Review on Casio STR300-1C Sports Watch in Black and Pink – Enhanced for SEO by Elwanda Johnson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great looking unisex watch, but will it hold up?

I don't know why I've been looking for the perfect sports watch for so long, it's not that expensive. Since I was on my wrist all day, every day, I wanted it to look good. I'm very athletic and wear gym clothes all the time so this watch was perfect for my style. This is a unisex watch; There is no difference between women and men except in color. That means it's a little big for a woman and a little small for a man. Large women's watches are trending these days (I think?), so that's fine. I like the look of this watch; Black is elegant and purple (not pink) looks great too. I like that the buttons don't protrude from all sides. The watch is actually not that difficult to use once you read the manual and all the features are great. I like that the timer can be set to any time (up to a minute) and not just a specific time. Everything shows that I'm not sure I'll keep the watch and here's why: the plastic clasp. I'd be happy to pay a few more euros for a metal clasp. Even the pen is made of plastic. I pick my young children up hundreds of times a day and the pin often slips out of the hole and onto the other side of the watch. Sometimes it slips into another hole, and sometimes the watch just falls. This leads me to suspect that the whole clasp will probably break soon. Another issue is the elastic that holds the end of the strap: Because the strap is so long on my small wrists, the end of the strap sticks out and often catches on things. The part that is supposed to hold the end of the strap is very loose and doesn't do its job well; the tape often slips out. I also bought a Timex Ironman which isn't as pretty or functional but is much more durable. I love that the Ironman has a strap holder that keeps the end of the strap securely in place. All in all, this is a great watch, but probably not for those who are crude with watches.

Pros
  • Resin Buckle Strap
Cons
  • Expensive Insurance
