Casio Aq164wd 2Av Ana Digi Sport Watch

Casio’s Ana-Digi sport watch is the idealisti watch for men on the move. It features a full-face digital and analog display over a black dial for time telling at a glimpse and a stainless steel band for all-day comfort. Great for swimmers and runners, this sports watch likewise includes 60-lap memory, a day, date, and month display, and is water immune to a depth of 330 feet. The 43.5-millimeter metal case is polished to a sleek yet rugged looking finish.

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 ran into digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field convinced that it could invent timepieces that would lead the market.

In formulating it is own wristwatches Casio begun 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 will have to be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way. Based on this, Casio was competent to create 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 eradicated the need to reset the calendar due the variation in month length. Rather than using a established 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 conventional wristwatch.

Casio transformed the conception of the watch — from a mere timepiece to an data device for the wrist — and undertook product planning based on this innovative idea. We developed 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 devised into two distinctive 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 distinguishable 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 (described below), and new materials for even better durability. By always employing the latest technology, and continuing to transcend traditionalisti thinking in regards to 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 technology similar to the affect invented 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 give rise to a whole range of radio-controlled models.

5Casio Watch
By D. Burchardt
I have had the watch with regards to a month now and like it very much. Have had a few remarks on how nice it looks. The “digital sweep seconds” feature is very cool. I love the brushed look of the metal. the crystal has stayed scratch free so far. The digital display could be a little larger but that is a function of 51 year old eyes calling for reading glasses. Overall I am very happy with my new watch and feel it is a outstanding value.

4Solid Performer
By Robert N Victa
The watch is a outstanding buy for the price. You won’t go defective purchasing this one.

The size is just right and presents itself very well and comfortable on the wrist.

The time has been very accurate. The watch has a heap of features, perchance too a heap of like the split stopwatch feature which is very complicated.

The flashing seconds around the face is a casio classic. You’ll like seeing the marks clear after each full minute. This reminds me of earlier casio models that had flashing seconds bar on the display.

It would be nice if the LCD number display was larger. The countdown timer is a nice feature and there are multiple alarms. It is too bad that the watch has a “Mineral” = Plastic crown. I hope this doesn’t scratch easily. The watch is made in China…I would have preferent it was made in Japan as they applied to be.

There is a blue version of the watch offered on Amazon that may look sharper than the black. The stainless steel band is so much nicer than the rubber ones casio watches ordinarily have. The watch looks much better than in the picture.

Setting the watch features are a little complex and need the manual. However, isn’t that percentage of the fun?

Hint: Find the manual on the casio web web site so you may actually read it. The manual that comes with the watch has too little print.

This is a outstanding each day watch at very reasonable price.
