Casio Men's Waveceptor Atomic Sport Watch #WV58DA-1AV

This is a great watch for the price. It is no g-shock. It will not stand up to major physical abuse. But for [..] you cant go wrong.


The watch is a excellent buy. It works well and with its ability to sync to WWV it is very accurate. It even changed when daylight savings time changed.


This is my third WaveCeptor costing anywhere from $250 to this $35 version and they all have cheap fragile bracelets that break amazingly easily.

The bracelets are made of cheap metal and are just irritating enough but also they've never included "half links" to truly fit the watch for your wrist.

Because the bracelets are comprised of all single size links, it is nearly impossible to comfortably fit this watch since the single sized metal links will always leave a noticeable gap that lets the watch slide into and bang up your wrist bone, or you'll have to make it too tight and so uncomfortable it will begin to imprint itself into your skin.

The parts of the bracelet which seem to be most delicate are where the bracelet connects to the clasp since the cheap metal sides of those connecting links always weaken before breaking off and sometimes leaving sharp edges which have to be grinded off with a Dremel.

Since the bracelets are part of the antenna mechanism, it is impossible to replace the bracelet with an aftermarket or accessory bracelet you can buy for any other wristwatch at any retailer including Target and WalMart.

Casio seems to be in denial about this problem since when I've asked them about this while the watch is warrantied, they just insist I send in the entire watch and let them replace it with a refurbished model and they don't sell their unique replacement links and on some models won't even offer an entirely new bracelet.

They don't have online access to replacement parts, insisting you either email them or telephone them, after being on hold forever you end up trying to describe the broken watch link to someone who you have to wonder even knows what a wristwatch is because they seem incapable of even understanding the term "watch clasp".

I offered to email pictures of the watch, clasp and broken parts all assembled and disassembled and they refused to provide individual email addresses and just described a general shared inbox they can't guarantee they'd receive the attachments and I may have to respond to some rep over email despite the fact I've just spent 90 minutes over the phone with this guy !!!!

On some models, you have to buy an entirely new bracelet even if you just want to replace a few parts and can even describe them and get them to confirm which part you're mentioning while on the phone with their reps.


I purchased this watch as I needed an accurate watch for work. A watch that gave the absolute correct time. I've had such a watch in the past but it was a cheap looking plastic watch, keep accurate time though. This watch replaced that watch. Accurate is accurate and this watch qualifies in that regard. What I like about it is that it is a much nicer looking watch, metal case and nice metal band. It has all the basic function such as stop watch, countdown timer, alarms, etc. For an inexpensive accurate watch that doesn't look like it, this watch is a good deal.


I bought this watch for my dad who always has trouble setting the time. It automatically sets the time for him. The quality is typical Casio...crystal face, durable case and band. I love my Casio, this is my 3rd for my family.


Seems like a good watch but is kind of big. Also the strap is stiff and longer than what I need. Haven't used it much because of this.


I ordered this watch expecting to get what the site described and pictured -- a metal band. A resin banded watch arrived instead for the same price, so I send feedback and accepted a discount. I like the watch features, I was just hoping for a metal band.


I ordered the pictured stainless steel watch, was sent a plastic one, called amazon, was sent another plastic one and no one could resolve it. I returned the two plastic ones and moved on.

If you like inexpensive digital watches that keep time to the nearest second, you can't go wrong here. The great part is that you never have to set it as long as it can pick up the signal from the national atomic clock. A radar icon on the face shows that is doing so. The only drawback is that it comes with a very large band, which I had to take to a watch repair place and have shortened.


Watch was received fast and in excellent condition. It performs as advertised and is easy to use. I had a resin band before, which was hard to find a replacement for, which lead to purchasing the metal band watch.
