o Smallish display - Being older, it's not always easy to read all the text, the time is fine but could be bigger and date is mostly readable, but everything else need 2x mag for me If solar power was not enough, this watchputs itself in power save mode (sleep mode) and shuts down the screen to save even more power. And even without power save mode or sun, it will still operate for 10 months straight (using it 18 hours a day). So really… don’t fear any power outage here! Perfect for free diving without scuba gear: the watch is water resistant up to 20 bar according to ISO 22810. This might be caused by exposure to a magnetic field. It can be solved by a demagnetisation process performed by a professional watchmaker. This watch houses the Casio module No. 3159. Of course, being based on a quartz movement, its accuracy is second to none (pun intended). The accuracy is± 15 seconds per month.

A world time function that allows you to know exactly which time it is in48 cities and 29 time zones. Why 29 you ask? Because it also takes into consideration “half time zones”, that you can find in Teheran, Dehli or Adelaide, to name a few.Everyone knows Casio's watches are reasonably priced, tough, reliable timepieces. The casio gw m5610 is no different. o Display Real Estate - This goes along with the "Busy Extraneous Text" If they got rid of the unneeded text they could increase the display area. I don't know if this band style is a Japanese-market thing, but I am not a fan of this flat band that doesn't have the "links" where the band attaches to the module. It looks bloated, and shapeless in comparison to the normal band. In the list of 48 cities (plus UTC), three cities have been changed. Miami, Toronto, and Santiago were sacrificed, while Kathmandu, Buenos Aires, and Fernando de Noronha were added. Here the first and last are the most important because they led to the availability of two additional time zones. Katmandu lives at GMT +5 3/4 of an hour, and Fernando de Noronha at GMT -2 hours. Both time zones were not available in the old module and made the total number of different time zones grow to 31 in the new one.

Whether in Europe, North America and Japan or in the outer reaches of Canada, Central America and China – once the watch has been set to the local time, it receives the relevant signal and shows the correct time wherever you are. In many countries, it also sets itself automatically to summer and winter time. You’ll wake up every morning to a watch that is perfectly accurate to the second. Throw in the fact that is watch is solar-powered, meaning that the solar panels located around the dial provide energy to the rechargeable battery housed in the watch, and you have a perfect grab and go piece that will just never let you down. Ever. Invisible solar cells in the watch convert light into energy and supply all functions. A rechargeable battery provides the necessary capacity for operation in poor light conditions.The feature of permanent displaying the home time sacrificed the stopwatch somewhat. It still runs to a maximum of 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds, but the old module offered 1/100 of a second for the full maximum duration of the stopwatch. With the new module, 1/100 of a second is only available for the first hour (59′ 59” 99”’), thereafter the maximum accuracy is one second. For me, the permanent availability of the time in the display is way more usable. Alarms and Timer To make it simple, I consider being part of the inner dial everything that is part of the module itself (every indication of the LCD) whereas the outer dial is located between the module and the bezel.

Functions 12 hours counter / 24 hours counter / Alarm / date / day date / hour / Minute / second / Stop-second / Timer months on rechargeable battery (operation period with normal use without exposure to light after charge) The button tones for using the mode button can be turned off. This means that the watch no longer beeps when switching from one function to another. Preset alarm or countdown timers remain active when the button tones are deactivated. Is it unique?– in the sense that it has its own vibe going on, or has a very distinctive feature or design element.Radio-controlled Watch; Multi band 6 (additional way for time sync. This watch receives time calibration radio signals that keep the displayed time accurate) Is it clear?– it should be easy to “get” the design and to read the time. Here, some watches with a crowded dial can still qualify if the design is perfect.
