They really look great and should appeal to all gentlemen who wants a goodlooking, super-accurate watch with a classic, analog look and feel. Since many years Casio has been standing as an undisputed leader, emphasizing on the fact that it was the first brand that developed digital and analog quartz crystal watches. Casio kept on striking the market year after year with new technological innovations.

LCW-M100TSE-1AER | Radio Controlled | Watches - CASIO

The quality assurance and ‘true to its specifications' feature of Casio's offerings have always made it conquer the rest, the watches by Casio flawlessly take ahead this legacy. The slate blue sunburst dial doesn’t call attention to itself, but captures the eye with 3D hour indices projecting inwards from the slightly elevated chapter ring. The Lineage’s sword-shaped lumed hour and minute hands contrast legibly against the dial; the virtually hair thin second hand can get lost in the old razzle dazzle (a.k.a, bright sunlight).A classic semi-dressy ana-digi watch design. Case finish is decently polished but nothing special. Sunburst effect is overdone, distracting from the hands.

The LCW-170M-1AER model of the lineage series has 5 alarms with 60 minutes stop-watch. The Casio Lineage watch is normally known from the adventure-driven outdoor watches. This also has LED night lighting feature and battery power indicator. Many reasons for it standing out from all other types and brands of watches. This Casio solar watch has a sapphire crystal without an anti-reflection coating. With an off white dial and luminous hands, this Casio watch is extremely attractive and appealing. The Casio Lineage collection serves a more classy and elegant purpose. Despite its beauty, remarkably, the dial also houses a solar cell as part of the ‘tough solar’ technology. This is a solar-powered system, akin to Citizen’s ‘eco-drive’, which allows the watch battery to be charged directly from exposure to sunlight. According to the manual, this takes just 8 minutes to fully charge in outdoor sunlight and can hold the power reserve for a minimum of 4 months, even with no further exposure to light. This means battery changes aren’t going to be needed nearly as frequently as with a traditional quartz movement; there are reports of some of these even lasting several decades before failing to hold a charge.

It would have been the icing on the cake with a rating of 100 m or more, but on the other hand the Lineage models are not meant to compete with outdoor watches, they are after all watches designed with dress code in mind, so in reality there is no need for more. 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.
