FT500WC Series | Men's Analog Watch | 100 Meter Water Resistance | LED Light | Date Display | Leather/Cloth Band | Regular Time Keeping (HR, Min, SEC, PM, Date, Day) | 3 Year Battery

I bought it as a cheap watch to use during Airsoft. This thing took a BB straight to the lens and all it did was leave a small scratch/scuff. It’s really good because it’s a simple watch with nothing fancy. Seems to be very accurate. Overall, it’s a great watch to get your hands dirty with.

Great watch for your active person. Good price.

I am comparing this to a Timex Men's T40011 Expedition Camper Black Fast Wrap Velcro Strap Watch . I think the target market for the Timex and this Casio are about the same...people who are looking for an inexpensive yet dependable watch to support their activities in The Great Outdoors. However, that watch doesn't need to have tons of bells and whistles on it, nor does it really need to be overbuilt. I have to say, in terms of styling this watch really has a lot going for it. It just *looks* outdoorsy. The band matches the color accents on the watch body nicely, and the numerals are complimentary to the entire scheme. It really is a sharp looking watch, especially when you consider the price point. And yes, in terms of flair I think it has the edge over the Timex, even though I could kind of do without the "Forester" name at the top of the watch. The band is nice and light nylon with a Velcro fastener. It has an entirely superfluous loop on it, though, intended to secure the end of the band. Not sure what this is for, since the Velcro keeps everything nice and tidy. It just makes it harder to take the watch off your wrist. I actually cut the loop off this watch. I'm also not a fan of the "Forester" name imprinted on the end of the band. In terms of function, the watch performs identically to the Timex with one distinction - the Casio is water resistant to 100 meters, while the Timex is water resistant to 50 meters. In practical terms, this means with the Casio you really have nothing to worry about when it comes to being near, around, or in the water. The Timex suffers a bit, since a 50 meter rating really means "showers and rain." The functions on these watches are otherwise identical - simple timekeeping, no bezel, and a date only. Honestly, since this watch was intended for a Boy Scout to have something simple with him as he's hiking around, the date function on either isn't that important for that. Now then, the illumination. The Casio features a rather nice backlight, activated by a dedicated button on the side. In practice I found the button a little difficult to manipulate. It just didn't seem as positive as the all-in-one crown and Indiglo knob on the Timex. However, the illumination does a good job in making the face easy to read in near- or total darkness, but isn't so bright that it's blinding. Since I mentioned the crown - the Casio has it offset at the 4:00 position, the Timex at 3:00. I found the crown on the Casio a little harder to manipulate because of where it is. Indeed, I couldn't pull out the crown at all while wearing the watch. So I have to say, this isn't a *bad* watch. It's a simple watch that will serve you well on outdoorsy things. It's light (indeed, I often forgot that I was wearing it) and keeps decent time. I do have to give the Timex the edge though, simply because of the way the crown is designed and the kind-of-weird light button on the Casio. But that isn't to say the Forester won't serve you well...it will.

I've on this watch 3 years and it is the best watch I ever owned. I work at USPS in the warehouse and this thing has tolerated so much abuse. I'm finally purchasing my second watch.

Tells time and date which is ALL I want in a watch. It is a replacement for the exact same make and model which through several years of hard use. Also, because it is anaalog, many Gen-Z people cannot read it which is an added benefit.

Fantastic Watch, I work in corrections its built nice and at a price range where if it happens to break doing a cell extraction or something along those lines its not gonna break the bank to fix, replace. Very sturdy easy apply watch band no mental on the watch clasp thats also huge in my line of work.

Great watch. Buy with confidence.

So far so good. dull colors and finish perfect for hunting. Water resistance should be good for fishing.

Super montre sport, très solide et avec un bracelet très pratique ! C’est la deuxième identique que j’offre à mon mari, mais helas, il semble que ce modèle soit abandonné ... Ce sera donc la dernière !

Great watch delivered on time and accurate

Good watch for kids. Too small for adult men.

Karton beschädigt, also wie verschenken? Die Uhr läuft bei Ankunft, wie lange schon und wie lange noch?
