But I intend to order another the minute (or so — I don’t have a working watch) I finish writing this review. Why? It has been a great watch. Analog plus digital gives me easy-to-read intuitive time checking, along with all the bells and whistles of silicon: multiple times, alarm, stop watch, and calendar. The outer ring on the face lets me rotate the “north” arrow to a future time, say 45 minutes from now, and I know time’s up when the minute hand gets there. (I have no idea why the face ring has compass points and degrees marked on it — to fool one’s friends?) The watch has been rugged, holding up to the shock of using hoes and axes, although I didn’t push my luck if I remembered to take it off. I’m looking at my old friend, now motionless and blank, and figure he had a pretty good run. Time’s up for this timepiece, at a cost of a little more than $10 per year. Since I bought the last one on display at Mervyn’s, I didn’t get a box or manual and didn’t even know what it was called AMW320D until looking it up on the web just now. AMW320D I didn’t even know your name all these great years together. 28 of 28 people found the following review helpful. Well, here’s a watch that’s the best of both worlds. With this Marine Gear, Casio has a real classic “diver” watch both in form and function. In function, this watch has all the classical functions I like in in the digital line-up: stopwatch, alarm, hourly beep, and date. The digital time and dual time has come in handy, especially travelling. In fact, with the analog hands, you can have three time zones on your watch at once. Also, it is easy to synchronize the digital and analog seconds. In the analog department, the hand are the easy to see-at-a-glance oversized diver fashion. The hour markers are made to show up in the dark. My only disappointment is that the luminosity lasts only for an hour so in the dark; it won’t get you through the night. But that’s only a minor let-down. As to form, here’s a real classic look in the world of water sport and divers watches. I’ve found that the hefty steel case, elapsed-time ring, canary yellow dial, and wide black divers strap make a really attractive and tough-looking wrist accessory that get lots of remarks like, “great watch!” from friends. I first noticed this Marine Gear in about 1989 and immediatly thought, “Wow, gotta get this watch!” (In those days, the first Marine Gears has the function pushers at 8 and four rather than at 8 and 10 on the latest models.) Even though that watch is still working fine after about 15 years, I got a couple of others too. In the mid-90′s, Casio put out a models with black and white dials and steel band. I like them too, though I wear them with the the black divers bands which still seem readily available as replacements. However, after all, I think the Yellow dial model is still the coolest. Take it from a watch freak who thinks the bigger the better, if you’re into the divers style in watches, you’ll come to like the size and heft of this Casio and its tough indesructability and maybe come to think too that is one of the greatest of all time. 16 of 16 people found the following review helpful. |
