Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is my second Casio Waveceptor watch.(I bought the WVQ140BA-5B in December of 2008; it's a great watch, but a little too casual for business use.So the WVQ140BA-5B is now my sports/active/informal/at-home watch, and this WVQ600DCA-9AV is my everyday "office" watch.)
Casio is really on to something with this Waveceptor line.I seriously looked into the 'automatic' watches, because some people seem to think they're somehow better because they're associated with affluence and/or 'status'.Well, I want my watch to work for me--not me working for it!
The Casio Waveceptor line attempts to set itself to the national atomic clock up to 6 times a day; and as a result, it's absurdly accurate.Other people's watches offer a rough guesstimate at the time; the Waveceptor offers the *exact* time.Further...it's solar (and thus self-charging!)
So this watch charges itself (with regular use) and syncs itself with the atomic clock every night as I sleep?Sold!Zero maintenance.All I need to do is wear it...
Now--I do have 2 gripes (and thus it's 4 out of 5 star status).
1) This is not a watch.So don't pretend that it is one.This is a computer with an analog display.You tell the watch what to do with 4 buttons, and it talks back by pointing the second-hand at certain parts of the watch face.I consider myself more tech than most, and it took me about a day to figure out this watch.I could have *sworn* that I set my time-zone--but for whatever reason, it didn't take.So since I didn't properly set my time-zone, it didn't sync w/ the atomic clock.After a night's sleep, this reality finally dawned on me.
*So*...here are the two keys to getting the Waveceptors up and running.(1) Make sure you have the time-zone set; (2) Make sure that the watch hands are zero'd out at 12:00.Doing these should let it sync just fine.
My other gripe is that the watch is made to *look* like it has a rotating bezel, but it doesn't.Now--I know this watch has a timer...but using the bezel timer is just plain easier 99% of the time.Further, it makes it look cheap(er).Had Casio spent the extra 3 dollars in parts for a rotating bezel, it would have been a 5 star watch.And if Casio decides to make an attractive Waveceptor w/ a rotating bezel, I'll gladly buy it.
Overall...great watch.
