Comment on Casio Men’s MDV102-1AV Sea Analog Illuminator Dual LED Dive Watch Low Prices by Mediapig

Great "James Bond" watch, April 1, 2009

Mediapig (CA, USA) -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Casio Men's MDV102-1AV Sea Analog Illuminator Dual LED Dive Watch (Watch)

As someone else commented, this watch is reminiscent of the Omega "Planet Ocean" watch, as worn by Daniel Craig in the latest James Bond film. I wouldn't call it a knockoff, it just has a similar style to it. For under $50, it's a solid, attractive, and classically masculine watch, and definitely fills the role I purchased it for.

It even features a Bond style gadget! The illuminator button on the top right activates (2) very bright LED lights behind the 12 and 6 positions... the LED's stay lit for a couple seconds and are very bright white.... you could easily use this watch as a flashlight in a dark room. The watch also features a screw down crown, which I think is a nice high-end feature for such an inexpensive timepiece.

Unlike almost every other review here, I had no problems at all with the strap... Mine is very soft and comfortable. Not sure if Casio changed it, or if I just have different tastes, but really, I find the watch a pleasure to wear as is.

Sure, this watch is no Omega or Rolex, but for the money, I think it's a solid, attractive, and functional piece, that packs a hell of a lot of style into an affordable package.

4/17/09

Just wanted to add, I've had the watch for some time now, and I still have no problems with the strap... again, not sure if Casio changed it out, or if I'm just in the minority, but I think it's quite comfortable.

Also, another positive feature is the luminosity of the watch... after a normal day's wear, I have no trouble seeing the watch in the dark, and don't even need to use the LED function to tell the time. They used two colors of luminous paint as well... a light blue for the markers, and traditional green for the hands, which is kind of neat. All in all, I still can't believe this is a sub $50 watch. Great deal!

Very nice 200m water resist watch!, September 8, 2007

Krukster -

This is a great looking sports watch, and the light is really bright - it's a white LED both at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock, so it allows for nice visibility in low light. The stainless steel case is nicely polished and looks very sharp. This watch really looks more expensive than it is, and I've had people ask about it when wearing it. It's an eye catching watch.

The MDV102-1AV is 200m water resistant, which means it can handle you going swimming, snorkeling, even some diving without much problem. This watch has a screw-down crown too, which makes it even more water resistant. The only thing to watch out for is washing the dishes, hot tubbing, or showering with it - warm/hot water isn't great for watertight seals on watches. I've heard it can weaken the seals and cause a leak.

The little marlin on the watch is a great touch, and the face is very easy to read. The white markers contrast really well with the black dial, and even have a mirror-like edge to them, which makes the markers stand out even more. The offset date at 4 o'clock makes it look interesting, too.

My only disappointment was the band - it's a hard rubbery band and not very comfortable. That's why I took off one star from my rating. Aside from the band this watch really rocks! To solve that, I bought a Timex Expedition Adjustable 16-20mm watch strap TX977761L, Timex watchband, Fast - Wrap Expedition, 16-20mm, Black, Adjustable, Long. It's for a Timex Expedition, so it says Timex on it, but it's a great velcro strap that's really easy to adjust and install on the Casio.

If you decide you want to change straps like me, just pop out the strap that comes with the Casio, pull out and save the little springs, then attach the Casio (using it's springs) to the Timex strap. Took 3 minutes and I love the adjustable Timex strap, it's very comfortable and dries out easily when it's gotten wet.

I definitely recommend this watch. It's well worth the money for the water resistance, and looks really nice!

Technolust Satiated!, June 18, 2008

Wyatt Foard (Geneva, IL USA) -

As a science & tech minded guy, when I saw this watch I felt the stirrings of technolust that I haven't seen for some time! I had certain requirements for a new watch. I wanted something functional outdoors for biking and at the gym during workouts. I wanted something that displayed multiple time zones easily since I regularly work with people in Europe and Asia and I can never remember how many hours away they are. Easy or automatic adjustment to time zones when I fly somewhere was important. And of course I wanted something that looks great!

I have been extremely pleased with my Citizen EcoDrive. The solar power, radio-controlled updates, multiple time zone display (analog, digital, plus UTC), chronometer, and countdown timer make this watch perfect for me. I really like the soft rubber band as it makes the watch feel totally at home in the gym or on my bike. While I must admit I haven't used it all that often, the slide rule bezel is a lot of fun has been useful for a quick calculation every now and then. ($/gal divided by miles/gal most recently!)

Terrific Citizen Skyhawk watch, December 13, 2007

P. Auerbach (Silver Spring, MD) -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

I bought the new Citizen Skyhawk A-T while having my old Navihawk repaired for the second time (the function button keeps breaking on the Navihawk; despite that, I love the Navihawk and it's been my favorite watch for 10 years since I bought it). The Skyhawk A-T is even better than my beloved Navihawk in many ways (has back light function; has a second hand; ecodrive; the function button that kept breaking on the Navihawk has been changed to a pull-out crown; atomic-time set every night, which works flawlessly in the DC area). The ONLY thing NOT better about this new model is that it's significantly larger and bulkier. Other than that, it's fantastic and I have only positive things to say about it.

Citizen Skyhawk JY0000-02E - Has it all, but its a bit too big, November 12, 2007

Dr Biken -

This watch has a great set of features that are especially good for travellers and those who work "in the field". All in all, I think this is one of Citizen's best high end multi featured watches. The functionality makes sense, it is easy to use, and except for its large size, the watch has a functional, sturdy look that is not overly gimicky, or pointlessly flashy.

It's very large size (45mm Diam excl. crown x 15mm thick) is, in my opinion, its major drawback, making the watch a bit on the heavy and clunky side. The size does, however, make it easy to read. Below is my list of its Pro's / Con's

Pro's:
- Case Accepts standard 22m wide straps, so you can change out the rubber strap for your own favorite if you want.
- 200m water resistant so it can be used for sport idving and water sports
- Full timing features (Day, Month, Year, Chronograph, countdown timer, wolrd time extra dial for UTC / other timezone)
- Alarms: 2 world time alarms and a countdown alarm
- Solar powered: No battery changes needed, this is only a pro if the rechargeable battery / solar system lasts a long time
- Visibility: Large easy to read dial. Luminous hands and markers, LCD backlight for night visibility.
- "Safe" buttons: The crown and 2 pushers operate such that it is nearly impossible to accidentally change modes or alter a setting. The crown must be pulled out to change modes / change settings. Also the buttons seem sturdy.
- Accurate: Radio corrected time from Atomic clock assures accuracy to probably within 1 second
- Slide rule bezel useful for multiplication, division, time and rate problems, conversion

Cons:
- 45mm diam x 15mm thick case is big and sits too high off my wrist making it heavy and easy to bump into things. I also think it makes the watch a little geeky (OK for me since I am a geek already). however, I don't think all of the watches features could be packed into a much smaller case.
- Main time dial doesn't have any numbers next ot the markers. Makes it a little tougher to tell time at a glance and harder to tell timein the dark (is my watch upsdie down?).
- Calendar mode only shows the date for the "away" city not the home city. You must set your away city to bethe same as the home city to get the local date. This is easy to do, but still cuts functionality. If citizen would move their label and make full digital window for the home city it would solve this issue.
- Countdown timer max's out at 99 min. Why not make it 24 hr like the chronograph. I could definitely use a longer limit on the timer (cooking, "met bakc in 2 hours", etc.)
- Backlight not useable in timer or chronograph modes. (not sure how to fix this, but it would be nice to have it)
- Digital window is a bit small, but still legible
- Case back is snap on, making it difficult to open yourself (althought there isn't much need to given no battery changes).

A "MUST HAVE" FOR CERTAIN PERSONS, July 1, 2011

FloridaFellow -

This review is from: Casio G-Shock Mens Watch GX56-4D (Watch)

PERSONS WHO WILL LOVE THIS WATCH NO MATTER WHAT OTHERS THINK: (1) Casio collectors, even casual collectors such as myself (2) Persons who want to wear large watches (3) Persons who want to make an orange fashion statement. (4) Persons who want the black face, disregarding readability (5) Persons who want the comprehensive features of all Casios

PERSONS WHO WILL CRITICIZE THIS WATCH: (1) Those who find the black dial, reverse display, difficult to read (2) Having disregarded the specs, those who find the watch too large (3) Persons who find the Mudman-type buttons difficult to push (4) Those who complain about almost everything

PUZZLING PRICING: Chalk this up to Casio's penchant for multiple model identifiers. My watch is marked "GX-56" and "Japan" rather than from Thailand or other origins. It is, however, not marked with the "JF" suffix which denotes Japanese manufacture. Casio's Web site lists the GX56-1 (black) and the GX56-4 (orange) at a $150 retail price point. I purchased this watch on 06/27/2011, from a domestic supplier, shipping included, for $103. Today (07/01/11) at 8am it was listed on Amazon for $195 from the same supplier. Six hours later it was listed on Amazon for $175 from a different supplier. My best guess -- and others may have greater insight on pricing per specific model and country of origin -- is that suppliers are attempting to get every penny they can because of the orange color, much as they do from red models and yellow models. This orange watch is readily available from dependable Asian suppliers for $130 including shipping. The watch is a wonderful value for those who purchase at less than the suggested retail price. The watch is a bonanza for suppliers who can sell the watch at greater than the retail price to those who can't live without orange.

MY WATCH . . . is wonderful. Although large, at 88g (3.1oz.) it's very light and comfortable. I'll live with the extra effort to push the buttons because I appreciate the way they ensure the integrity of the case. The dial is decidedly more difficult to read than Casios with light-colored dials. If this is to be your only watch, you may want to purchase something easier to read. However, I'm 66 years old and if I can read it, you probably can too.

PLEASE: If you have specific model/price information, please leave me a comment or better yet write a review with your explanation of pricing fluctuations. Regards to Casio connoisseurs, --Ron
