Fantastic digital watch AW02!
I don't really write very comprehensive reviews about products I purchased on Amazon, but I stumbled upon this watch and I was very impressed. As a watch collector myself, I'm very picky about the type of watches I buy and this one just cut the mustard for me. First, it's so well designed and stylish that it could easily rival any high-end brand-name watch out there (i.e. Suunto, etc.). In fact, this remind me of the Suunto I had a few years ago (minus all the heart monitoring features plus, of course). The display is sufficiently large that it becomes so simple just to take a peek from the distance and boom, you'll informed! This is good if you think you're like me not willing to wear the glasses just yet. And unlike other brand names (i.e., Casio, Timex), this watch's display shows exactly the basic info that you need on the main screen, like time (hours, minutes, seconds), as well as the date (day of the week on top and date at the bottom). I love the fact that it's so thin and it's strap comes with doubl

loops! How many times I wished for high-end brand name watch makes to include such "small" but important feature, but they didn't. In addition, check out the numerous features the AW02 comes packs with: alarm (with snooze mode!), stop watch, dual time (with independent hour/minute programming!), timer, and a 3-second delay light! Wow, this one chuck-full of features. And all these for an astonishing low price! I really can't believe a watch like this is selling for such a low price.
The one (perhaps negative) detail that caught my attention though is that fact that the seller touts this watch as "waterproof", but it's only rated at 5 ATM (50 mts.); as opposed to some or all of the other (much more important) features listed above, in my opinion. Also, on the back metallic cover they chose to print: "Japan battery"; instead of "Japan movement," for example. It might not have a Japanese movement, but how's a Japanese battery better than say, a battery from Indonesia or Malaysia? I don't know, but I think that their marketing dept. just dropped the ball there.
All in all, I'm very taken by this little "gem" I found on Amazon. I was originally looking for another Casio to replace my "old faithful" that just died after 10 straight years of service, but I'm so glad I stumbled upon this one instead. Time will tell, I guess, as to the durability of its materials and the reliability of its electronics, but so far, so great. So, if you're looking for an inexpensive digital watch that's stylish and packed with useful features, the AW02 Sport Watch will not disappoint!
