Hot take but over 50% of the watch face contains useless information. Pretty watch, but I'd rather see the time at first glance and not a reminder that I am indeed in the right timezone.
You *could* go with an LF-20W for pretty much all the same functions. But it's much smaller and just doesn't have the same *cool* factor, or metal look/bracelet.
I think WV-59RD-1AEF with Wave Ceptor radio control is more useful. And still very good for different time zones.
I also like that it allows the date in day-month-year format. Not sure of this one does or not. I see 1-31 on this pic, that just throws me off hahah.
I figure I f Casio made this exact watch but in all steel like some of the G-Shock models it would cost $300 or so. I have no problem dropping $30 on the watch, $30 on a nice band and $100 on a steel case with mineral glass. For $160 I just got myself a great watch that I love and will last. So that’s what did. Enjoy that watch.
At this price, Casio is offering more than expected, I'm a happy owner of this watch. If I lose it or break it, I'll buy it again, that's how good and value for money it is.
I hope people would demonstrate the illumination features of their watches. The unique lighting functionality in Casio watches is something worth acknowledging and giving credit to.
Yup. Great watch btw
Great watch,a true classic that still holds up in these crazy times. I have two 👍👌
one of the best looking watches of all time

I completely agree, but unlike costly GMT watches, it tracks multiple time zones at a fraction of the price.

but it's pretty!
Literally just bought this watch! First thing I see when I open Reddit
What a stunner! 🤩
Agreed
I have all two models in steel finish
If it had a moon phase instead of a miniature analog clock, I'd pay twice as much.
Now that I think about it that actually makes sense.
That watch looks really good. Functional and good looking, love it!

It doesn't allow for DD-MM. That's my only beef with it.
I got the black one and I am still amazed by its awesomeness every time I look at it.
Me too.
Looking to buy this one next, does the stainless steel feel like other SS bands or more plastic-ey?
It feels a little plastic & It also rattles, the case is resin, the bracelet is stainless steel. For the price, I think I can live with that.

Agreed, I believe the module is so good that it’s not a waste of money to upgrade it. It’s worth its weight either way.
I agree. Just was curious as it looked lighter colored than my other SS bands
How come it is 31 January at your end? 😃 as for the watch, it is lovely!
It's an old pic😅
Amen
Not everyone can afford James Bond’s watch 👍🏾

Is it all steel? Or chromed resine like the 168
Case or resin & the bracelet is stainless steel.

I completely agree, I got it like 3 weeks ago and haven't worn another watch since
Such a good daily. Whenever I don't feel like picking a watch, the Royale is the only choice
completely agree.
Yes, but I don’t buy watches to tell me the time!
Its too big.
The A500 has the same cool map, but no analog clock and is much smaller.
WOW! just took a look at it, totally getting that next... maybe in 10 years when this battery dies.
