CasioFishing Timer Quartz Watch with Resin Strap

The Casio Men's Fishing Timer Quartz Watch with Resin Strap is a versatile and practical timepiece, especially for those who enjoy outdoor activities like fishing. The watch features a durable resin strap that is both comfortable and resistant to wear and tear, making it ideal for rugged use. Its fishing timer function is particularly useful, providing data on the best times to fish based on lunar movements.Additionally, the watch is water-resistant, which is crucial for any fishing expedition. The quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping, and the watch also includes other useful features such as an alarm, stopwatch, and LED light for visibility in low-light conditions. Overall, this watch offers excellent value for its price, combining functionality and durability with a sporty design.

I really liked the watch, in fact, like all the Casios I have, they are excellent, the best brand in terms of cost-benefit. Affordable, resistant and long-lasting...

This thing isn't a G-Shock but it is very close in terms of design. The only thing I see that could be a problem is scratching the glass due to them not having a bevel on this watchface.Following the manual made the watch easy to setup with a quick google search for UTC and Longitude.The moon phase is cool to haveThe fish radar is absolutely sweet on a watch. Please don't expect this to be perfect in its accuracy. It seems to give you a good idea of when the fish will be biting based on moon phase and time of day. I just think it's cool to see all the fish on the radar.The green color is very OD military like.Dude for the price it really is a steal.I've worn in to the lake swimming, fishing, bathing, showering no problems with water proofing.Good watch, buy one.

This watch is based on a fishing concept known as "SoLunar Theory". I am not speaking to the efficacy of this concept beyond how it is implemented on this watch, if you want to know more, search the afore words in quotes.It functions very similar to Casio's other 4-button digital watches, very similar to their G-Shock models. One of the "mode" screens is the Fish/Moon screen and that is the central point of this watch, I will return to this later. In the standard timekeeping mode two aspects of the display communicate unique elements beyond Time/date/day-of-week. One is a moon-phase indicator that mimics the visible face of the moon from earth with new moon|waxing crescent|first quarter|waxing gibbous|full moon|waning gibbous|third quarter|waning crescent as the possible display states. Above this is a funny radar-like display that displays at any time 1 of 5 different levels of fish activity that is derived from the SoLunar Theory. This tells you at what time of day, per day, fish activity is suspected to be locally maximal as per this theory. The radar display is full of fish when all the "stars-align" so to speak, indicates no fish when nothing is "aligned", and 3 intermediate levels within this range of SoLunar alignment.Some anglers swear by this method; my wife swears by her horoscopes. The reason I bought this watch is because it does exactly what it says it will do, and, behind the scenes (if you care to examine SoLunar literature), it is simply communicating the phase of the moon (cool) and also whether the tide is low or high (moon rising/setting or at zenith/nadir) (cool). I thought these features were fun. In principle, using only information from this watch, you can point at roughly where the moon is in the sky and report its illumination at any given time even if you were in an underground bunker, provided you had an idea which way north was (and your longitude, it will ask for your longitude when you set it in order to calculate your local apparent moon position, or tidal force... or fish activity or whatever).The Fish/Moon screen focuses the watch's display on it core features, the Adjust button toggling between the Fish (tide) and Moon (phase) modes.Moon-mode allows one to step through the days one by one starting from the current date and it reports the age of the moon phase in days with the accompanying graphic. You can not cycle in reverse (this can be frustrating) so not only can you not see the phase for previous days, you can not look at days you've already searched past. If today was 10/13 and I wanted to see what the moon phase is on Halloween (10/31) I step through until I reach it and see that it is a Full Moon (spooky). Then I remember my friend's birthday is on 10/26 so I want to see that moon phase too, as I skipped past it. I need to cycle through all the screens again to get back to the Fish/Moon screen to reset the starting point to today's date and then step back through to 10/26, annoying but doable. However I can not (as far as I know) see the moon phase for, say, 10/5 of this year.Fish-mode instead searches through the current day hour by hour (this is the minimum resolution) and in the "radar" part of the display, indicates fish activity. Similarly, you can not step backwards, but whereas the moon calendar goes on seemingly forever, the Fish indicator only shows hours of the day as selected in the Moon-mode (the current day if you have just switched to the screen) so it's only a matter of looping back to the hour you want in the 24-hr range. As noted before this screen is equivalent information as to the current tide/moon position, the moon phase also is equivalent to tidal strength (spring/neap).In short, this watch indicates all the information about the timing of the tides, convoluted by a theory regarding fish activity. It gets 4-stars because of a little clumsiness in the relevant menus and I don't like the strap and how it feels; it could just be my wrist though.

My wife bought me this watch and I was a littleHesitant on how it works at first, but man! What a cool watch. You can plug in the date, time, your time zone, and your longitude and it will give you a graph reading on the activity of the fish near you based on the phase of the moon! How cool and clever is that? It truly works as well! Great product!

Outstanding Product!

Nice

It may have a battery, but I doubt the band will last very long. It feels more like a cheep quality child's watch. Compared to another watch I have of the same brand I found this was a lot cheaper made and a lot more difficult to set the time on. The 10 year battery was the main selling point for me, but given that I doubt the band will last a year or two if I'm lucky it makes the long battery life pointless so I would not recommend this watch.
