Development of the Timepiece Business
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 (more…)

I’ve been wearing this watch since high school (over 15 years ago). I bought it for track so I could pace my practices. I can’t find any watch out there that has the countdown feature that repeats, so I can set it to ding at me every 3 minutes or 2 hours or whatever. I love the digital - it’s easy to read in a pinch. And I’m not really aware of time, so the hourly alarm really helps me keep track. I do agree that it is not the most attractive watch - especially for a female, but I just can’t get enough of this light-weight, easy to use watch. I’ve had probably 5 of this exact watch. I lost my last two and I’ve worn out the rest. I try to wear other watches.. analog, silver, gold… that are more fashionable, but I just can’t break away from this watch. I was heartbroken when Target stopped selling it, and elated when I found it on the web. I’m excited to know it’s a 20 year old design… that way I can be confident that it will be around for a while. If not, I’d buy 50 more so I could make sure I always had one! That’s how much I LOVE this watch… I just ordered it off this site after being without it for a year (did I mention Target?) and I cannot wait for it to arrive!! I should have bought 2…

Lasts forever
I bought one of these in Jan 1993, and the original battery lasted until May 2009!!!! I replaced the battery and it’s like new again.

Awesome watch. Very tough!
This is the 2nd of this model watch that I’ve owned. The first one I got in high school which, I’m just now replacing. High school was 29 years ago.

I’ve used this model for past 10+ years. I don’t remember when I first used this one, but the last one I had finally died after about 10 years, earlier this spring. So, I bought another one, exactly same model. I don’t remember whether I had this model or another cheaper model before the previous one.
But the previous one went with me from the cold winters of Chicago to the sizzling summers of Iraq where temperature was well over 140+ degrees (I know this b/c others with Suunto watch with thermometer told me). Used it when I was swimming, kayaking, running, biking, etc. etc. I remember changing the battery at least once and changed the strap 2 or 3 times.
So, when the last one died in April of 2005, I went out and bought another one. This one should last another 10 years. What more can you ask for for $20?

The watch has all functions I need. Alarm countdown, stop watch. It is simple and light weight. I can wear it to do all kind of sports.

Excellent for the price
I forked out about 80 something bucks for that fancy shmancy G-Shock watch but it crapped out on me in about 3 months. Needless to say I was kinda pissed.

Great watch
this is a great watch; it’s the 4th I’ve owned over the years. I especially like it because it has a count-down timer which I use to remind myself to return to various chores…

classic digital watch
The delivery of the watch was more than prompt. Everything was received in perfect order. I am sorry that casio seems to be phasing this watch out of its lineup.

great watch with lots of features
I love this watch, I have had a couple over the years, and just bought my third for $18.45 shipped.
It is not very stylish, so if you are the Seiko type, this may not…

Excellent watch
I used to buy G-shock Casio(because of a rough job), but they were too big for me. I like this Casio digital W71-1V better. I like that it has the Day of the week, etc.

Great cheap watch even for a larger guy.
I have g shocks and they just are not comfortable. I used to have a similar watch- the f91, but stopped wearing it because I thought that it looked too small on my wrist (I am…
