CasioMQ24 Series | Quartz Analog Watch for Men | Water Resistant | Resin Case | Resin Band | Resin Glass | Three Hand Analog (HR, Min, SEC) | Classic Design | 3 Year Battery

I don't normally write online reviews, but I will do it for this product.While going digitally minimal, I needed a watch to keep track of time without looking at my phone. This is perfect for just that. The size of the face was a bit smaller than I was expecting, but the wrist strap fits comfortably with plenty of room to expand. I've done multiple checks with time.gov to make sure the watch is keeping accurate time, and it has been 100% accurate each time I've checked. I would recommend this to anyone looking for the simplicity of a basic watch on a budget. Also I should note that the strap is a bit flimsy, so don't expect to be super rough with it. It's perfect for everyday use and is very easy to read. It's just a little clock for your wrist and serves its purpose well!

For anyone looking for a reliable, stylish, and budget-friendly watch, the Casio MQ24 is a solid choice. Its minimalist design pairs well with almost any outfit, and its functionality is spot-on. Highly recommend it for those who appreciate simplicity and quality.Almost a year of use.

THIS is how all watch faces should be! EASY to read!The MQ24-7B2, aka MQ24-7BLL, has simply perfect proportions of the numericals for ageing eyes, and is a joy to look at. This dirt-simple little watch is a dream work "beater", is light, smooth, light on the wrist, comfy, and stays out of the way! Too many "tough" watches are clunky and have spikes and protrusions that get in the way and get snagged everywhere, but not this one!The white-dial/black-hands contrast is exceptional, and makes it readable even in dim conditions. This 16 dollar watch is remarkably tough for not being a G-Shock, and I even wore it for a year in a hardware store job, where it got banged up with heavy garden wall-stones and heavy metal pieces. It also get drenched in hard garden-hose spray, packed in mud, washing hands, wearing it in the shower, and despite Casio claiming no depth rating, it never got a leak, so working around water I found not to be a problem!It is most importantly a seriously good time-keeper and gains only about 10 to 12 seconds per month!The "crystal" is tough plastic, and does scratch over time. This can be polished out with a thing called "Polywatch", and is well worth doing so. It may be a cheap watch, but is so good, I would find it a shame to toss it for any reason, and a new battery was well worth the few cents, when it ran out after about 4 years or so!The crystal catches no reflections from all over, because it is flat, and I actually found that all the fine scratches I collected made i even less reflective than it already was, helping to make this watch even better in all light conditions :)Like mentioned, I did polish the watch, and it looks a bit worn, and now has real character, with the crystal smooth and just fine with a fine pattern of microscopic fine lines in it, that actually reduce reflectivity!SIZEWISE:Don't even try to complain about this being some girl's or "unisex" watch, code speak by wannabe machos for nasty slurs.This classic Casio uses the old men's size of 35mm, the size used until the 80's, for watches worn as dress watches and in WW2 by tough guys, commandos, paratroopers, storm troopers, seals, etc. MOST were made in Switzerland and sold to all sides, Nazies and Allies!James Bond's first Rolex Submariner was a nowadays diminutive for a dive-watch 38mm size, thanks to the extra outside timer bezel requiring it to be bigger than 35mm, believe it or not!CONCLUSION:Youtube "influencers" have described this as "God Tier", because this watch does just everything so right.I don't do god-stuff, but I agree, that this is one of the greatest of all times, when it comes to simple and highly functional watches!ALSO: Casio's plastic straps are known to break after a few years (they DO break after 1 to 3 years!), and this one is worth a cheap 16mm NATO cloth strap you can buy in some places for 3 bucks, or an original replacement Casio strap, once that happens!

My oldest granddaughter has become fascinated with my watch collection and is always after me to let her wear my watches. She just accomplished writing her name by herself for the first time (at 3yo), so as a reward I got her this watch. At 33mm 36mm lug to lug, this is slightly larger than some "kids" watches out there, but I'm out to get her able to recognize her numbers consistently and actually tell time, not read a digital display. This is a wonderful piece for that -- super legible, some water resistance, and inexpensive so if she manages to crack the crystal or just loses it, it's not a heartbreaking situation.One thing folks should be aware of, and the product Q&A didn't seem to really hit on, is that the band is absolutely replaceable, but the specs are WRONG. This is NOT a 20mm band. I bought a nice hot pink (of course her favorite color) child's size 20mm band and it's too big. Fortunately for me, I'd at the same time purchased a kids sized Zulu-style strap (also in hot pink -- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M04HXPQ) that stated 16mm compatibility.It wasn't easy, due to the way the spring bars are set further back into the lugs than a lot of my watches, but I did get the Zulu installed. You can't do what you'd normally do -- put in the spring bars and thread the strap through, though. The bars being set further back means a 1.3mm thick strap won't just thread through. What you have to do (and I've done this on some Chinese origin pieces I own) is push the strap fully up into the little gap that exists "behind" the spring bar holes and push the spring bar fully in against the strap. This isn't easy, and the result has the spring bars under more horizontal tension than I'd like (which means the strap may pop out under normal wear) but again, if it happens and she loses the watch, it's not so expensive I'll be upset in any way.So many watches could learn from the simplicity of this piece. It is amazingly readable even for a 33mm watch. The alignment of the second hand is spot on (which I can't say for some other brands I've spent 20x over the price of this), it's of quartz so of course it is accurate. The crown is a little tough to work with, but it's a tiny watch, so of course it is. It's not screw-down, but it's a $15 watch so of course it isn't.All in all, I'm super happy with this pick up. Granddaughter was ecstatic and loves it.
