About this deal

It is priced on the lowest pricing tier of watches. While it stops just shy of being a truly bargain bin priced watch, the price is low enough that it shouldn’t be a burden on anybody’s wallet. Other than that, all of the different features and settings can be accessed and changed using the 4 buttons around the case. I put it on the 5600 adapters, works ok. What could be used as spacers on each side of the adapter to keep it from sliding? Approximate 10-year battery (versus 2-year battery for the DW-5600): Of course, real world usage may vary, and it’s possible for the DW-5600 battery to last much longer than two years.

My Casio DW291H, now 7 months old, showed signs of a failing battery. 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. Casio was established as Kashio Seisakujo in April 1946 by Tadao Kashio [ ja] (1917–1993), an engineer specializing in fabrication technology. [1] Kashio's first major product was the yubiwa pipe, a finger ring that would hold a cigarette, allowing the wearer to smoke the cigarette down to its nub while also leaving the wearer's hands free. [5] Japan was impoverished immediately following World War II, so cigarettes were valuable, and the invention was a success.The same thing we have all done after yard work. Just jumping in the shower with the watch on and washing the watch with a washcloth to remove the dirt and sweat. After a few weekends of yard work and showers, I noticed the lettering was gone. Size: 50.5 x 50.4 x 13.5 millimeters (versus 48.9 x 42.8 x 13.4 for the DW-5600). Those who find the 5600 series too small may prefer this larger size. The larger size of this watch also means larger digits on the display. The watch also has bigger buttons that are operable with gloves.

Casio also makes products for local markets, including "Prayer Compass" watch series designed to help Muslims pray on time and in the right direction. [16] Gallery [ edit ]Now that we’ve covered the basics, we can get into the depth of this review. The first aspect of this watch that we are going to look at is the build quality. Build Quality Countdown start time setting range: 1 second to 24 hours (1-second increments, 1-minute increments and 1-hour increments) What we can conclude here is that this is yet another solid watch from Casio. In terms of build quality, and pricing, you get a pretty decent watch at a very affordable price. The appearance, fit, features and most of the design of the DW291H are great. But I’ve never had to replace the battery of any watch I’ve owned at the 7 month point. BTW, just for additional info, if the plastic bezel part become shiny, you can use pencil eraser to dull them up..

In the 1980s, Casio's budget electronic instruments and its line of affordable home electronic musical keyboard instruments became popular. The company also became well known for the wide variety and innovation of its wristwatches. It was one of the earliest manufacturers of quartz watches, both digital and analog. It also began selling calculator watches during this time. Casio also introduced one of the first watches that could display the time in many different time zones of the world and with features like recording temperature, atmospheric-pressure and altitude. In the later years, Casio's wristwatches were fitted with receivers to synchronise with radio towers around the world and Global Positioning System for timekeeping accuracy.Admittedly, the overall design here is not the best we’ve seen from Casio, but it is not entirely horrid to look at either. This style will appeal to some, and not so much to others. I like it - although I must admit I never wear it - but many of my watches never get worn and I like them nonetheless :-d: Its dial window is made from mineral crystal, and the band is resin. Water resistance is 200 meters, which means that you can swim, shower, bathe, and even go diving with it on and it should be ok. In conclusion, the Seiko DW290-1V is a valuable tool for the garage. It’s a tough, Craftsman-like tool that does its job without too much fanfare, it looks decent and one can wear it in the shower after a day’s work in the garage. I think it’s an excellent value. If I were to lay it on the ground and accidentally run over it with the LeMans, I would replace it with the exact same watch.
