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 (more…)

Popular Watch with neat features
Bought this watch for my 72 year old (but still a high tech kinda guy) father. He loves it. He lives on a farm in North Georgia and yet the Waveceptor feature has worked…

Several years ago, I purchased a black, plastic-band Casio watch that automatically synchronizes the date/time. It ran on solar power, so there was never a battery to replace.
Recently, I decided I was a grownup and needed something that was more professional looking. I was looking for a watch that had analog hands, but still had the atomic synchronization and solar recharging. I was surprised very few watches fit the bill. To my knowledge, only Casio makes watches that have atomic clock synchronization. I laugh at people with expensive “precision time instruments.” My watch will be accurate to within 3 or 4 seconds for the life of the watch because it synchronizes every day. I don’t care how precise your watch is, it will never measure up to mine.
The WVA470DJ-1ACF is a nice looking watch that provides all the functionality I was looking for.
Just remember, this watch has a metal band. You will need to get the watch sized to your wrist. After spending an hour trying to remove the pins and size it myself, I decided to take it to the watch kiosk at the mall. It was well worth the $10 fee, since the job required special tools and a lot of patience.

this watch performs as adveretized, is great looking, the dial is very easy to read including the digital window,is user friendly, is comfortable to wear (fits well and is light weight), and has a positive closure for the bracelet. Be aware of two things. 1. The bezel that looks like it should ratate, since it has 15, 30, 45, and 60 on the face, does NOT rotate. It can’t, as the bezel is a intragal part of the case. 2. This watch is not all stainless steeel. The body of the watch is resin with stainless steel over top of the resin. It does make the watch lighter than all stainless and the resin not very noticable. Most people, other than the wearer probably won’t notice.

Nice watch. Save yourself the trouble of trying to read the included instructions and download the manual for module 3311/5052 from Casio’s website. The module number is also on the back side of the body. No problems synchronizing time settings by setting the watch in the window as directed by the instructions at a distance of ~1,200 miles from Fort Collins, CO. Battery charge has remained on “HIGH” for two months after an initial charging in the window sill on the afternoon of purchase. Unless you have the specific tools, take it to someone who does to re-size the band. Afterglow feature lights up the digital portion of the face only, not the entire watch face. Non-metallic enough to go through airport TSA while still on wrist and not set off the alarm. Purchased from Amazon with free shipping. Would buy again if needed.
