    Today a review you voted for! This is yet another obscure but Uber cool looking Casio that looks like a prop from a 90's or 80's science fiction movies!
    It is what I imagined a watch in the future will look like when I was growing up.
    It is atomic but Multiband 5, meaning it can connect to all the towers in the world except China.
    Sadly it's not solar so you will have to change the batteries every couple of years.
    The screen is epic as usual with entry level Casios.
    I will also be doing a detailed tutorial, so stay tuned for that!!

      Hello, have you ever though about just having an accurate watch without the need of a wave receptor?. Since almost all sorts of waves are mildly harmful to humans. Is proven that even cell phones increase the heat in our bodies. I love the design of the watch anything like this without the wave? My regular casio is pretty accurate on its own. Heck nowadays even autos are fairly accurate...

      Having or not having a wave Ceptor will not change the influence of waves on you, they are ALWAYS there, this just has the option to "listen" to them 😁

    I had the rubber strap version of it. Ordered from Japan. The best thing about the watch: 1) The look. It is really noticeable outdoor. 2) Really light, you don't even feel the watch is there so be careful. 3) Super readable even in heavy sunlight. And the number is huge. You can turn on the blue light if in the dark. 4) You can set and see the full date calendar on the watch. Like 14 03 1967. Probably the only that have this feature.
    While the other negative would be: 1) The strap. I hope I can find proper third party replacement for it because, rubber strap tend to break down easily compare to the metal one. 2) The watch face. Need to find alternative watch face protector since accident could happened.
    Overall, it is really a good watch especially for 80's kids like me.

    I've been a happy owner of one of these for about a year now. I have the "sportier" version with the black plastic parts and band, for me it looks better because it's not even trying to look more than what it is, while the metal version tries and fails because of the cheap looking grey plastic. All in all a very good Casio, nowadays it's my daily driver. I think it looks way better than its round (WV-58) cousins. Recommended!
    Nice review as always!

    First Casio like this one that I got was some time in the mid 70s. In 1982 I was reaching under a DEC PDP8 in a 19" rack that my secretary was tilting over so I could reach under it and she let the rack fall on my wrist, breaking the crystal. Got another the same that lasted about 20 years and picked up another in the late 90s after the chrome 'skin' started peeling off the case. My issue is that they are getting hard to find, most'fashion' watches are basically wall clocks strapped to your wrist and it seems the bigger, thicker and more gaudy they are, the better, the Casio is relatively thin and functional and still looks good.

    A note that the M-D that appears on G-Shocks isn't a purely U.S. format, although M-D-Y is: Y-M-D is commonly used in Asia, and when you exclude the year from the dial you get a format that works nicely for both the U.S. and Asia.
    Still, considering most of the world uses D-M-Y, I can understand wanting the ability to change date formats.
