Colorful and distinctly feminine, this Casio offers a digital display (that's backlit when needed) with large numbers and large quadrant keys housed in a cute, slim case. Other fashion highlights include a black resin band with a traditional buckle. Water resistant to 165 feet (50 meters), this watch also includes a 1/100 second stopwatch that can record split time, a fully automatic calendar (pre-programmed until the year 2099), an alarm, and a three-year battery.

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.

I've been teased "does that watch have a calculator", but then others have said "oh it's not as chunky as I thought it would be". This watch rests lightly and comfortably on my wrist. I like the band material which is smooth and non-irritating to my skin. The best part about this watch for me is the Dual Time since I'm using it for travel. The alarm feature will be useful and is a good back-up for my unreliable phone. It was a great price! I don't plan on buying another watch, so I hope this one lasts a while. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Why I Love This Black Casio Women's Pop Tone #LDF50-1CF Watch, November 12, 2009

I love my watch for a number of reasons.

1. The watch is sleek and chic, different in an understated, "European" way. I've gotten a lot of compliments.

2. It's very durable and functional. I work in an ER so I set it on 24 hr to make it easy to document entries on the ER chart. The day & date remind me where in the week I am. If I get anything on it, I just wash it off.

3. It's VERY reasoonably priced. If it ever breaks (which mine hasn't) it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to get a new one.

I am a young teen age boy so i do slow things some times and i did not see it was a girl watch until it got here and i saw how small it was O.O. But it still gets 5 stars because my mom LOVES it she wears it all the time and the buttons and set up is so easy she says it is idiot proof =P. Her friends like it too and she gets compliments all the time and it is a cool looking watch. Very small too so its not goofy and hits allot of things when you are walking.
