Casio Wave Ceptor Men's Watch WV-58DE-1AVEG

Excellent quality watch. Used it for more than a year. Time was always accurate.1. I place it above chest of drawers and there are 2 full wooden roof levels above the level of building where I place this watch in the night and far away from window (3 meters minimum). Always gets the signal in the night. I place my watch facing up using the foam that it came with. However when I just throw my watch in to one of the drawers in the same chest of drawers when it is not facing upwards sometimes it does not get signal. But it happened only 3 times in a year. I am not sure what will be the situation under concrete roofs but will probably always get signal if placed near window in the night.2. Switches to day light saving time automatically.3. The glass on the watch is little tough against scratches that can happen from light rubbing and daily use, the glass is probably transparent plastic but I am not sure about this, but I am sure if scratched very hard or with very sharp object will be scratched. My watch has got only one tiny scratch which is only visible under a torch light.3. There is a little plastic ring on the front, in which wave ceptor is etched in the bottom, the plastic has lost some nickle colour around wave ceptor writing but since the plastic itself is kind of light grey so it is still not very visible and not very serious or noticeable, this ring is very thin as compared to the rest of watch.4. Other people have reported button being pressed unintentionally and loosing battery etc., I have not faced any such problem.5. I was able to adjust the metal strap using tiny screw drivers but I am sure it can be adjusted by using the tip of knife, if you do not have those screw drivers, it clearly gives the direction in which to take out the metal bits from strap, but take time in doing so as sharp knife can ruin the looks of metal strap if used carelessly.6. I am getting these signals in East of England the reception of signals will vary at different location. Its better if you can confirm the strength of signal in your location before purchase but I have absolutely no idea how.

Feels nice and heavy better than a lot of the cheaper metal casios. Takes a little bit of understanding and setting up to recieve time updates but once i worked it out it updates every morning 2.00am ish without fail and i use it to set my other far more expensive watches by. A really nice piece of casio tech and if you prefer metal bracelets its the one to get in the sub £50 range.

This is a fairly good watch that looks reasonably nice compared with most other digital watches I've seen.The watch has some difficulty synchronising with the time broadcast sometimes, but for me, this is likely due to interference from bad weather, surrounding buildings and the distance (~1100 km) between my location and the broadcast locations in Germany or the UK. Synchronising at night does definitely tend to be much more successful than during the day. Once synced, however, the watch itself is very accurate. It was within a second when comparing with the results obtained via a computer from accurate NTP servers.The display is very clear and easy to read and the back light is very good for reading in the dark.Like most metal band watches, the band has to be adjusted by someone with appropriate tools to do the job (e.g. a Jeweller/watch repairer), which is a mild inconvenience. The band itself does occasionally tend to pinch hairs on my wrist when it moves around, which can be a little irritating.Learning the functions of the watch is not the most intuitive experience at first, but the instruction manual is very clear and well written and it doesn't take long to learn the basics.Take care when using the World Time function, as it doesn't switch back to the normal time mode after any timeout. So if you forget that you put it in world time mode and have that set to a timezone close to, but not the same as your own, you could be mistaken about what time it really is.I like that this watch supports 24 hour time and switching the date fromat from MM-DD-YYYY to DD-MM-YYYY. Sadly, no ability to use YYYY-MM-DD.I also like that it correctly determines daylight savings time for the regions it supports. However, this does require synchronisation with the time broadcast to work properly when DST is set to AUTO. though it does also allow manual setting of DST mode to ON and OFF when this is not possible.

• I have had two of these excellent watches. The battery on the first one lasted eight years and, in view of its age, I decided to replace the watch rather than renew the battery.* The watch synchronises with the atomic clock every night both at my house in the Isle of Wight and in a house I have in Spain on the Costa Blanca. I suspect it might have a problem in Portugal or the west of Spain. It failed to synchronise once when I stayed at a hotel in Bilbao.• I have never had the problem reported by others of the date resetting.• I had no difficulty removing links to fit the watch to my wrist. There are several YouTube videos showing how to do it - enter "how to adjust the metal strap on a Casio Wave Ceptor watch" in your search engine.

Didn’t last that long and battery just dead. No watch no satellite no time just died on me. Never buy from you again ever.

Bought this type as I had a very similar one which experienced battery death a few weeks ago (May 2020) after being bought in sumemr 2013. This watch arrived already "ticking" in the box, so I don't know if the battry has already suffered some depletion. Watch band is a very comfortable type, you'll need some fine tweezers (ones cheap enough to sacrifice their pointy ends in the effort) to adjust the strap if you want it shorter. Shame this is as expensive as it is, would happily by a similar one for cheaper with the real-time atomic clock updating function and backlight functions not included, but such a model doesn't exist and this sort has a very comfortable fit, an easy to set display and has from previous experience lasted a good fraction of a decade.
