Amazon.com Product Description

Durable and strong yet distinctly feminine, the Casio Women's Tough Solar Ana-Digi Sport Watch #LCF30-2B is as fashionable. Solar powered, this Casio has no battery to change, and the watch's unique digital and analog black dial is versatile enough to pair well with business casual wear at the office or distressed denim for evenings on the town. Other fashion highlights include four buttons set along the watch's round bezel and a white resin band with traditional buckle. Water resistant to 165 feet (50 meters), this watch also includes a day and month calendar displayed in a digital format, as well as reliable Japanese quartz movement, a backlit digital display to tell time in the dark, and an alarm.

The Casio Story

With the launch of its first watch in November 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market.

In developing its own wristwatches Casio began with the basic question, ""What is a wristwatch?"" Rather than simply making a digital version of the conventional mechanical watch, we thought that the ideal wristwatch should be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way. Based on this, Casio was able to create a watch that displayed the precise time including the second, minute, hour, day, and month — not to mention a.m. or p.m., and the day of the week. It was the first watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that eliminated the need to reset the calendar due the variation in month length. Rather than using a conventional watch face and hands, a digital liquid crystal display was adopted to better show all the information. This culminated in the 1974 launch of the CASIOTRON, the world’s first digital watch with automatic calendar. The CASIOTRON won acclaim as a groundbreaking product that represented a complete departure from the conventional wristwatch.

Casio transformed the concept of the watch — from a mere timepiece to an information device for the wrist — and undertook product planning based on this innovative idea. We developed not only time functions such as global time zone watches, but also other radical new functions using Casio’s own digital technology, including calculator and dictionary functions, as well as a phonebook feature based on memory technology, and even a thermometer function using a built-in sensor. The memory-function watches became our DATA BANK product series, while the sensor watches developed into two unique Casio product lines of today: the Pathfinder series displaying altitude, atmospheric pressure, and compass readings.

In 1983, Casio launched the shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch. This product shattered the notion that a watch is a fragile piece of jewelry that needs to be handled with care, and was the result of Casio engineers taking on the challenge of creating the world’s toughest watch. Using a triple-protection design for the parts, module, and case, the G-SHOCK offered a radical new type of watch that was unaffected by strong impacts or shaking. Its practicality was immediately recognized, and its unique look, which embodied its functionality, became wildly popular, resulting in explosive sales in the early 1990s. The G-SHOCK soon adopted various new sensors, solar-powered radio-controlled technology (described below), and new materials for even better durability. By always employing the latest technology, and continuing to transcend conventional thinking about the watch, the G-SHOCK brand has become Casio’s flagship timepiece product.

Today, Casio is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, and the radio-controlled function means users never have to reset the time. In particular, the radio-controlled function represents a revolution in time-keeping technology similar to the impact created when mechanical watches gave way to quartz technology. Through the further development of high radio-wave sensitivity, miniaturization, and improved energy efficiency, Casio continues to produce a whole range of radio-controlled models.

The watch is nice, band is comfortable, but I ordered it primarily cause I wanted the light. I am over 40 and wear reading glasses, in a dark room or car I like to have a light on my watch to SEE IT! Anyway the light only lights up the little tiny half moon at the bottom instead of the whole watch.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not pleased, September 3, 2010

Saw this watch here on Amazon first, then at Sears for the same price. I ended up buying it at Sears. It was a little big when I bought it, but looked cool n' funky (I got the white, blue-faced one). I followed all the direction, and there were alot, to set up the watch, not simple to set the time. The directions said the watch would "hibernate" if batteries were low, which I experienced often. After about 5 months and it would hibernate at least once a day, even in direct sunlight. I like Casio but would not recommend this buying this watch!

I put it in shopping cart when it was priced at $40 , then oohlala it dropped to $18 by Christmas season. now I have been wearing it for 2 months and loving it! The band is bluish clear color and make the whole thing look less massive.the white looks sporty and it goes along with everyday casual wear really well. if you don't like the blue letters around the dial, don't worry about it. the paint falls out very easily after several shower or you can use a pin to facilitate the process.

the most thing I like about ana-digital watch is that I can use it to teach my son how to read a clock anytime anywhere !

there are some knacks you need to have get along with this watch though. I got into the " out of sync" trouble once like mentioned in some low rating reviews before I figure out what's going on. It supposed to auto sync every time you adjust the watch but the analog time stays 42 mins ahead of the digital time no matter how I adjusted it. Then I went back to casio.com and looked thru the manual. it turned out I might have mistakenly adjust the time under hand set"HS" mode which will lock in the time difference between the two displays. To fix the "out of sync" you just need to go back to " HS" mode to set it the analog display to match the digital display.Problem solved!
