**Check out the other colors(all separate product listings), it comes in a red, black, silver or gold face, SEARCH> "Casio MW 600F" and they will all come up!** If you need a sporty looking timepiece that you don't want to babysit, guard and protect, then this is it! The size is perfect(not too big or too small) and it has a tasteful stylish sporty design that isn't too busy with detail. The date box is a good size and easy to see, plus the illuminated hands hold a good lasting charge off ambient light. The watch is very light in weight and has a super comfy resin band. I find this watch impossible to beat at its price point considering it's fit, finish and function. I am thankful that Casio has not discontinued this model and I have owned 4 of them in the last 10yrs or so(I usually lose them and just buy another!). I have swam with them a couple of times as well as inadvertently exposing them to water both fishing and working and I never had a condensation problem! (*the crystal does scratch easier than more expensive watches but you can't have everything!)THIS IS THE PERFECT BEATER, DISPOSABLE WATCH, AND SERVES IT'S ROLL IDEALLY FOR UNDER $25 JUST GET IT!

This watch arrived in the typical Casio packaging. The outer package was very easy to open with hands, no nails, no cutters, no hardware needed.The user manual is hiding at the bottom of the plastic watch tree. The user manual and the packaging too cover a lot of different Casio watches. You can find the model number at the bottom of the packaging, where the box is cut off. To cross reference the user manual, this watch is number 2719.To change the date, pull the crown slowly and carefully to the first position and roll the crown towards you. It changes days one by one.The mechanical date change assumes a 31-day month, so for the five months of the year that have less than 31 days, you have to manually fix the date. You can do it with the above technique, or just roll the time forward twice around the clock per day that you want to roll forward. I held off the review to verify this: the March 31 to April 1st transition happened automatically but the April 30 to May 1st transition did not happen automatically. In other words, the watch said "31" instead of "01". So the date must be changed manually for the five months that have less than 31 days. This may be a deal killer if you must have the date and do not want to manually fix it 5x per year.To change the time, pull the crown to the second (most outer) position and roll the crown backwards or forward to adjust.I had two Casio Men's MQ24-7B2 Analog Black Resin Strap Watch watches which I love for their simplicity, size and price. But within 2.5 years, both their straps broke and one of the batteries died. I was using them sequentially, not in parallel. As much as I love them, getting a new one or new parts every year seemed wasteful. Not necessarily the cost ($5 to $10) but wasting resources. So what drew me to this model is the promise of a 10 year battery. The MQ24s come with a standard 3 year battery promise. The strap on this one feels sturdier and is thicker than the MQ24 but only time will tell how long the strap and battery will last. I will try to update this after a couple of years.This is the MW600F which is available in multiple colors. There are also slightly different designs that are part of the MW600 series. Given that the date does not change automatically, this may turn off some people from getting the design with the date. Some of the other MW600 designs don't have a date. Just the time and nothing more!This watch has a crown and nothing else. No other buttons.So despite the date not being automatic, I am giving it five stars because of its price, simplicity, back to basics style, sturdier strap versus the MW24, and the promise of a ten year battery. Most of the MW600 series of watches are in the $15 to $20 range as of the review date.

If it’s good enough for Agent Maggie Bell, it’s good enough for me. This is a cute watch that fits just fine on my 6” wrist. I am female but like the slightly oversized look but I can definitely see how some some men would find this watch face too small for an average man’s wrist. Most men’s watches are far too big for me, but this one is perfect. It is lightweight, water resistant (good because I wash my hands constantly in healthcare) and it has a 10 yr battery. I’m happy so far.

I purchased this very inexpensive but gorgeous watch for myself. After buying Victorinox Swiss Army Field Women's Watch Rubber Sport Strap Date Feature and HOT RED Dial 24999 from another site (Amazon no longer carries it) only to discover that the band was too small, I couldn't send it back but I really do want it. By the time I get around to going to a jewelry store to have a band put on the battery will probably have worn out. This was a much less tiring fix to my dilemma. I absolutely LOVE this gorgeous watch. I don't care that it's a man's watch because it's just right for me! Oh, and the hands REALLY ARE luminescence at night. Makes me feel like a kid with a flashlight under the sheet looking at my new toy. Did I say I love my new watch, well I do. Wow, and a 10-year battery. It may outlast me. I hope not but in 10 years I will simply buy another one or whatever is the current thing then.I purchased a Casio Men's SGW100-1V Digital Compass Twin Sensor Sport Watch from Amazon last year for hubby and he is very pleased with it. The watches are VERY affordable!Update 11-05-14: I've purchased another one of these lovely watches for myself when the price went down recently. I will keep one in the car so that when I forget to put my watch on I will have one because the battery will be good for 10 years, even if it's only five years it's worth it.
