Product Description
The casio Men's Waveceptor Atomic Dual-Time Watch #WVQ400J-1 combines convenient, athletic attributes and sophisticated styling. With a stainless steel case and bezel, a black resin band, and a black dial, this timepiece is a fashionable, durable choice for everyday wear. Its unique face includes three subdials, small white indices marking each second, faceted silver-tone indices marking each hour, three hands, and luminous accents. A small, digital display at four o'clock provides added functionality, while a window made of acrylic acid resin protects the face. This watch is water resistant to 330 feet and is backed by a one-year manufacturer warranty.
I purchased this watch about 2 months ago, and I wear it every day, and really like it. I also have another Casio WaveCeptor watch, and compared to it, this one will not synchronize as dependably. If left in a window it will synchronize every night, but only about 50% of the time if left in a dresser drawer or in the medicine cabinet. The other WaveCeptor I own (which ironically was much less money - it's all digital), will synchronize in the basement!
The main issues is the crystal - the piece of clear plastic or glass that covers the dial. On this watch it is not made of fine glass, but rather of plastic, and will scratch. I have generally found that watches that cost over about $30-50 will have a glass mineral crystal, so it's very surprising that a watch that almost hits $100 will have a plastic crystal, and a soft one at that. My advice, get the watch, enjoy it, in a year or two when the crystal is beat up, get a jeweler to replace it with a true glass mineral crystal - about $30.
I bought this watch to replace my Citizen Skyhawk which I thought was a little too heavy for me. I love the fact that it is solar powered, just as the Skyhawk. However the Atomic has a backlight and syncs with Fort Collins for always updated time. This works very well (I live in the Midwest). It is waterproof and I wear it swimming frequently. Nice size and weight for the watch.
A good value in an attractive package but with serious limitations.
Pros:
Very impressive appearance. Three small dials and LCD window, sweep second hand. Excellent timekeeper with automatic updating through Waveceptor capability. Automatic or manual dial illumination is excellent for nighttime use.
Cons:
Stopwatch function. (1) Elapsed minutes are not displayed except on the left small dial that's marked in 5-minute intervals. Between these tics, you have to guesstimate minutes from the tiny dial. (2) The upper small dial measures 1/20th-second intervals during the first minute of stopwatch operation. While it spins impressively for that minute, it serves no other useful function as the LCD window displays 1/100th-second intervals continuously. (3) There is no lap-time function; the stopwatch is on or off.
Date function: The only display is the date (e.g. "4") in the LCD window. There is no display for day-of-week or month name. This is an inexcusable omission.
Alarm function: To set the alarm, you must select the alarm time by holding one of the buttons while the watch fast-forwards from 12:00 a.m. If you overshoot, you can't back up, and must go around again. This is unacceptably clumsy and inconvient.
Other: (1) Plastic crystal can scratch easily. (Casio's mineral crystal is virtually scratchproof. Too bad it isn't on this watch). (2) The rubber-like plastic band isn't replacable, so you have to live with it. (3) The 75-page user's guide is often dense and confusing, and the type is so tiny that it's very hard to read.
Summary: There are no significant features in this timepiece that aren't available in less-expensive Casio watches, often with more detail (day, date, month display) and more convenient (alarm setting). That said, this is a very sexy watch and is sure to impress folks who don't know much about its innards.
Recommendation: If high-tech is the goal, not likely to find anything truly capable under $200. If convenience and timekeeping features are priority, there are better Casios at a lower price. This watch makes too many compromises for the sake of looks.
I bought this for my husband. The watch is very comfortable, precise, and sophisticated looking. He has had it for a few months now and has nothing but good things to say.
I was momentarily pleased with this watch when it arrived from Amazon. It was solid, and the movement was very nice. It had a good feel and seemed to be well constructed. It was larger than I imagined it would be. I'm making the assumption that I would have liked the watch a lot.
However, the Casio Box was torn open, the watch was scratched, the band was worn and soiled, and there was hair clinging to the watch. Obviously, someone had worn it for quite some time, returned it, and the vendor decided to just ship it out again.
I didn't bother to make an exchange - I was so disappointed with the sale that I took my refund and my business elsewhere.
