Casio Men’s Multifunction Analog Watch #EF305-1AV Reviews
This watch is an excellent every day watch for someone who wants an affordable watch that they can wear to work or to the park. With its chronograph styling, dark resin band, and classic sizing (I think it’s ~38mm diameter and not too thick, though as I recently lost mine I can’t be sure), it definitely will give the impression that you are wearing a much more expensive watch. When I used to wear it, I got compliments on it all the time and cost estimates in the hundreds =D.
However, don’t be fooled by the “multifunction watch” title. The sub-dials show day/date/24-hour time, and that’s it–no dual time, no stopwatch, it’s not a digital watch replacement. The second markings aren’t clear or accurate enough for you to really time anything. This was mostly fine for me but I found myself occasionally missing those functions. What I personally found most annoying, however, was the choice of mineral crystal as the watch window material, a poor compromise between acrylic and sapphire glass. Harder than acrylic, but way softer than sapphire, it still scratches fairly easily for a “beater” watch but you don’t have the option of easily buffing it out.
I’ve had this watch for about a month and wear it daily to work. For the price point I feel it’s well made. All hands function as they should. Time and day of the week are easy to read, but the smaller date hand can be hard to read at a glance. The band is comfortable to wear during long hours at work and it does not retain water as many link bands tend to do if you have to wash your hands frequently. The stainless steel case is attractive; a nice size for a man’s watch–too soon to comment on durability but for around $30 you can’t go wrong.
Great looking watch at a very low price. The watch looks expensive when its not. Great quality as well very long lasting. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
