| 45 of 49 people found the following review helpful  Great watch except for thermometer!, By This review is from: Casio Men's SGW100B-3V Digital Compass Twin Sensor Green Nylon Band Sport Watch (Watch) I bought this watch recently and as any Casio watch its great looking and worth fully for the price tag. Compass, World timer, Stop watch, Alarm and timer features are great and easy to operate. My only complain is the thermometer which I find practically useless. The instruction manual says watch sensor needs 30 min to adjust to the atmospheric temperature. For instance if you take your watch from warm place to a cold environment it will give erroneous readings for 30 mins!! And if you are wearing your watch, you can't depend on the reading at all since body temperarture will ridiculously increase the reading even in a cold winter day! If you take off your watch and try to measure.. you have to wait 30 mins to get accurate readings. So this sensor is not useful at all for measuring temperature when you are outdoors. Other than this, I like the watch. 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful  1st Compass Watch and I Like It, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Casio Men's SGW100B-3V Digital Compass Twin Sensor Green Nylon Band Sport Watch (Watch) This is my first compass watch. I was concerned that the compass would be difficult to use and calibrate. After receiving the watch I was easily able to use and calibrate the compass. A neat undocumeted feature of the watch is that the current time is displayed in all modes - world time (which also shows the name of the world time city selected), compass, stopwatch, countdown timer, and alarm. The digits are large and easy to read. The backlight illuminates the digits, not the whole watch face. The cloth band is very comfortable and looks sturdy and well made. All in all a very good value for the money. 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful Nice watch., By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Casio Men's SGW100B-3V Digital Compass Twin Sensor Green Nylon Band Sport Watch (Watch) Like many, I have had Casio watches for years.This watch is not my first, but it is one of my most recent and favorite purchases of a Casio watch. First off. No rubber watch band that will break after a few years of use in salt water. This is a rubberized nylon band. Green - not my favorite - but still sturdy. Second, the watch face is pretty large. And better yet, the digital clock has nice large numbers. Third, the features are nice. This watch has a digital compass which is fairly easy to set up, but will probably require the use of the internet beyond the instructions. Multiple alarms, stopwatch, timer and world time constitute the features on this watch beyond the compass. It is sturdily built, with the band, mineral face, a plastic ring around the watch face to prevent scratches, and a very solid feel. However, the watch is quite light as well. It is also supposed to be quite water resistant. This watch... Read more |

| 233 of 238 people found the following review helpful My personal perfect watch, By This review is from: Casio Men's DW5600E-1V G-Shock Classic Digital Watch (Watch) This 5600 has everything I need, and nothing I don't:- It tells you the time, date, and day of the week at a glance. - It has 1 alarm (not 5 like many other G-Shocks -- too fidly). - A countdown timer (with the current time shown in the upper box). - A stopwatch (again, time is still shown). That's it. If you want fancy "features" like inaccurate temperature readings, barometric pressure graph which gets distorted by temperature and altitude, 19 alarms, and world time in 7,000 cities around the world -- look elsewhere! This watch does exactly what a wristwatch should, which in my opinion is tell the time, and take an absolute beating. I don't particularly want to stand in public pressing 15 buttons on my watch, just to set a quick alarm to remind me of something. This 5600 keeps everything relatively simple (obviously go through the manual when you first get it). (I started collecting G-Shocks; they have all since been given away/sold...

The plastic outer case finally started to deteriorate... and oh yeah I tore or lost the strap retaining loop about 10 years ago (no big deal just put on a tie wrap and kept on wearing the watch).To put this in context, I use my sport watches for sailing, boating, diving and snorkeling (usually in salt water) ...and most other watches have lasted only 2-3 years. The amazing thing is that I never replaced the battery on this original Casio G-Shock -- it just kept working until the casing finally went. Only slight disadvantage for sailing races it that it doesn't have a synch feature for interim starting signals. But other than that all the functionality that you really use is there *and* you don't have to read the instruction manual to figure out the watch... user interface and buttons are straightforward and obvious.
