I bought this watch for a timed test because I wanted a rotating bezel (the test does not allow digital timers). This watch is serviceable and attractive enough, however the quality and features would make me rethink this purchase given the chance.
NEGATIVES
I found that the analog timer on this watch is very useful, except when the hands are covering the tiny timer dials. For this reason, I couldn't always rely on the timer. The bezel is absolutely garbage. It gets stuck for no reason, and when it's not stuck it's too loose to keep your place reliably. If you're looking for a quick way to time a close approximation, the bezel may be for you.
The watch is simple to adjust if you've ever used an analog watch, it's standard.
The quality of construction is questionable. For the reasons metioned above (lame bezel), as well as just the overall feel. The band is disproportionately weighted to the watch itself, and everything just feels cheap. I realize this isn't meant to be a rolex, but for $100 I feel that you could get a better watch.
POSITIVES
The watch has kept time very accurately to the best of my knowledge. It's also easy to use. The problems I've had occur infrequently, so overall this is a highly functional watch. I really like that it's extremely waterproof. It also looks decently cool, depending on your tastes. I have gotten compliments on this watch, however it is not at all flashy. I've dropped the watch a few times and it remains undented and still working smoothly.
VERDICT
Decent looking, sturdy construction, cheap materials, unique features. Large, easy-to read face. Rotating bezel and analog timer. If you need the features that this watch offers and can't find it at a better price, then this watch is serviceable. Its lifetime warranty suggests that this watch will keep working for a long time. However value-wise, if you just want a good looking watch that tells the time, you can definitely find better products for your money.Get more detail about Casio Men's Ana-Digi Chronograph Dive Watch #AMW330D-1AV.
