Shopping for a fashionable, feature-packed timepiece doesn’t need to drain your bank account. The lowcost Casio Men’s Tough Solar Digital Sports Watch #WL20B-2A comes packed with features distinctively found in more pricey digital watches, like solar powered quartz movement–which means you’ll never need to change it is battery–an LED light with Afterglow engineering science for telling time in the dark, a day and month calendar, and four every day alarms (including a snooze function for when you need a few extra minutes of sleep). This watch also includes a stopwatch that may record split time and a low battery warning. With a leather and cloth band with a traditionalisti buckle clasp, this watch is water-resistant to 165 feet (50 meters).
The Casio StoryWith the launch of it is primary watch in November 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just came upon digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic engineering devised for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field convinced that it could create timepieces that would lead the market.
In formulating it is own wristwatches Casio started out with the basic question, “”What is a wristwatch?”" Rather than merely making a digital version of the conventional mechanical watch, we thought that the idealisti wristwatch must be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way. Based on this, Casio was capable to manufacture a watch that displayed the precise time including the second, minute, hour, day, and month — not to mention a.m. or p.m., and the day of the week. It was the original watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that annihilated the need to reset the calendar due the variation in month length. Rather than using a traditionalisti watch face and hands, a digital liquid crystal display was adopted to better show all the information. This culminated in the 1974 launch of the CASIOTRON, the world’s initial digital watch with automatic calendar. The CASIOTRON won acclaim as a groundbreaking product that represented a finish departure from the traditionalisti wristwatch.
Casio transformed the conception of the watch — from a mere timepiece to an info device for the wrist — and undertook product planning based on this modern idea. We devised not only time functions such as global time zone watches, but likewise other radical new functions using Casio’s own digital technology, including calculator and dictionary functions, as well as a phonebook feature based on memory technology, and even a thermometer function using a built-in sensor. The memory-function watches became our DATA BANK product series, while the sensor watches developed into two distinguishable Casio product lines of today: the Pathfinder series displaying altitude, atmospheric pressure, and compass readings.
In 1983, Casio launched the shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch. This product shattered the notion that a watch is a fragile piece of jewelry that needs to be handled with care, and was the result of Casio engineers taking on the challenge of creating the world’s toughest watch. Using a triple-protection design for the parts, module, and case, the G-SHOCK offered a radical new type of watch that was unaffected by strong impacts or shaking. Its practicality was without delay recognized, and it is distinctive look, which embodied it is functionality, became wildly popular, resulting in explosive sales in the early 1990s. The G-SHOCK soon adopted respective new sensors, solar-powered radio-controlled engineering science (described below), and new materials for even better durability. By always employing the latest technology, and continuing to transcend traditionalisti thinking regarding the watch, the G-SHOCK brand has become Casio’s flagship timepiece product.
Today, Casio is focusing it is attempts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery does away with the annoyance of replacing batteries, and the radio-controlled function means users never have to reset the time. In particular, the radio-controlled function represents a revolution in time-keeping engineering science similar to the affect devised when mechanical watches gave way to quartz technology. Through the further development of high radio-wave sensitivity, miniaturization, and bettered energy efficiency, Casio proceeds to fabricate a whole range of radio-controlled models.

 Light and Easy
By Alan Morrissey
I purchased this watch to replace a G Force which had been run over by a golf cart. The G Force is still running, but the case is damaged. I like the Casio brand, so I decisive to buy another one. While I liked the other watch, it was bulky and heavy, This watch caught my eye. It has a nylon mesh and leather band, which is much nicer and more confortable. The watch is thin and as light as a feather. It works just as described and keeps great time. It sleeps at night, but wakes up easily. Since I’ve had it, it has shown as to the full or entire extent charged 100% of the time. The only negative I have is that the bezel seems to scratch more easily. Overall, this has been a good purchase.

 Nice cloth band will only fit a child’s wrist.
By The Popster
Not sure what’s up with Casio. The other Casio I own has a plastic band that’s almost too long. This one isn’t sold as a kid’s watch, or look like it’s for kids, but it was cheap. Guess in the minds of the Casio gurus, that must mean it shouldn’t be worn by an adult. That’s genuinely a shame, because the feature set, with things like an ample-sized highly-visible face, a countdown timer, and an automati backlight, this WOULD have been a good purchase. Thanks for screwing it up Casio!

Excellent, lightweight casio with solar
By A Reader
I just got this watch a couple of weeks ago, and I’m very pleased with it. I’ve had Casio digital watches all my adult life, and I like this one because it is lightweight, the time digits are very readable, it is comparatively slim in thickness, and it is band is breathtakingly comfortable. There was a question with regards to the length of the band. I have a circumference 18 cm wrist, and the band fit on me with the buckle in the 3rd hole from the end. The band and watch is 22 cm end-to-end. The digits for the time are 1 cm high–very readable.
The oval-shaped figure in the upper-left corner of the face is a design which changes each second and steps up to being all filled in on the seconds ending in 5 and all blank on the seconds ending in 0. This could aid you time things that are 5 or 10 seconds or a multiple apart, but other than that it is an interesting feature that, as far as I may tell, can’t be turned off.
On the surface of the solar panels are the words CASIO (on the top solar panel) and TOUGH SOLAR (on the bottom solar panel). I would have preferent if they had left these words off–it would have made the aspect of the watch more elegant.
I have a much more costly Casio watch (about 6 times more expensive) that I don’t wear as oftentimes because it is so heavy and thick. Therefore, I may commend this solar Casio as a good choice if you want an inexpensive, thinner, lighter digital watch that is easily-readable. I am hoping that the solar charging works well over the years and saves on battery replacement.
