Their timepieces were most famous for displaying time in multiple time zones at first. The special features later evolved to carry temperature, atmospheric pressure g shock protection and altitude recording. Equipped with receivers, the wristwatches can later synchronise with global radio towers and GPS to ensure the prefect timekeeping.
The monochrome layer, however, can be left on all the time and is much more glanceable if you don’t need to use it for anything complicated. A mostly full resin construction, with steel caseback, means the AE-1500 floats on the wrist – my scale measures right around two ounces all together. The practically nonexistent lugs are seamlessly integrated with the resin strap that shoots straight down, ensuring a compact 54.4mm lug-to-lug distance.
This additional layer makes the watch particularly scratch-resistant. Its case measures 37.4 x 35.5 mm and looks good on any wrist size. Like the rest of the A700 series, Casio equips this Vintage watch with acrylic glass.
G-Shock GAS-100B-7A by Casio. Ana-Digital “three-eyed monster” dial. G-Shock GA140DC-1A by Casio. Yellow dial with 3-D design. Resembles a 90`s stereo component device or portable music player.
Casio, a well-known Japanese watchmaker, is sought-after for its high-caliber and durable timepieces with very affordable prices. Since its official debut in 1974, the brand has been a prominent name in the industry as one of the pioneers and best manufacturers of quartz watches in the market. Finally, perhaps you’re way too advanced for digital watches and rather lean on the analog display of the truly timeless. This simple Casio watch will run you the same as the sport watch and likely fits better with a nice going-out suit than the former. I always try to keep a watch on my wrist for easy access to the time as even the best smartphone begs to be pulled from a pocket before it will confirm the date.
Turn the watch over carefully to check the dial to ensure that it is working. If the watch is not working, remove and reinsert the battery. Many es have a rubber seal that makes the timepiece water-resistant, so ensure that this is positioned correctly. Close the case and check the watch again to make sure that it is still working. Reset the time and any other functions, such as the date.
