CasioMQ24 Series | Quartz Analog Watch for Men | Water Resistant | Resin Case | Resin Band | Resin Glass | Three Hand Analog (HR, Min, SEC) | Classic Design | 3 Year Battery

THIS is how all watch faces should be! EASY to read!The MQ24-7B2, aka MQ24-7BLL, has simply perfect proportions of the numericals for ageing eyes, and is a joy to look at. This dirt-simple little watch is a dream work "beater", is light, smooth, light on the wrist, comfy, and stays out of the way! Too many "tough" watches are clunky and have spikes and protrusions that get in the way and get snagged everywhere, but not this one!The white-dial/black-hands contrast is exceptional, and makes it readable even in dim conditions. This 16 dollar watch is remarkably tough for not being a G-Shock, and I even wore it for a year in a hardware store job, where it got banged up with heavy garden wall-stones and heavy metal pieces. It also get drenched in hard garden-hose spray, packed in mud, washing hands, wearing it in the shower, and despite Casio claiming no depth rating, it never got a leak, so working around water I found not to be a problem!It is most importantly a seriously good time-keeper and gains only about 10 to 12 seconds per month!The "crystal" is tough plastic, and does scratch over time. This can be polished out with a thing called "Polywatch", and is well worth doing so. It may be a cheap watch, but is so good, I would find it a shame to toss it for any reason, and a new battery was well worth the few cents, when it ran out after about 4 years or so!The crystal catches no reflections from all over, because it is flat, and I actually found that all the fine scratches I collected made i even less reflective than it already was, helping to make this watch even better in all light conditions :)Like mentioned, I did polish the watch, and it looks a bit worn, and now has real character, with the crystal smooth and just fine with a fine pattern of microscopic fine lines in it, that actually reduce reflectivity!SIZEWISE:Don't even try to complain about this being some girl's or "unisex" watch, code speak by wannabe machos for nasty slurs.This classic Casio uses the old men's size of 35mm, the size used until the 80's, for watches worn as dress watches and in WW2 by tough guys, commandos, paratroopers, storm troopers, seals, etc. MOST were made in Switzerland and sold to all sides, Nazies and Allies!James Bond's first Rolex Submariner was a nowadays diminutive for a dive-watch 38mm size, thanks to the extra outside timer bezel requiring it to be bigger than 35mm, believe it or not!CONCLUSION:Youtube "influencers" have described this as "God Tier", because this watch does just everything so right.I don't do god-stuff, but I agree, that this is one of the greatest of all times, when it comes to simple and highly functional watches!ALSO: Casio's plastic straps are known to break after a few years (they DO break after 1 to 3 years!), and this one is worth a cheap 16mm NATO cloth strap you can buy in some places for 3 bucks, or an original replacement Casio strap, once that happens!

I'm very satisfied with this Casio MQ24 series watch. It has a minimalist design with a metallic finish that looks much more elegant than what you'd expect at this price point. It's lightweight, comfortable to wear all day, and pairs well with both casual and slightly more formal outfits.The build quality really surprised me. Everything works perfectly, and the movement is very accurate. I've been using it for almost a month now, and it hasn’t failed me once.The only thing I’d change —just a personal preference— is the case diameter (39 mm), since I like slightly larger watches on the wrist. Still, it looks good and doesn’t feel too small. I definitely recommend it for both men and women who want something practical, good-looking, and affordable.

After spending time with this watch, I've found it delivers exceptional value that far exceeds its modest price point.What immediately stands out is the incredible lightness of the MQ24. I often forget I'm even wearing a watch until I need to check the time. This featherweight design makes it perfect for all-day wear without any wrist fatigue.Comfort is another notable strength. The slim profile and flexible resin strap conform naturally to your wrist, avoiding the bulkiness that plagues many modern watches. Whether you're typing at a desk or engaged in physical activity, the MQ24 never interferes or causes irritation.The dial design deserves special praise for its clarity. Large, bold numerals stand out against the clean white face, making time-checking effortless with just a quick glance. This legibility is particularly valuable to my middle aged eyesight.Perhaps most impressive is the MQ24's accuracy. After two weeks of continuous wear, it remains precise to the second—a testament to Casio's reliable quartz movement technology. This level of precision in such an affordable package is truly remarkable. Speaking of affordability, the price point is perhaps the MQ24's most compelling feature. Available for about $15-$20, it delivers reliable timekeeping without straining your budget.The watch has also gained unexpected cultural significance as the timepiece of choice for the late great Pope Francis, who famously eschewed expensive watches for this humble Casio model. This papal endorsement highlights the watch's unpretentious charm and alignment with values of simplicity and practicality.In a world of increasingly complex smartwatches and luxury timepieces, the Casio MQ24 stands as a reminder that sometimes the most satisfying products are those that do one thing exceptionally well. It tells time accurately, feels comfortable, and won't break the bank—sometimes that's all you really need.

Really nice comfortable watch. Gotten a lot of compliments from peers (have a Seiko as well and most think this Casio watch is in the $100-$140 price range at first glance which I found interesting). Very lightweight and extremely versatile being the silver/chrome I went with. Goes well with casual to business casual.Only downside to this watch is if you have any hair on your arm it will yank at it. I actually don’t have harry arms but it’s very subtle hair barely noticeable, yet it still pulls on my arm hairs and can get uncomfortable at times.Other than that, very nice watch, great accuracy, easy to set up to current time, etc… would recommend.

I’ve been kind of obsessed with gold accessories ever since I got married but the price of gold has been popping off with this administration. I was relieved to find that the model of watch I like has a gold version. I have already been wearing other versions of this watch for over a year and am happy to own this clean looking gold version. The band of the gold version latches and is made up of links that might pinch me unlike the other versions but it still feels pretty comfy.
