CasioMW600F Series | Men’s Analog Watch | 100 Meter Water Resistance | Date Display | 3 Hands (Hour, Minute, Second) | Resin Case & Band | Resin/Spherical Glass | 10 Year Battery

A neat little watch, with an easy to read dial. It's a great everyday watch.

**Check out the other colors(all separate product listings), it comes in a red, black, silver or gold face, SEARCH> "Casio MW 600F" and they will all come up!** If you need a sporty looking timepiece that you don't want to babysit, guard and protect, then this is it! The size is perfect(not too big or too small) and it has a tasteful stylish sporty design that isn't too busy with detail. The date box is a good size and easy to see, plus the illuminated hands hold a good lasting charge off ambient light. The watch is very light in weight and has a super comfy resin band. I find this watch impossible to beat at its price point considering it's fit, finish and function. I am thankful that Casio has not discontinued this model and I have owned 4 of them in the last 10yrs or so(I usually lose them and just buy another!). I have swam with them a couple of times as well as inadvertently exposing them to water both fishing and working and I never had a condensation problem! (*the crystal does scratch easier than more expensive watches but you can't have everything!)THIS IS THE PERFECT BEATER, DISPOSABLE WATCH, AND SERVES IT'S ROLL IDEALLY FOR UNDER $25 JUST GET IT!

Had a little trouble at the beginning setting the date, but eventually got it. You do it with the middle position of the knob. However, it only goes one way so if you happen to pass the day you wanted, you have to cycle all the way through to get it again. Other than that, the only minor complaint is that the hands are not very luminous in the dark, even after plenty of time exposed to light. Overall, it is a decent watch for the money. Very light and very comfortable. And of course, very good looking depending on your taste.

This watch arrived in the typical Casio packaging. The outer package was very easy to open with hands, no nails, no cutters, no hardware needed.The user manual is hiding at the bottom of the plastic watch tree. The user manual and the packaging too cover a lot of different Casio watches. You can find the model number at the bottom of the packaging, where the box is cut off. To cross reference the user manual, this watch is number 2719.To change the date, pull the crown slowly and carefully to the first position and roll the crown towards you. It changes days one by one.The mechanical date change assumes a 31-day month, so for the five months of the year that have less than 31 days, you have to manually fix the date. You can do it with the above technique, or just roll the time forward twice around the clock per day that you want to roll forward. I held off the review to verify this: the March 31 to April 1st transition happened automatically but the April 30 to May 1st transition did not happen automatically. In other words, the watch said "31" instead of "01". So the date must be changed manually for the five months that have less than 31 days. This may be a deal killer if you must have the date and do not want to manually fix it 5x per year.To change the time, pull the crown to the second (most outer) position and roll the crown backwards or forward to adjust.I had two Casio Men's MQ24-7B2 Analog Black Resin Strap Watch watches which I love for their simplicity, size and price. But within 2.5 years, both their straps broke and one of the batteries died. I was using them sequentially, not in parallel. As much as I love them, getting a new one or new parts every year seemed wasteful. Not necessarily the cost ($5 to $10) but wasting resources. So what drew me to this model is the promise of a 10 year battery. The MQ24s come with a standard 3 year battery promise. The strap on this one feels sturdier and is thicker than the MQ24 but only time will tell how long the strap and battery will last. I will try to update this after a couple of years.This is the MW600F which is available in multiple colors. There are also slightly different designs that are part of the MW600 series. Given that the date does not change automatically, this may turn off some people from getting the design with the date. Some of the other MW600 designs don't have a date. Just the time and nothing more!This watch has a crown and nothing else. No other buttons.So despite the date not being automatic, I am giving it five stars because of its price, simplicity, back to basics style, sturdier strap versus the MW24, and the promise of a ten year battery. Most of the MW600 series of watches are in the $15 to $20 range as of the review date.

The clunky hands are that way to show up in the dark. They're highly phosphorescent and different from each other so it's possible to tell time from them alone. The face marks are weakly phosphorescent and too small to be seen easily (in the dark—they show up well in light because they're highly reflective on a nearly black ground), and the luminous spots on 12, 6 & 9 are unintelligible (except to tell them apart, which just orients you to 12). Honestly, the 3 ugly numerals and absence of any but those 3 almost deterred me from buying what's otherwise a great watch, and I still think they're its weak link. A decent font would have made this a handsome watch. However, these work and everything else seems terrific. The yellow second hand stands out (and counting seconds is important to me), a bezel guard is important to me, light weight and modest size are important to me, genuine waterproofness is important to me, mineral glass is important to me… the list goes on. Bonus is that, tough as this watch is, the band doesn't pretend to be a dive-watch band, it pretends to be a leather dress band, meaning it has a subtle texture instead of pointless ribs and fake rivets. It's a typically excellent Casio analog watch in an atypically unobtrusive form factor, with second-tier durability, laudable simplicity and outstanding battery life. I have special-application watches but this is now the all day everyday watch.
