With the launch of its first watch in November 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market. In developing its own wristwatches Casio began with the basic question, “What is a wristwatch?” Rather than simply making a digital version of the conventional mechanical watch, we thought that the ideal wristwatch should be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way. Based on this, Casio was able to create a watch that displayed the precise time including the second, minute, hour, day, and month — not to mention a.m. or p.m., and the day of the week. It was the first watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that eliminated the need to reset the calendar due the variation in month length. R (more…)

I’d almost given up shopping for a new watch for my wife when the lady at Sears pointed out this new arrival. Why hasn’t Casio figured out women want small AND atomic, solar, an on/off light and waterproof earlier. My wife is forever asking me the accurate time as my Pathfinder resets atomically every night. Baby G’s don’t have solar and atomic, and “jelly” series is too big as are most for women. Small Baby G’s are cheap etc. Doesn’t Casio realize changing a battery loses a watches waterproof characteristics and basically trashes it? This watch looks much better in person than picture here. She loves the white band and the thing is SMALL. We went to many stores at the Mall and asked for these features available in men’s watches all day long. Fact it has analog face plus small digital readout is a plus. Thanks Casio for finally waking up to what women want!
For a better product view I provided two images; one holding the watch in my hand, and the other in the Casio packaging comparing the size with my men’s Breitling watch (click on “see all customer images”). I got this as a Christmas present for my mom so she wouldn’t ever have to change the battery or adjust the time. With solar power and radio signal time adjustments, this Casio is completely maintenance free. She loves it and it looks very nice. It almost looks like a luxury watch if it wasn’t for the white plastic wristband. I would have preferred a smaller leather band; if anyone knows whether this band can be swapped out with a different style please post a comment on my review. Someone commented on another review that they couldn’t find the instructions, but actually a thorough instruction booklet comes in the box. When first taking it out of the package, simply select your nearest major city and then the watch automatically adjusts the time, and that’s it. On the little digital display window you can choose to display the time, name of the day of the week, calendar date, or seconds. If it’s dark, press another button to activate the backlight for 1 second. This also has the full featured functionality Casio is known for such as alarm and timer. I read on a discussion forum that this model was made exclusively for Amazon, so I guess that would explain why I can’t find it on the Casio website. The solar cell is interesting because you won’t see any typical looking solar cell, just a very nice almost-sparkling pearly gray face. This ladies watch is fun for those who like high tech convenience, and would be perfect if there were some way to change the wristband.
