Summary of user reviews:
It really divides. Big wave of 5★… but not blind. The product appeals for its retro look and its ultra light side, except that behind it, there are a lot of quibbles about readability and size. Basically: aesthetic favorite, technical compromise.
Positive points:
- Retro design / vintage look → ~20 users
The real trigger. 80s/90s nostalgia, “modernized old Casio” effect. - Lightness / comfort → ~12 users
“We don’t feel it.” Clearly designed for everyday use without constraints. - Full features (price) → ~15 users
World times, chrono, alarms, dual display… for this price, it’s pretty creamy. - Value for money → ~14 users
Consensus: difficult to do better at this price. - Ease of use (after getting started) → ~6 users
A bit of a headache at the beginning…then it’s smooth sailing.
Negative points:
- Dial/screen readability → ~18 users
Big black spot. Temperamental viewing angle, low contrast, small numbers. Some people talk about one of the worst Casio screens. - Size too small → ~16 users
“Children’s watch” effect on a wide wrist. Clearly not for everyone. - Strap quality/materials → ~12 users
Thin bracelet, cheap plastic, durability that raises doubts. - Scratch sensitivity (screen) → ~6 users
Fragile plastic. It scores quickly… sometimes too quickly. - Settings/ergonomics → ~5 users
Not super intuitive. A bit annoying to configure.
Shared/mixed points:
- Readability
Some people get used to it. Others give up. It depends… clearly. - Size
Perfect for small wrists. Disaster for others. - Overall quality
Between “safe bet” and “worse than before”. Nostalgia vs reality.
Advice :
Do you want style? Dark. It’s a pleasure watch, light, retro, fun to wear.
But if you want to read the time quickly, without a perfect angle, or if your wrist is a little strong… forget it.
Frankly ? It’s a visual crush. Not an ultra practical tool.
