Casio Women's Daily Alarm Digital Watch #LA670WA-1

Product Description

The quartz-powered casio Women's Daily Alarm Digital Watch #LA670WA-1 brings a retro edge to your look. It features a digital-gray dial face with a black background, encased in a sturdy mineral dial window. An easy-to-read time-display format and handy perpetual calendar function ensures your time-telling convenience. Both the silver-tone stationary bezel and 25-millimeter case are made of high-quality stainless steel, and the matching stainless steel band is accompanied by a steadfast fold-over-clasp closure. This affordable, precise timepiece is versatile enough for everyday wear.

I have had this watch for about 14+ years. Naturally, the battery has been replaced a few times.

Since the band is not expansion, I found a one that looks very nice on the watch. Check Wal-Mart for bands. Sometimes they have them and other times they don't.

No, it doesn't have a light. If it did you would need to replace the battery much more often so that is not a feature I look for.

Both Energizer and Maxell make battery #365 that is a perfect replacement for the 1116 that is VERY hard to find anymore. Other brands may also have this #365.

My wrist is rather small so this watch is an ideal sized digital for me.

I have the exact opposite issue with the clasp that the below reviewer has -- my clasp snaps shut and stays shut! I have to get a screwdriver to pry it open to remove it because my fingernails are just not strong enough, and I have strong nails. I've been wearing it off-and-on for three months -- maybe it will be easier to open with the passage of time.

Also, I don't understand why there would be an impression that the band was expansion-type; the description states that there is a clasp and it is the fold-over type. But maybe they recently changed the description.

Otherwise, I agree completely with A. Rogers' review: this is a great watch. With all the timer features, it is indispensible for a mom. Compared to all the other watches out there with all these timer features, this one is NOT clunky-looking at all. I would call it sleek, in fact. Most watches with these features are big, thick, sporty-Ironman-looking watches, but not this one. I wear the version with the plastic band for everyday, and I wear this metallic one for dressier occasions.

The only drawback to this watch (aside from the tight clasp which will hopefully loosen a bit) is the fact that it doesn't have a light. I don't know the technology; maybe adding a light would make it thick and clunky since most lighted watches are clunky-looking.

As stated, this is a hard-working little watch for everyday use, and it lasts a long time although you won't be passing it along to your grandkids. Buy this watch -- for all the features and the great price, you won't be disappointed.

This is a very functional watch. The instant countdown timer on the watch can be set by just pressing a button on the watch. For 1 mins, press once, 5 mins press twice, etc etc. Theres not too many watch on the market with this type of function. The isntant countdown timer is quick and handy which you can set while in motion - for example when jogging or walking and not having to stop to set the timer. This feature is the only reason I've purchased this watch. The watch itself is very plain looking, and in the past I've owned 5 of these watches over the past 15 years. This is the first watch of this type I've purchased with metal band. I can't really wear the same watch which comes with the rubber type of watch band for a long period of time since it makes my skin itch but I do not have problem with the metal band. This metal watch band is ridiculously long. My wrist is an average size. The metal watch band is not one which can be easily shorten by yourself. Moving the catch on one side of the band can easily shorten one side of the watch band, but to shorten the other side by trying to remove the metal link is puzzeling. I've emailed Casio tech support for instruction but the instruction they emailed back to me seem to apply to other different type of watch bands which was not helpful. Because the metal link on the watch band can not be easily remove like other watch bands, I give them 4 stars rating instead of 5 stars. It'l be a trip for me to a watch shop and then I have to spend $10 to $15 extra just to shorten the watch band. The watch itself is a very good simple watch. I just wished it came with instruction on shortening the watch band and wished it had a built in light within it.

The watch lives up to it's reputation of easy setting alarm. I agree the clasp is weak and comes undone. Would be nice to have multiple alarms but the easy reset keeps me on time for meetings.

I am a homeschooling mother of six and grandmother or 4. The countdown timer and alarm on this watch is what keeps bringing me back. I now have one each in black, gold, and stainless steel. I hope they will make a red one and my set will be complete!

I have had about 5 versions of this same watch over the last 12 or so years. I LOVE the countdown timer feature for everything from baking to napping to walking to getting out the door. I know it won't last long if it is true to form, but I will always buy a new one if I can. This is far more attractive than the ones I have bought at retail outlets which had vinyl bands and all-black faces. I don't understand the people who say the band clasp doesn't work well. Works fine for me. At the price, three years of use is a good buy.

This is a great watch at a great price. I'm on my third one in 20 years. True it doesn't last forever, but what do you want at this price?

I love the easy-to-use digital features, especially the countdown timer. I use it all the time for cooking or time-outs for the kids, or to remind myself that I really need to leave in 5 minutes!

Last time my hubby changed the battery he messed up the water-proof gasket so now I need a new one.

I agree with others that the included watchband isn't the greatest. That's why I only gave 4 stars. Long ago I bought a stretch band and now just swap it out.

Casio, please never stop making this watch. But consider changing the band to a stretch one. That would make this watch truly perfect.

Customer Buzz
The product arrived rapidly and was what we ordered. However, the watch band has never stayed clasped. We've taken it to two watch shops and said "we don't work on Casios." We said it was just the band and they turned up their nose. Obviously, we won't be shopping at those shops again. Too much hassle and expense to return this item considering the cost, so we're looking to replace the band already--which will cost more than the watch.

Customer Buzz
Why Amazon didn't point out that they have the exact same watch listed under another description for $5 less I have no idea. It makes an otherwise fine purchase leave you feeling ripped off.

Customer Buzz
Love this watch. It's hard to find a non-sport watch with a digital display, not to mention one with an adjustable strap. The strap might be a challenge to adjust if you're not familiar with the type, but the clasp is sturdy - it's never fallen off once. The only con is that it doesn't have a light-up display.
