MDV106 Series | Unisex Analog Watch | 200M WR | Stainless Steel Case | Resin Band | 2 Hand Analog (HR, Min, SEC) | Date Display | Screw Down Crown/Screw Down Caseback | 3 Year Battery

Only one complaint: It's so small it should be labeled as "child's" or "women's"

My 12yo son isn’t a little boy anymore. Men’s watches are too big for him and most of the “boys” watches are basically toys. We got him this model in black and it was a perfect fit and classic look. These are well made and look nice. The rugged construction has held up with his active lifestyle. He lost in on vacation and we were happy to buy another to replace it. I like that it glows in the dark, so he can see what time it is if he wakes up in the middle of the night and decide if he needs to go back to sleep or if he wants to get a head start on the day. Highly recommended.

That's all you need to know. It's a simple, small, inexpensive, analog watch in a watertight case. The smaller and lighter the better for all-day every-day wear, their downside being that small faces can be difficult to decipher. And indeed the date window on this watch is minuscule, its recessed numerals all but invisible in anything less than direct light; the phosphorescence is similarly nearly useless. However, the black/white version sports big bold hands & numbers that can be read at a glance and that's what's important. So is 100 m. waterproofing, which simply means it doesn't have to come off for the 100 times/day my hands are in water. I'll add that resin straps, while functional and wicked cheap, are usually stiff and annoying—this shiny little one is less so. I'm actually going to keep it on the watch, which I keep on my wrist all day, every day. The only embellishment is a rotating bezel, which is mostly decorative but can help frazzled brains remember deadlines by simply pointing at either the start or end of some elapsed time. 24 minutes on your parking meter? Point the arrow 24 minutes ahead and know at a glance how long you have left. Want to know how long you've been on hold with Customer Service? Point to the minute the music starts and quantify your complaint precisely when you give up and send email. Reminder popped up on your computer that you're meeting someone today, which you'd completely spaced out and you have 8 other things to do before then? Point at the meeting time to give yourself a running countdown while you juggle overlapping tasks. Rotating bezels were invented to prevent underestimating decompression stops when ascending from deep dives, but nothing prevents you from using one to time your bike rides or record just when your neighbor's cock starts crowing in the morning. Update: the resin watchband failed within a year but I had a good fabric band that fit so this little watch keeps on serving without a hitch. I have other watches but this one has replaced them all!

While it looks more expensive than it really is, the straps themselves feel a bit cheap/flimsy when the watch isn't clasped around my wrist, but that doesn't really matter. For my purposes, this watch is more than durable enough. The pink version of this seems so cute, but I chose the black version in the end since I read reviews that the pink one would yellow over time. I'm glad this is waterproof to where it can sustain getting splashed at when I wash my hands. I can probably shower and swim with this on if I needed to, after reading the reviews. It's not one of those stylish/accessory like watches that I'd enjoy, but I purchased this for longevity and durability, and for 17$, this is an excellent price. I appreciate that it tells me the day of the month as well. For sizing purposes, my wrist's circumference is about 6 inches (= a little over 15 cm), and this watch is plenty big enough to wrap around my wrist (when I "clasp" this, I thread the needle-thing through the fifth notch out of a total of 10 notches on the wristband).

Works and looks great as a men's style watch that isn't too big. Excellent value. One thing to be aware of is the timesetting knob takes a little effort to work right for adjusting the date, and it has to be done every month with fewer than 31 days to stay accurate.

I really like the classic look of this Casio and its easy to read dial. It is also a perfect size for my petite wrist. Only thing I don’t like is the shiny band. I own three other Casio watches in this style and all have bands with a matte finish which is better at hiding scratches and such. The shiny band knocks this down to a 4 star for me. 3 star rating because after only 6 weeks the battery died. I should not have to replace battery on what is essentially a brand new watch!

Great watch for under $25 on sale. Very lightweight, just came back from a walk with my dog and totally forgot that I had the watch on until I took off my jacket when I came back home. The watch face is a little more crowded than what I am used to with my other watches but I'm sure that it's just something that I will adjust to eventually. Haven't taken it out into the elements yet so I can't attest to it's durability but seems like a beater watch when out hiking, doing yard work, etc. which is precisely why I bought it. Perfect size if you have a smaller wrist like me.

Got this watch for my son as a Christmas present. By Dec 27th it has stopped working. Not even gotten wet or anything yet. Seemed nice but dying 2 days after opening is pathetic
