Casio Men Analog Quartz Watch with Nylon Strap FT500WC-3BVCF

Product Information

I love how smooth the finish feels and the fact it does not leave marks or perspiration on the skin. Timex also included luminous compound on the hour and minute hands, so you can get a general idea of the time without pressing the button at all. I'm happy with it except it's a real battery hog (consistently less than two years, and I'm not big on alarms at all). This, along my passion for beating the snot out of budget gear, got me thinking: Just how much abuse could these two hiking-themed watches take? Now that you’ve finished reading my Casio Forester review, I believe that you’re now much more knowledgeable about this series.

Any man looking for durable, reliable, and accurate timekeeping will find this piece worth every cent. Although the timepiece is basic and simple to operate, you still get some easy-to-understand instructions.

I've seen a newer version of the all-black model with a more energy-saving light, like in the 10 year models. I had an Expedition ana-digi at one time but was disappointed to learn that it was base metal not stainless steel, kind of turned me off Timex to be honest.

Their plastic cases, Velcro straps, and simple layouts don’t exactly scream “rugged” or “all-terrain endurance” like a Victorinox or G-Shock. But the Camper, with its slightly more compact packaging and impressive night light, proved to be every bit as rugged as the Casio. I let the pair dry off for around 2 minutes, to the point where the metal case-backs were noticeably hot to the touch. I guess the misconception must stem from the fact that the caseback states "Stainless steel" when it should be "Stainless steel back" if what you're saying is correct. Wish more of the Gshocks had standard spring bars; I'd own one if they made a standard lugs/spring bar G with MIP display.Having owned a number of wristwatches, I do admit that this one ranks among the most reliable and accurate pieces. Nevertheless, it strong enough to protect the black dial, silver-tone hands, and precise Japanese quartz movement.

People who want a reliable, high-quality, and durable watch but don’t want to spend a lot won’t mind this piece.

Despite my best efforts to bring them down, the Forester and Camper were still ticking by the time we reached the end. I used to love watches like this when I was not yet a WIS, but for me, G-Shock was a game changer and I was completely won over by all the functional advantages for not very much money in absolute terms. Come join the discussion about watch collections, displays, watch winders, accessories, classifieds, and more!One of my three 106's has been around a bit, showing wear on the edges of the case and in the pin holes, and there's nothing but stainless steel. The Forester’s orange LED remains on for 3 seconds before fading out, while the Camper lights up the dial itself. And as a big fan of Casio, I truly believe that you won’t be disappointed if you stick to this series, instead incite enthusiasm for watches in the longer run. The Duro line emphasizes water resistance (even the harder to find chronograph has 200M WR) and none of the models I've seen have anything but full stainless cases.

These timepieces, inspired by the classic design of the DW5600 from G-SHOCK actually have an octagonal case shape and button guards that prevent accidental operation. They’re the budget king for a reason, and their non-G-Shock timepieces have proven to be incredibly reliable.This was more of a feeling-out process, to help me get an idea of which had the more comfortable ride.

Anyway, I replaced the Expedition with a Casio AMW-320R, which I believe to be all stainless steel, but I might be wrong.
