Review on Casio A500WA-7D Vintage Unisex Watch - Digital Quartz LCD Dial - Grey Steel Strap by Micha Korkosz ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm satisfied, the product is exactly as described.

The watch is not for everyone, but for those who often travel across different time zones. I bought 2 watches knowing the peculiarity of this type of case to climb and the tendency for the disappearance of the necessary things from the sale and replacement of rubbish imposed by marketing. I liked the watch. I've been wearing them for 4 months without taking them off my hands. However, I can’t recommend it to everyone, because. this is a special watch and rarely anyone needs so many time zones.

Pros
  • Nice classic (80s) appearance, compactness, pleasant yellow LED backlight, functionality: 5 full-fledged alarm clocks, 4 pre-selection of time zones with their quick change. Those. there is 1 selected time zone for which the day of the week, month and day is shown, to switch to another 2 buttons and you're done. On pre-election zones, it shows the city and zone number. There is another selected time zone without a quick change and more than 40 cities to choose from. Stopwatch, timer, automatic calendar until the end of the century. The watch is light and very pleasant on the hand. Good contrast display.
Cons
  • - plastic case and plastic glass (glass is of high quality, but it is plastic); - water protection from splashes, but they seem to be kept under the shower; - CR2022 power supply (3 years autonomy), I would like 5-10 years; - there is no automatic transition to summer-winter time (only DST trigger set manually) and it is necessary to reserve 2 preselections for 1 time zone; - the alarm clock is quiet, you can oversleep; - no 2022 language for the days of the week; - accuracy is about 20-30 per month, I would like no more than 15.
