5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value for the Money, June 5, 2006

This review is from: Casio Men's VQ201HSGA-2AV Waveceptor Atomic Watch (Watch)

I bought my first Wave Ceptor several years ago. I got a good deal on it but the plastic band broke about a year ago and it is designed so it could not be replaced unless you sent it back to Casio. I learned from that one. These watches keep perfect time and this band is REPLACABLE. The looks of this watch are terrific with the gold ring around the blue field. Yes, it only has the day displayed, but if you become familiar with the buttons, you can find all of the other information. Besides, if you don't know the month and the year, you need more help then this watch can give you. This is a great deal on this watch. Almost half price. I am happy.

Your Friend,

4.0 out of 5 stars Great watch for the price, January 11, 2007

This review is from: Casio Men's VQ201HSGA-2AV Waveceptor Atomic Watch (Watch)

I came across this watch on a Friday sale at well over half off, a great price. The features were more than adequate for telling time; dead on accuracy, plus date and day. I figured setting the watch couldn't be too difficult, there are only two buttons, so I purchased it with a gift card, totally painless.

The watch arrived a few days later and I had it programmed easily within 5 or 10 minutes. The watch band is pretty long so I had to remove a link from each side to fit, no special tools are needed. While traveling, setting the time zones is easy as city codes around the world are listed on the back. The wave ceptor function works fine in Boston and in Europe.

I usually wear more expensive watches than this, but this one looks great, much better than in the picture. The specs say it has a metal case, but it doesn't. It has resin buttons, case, and back, but with some metal cladding. The band is all metal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice, December 27, 2007

This review is from: Casio Men's VQ201HSGA-2AV Waveceptor Atomic Watch (Watch)

Think of this as an extremely accurate, sweep second hand, day/date wristwatch. No more. No less. It is appropriate for business casual dress. A very nice watch, at an excellent price.

It synchronizes readily next to a window generally facing the radio source (in the US, that's Colorado). It can be adjusted to synchronize for pretty much any time zone, but not IN any time zone. You must be in North America or Great Britain, or otherwise within range of the radio time signal.

The case is thick - about 15mm or 5/8". But the watch is proportioned well and makes a good appearance. The watch band is huge! I had a jeweler remove 2 links ($3), rather than break it myself. You may be able to DIY.

It is not a diver's watch. It's not a sports watch. It not a "chronograph." It does not have a stop watch function of any type, nor a dual time function.

It is a keeper.
