Casio Men’s G-Shock Ana-Digi Chronograph Sport Watch #AW590-1A
Casio Men’s G-Shock Ana-Digi Chronograph Sport Watch #AW590-1A
This Casio men’s watch features a dual display that has both the elegance of an analog watch and the functionality of a digital one. The stainless steel case has a protective silver-tone metal bezel. A red hours hand and a white minutes hand sweep around a black dial that has dashes for indexes while containing a digital display that allows for five daily alarms, a countdown timer, stopwatch, auto LED light, a calendar pre-programmed until 2099, and world time functionality with 29 time zones. A black resin band secures the watch to the wrist. The watch is water resistant to 660 feet (200 meters), and is covered by the manufacturer’s 1-year warranty.
User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Great all around watch
I’m a big fan of Casio’s analog-digital watches. I prefer the look of an analog but need the functionality of a digital for running in the 5 a.m. dark. I own another Casio analog-digital watch, the Casio Men’s Ana-Digi Electro-Luminescent Sport Watch #AQ160W-1BV, which is not a G-Shock, and the only issue I’ve ever had with it is the ease with which the crystal seems to scratch. So it would seem only natural I would replace it with a G-Shock: same basic functionality but a little beefier with better crystal protection.
As an everyday watch the AW590-1A is wonderful. It’s lightweight, not terribly huge (and I have smallish wrists), and the chronograph functions are super easy to read. I found the setup to be fairly easy, though it was identical to the other ana-digi. My only complaint is that I cannot use it for running at night. I thought that the light would be similar to the AQ160’s (the digital numbers light up against a dark screen–a reverse Indiglo), however the light is a small yellow LED right under the “Mode” button between the 7 and 8 markers. The hands themselves are luminescent, which is good because I can barely read them with the light, and forget the digital readouts.
That said, the aesthetics and features of this watch are so nice that unless I’m running in the dark this barely leaves my wrist.
5 Stars perfect!
The watch is great, looks better in real then in the picture. It’s a little bit smaller too.
5 Stars Best watch I hhave ever owned
I bought this watch while I was in basic training as the previous watch I owned (a cheap olive drab Timex) had been utterly destroyed. This watch saw me through the mud, grit, grime, and seemingly infinite punishment of 12 weeks at basic.
That was almost 8 months ago. I have a desk job now and it looks good enough for day to day wear. I wear it to the gym, hunting and shooting and I’m not exaggerating when I say it still looks and functions like it did when I got it. If it ever does go, I will surely get another model just like it.
1 Stars CASIO SERVICE - A COMPLETE FAIL
I have had such poor customer service from Casio after paying to have my G Shock repaired that it is now my mission to poorly rate EVERY G Shock until I get a response that ISN’T computer generated. LISTENING CASIO? I refuse to pay another $45 less than 1 month after paying you $45 to repair my watch.
4 Stars Casia G-Shock Ana-Digi watch - pretty nice
I’ve owned lots of Casio watches but this is my first analog version. It is certainly the most attractive one I’ve owned. It is a little harder, less intuitive, to set the first time, but not too bad once it’s set. I have some doubts about the longevity of the rubber case as the part overlooking the bezel looks delicate and likely to catch on something and rip off. I will give it a good test next week!
