The start-up instructions for the Casio Waveceptor Solar Atomic watch (WV430DJ-1) were the most confusing I have ever experienced. Being a retired engineer, I thought setting up this watch to operate would be a snap but after playing around with it for over an hour I gave up and returned the item. I already have a solar watch (Citizen Eco-Drive) and wanted to try one that automatically adjusted the time the way my cell phone does. I wouldn't recommend this watch to anyone I wanted to keep as a friend.


My husband is enthralled with this watch. It DID take him 4 hours to program it because it does tricks to the MAXX! One suggestion: if you purchase this rascal, do yourself a favor and go on-line and download a full-sized manual on regular printer paper. He said looking at that itty-bitty manual for sooooo much information was way too difficult. The price is excellent and Casio has always made quality products.


In my life I owned many watches.I am watch dependent guy.Once happened to drop a watch for repair and in two hours I bought a new one because I couldn't stay with out watch.So I need watch.I owned many brand of watches.This one satisfied me the most.First because give the exactly time.Second of all I have no business to change the battery.It is nice looking(can be used at church and at work).
Definitely I will buy one the same in case I need one.So I highly recommend this watch to anybody who is like me.


Depending on how your Waveceptor is put together will determine if your watch is water resistant; My Waveceptor is not!!!

On the outside this watch is all metal, but that is where it ends. The four screws holding the stainless back on are anchored into a plastic casing on inside the watch. When my watch was made one of the screws must have been stripped allowing the back to let in moisture. I didn't send the watch in to get "fixed" and decided to dry the watch out myself. (Note: Had I sent the watch in for repair this may have been a three star review.) Well I've had to dry my watch out three times and can not wear it hiking as the sweat from my body will fog up the watch crystal.

Speaking of the crystal. I can understand why it is not made out of glass as it has to let through as much light as possible to charge the battery.

All in all this is a great timepiece. I just would not recommend you wear it near water or during any sports activities.

Basically I liked the look of the watch and it worked well. However the band was very thin and the case had a cheap look. Of course the price on the watch reflected that. I would recommend it for an everyday watch.


Very pleased with the watch's style and looks. It takes a lot of reading and experimenting to use all the functions. The instruction booklet is large in content and very small in print......hard to read. Overall I am very pleased with the watch.


Great watch, but only for US and Japan. It would be greater if it also received West Euro signals.


After looking for some time to replace a dress style Pulsar analog/digital watch, I bought this watch via Amazon.com. It has all the features (e.g., day-date, alarm, stop-watch, world time zone capability, etc.) one would expect in a modern electronic wrist watch. For the gadget addicted, it incorporates an automatic time setting capability via radio transmission from the atomic clock in Ft. Collins, Colorado (or a site in Japan). But, it's the design appearance and style that make this watch stand out.

The watch body is large enough to readily accommodate the required displays without being cumbersome and garish along the lines of so many such watches found today. The face includes iridescent hands and 5-minute markers which are hard to find these days. The chronometer style second ring is neatly located just under the bezel. The face is a unique combination of finely etched dark grey (which can look slightly bluish under some lighting conditions) and hidden solar recharging panel. The activation buttons are low profile and sleekly located in the usual quarter positions on the outer edge of the body. And, they don't consist of huge wheels, levers, cranks and other devices intended to impress the wearer/viewer with sheer obtrusive bulk. The band is a great combination of moderately sized rectangular links in brushed stainless steel flowing into a lightly grained steel extension area around the face. Very classy.

Okay, there are two downside issues with this watch. First, the instruction manual suffers from the usual written-in-Japan/China syndrome. Related information details are spread throughout the manual making it difficult to understand and accomplish certain basic tasks. The default abbreviation for the day of the week was in Japanese and I was able to change it to English as much by accident as by logic. Second, the band links give the appearance of being easy to remove/add for sizing. Not so. This link style is a relatively new configuration by Casio and there is no documentation in the manual to help guide you through the process. I did find two references online with instructions, but I haven't been able to relate them to my band design. Thus, the band is still oversized for my dainty wrist. I expect a jeweler will be able to figure it out.

All in all, this is a great watch with excellent features, layout, style and price. I assume it will hold up over time (sorry about that), thus reinforcing my early satisfaction.


Perfect watch but can be tricky to setup. No need to think about wearing it (like my automatic Rolex), or the battery running out or if it the correct time. Great watch!




I had one with a gold dial face WVA430A for 3 years and I have 3 complains.
1. Get one with crystal dial face if Casio has one. Otherwise, cover it up with a clear packaging tape to keep it from scratching and change the tape when it gets old.
2. the metal band (a two tone silver with gold stripes) has 2 non-stainless-steel parts (just adjacent to the watch body) which looked silvery metal for the first year but degraded to grey color now. It doesn't look so pretty.
It is a good band but requires a little skill to remove the extra links initially.
3. The synchronizing moment didn't work when I travelled in Europe or South America.
Otherwise, I would say it is a great watch for the money, worry free with its accuracy or battery charge.
