1-second after first hour), 5 alarms with 1 snooze, adjustable hourly time signal, power saving function, 12-24 hour format, and button tone on/off. 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.
