Review on ⌚ A Sleek Black Casio Men's Quartz Resin Casual Watch- MQ24-7B Review and Features by David Royles

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice watch but 32mm case, only 35mm crown.

Nice watch, slightly smaller than advertised. I was looking for a basic watch (time only, no date) and this seemed to fit the bill. While I knew the input was small, the published measurements are somewhat inaccurate. The watch is 35mm in diameter including the crown, but the case diameter itself is closer to 32mm. The watch measures approximately 37mm from top to bottom. It might be a bit smaller than I would have liked, even for a thin-wristed man. Unlike the Timex Weekender, Easy Reader, and Expedition Scout, which were pretty loud, the Casio watch ticks very quietly. I can only hear when the watch is next to my ear. The band is very flexible and the watch feels very light. The second hand basically hits all the stops, which is very nice to see considering this watch costs $9. I think if the case itself was 35mm the watch would be about the right size, but the 32mm case is actually pretty small all things considered. It's a real shame because the watch itself is really nice. You have Helvetica, which is much cheaper than Mondaine, and real elegance. Casio should release this watch in a slightly larger size - 35mm or 38mm (excluding the crown) - I think it will find many buyers.

Pros
  • Nice piece
