CasioMen's FT500WV-3BV Analog Sport Watch

Me encantó este reloj es muy bonito, aplica perfectamente eso que dice que a veces menos es más, es muy bonito cómodo y genial

It's exactly what I needed

I like the easy reading dial and the simplicity. My first forester lasted three years until it took a sharp fall onto a hard floor, and I hated to see it go. The velcro band took some getting used to at first, but I learned to like it. If it picks up lint or whatnot, it won't hold as well, but you can rake it out occasionally to restore the grip. Casio revised a couple of things. My original had the luminous dim backlight that stays on for one second when you press the button, whereas the new one has an LED at 6 o'clock that stays on for 4 seconds. The new LED is far brighter, far brighter than necessary for reading the dial. You'd want to shield it in a dark theater. Maybe you'd want it as a quick flashlight. The batteries are different too. The old model FT-500 uses a single silver oxide coin cell, SR621W (363/364) whereas the new model FT-500W uses two coin cells, a silver oxide SR920SW (370/371) for the timekeeping and a lithium CR1616 for the backlight. The instruction manuals are on the Casio web site under codes 5170 and 5405 respectively. Overall a great value.

this rugged analog watch is great if you want to know the time while hiking or other outdoor activities. i'm not worried it will scratch, damage or stop working while I am exercising, etc. the velcro strap is a POS however. within a few days, the 'soft side' wore out, and the band will not stay on my wrist. i had to replace it with a $4.00 strap from walmart, which works better than the original.Good watch, bad strap.

Bought one over the counter for a whitewater rafting trip down the Grand Canyon last year. I live in a small town and there's no store that will change the battery out on the old one, so hey, bought a new one with a fresh battery. Yup, I know you don't need a watch down in the Grand Canyon but I use it at night to see what time it is when I wake up to walk down to the river. This one has a big button on the side. Push it and the dial lights up. So I know how much longer I have to sleep. Works great even after days in whitewater.

not as pictured in photo. face is tan, light is dull. sent back.

I've used this style when I was overseas and it kept up to the rain, sand, and heat spectacularly. So when I needed a new one I went back to old faithful. It is accurate and the illumination is excellent. As a result my one year old fell in love with it and has commandeered it from me. He has chewed it, thrown it, and smashed it on every surface he could find and it still holds up wonderfully. 10/10 would buy again.

this is my 3rd one of these and they take a beating and hold up for years.
