CasioWave Ceptor Illuminator Multi Band Watch

This is such a good watch alongside many many other great offerings from Casio. The size and shape and details make it look good for a lot of situations not too big not too many ornamental elements. Of course, the wave receptor radio is a very nice feature as is the world time. Illumination works well, not as hard to set or set up as some suggested pretty easy, especially with the guidance online. It’s built very rugged probably the most rugged non-G-Shock Casio I’ve seen. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall look and function, especially in tan. Highly recommended great value.

Casio continues to amaze me with value for what you get. For the price, this watch defies G-Shocks by leaps and bounds. Not too long ago, you’d have to be well above $100 to get a watch that has atomic timekeeping, and you still do with many brands. This sub $40 watch therefore is a steal. Like others have said, read the instructions. It’s not hard to set up if you are remotely familiar with Casio watches. In the middle of the night, it will re-sync itself to the exact time and you won’t even notice. Aesthetics are great too. I love the desert sand color of the band with black trim on the case, which is not too big and it’s not small - perfect size. The digits are very legible. The date is a little small but who cares. The backlight is really great too and has a nice orange/amber glow that stays on for a couple seconds after you tap the button. This watch has moved itself to the top of my daily rotation….highly recommend.

Another classic Casio that does as Casios do - work. Some reviewers claim that you can't set the time yourself on these if it can't receive the atomic radio signal. Wrong. You just turn off the receiver in settings from "auto" to "off" and set the watch like any other. People need to learn to read the directions, or, at least, watch a YouTube video, on how to run the watch before leaving negative reviews. So far it's a great, inexpensive timepiece that keeps exact time.Pros: It's tough200 meter water resistantAtomic auto setting - easy to force receiving.Easy controlsWorld timeShows day of week, month, and time on screen all at once.Easy to hear beeper (that can be muted easily).Inexpensive to own while always keeping perfect time.Light is good and bright.Easy on / off day light saving.Cons:Can't think of any.One of my first watches 40 years ago was a Casio W750 Marlin that I used for scuba diving. Casios were cool then and are still cool now. And yes, that old watch still runs perfectly and has only had 2 battery changes in all that time. Casio's a name you can trust and I'm sure this watch will run just fine for years to come.

Great looking & well made watch. I like the olive green/ brown color and silver bezel. It's rare to find an auto update watch for such a cheap price. The only slight complaint I have is that the day/date display is quite small and it can be difficult to quickly read. One of my favorite watches in my collection.

Casio has been a mainstay of mine since the beginning of the digital watch's 2nd generation when I acquired one that attempted to measure the temperature c.1987! For the following reasons:1. Myriad models from the minimalist basic day/time & year that were characteristic of the first-generation digital models from 1978-85 to my favorite; a Gold metal-colored crystal & band that stored 300 names and numbers( a veritable gigolo's "little black book" or a feature a spook could use in case he/she desired a Houdinian Escape!) via a calculator keyboard that could be used as a calculator in its own right, A World Time dossier that included my hometown, Philadelphia, PA as one of the cities! 😎! Indeed, Casio watches are amply appointed with a cornucopia of capabilities and colors which is part of the reason why I still invest my moolah in them rather than the hyper-hyped ballyhooed "smartwatch"!of all the models brought in the 45 years, I've sported wristwatches(including a Casio Royale reboot, which weaned me off a Fossil smartwatch that died in June 2021) This WaveCeptor WV 200R-3A happens to be my first Atomic Synchronous Watch! I got it mostly due to owning a LaCrosse S84107 Weather Station that also Syncs up with the ⚛️🕰️ in Ft. Collins, Colorado. I got that one so that I could avoid the half-annual time switch our society has been engaged in since 1966! Nonetheless, my aforementioned Casio World Timer ended up being embarrassed by the weather station being always -16 seconds behind it, hence the acquisition of the WaveCeptor!2. The way that the WV200R-3A is designed as well as fabricated with the four screws buttressing a 🌋ic-like caldera in which the mineral glass display rests as well as the 660ft. water resistance gives me some surcease that much like the legendary, fabled, chimeric Timex timepieces; this will continue to be ticking as it resists taking a licking without it becoming as homely as the G-Shocks!It also helps that its hybrid plastic & combo brushed/polished stainless steel make this ⌚quite attractive while maintaining its brawny style.3. I like the tripartite structure of this watch which arranges its largess and prowess under a hierarchical order which enhances its efficiency! (And to other critics who bemoan this watch for being "too busy" to the point that the most inventive are exciting parts of the screen & bezel of whatever offends their esthetic!) 🥱, I opine, the "busier" the better for it makes a more captivating watch to watch & compelling gadget in the long term!4. Even though there is no way in the 🌎 I would be globe-hopping I don't consider it a waste of 💰💸 to settle for the cheaper straitened WV 58A model because being able to receive the time from 5 of the six ⚛️🕰️ is much better than downloading the signal from merely America & UK(Atherson) Au contraire, mon fere, that capability enhances it's steal of a deal, value for the 💶💰💳💷💵💴!I guess where Casio had to spare the expense & battery reserve is in the length of both the stopwatch & timer, confining the timing to 1hr. vs., 24 hrs. on the 🌏 ⏲️ and 100 hrs? on what arguably could have been 007's(Pierce Brosnan) watch! The model I had in the '90s mentioned earlier! Oh well, there goes timing a Thanksgiving Turkey!All in all, it's decently eclectic with enough accouterments to make ownership of this Casio WV200R-3A timepiece quite exhilarating as well as worth the bread spread to score it!
