Casio Men's DW290-1V Classic Sport Watch, Black, DW-290-1V

Product Information

I once saw a shot somewhere of a DW-290 with all of the writing on the resin sanded off and it looked quite a bit better. The Casio Dw290 is a sports watch, so while it doesn’t have to be one of the toughest watches in the world, it needs to be tough, and durable enough to handle rugged environments. We are going to be looking into this watch by examining the build quality, design, features, and pricing. The one glaring omission is the lack of G-Shock-level impact resistance, but the DW-291H does look much more rugged than the average Casio watch. The large CR2016 battery is rated for two years and is easy to replace, with four screws to remove the case back.

Considering the Gs - the G-7900, G-7710, GL-7500, GX-56 and GW-2500 probably get the most wrist time - but I also like the GLX-6900 and G-7600. After it is all said and done, we should be able to come to a reasonable conclusion about this watch. Multi-time with 4 cities, and world time: The DW-5600 and some other basic G-Shock models lack world time.

The 291H is lightweight, has a bold design with great digit visibility, an outstanding backlight, and suitably audible hour chime and alarms without being obnoxious. The 1AVCF with gray LCD, silver-gray bezel combo, and the 1BVEF with gray LCD, silver-gray bezel and a red surround panel under the crystal.

The G-8000 has one of the best modules and is also one of my favourites but doesn't get as much wristtime as the others. It was an early digital camera innovator, and during the 1980s and 1990s, the company developed numerous affordable home electronic keyboards for musicians along with introducing the first mass-produced digital watches. So much for that ’10 year battery’ claim stated on the watchface in red, on the watch box and in the description everywhere this watch is sold.

I will try to avoid reviewing mundane tools like hammers or screwdrivers unless they have a unique feature, such as Bluetooth or the ability to find that 10 mm socket you were just using.
