A Good Watch Overall
Casio is a very popular brand of watches and an affordable one at that. I bought the Casio Illuminator Digital Sportswatch in light pink for both its aesthetic and its convenience. It cost me about $16 dollars and I use it nearly daily. I am sure I have only removed my watch before going to bed and when I shower, otherwise it is on my wrist ready to deliver me the time.The product itself fits around my wrist with ease as there are multiple points of adjustment. Unlike today’s smartwatches, this serves one purpose: to tell me the time. I can respect that sort of goal. It also has a timer and alarm feature that works well with its format. I seldom use the timer feature but the alarm alerts me whenever the hour changes, which I find good. There’s a setting to change to a 24hour clock, my preferred method of reading time.However, there are some issues with this watch in particular. Though these features may be implimented in different Casio models, I will only reference this particular watch. When setting up the time or the alarm, there is no option to go back in time if one were to, let’s say, accidentally set an alarm one hour after their preferred time. One would have the click the button several more times to get back to where you started and god must hate you if you skip past it again in your haste. Another worth noting is that the button to change the hour/minutes is the same as the light button, meaning it flashes every time one presses down again. It is a mild grievance but one I do not enjoy. Speaking of the flash, it only lights for as long as you press it. It would’ve been better if it were a toggle with an internal timer to turn off after a couple of seconds or minutes rather than immediately turning off.However, these are mild things and I enjoy the product very much. I am sure that the features I have listed are not unique and are put into more expensive, high-end digital watches. For $16, it is a good, affordable watch that provides value to the consumer. I’d give it an A.

Practical and Functional Watch
The Casio Illuminator is a great watch for everyday use. I love its classic design, and the backlight is really handy in the dark. It has several features, like a stopwatch and alarm, which are perfect for keeping me organized. The battery life is impressive, and it feels very durable. Plus, it’s lightweight and comfortable to wear. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and versatile watch.

Casio Watch
Great watch. Love the all black look and the backlight is pretty decent. Wore it camping and had no problem seeing time in the dark. Priced right too around $20.

Great watch, scratches easy
This is the second time I’ve ordered one of these watches. I had the first one for several years before the plastic band eventually snapped while putting it on one day. Both of them that I’ve had suffer from scratches, but the watch itself is easy to setup, the time is large and easy to read, the watch face is a good size, and at this price I don’t know if there’s a better looking watch.

Best cheap Casio for me
I like all sub-$20 Casios, but found the bezels way too small. This is the only cheap Casio that has a 40+mm width close to a Gshock look. The resin wristband also has a Gshock look. Bright backlit orange that stays on as long as button is held. A+ basics but chonky enough to look pricier.

Great Watch! Took It For Months of Swimming & It Keeps Working!
Casio makes great, sturdy, water resistant watches. This one was taken swimming and used in showers for months and is still going strong so far.Nowadays so many old brands are dying bc of a flood of junk sold at super cheap prices. It’s so nice to have an old, tried and true brand from back when digital watches first hit the market and that brand still making great quality products!And the Warranty is great too! Tells me Casio makes products that will last so I don’t have to keep busy with buying new things that are junk and discarding them and needing to buy the item again.Great company. Great watches. Highly recommended! (…for everyone except watch snobs).

Crazy Value
It’s not a G-Shock but fir most everyday wear it doesnt have to be. I’ve been wearing Casio watches since the 80s amd have passed the tradition down to my kids. I picked up this model for my yongest to add to his collection. He’s thin but it wears like a G-Shock which is a good thing. Buttons are easy to use. Alarm is LOUD. Band is plastic, not silicone. Negative display is for young eyes, but looks better then the positive version. Light is bright making it easy to read in the dark.Find a Casio watch with the style in undaunting. There appears to be an endless variety to choose from. There are good channels on YT that cover budget Casio watches that will help you pick the right one. This watch is a good place to start.

Excelente como siempre de parte de Casio, no es muy pesado y es muy resistente, lo usaré para salidas al campo.

This Casio watch feels sturdy. It was easy to change the date/time and the backlight works well. I was a bit worried the size was too big and it would look âchunkyâ but I think it still looks stylish especially with the off white color and feels comfortable. Review to be updated after a few weeks of use!Only minor downside was that the watch was already running / turned on when I received it. I also read this in another review.
