AW81D Series | Watches for Men | Analog Digital Watch | Silver Stainless Steel | 1/100 SEC Stopwatch | Countdown Timer | World Time | LED Light | 50M WR | Multi Alarm | Calendar | 10 Yr Batt

The Casio AW81D is easily one of the best values in the Casio lineup. It perfectly balances a classic "steel" look with heavy-duty digital features. Why I love it: • 10-Year Battery: Truly a "set it and forget it" timepiece. • Ana-Digi Display: Best of both worlds, analog hands for quick reading and a digital screen for timers, alarms, and world time. • Comfort: Surprisingly lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear. • Features: The Telememo and World Time functions are incredibly useful for travel or storing quick reference notes. Bottom Line: If you want a durable, handsome, and feature-rich watch that punches way above its price point, this is it. It’s the ultimate reliable daily driver. Pros: Long battery life, versatile style, very lightweight. Cons: Vintage-style amber LED light (not a full backlight).

This is a great looking and functioning watch from Casio. A world time function, plus a timer and memo capability make this a helpful wrist friend. The blue dial, along with the font for the numbers, really help this watch look and feel like like something from the early 2000's, when music videos were over saturated and we all carried Motorola Razr's and LG Chocolate's. It's a fun, functional piece of nostalgia that works and frankly, will outlast an Apple Watch in it's functions as a watch. Some things to know, though. The body is plastic, the bracelet is stainless steel. This means the watch is light weight and pleasant to wear, but it is in no way a G-Shock. It doesn't offer the same rugged reliability and water resistance, so do not buy this watch and expect that you can go diving or hiking and bash this thing around and have it survive. It might, for a while, but it'll look abused quickly. The "crystal" is also plastic. It will scratch and scuff quickly if you're careless. So if keeping something looking new is a priority for you, this little watch will take some extra care to do so. The four pushers feel positive and not cheap. It's interesting to me how Casio can make so many watches out of plastic materials and still feel better made than some several hundred dollar fashion watches. There is a backlight, and it works. Two amber LED's offer illumination from the three and nine positions. It does not, however, illuminate the digital display. In a way I wish Casio would update this watch and give it better backlighting like they did with other models, and in other ways I want them to leave it be. A piece of that early 2000's charm, as it were. The bracelet is easy to adjust with proper tools (or improper. A well made #5 mechanical pencil, tweezers, and pliers can do the job). A solid fit can be achieved in a matter of minutes. Who is this watch good for? Folks who need an every day watch that doesn't break the bank, has quartz accuracy and reliability, and need either multiple timers or a world time feature. College kids, young professionals, people with lives and jobs that don't take too much toll on their stuff. People who like to have a few affordable watches they can change out with outfits. Who is this watch NOT for? Military personnel, people with rugged jobs. Runners (the bracelet CAN pull hair occasionally), cyclists, hikers, lumberjacks. People who need a timepiece to survive the worst, you should look elsewhere. This watch won't survive your lifestyle.

The watch itself is good, but the design is flawed because it is all blue; there is no way to tell the time at dusk or in a dimly lit room like mine (I’m not a fan of direct sunlight)—the time simply won't be visible. The backlight is so weak that if you activate it at night, you only see a faint ring around the edge of the watch face—like an eclipse—but you still can't see the time. The movement is undoubtedly good—10-year battery life!—so there are no complaints there, but if you don't have great eyesight, I wouldn't recommend it. I had to return mine; if only they had added luminous hands, it would make such a difference.

I have been using inexpensive Casio digitals for some twenty years now. I am a retired airline pilot and have always liked their multiple alarms, 24 hour clock, date readout and decent enough accuracy. This watch has the features I look for, with a bonus of the data storage and analog readout. I have only had this watch for five days and so far I like it. However, this is my second watch from this order. The first arrived in apparently good condition.....I read all the directions and set it up and it worked fine......for just four hours that is. Then it stopped and everything went blank. No combination of buttons could revive it. On a good note.....Amazon sent me a replacement that arrived just two days later, along with the shipping label to return the old one. So far, the new watch is working as expected. There are minor shortcomings however. The light that illuminates the dial is almost useless. You can see the glow of the analog hands, but that is the only thing visible.....with or without the light for that matter. If you want to read the watch at night, you will have to turn on a light, unless the glow from the analog hands is enough for you. The other visibility problem is reading the digital display....even with decent lighting. The digital display is viewable through a cutout in the analog face plate, and is small to begin with. The problem is that the cutout is not large enough, and the upper portion of the digital data is partially obscured at certain viewing angles. Sometimes the obscuration is worsened because the face plate casts a shadow over part of the digital readout. This problem is tempered by the fact that you still have the analog display as primary. Still, a minor nuisance. Another minor problem is the alarm volume. This has been a tendency of Casio for the last few years. I used to have a Telememo Data Bank that I used as my primary alarm. It would wake me up from a dead sleep over 90% of the time. The newer alarms wake me up less than 30% of the time. Again, a minor problem unless this watch is your primary alarm clock. The last point is about the ten year battery included. I have read that the ten year battery will only last ten years if you don't use the light or the alarm. Every time you use either, it reduces the life of the battery. My previous ten year battery barely lasted three years. All in all, I still like this watch......so far. I wish the backlight, visibility and alarm volume were better, but then it would be an almost perfect watch. Still a good buy for $22.

I have 2 other Casios, both atomic, and have had a number of other much older Casios I've eventually given to my son when I wanted a new one. All are still running fine. I got this watch since the atomic models are much more complicated to set for the various functions, and I plan to be visiting other time zones. On this watch, you can easily set the digital display to the new time zone, and display it all the time with your home time on analog. Anytime you need day, month, and date you can instantly toggle to it with one button push, then one more to go back to the digital time in the new zone. I am old and technology challenged, but found this watch relatively easy to set up and learn. I did not find it too small for a large man's wrist as did another reviewer. Nor was the band tight as another said. In fact, I had to remove one link from the band, and my arms are large. You may have to go on the internet to see the procedure to do that. If you're not good at that sort of thing you might want to see a jeweler, it shouldn't cost much....but the internet instructions are pretty good. As far as having to hold a button down for a long time to set the analog hands, since it will only advance forward, don't worry about that. Since analog time doesn't show am or pm (digital does), you will only have to go forward at most 12 hours. Also, if you push a second button while pushing the first to make the hands advance, you can then let both go and it will quickly advance on its own until you push another button to stop it. You can then advance it slowly, 20 second jumps at a time. I easily synced the analog display exactly to the digital display, setting both using one of my Casio atomics. It is a very handsome watch, and the case and band seem of very good quality, not looking cheap. You will not have to feel ashamed to wear this watch anywhere. Oh yes, the alarm is not loud, so don't expect to use it unless you are a very light sleeper.

I bought this watch over four years ago. I like it. I prefer analog hands for the time and like being able to see the day & date & this watch fits the bill. It's missing a sweep second hand - but there's a digital stopwatch for when I need to keep track of seconds. It works fine. Have never needed to change the battery (it claims it will work for 10 years - so far, so good). My only complaint is that the metallic finish on the case has worn off - so it looks now like cheap plastic, particularly in bright sunlight. But for everyday, comfortable & reliable time telling - it's great. UPDATE: at 5.5 years the battery died. I swapped in one I'd had on my shelf for a while - died in a week. Tried another - died in a week. Bought a new one - died after two weeks. Bought a name brand new one (Eveready) - lasted a month. So the lifetime is about half of the advertised 10 years in this one example. I don't know why a new battery won't last more than a month... Maybe some flaw has developed that uses a lot of energy. I'm in the market for a new watch... Update2: I did eventually get a battery that has lasted a few more years and is still working. I don't know why I had that run of bad luck with batteries. I swap between this and the other Casio watch I bought based on the same module depending on my mood.

good produce

Very attractive and even though I had to use up all the band adjustment, the watch is always in a readable position even though it's still a bit loose. I think the size and shape keep it in a decent position. I also have the AW-80 which has a rubber band I detested. That the beauty of these inexpensive watches, you can change without a financial burden.

شكلها قييم جدا ووصلت بسرعه وعلبتها قييمه كذلك

A great little watch I'm pretty happy with so far, after several months. On my 7 and 1/2 inch wrist it fits very nice. It feels slightly bigger than the stated 39mm case diameter, perhaps due to the case shape. Out of the box I didn't feel the need to remove any links, but after wearing it for a while and things loosening up slightly, removing 1 link has given me a perfect fit. Pros: -Nice design, unique case and crystal shape. Very funky and retro feeling, but it does have a little style to it as well. -All the useful features: 2 regular alarms and a snooze alarm, countdown timer, stopwatch, day and date on the home screen, world time functionality, hourly chime. I can't really find a use for the telememo function in today's world of smart phone contacts, but it's a novel retro gimmick. The nice part about all the functions of this watch is that while using any of them, you can always simultaneously read the current time via the hands. They will somewhat obstruct the digital screen at specific times, but since the hands are fairly thin, you're usually able to angle the watch slightly to see what you need during these times. -10 year battery. -Comfortable and light on wrist. -Buttons large and easy to use, but hard to accidentally press. Cons: -Unlike some other Casios and Gshocks, there is no setting to MUTE this watch's beeps that occur when pressing buttons to use the functions. It is possible to silence the watch entirely, including all alarms, by opening up the caseback and finding something to obstruct the speaker spring from connecting to the watch, but this is obviously not an ideal solution, so I deal with the beeps. -I would have liked to see 100m water resistance like with the similarly priced Casio AE1200, instead of the 50m on this watch, but 50m is still fine. -As others have mentioned, since the crystal is acryllic, not mineral, and is domed, it is more prone to picking up scratches. from what I understand scratches on acryllic crystals can be buffed out using polywatch or possibly even toothpaste, but I haven't accrued any major enough scratches to want to try yet. My advice is to just be careful and try not to bump the front of the watch against anything too hard. This is a tradeoff I'm personally ok with, considering what you get is a nice retro-looking domed crystal for relatively cheap. -the backlight is not bright, but it is serviceable. In low light it does give off enough light from around the dial so you can make out both the hands, AND what is shown on the digital display, even though the digital display does not light up itself. -the lume appears pretty weak to me, especially on the numbers and dots around the dial. On the watch hands the lume is stronger, but is still only really noticeable in complete darkness, not in low light. -Like many affordable Casios, the case is of course plastic, colored to match the bracelet, which is actual stainless steel. Another acceptable tradeoff when considering the price. I would recommend watching a youtube video explaining how to set the time initially as it is a bit confusing at first, but becomes easier with practice.

Im Retro Look. Nichts zu meckern !

Ottimo Casio considerato il rapporto prezzo qualità.

I have bought myself a brand new Casio AW81D-2AV Telememo watch and it is in first class condition, super fast delivery from USA, it arrived a week earlier than expected. Well packaged and a shiny new metal bracelet to compliment the fine looking watch. Excellent seller will be looking to do business with this seller again AAA+++
