Casio Men's AW43-7E1V Classic Illuminator Ana-Digi Sport Watch Review

Casio Men's AW43-7E1V Classic Illuminator Ana-Digi Sport WatchI've used this watch for more than 20 years, and it fits my needs quite well.I am old enough (56) to prefer an analog face; this one has excellent visibility because of the high contrast between dial and hands, so I can sneak a quick glance without appearing rude. (And it's nice to have the day and date in the little digital window.)

I don't need an altimeter, food processor, and phases of the moon on my watch, nor does my wrist need to make a statement about who I am.It's decent looking enough that I wear it in all but the most formal settings.

When we're in a dark theater, my partner with the expensive watch is always making me light up the dial on my watch to see the time!

I also like water resistance and a fair amount of durability, since I'm forgetful and unkind to watches. If I were to destroy it, it's cheap to replace. When the clear plastic face gets light scratches, I buff it with toothpaste.After 10 years, my first one of these bit the dust (the strap gave out), but I was delighted to discover it still being sold on Amazon.

Casio Men's AMW320D-9EV Ana-Digi Alarm Chronograph Dive Watch Review

Casio Men's AMW320D-9EV Ana-Digi Alarm Chronograph Dive WatchAfter about seven years of great service, my wrist now bears a dead AMW320D (great name, eh, really trips off the tongue).I went in for my third battery replacement and the jeweler told me that corrosion had eaten away at the movement.The first time I replaced the battery I learned that the seal had to be broken and the watch might no longer resist water.The soft rubbery plastic strap died long ago, replaced by a superior twist-o-flex-style metal wrist band.
Now you might think I'm dissatisfied.But I intend to order another the minute (or so -- I don't have a working watch) I finish writing this review.Why?It has been a great watch.Analog plus digital gives me easy-to-read intuitive time checking, along with all the bells and whistles of silicon: multiple times, alarm, stop watch, and calendar.The outer ring on the face lets me rotate the "north" arrow to a future time, say 45 minutes from now, and I know time's up when the minute hand gets there.(I have no idea why the face ring has compass points and degrees marked on it -- to fool one's friends?)The watch has been rugged, holding up to the shock of using hoes and axes, although I didn't push my luck if I remembered to take it off.
I'm looking at my old friend, now motionless and blank, and figure he had a pretty good run.Time's up for this timepiece, at a cost of a little more than $10 per year. Since I bought the last one on display at Mervyn's, I didn't get a box or manual and didn't even know what it was called AMW320D until looking it up on the web just now.AMW320D I didn't even know your name all these great years together.
