Review on πŸ‘Ά Casio BGD140-1ACR Baby-G Shock-Resistant Multi-Function Digital Watch for Women by Lisa Lopez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great watch but appreciate the legibility issues

The size and looks of this watch were great, but the legibility of the white negative on the black dial made it difficult to read in low light or at any angle except about a read at a 45 degree angle to the dial hours. From any other angle, the digital dial darkened. The readings are also embedded in the face, again limiting viewing within critical angles. I personally prefer black on white for legibility, especially in low light. I've worn a Casio watch in the police force for over 40 years and work many night shifts, and I recommend the black-on-white "Positive" dial for legibility. All G Shock watches are great, but be aware of legibility issues in the environment you'll be using the watch. I returned this model and bought a Casio with positive black and white reading so I can tell the time in the dark without having to constantly use the backlight.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
