Great watch with vibrating alarm, lighted view and 10-year battery
I think this Casio watch would be great even if it didnât have a 10-year battery. I know thereâs a disclaimer with these 10-year batteries that if you use the light feature very often it will reduce the overall battery life but Iâm not too concerned about that. The vibrating alarm feature is handyâyou can set the alarm to vibrate only for a discreet reminder that no one else will be aware of as they would be if it was set to audible alarm beep. Also, Iâve had great luck with Casio watches over the year being durable and extremely accurate timepieces. Itâs a big watch case but I was prepared for that. Great value for the money.

Updated Review : Itâs a Keeper
Okay Iâm gonna change my initial review and give this watch what it deserves. 5 ⨠I like it a lot because of the vibe alarm feature. Itâs a good looking watch as well with a Blue backlight which I particularly like better than the white one. Fit and finish is on par plus a good value at sub $30 priceYouâll have a good watch. Oh and I think I should mention the easy wear for me I donât notice it at all itâs not obnoxiously big like the +50mm clock thatâs out there.

Great All-Around Watch
I had one of these watches and I took it through the ringer, one day the band got caught in some strange position and snapped. Naturally that was the end of my first one. So I took to Amazon to buy the very same watch, if that doesn’t speak volumes then I don’t know what will.I think the main selling point of this watch is its functionality combined with its durability. I use it as my everyday watch, I’m often caught in the middle of running around trying to catch meeting all whilst planning more. So it’s nice to have the date and time conveniently there without having to look at my phone.I also wear it when I go to workout, the stopwatch feature helps between sets or when going out on a run. Not to mention you can hop in the shower without taking it off due to the water resistance.The vibration alarm is one of my favorite functions on the whole watch. It’s not enough to wake you up out of a deep sleep of course, but definitely strong enough to wake you from say a quick nap. I tend to use it most when I’m cooking. That way I can get other things done around the house without having to be within earshot of a timer.I’m 24 so my group of friends more often than not mistake it for a G-Shock which isn’t exactly the worst thing in the world. It’s a stylish watch for the price paid. That being said it’s obviously not the kind of watch you necessarily want to pair with say a dress shirt due to its height.All in all, I would without a doubt recommend this watch to someone who needed a “do it all” kind of watch. You really can’t go wrong with this watch for that price, plus it’s Casio.

Great Watch – didn’t vibrate ME awake, but neither did the Timex equivalent
I love getting up early, and would prefer not to wake my wife (or bunk-mates when I’m camping w guys). A vibration alarm makes sense. So I purchased the Timex T49851 Expedition, along with the Casio equivalent, the W735H-1AVCF. This is a review of both. They are within dollars of one another.LOOKS – Personally I think the Timex looks more modern, more “socially acceptable” if you’re inclined to wear it in many situations. The Casio is a great G-Shock-like look. Whatever criteria Casio places upon naming a watch a G-Shock, this watch is not. Still, it looks tough and I would think it is tough enough.WEIGHT – Both watches are lightweight – the new durable resins simply do not require weight for strength. Don’t despair over lightweight with either.DISPLAY – The display on the Timex is much larger and all functions are easier to see, although the smaller LCD digits of the Casio are bolder. Still, I prefer the Timex because I never had to squint at little icons or labels.OPERATION AND PROGRAMMING – Both are fine. You fiddle with them, you read a little of the manuals, you’ll do fine. The Timex functions with Timex functionality, the Casio with Casio functionality. I do prefer the Casio’s instant changeover to another function when you press a button. The Timex will, for example, display “CHRONO” and then go into the chrono mode. No biggee.ALARMS AND FEATURES – The Timex has more, so many more in fact that you have the option to hide some of them (which I did, although I still kept more readily available than were offered on the Casio).WAKING YOU UP – They differ here. The Casio beeps (or vibrates, OR COMBINATION) – and the vibration is 7 vibrations, and the beep is pretty loud. The Timex (I returned it, so I am speaking from recent memory) vibrates 5 times and then a short while later (sort of like a reminder) vibrates 5 times again. I do not think the Casio provides for a combination vibrate/beep event. Another point to note is that on the Timex in combo mode, the vibration goes off first, giving you a chance to awake and shut it off prior to the beeping (waking maybe you and folks around you).FRUSTRATION FOR ME – I sleep like an appliance unplugged from the wall. I wore both watches to sleep (different nights, and/or set them for different times). NEITHER successfully woke me (by vibration only) out of a sound sleep. There’s a new Casio being offered (more costly) called the GD350. It has a vibration alarm. I do not expect it to be a whole lot more vibration-effective than this Casio, which I returned. Perhaps I am wrong in that expectation. I do still like the potential to quietly vibrate me into some notification DURING THE DAY, when I am around folks, so the vibration alarm remains a nice feature, on either watch.BATTERY LIFE – Here’s where the Casio wins hands-down. The Casio tells us it has a TEN YEAR battery. I LOVE that! The Timex is likely a year or two or three, depending upon how many times you ask it to vibrate, beep, etc. Ten years is a wonderful thing for a watch battery, and if longevity of function is your priority, the Casio wins hands-down. BTW – the new Casio GD350 says the battery is good for 5 years. Still pretty excellent. All of the watch instructions tell you battery life is based upon usage of function.MY BOTTOM LINE – I am wearing the Timex. I returned the Casio. They are both great watches. I still wish a vibrating alarm watch could wake ME up, but likely it would need to be 110 volt-powered, plugged into the wall, activating a kitchen blender motor strapped to my wrist.

Exceptional watch for the money. Easy to read, enough features. All good. Just to be clear, the watch is dark grey, not black but I actually like that

Bought this watch purely for the vibrating alarm. Turns out the alarm only goes off for a couple of seconds which meant I’ve slept through it numerous occasions
