CasioWave Ceptor Illuminator Multi Band Watch

Very nice change from usual black

Nice watch for the price point.

Excelent Watch i am is very satisfied

I enjoy all of my time keeping clocks having atomic time synchronization.Will be painting the shiny stainless steel face and logos. Thankfully, the bezel face(s) are easily removable and able to be painted. Since the green colored unit was intended as having camouflage colors, will dull the glossy stainless steel using 1000 grit sandpaper, priming and finishing with Rustoleum primer and Camouflage flat paints.PROS1) Atomic time synchronization.2) Displays 24 hour time format.3) Well working user interface. As usual somewhat complicated however most well used functions are likely memorized.4) Bezel face(s) are easily removable and easily painted.5) Hoping the glass protective cover is very durable, as some of the most durable wrist watch glass covers tend to readily scratch within a commonly aggressive work environment.CONS1) Not pleased with the wrist band style, and will likely immediately replace. Rubber/silicon wrist bands are easily washable, however not comfortable especially within warm climates. I prefer either leather or clothe wrist bands.2) A little on the large side for a wrist watch face/body, however very lightweight.3) Not much choice with common time piece wrist watch styles nowadays due to everybody thinking their latest and greatest lightweight computerized portable device will save them more time or provide them more energy than an ordinary wrist watch.

Casio has been a mainstay of mine since the beginning of the digital watch's 2nd generation when I acquired one that attempted to measure the temperature c.1987! For the following reasons:1. Myriad models from the minimalist basic day/time & year that were characteristic of the first-generation digital models from 1978-85 to my favorite; a Gold metal-colored crystal & band that stored 300 names and numbers( a veritable gigolo's "little black book" or a feature a spook could use in case he/she desired a Houdinian Escape!) via a calculator keyboard that could be used as a calculator in its own right, A World Time dossier that included my hometown, Philadelphia, PA as one of the cities! 😎! Indeed, Casio watches are amply appointed with a cornucopia of capabilities and colors which is part of the reason why I still invest my moolah in them rather than the hyper-hyped ballyhooed "smartwatch"!of all the models brought in the 45 years, I've sported wristwatches(including a Casio Royale reboot, which weaned me off a Fossil smartwatch that died in June 2021) This WaveCeptor WV 200R-3A happens to be my first Atomic Synchronous Watch! I got it mostly due to owning a LaCrosse S84107 Weather Station that also Syncs up with the ⚛️🕰️ in Ft. Collins, Colorado. I got that one so that I could avoid the half-annual time switch our society has been engaged in since 1966! Nonetheless, my aforementioned Casio World Timer ended up being embarrassed by the weather station being always -16 seconds behind it, hence the acquisition of the WaveCeptor!2. The way that the WV200R-3A is designed as well as fabricated with the four screws buttressing a 🌋ic-like caldera in which the mineral glass display rests as well as the 660ft. water resistance gives me some surcease that much like the legendary, fabled, chimeric Timex timepieces; this will continue to be ticking as it resists taking a licking without it becoming as homely as the G-Shocks!It also helps that its hybrid plastic & combo brushed/polished stainless steel make this ⌚quite attractive while maintaining its brawny style.3. I like the tripartite structure of this watch which arranges its largess and prowess under a hierarchical order which enhances its efficiency! (And to other critics who bemoan this watch for being "too busy" to the point that the most inventive are exciting parts of the screen & bezel of whatever offends their esthetic!) 🥱, I opine, the "busier" the better for it makes a more captivating watch to watch & compelling gadget in the long term!4. Even though there is no way in the 🌎 I would be globe-hopping I don't consider it a waste of 💰💸 to settle for the cheaper straitened WV 58A model because being able to receive the time from 5 of the six ⚛️🕰️ is much better than downloading the signal from merely America & UK(Atherson) Au contraire, mon fere, that capability enhances it's steal of a deal, value for the 💶💰💳💷💵💴!I guess where Casio had to spare the expense & battery reserve is in the length of both the stopwatch & timer, confining the timing to 1hr. vs., 24 hrs. on the 🌏 ⏲️ and 100 hrs? on what arguably could have been 007's(Pierce Brosnan) watch! The model I had in the '90s mentioned earlier! Oh well, there goes timing a Thanksgiving Turkey!All in all, it's decently eclectic with enough accouterments to make ownership of this Casio WV200R-3A timepiece quite exhilarating as well as worth the bread spread to score it!

Casio continues to amaze me with value for what you get. For the price, this watch defies G-Shocks by leaps and bounds. Not too long ago, you’d have to be well above $100 to get a watch that has atomic timekeeping, and you still do with many brands. This sub $40 watch therefore is a steal. Like others have said, read the instructions. It’s not hard to set up if you are remotely familiar with Casio watches. In the middle of the night, it will re-sync itself to the exact time and you won’t even notice. Aesthetics are great too. I love the desert sand color of the band with black trim on the case, which is not too big and it’s not small - perfect size. The digits are very legible. The date is a little small but who cares. The backlight is really great too and has a nice orange/amber glow that stays on for a couple seconds after you tap the button. This watch has moved itself to the top of my daily rotation….highly recommend.

Excellent watch. This is the third one of these I’ve purchased and I’ve been wearing them for decades now. I wear it in a chlorine pool, salt water, and just about any place. This is a big man’s watch. It would look huge on a small person. Love the nightly radio beacon update feature. It makes you have more precise time than any cell phone.

The watch head is thicker than the ones a couple years ago. The rubber watch band can not be switched out with something of a higher quality. This looks and feels like a cheap throw away watch that you find from a lower quality company. I would suggest anyone looking at this as a legitimate watch to look elsewhere. This is a far cry from former Casio products. Embarrassed and disappointed.
