Casio Men’s HDC-700-1AVCF Analog-Digital Quartz Watch

Después de más de un año lo único que puedo decir es que definitivamente es lo mejor.

I purchased this watch purely for aesthetic, I think it looks great! Since I work mostly at a desk I don’t really need to spend double or treble on a G-Shock and it looks very similar. It weighs about half of my gshock. Definitely feels less sturdy.
Setup, following the instructions, is pretty straightforward. You do need to set up the analog, digital and world time all separately… but really it’s a one time deal.
The analog hands are pretty easy to read.
Now the negatives which I knew, are that the negative display is very hard to read at the best of times. I’m sure younger folks without the need for reading glasses will find it better than older individuals.
The other issue the backlight is terrible.
Also be aware that the face can scratch easily.
The reason I gave this four stars even with the issues above is that I think it looks awesome for the price! Just know about the hard to read negative display, the poor back-lighting issues and probably don’t wear it on a construction job site!

I can’t get it to work. The digital screen is so small that you can’t see it, the light doesn’t light up the digital screen so you can’t see. The instructions are so small you can’t read them so I had to use a magnifying glass which helped, but I still couldn’t get it to work after an hour. The watch ad didn’t have the size of the screen, so you are buying it blind, and the watch is for a child. Don’t waste your money. go to a store to buy a watch that you can see.

Good quality for the price, very nice to use

I need a watch has analog display (easy for me to read) and digital function (need the alarm and the countdown) also shows the day-date (the day has to be 3 digits e.g. Sunday is “sun” instead of “su”). I know I am very demanding, but it is just me, LOL.

Have bought this watch for a couple of days. Yes, it fits all my needs.

Pro:

1) Light weight, fair value materials, price is low and quality is fair. The glass is just a piece of plastic which is how I felt, but I put a packing clear tape on it and cut the edge off as my home made scratch protection.

2) There are 4 push buttons, except the center one for light, the other 3 seemed like are metal with rough surface which generate enough friction to hold and push it down.

3) It has Telememo, World Time, Snooze, two daily alarms, Count Down, hourly signal, and Stop watch functions.

4) 10 years battery which is better than solar battery (if solar battery never die), or it will be more expensive to replace a solar.

5) Casio always uses 4 screws to secure the back plate, much easier to replace the battery than other brands.

6) It has a smaller case (44 mm) with a larger LED display.

Neutral:

1) Telememo, I don’t know who needs this, because smart phones can do much more. Also, I try not to buy a watch with Waveceptor, smart phone can always pick up the correct time right after the airplane touch down. However, Waveceptor can auto reset the watch, but the problem is if it can receive the signal? and for how long? I still prefer the old school way to manually adjust.

Con:

1) There is no pull out button to set up the analog, and this watch can only go forward. For example, if analog is 2 min faster, then I have to forward the hand for 11 hours and 58 min to correct it, that is a lot of pain, even you can hold both C & D to have the hand auto advance. Or, it only need to go backward for 2 min.

2) It can show two time zones time, but the digital day-date only matches with the digital time. One can not set the day-date to match with the analog.

Overall, I love this watch, and there is a metal version “AMW830D-2AV”.

Arrived perfect.
On time. 👍

The watch is nice.
Looks good.

Band is ok.
Not the most comfurtable.
I can wear it lose.

Now I’ve had a few with this style of digital setup , I think would be the best way, I can describe it.
Meaning no crown to turn.
U have to use the buttons to set the hands.
Not the easiest concept.
It takes some getting use to.
My first experience I read the instructions a few times. Then eventually got it.
Keep trying don’t get frustrated, it’s a pain but you’ll get it.
If u wear glasses put them on. I did. 👍
I can’t explain it , because I still refer back to the instructions. Even with this model I read it again.

Ok so this watch was purchased for work.
I need something that can take a beating.
Now that being said.
So far its holding up fine.
I work in construction, so it needs to withstand all the season’s, plus everyday hammering , carrying wood , chalkline powder, sweat , frequently washing hands & worst of all concrete. I build foundations for houses.

Good in all departments so far.

I find it easy to read.
The hands that is , digital part not so much.
But in daylight I can read it , which I have set to the calendar setting. 📅
Twist my wrist.
In the dark or at night u can forget the digital time. Not even the light feature works for the digital time. Very small window.
Strong glasses sure. ( maybe ) 👓
It lights up the hands no problem & even without my glasses I can tell the time.
Which for me is the most important thing anyway. The digital was just something that comes with it.
And during the day when at work I can see the month & day in the window without my glasses. Just twist my wrist a bit.
Plus I can read the time without glasses, I can see the hands no problem. That’s also the reason I decided on this watch , easy read design. 5⭐️ analog time.

I have had a few this yr already.
I tend to buy them when on sale.
Paying $100s for a work watch isn’t the smartest thing.

This one had the most important features & has a cover to protect the buttons & the face of the watch from scratches.
#1 – easy read analog hands. ( light )
#2 – month & date setting.
#3 – tough outer protection.
#4 – Alarms.
All other features are just a bonus that come with the watch & not really necessary.
Still trying to figure some of those out.

It’s a good brand of watch.
I’ve had a few.
Only one other is still alive & well.
The watch is perfect still & has worked perfectly. Basic style , analog / date.
The metal bracelet dug into my wrist awhile ago while picking up a form panel , nothing happened, I just set it down & adjusted my arm again. But it got me thinking that if anything ever grabbed the watch or snagged it , my hand could be damaged or worse.
So I decided on these types of watch bands.
If ever needed I can cut it off with my pocket knife , stainless steel I can not.

This is mixed now.
I have one already.
I’ve test 2 others.
There done & gone.
Broke them within a few months.
Return time had expired.
Also it’s not the manufacturer fault.
I abuse them & they break.
Normal I think for how I treat them , considering wht I do for a living.
Not many can survive those conditions on the regular.

I Casio watches.
Great brand , cool designs.

But timex is the only brand I’ve had that lasted 3 or 4yrs of regular wear & survive a beating like I get it.
This timex I’m talking about I got at Walmart for $40 🇨🇦 , great purchase.
I’ve since seen that model advertised, it’s almost $100 🇨🇦.
Not nice Eh. Lol.

Will see if this Casio model can do the same as the timex did.
I’ll revise if I break it somehow.
