Casio Men's G-Shock Ana-Digi Chronograph Sport Watch #AW590-1A

Product Description

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.

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.


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.


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.


This watch is the perfect watch for me. I like to fish and ski and go 4 wheeling. I needed a watch that could stand up to a bumpy, dusty and/or wet environment and not cost a fortune. It has met and gone beyond those requirements. The subdials are easy to read and the set-up was easy following the instructions provided. I like the metal buttons that control the subdial modes as opposed to similar gshocks that have the rubber tabs. The watch is large enough to read it easily, but not so large that it feels and looks like you're wearing a brick on your wrist. So far it has been very accurate, but i've only owned it a couple of months. I have recommended this watch to friends and coworkers.


This watch looks a lot better than the pictures on either Amazon's website, or on the Casio website. The watch hands are in a sharp-looking metallic, and the case, while extremely sturdy, isn't quite as large as the photos would suggest. The band is softer and more comfortable than I thought it would be. I'm also impressed with the light. It's not Indiglo, but you can see the hands with no trouble. The settings are also very intuitive; you just have to read a few pages in the manual. I had everything set up in 10 minutes. I was considering not buying this watch, but I'm very glad I did. And at around $50.00 on Amazon, it's a great deal.


I got this G-shock chronograph sport watch because of my previous experience with Casio watches i own a club-G and i had no regrets so i have decided to try a 100% G-shock.
So far no complaints it's comfortable, stylish,light weight and not too thick, i hate to see someone wearing a watching looking like a power ranger radio on their wrist, this watch is great. I'll recomemend Casio any day laterz folks.


Great watch espec. for the price. But as typical for these types of multifunction watches, controls less than intuitive. I returned watch as the it was a bit to thick for my liking. But I would recommend it none the less.


I spent some time researching every G-Shock offered by Casio and narrowed it down to the AW590-1A for several reasons.

-> I prefer traditional battery over Tough Solar. I have read numerous negative reviews about the rechargable batteries giving out anywhere from 1-5 years and in the end are very difficult to replace.

-> This watch uses a larger CR1220 battery which Casio estimates will last about 3 years and is easily replaceable.

-> The AW590-1A uses round metal buttons, and not the cheaper rectangular plastic ones on some other G-Shocks, which can get "squeaky" and wear out.

Now on to the watch itself. You need to set the analog time separate from the digital, however they do sync up perfectly once both are set. The analog minute hand moves every 20 seconds and seems very refined.

The top led bar simply ticks off every 10 seconds while the left circle shows numeric seconds. The bottom circle shows whether certain functions are activated, like DST, alarm, snooze, hourly signal and split time in the stop watch function. The left circle does the most: in normal time mode it can be toggled to show month/date, day of the week or digital time. It has a nice resolution and also serves as the stopwatch and countdown timer.

World time is cool as only the left circle changes to show you the digital time in another time zone, while the analog stays in your home zone, allowing you to compare times instantly.

The watch has a whopping five separate alarms, one of which has a snooze function. I don't find the need to have that many alarms but some may find it useful. Countdown and stopwatch are nothing special, pretty much what you expect.

There is also an Auto LED feature which I find an unnecessary battery drainer. Once enabled, a quick upward motion of the wrist automatically causes the light to come on. I found that you can quite often set the light off unintentionally. Luckily you can disable this feature.

The physical dimensions of the watch are a good combination of form and function. The mineral crystal face is recessed nicely and protected well but still offers a clear view with a quick glance.

Overall I'm very pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend this watch to anyone who genuinely appreciates Casio's G-Shock line watches.
