Casio Men's Classic Alarm Chronograph Shock Resistant Sport Watch #DW290-1V

Product Description

Perfect for your active lifestyle, this classic casio watch for men features a stopwatch and countdown timer. Featuring EL Backlight with Afterglow, this versatile timepiece makes it easy to check the time, day, date, and month--even in the dark. Powered by quartz movement, this chronograph sports watch is constructed with a black resin case, bezel, and band. Water resistant to 600 feet, you can take a shower or go diving worry-free.

I bought my DW290 about 2 1/2 years ago and though it looks a little battle scarred, it works great. I recommend it.


I love this watch. I bought this to use as a backup for my computer when diving. Nice big display, and the light stays on long enough for you to actually see the display. I have only had the watch a short time, but it has already been on about 25 dives, been thrown around in a gear bag, and used pretty hard. I'll let you know in 6 months, but this watch is great. Bulletproof!


Casio makes a solid watch that will lest 8-10 years. This is one of the basic levels with a decent price. The nymbers are big. illumination is good. Easy to use with date in both 12 and 24 hour, date, stop watch and alarm function.


Watch arrived quickly and was put to use. I own several G-shock and Ironman watches. This watch has good quality throughout. Probably my favorite part of it is the module which is the same as the G-Shock DW5600 series. In essence that means the watch displays the time in stopwatch and countdown timer mode. That is useful if you want to time something and stay aware of the time of day without having to push buttons to do it. The alarm also can be set to a particular day of the month or week at a specific time in addition to the normal ad hoc alarm functionality you'd expect. G-Shocks have a softer resin protecting the watch that is actually replaceable, but most people just buy new when the resin eventually starts to crumble. This watch has a hard plastic construction that seems like it will hold up well, though is not replaceable.

Now for the rest of you that just buy watches to wear and tell the time. This it does admirably. It's accurate and reliable. It's not too thick. Reasonably nice looking for a sporty watch. It doesn't look like a can of tuna on strap. (Yeah, Seiko folk, I'm talking to you) Can take a pounding or be worn under a dress shirt. Though there are those that think that's a fashion faux paux to do so. That's their backward view, not mine. This is a great watch for someone that works outdoors or needs a tough watch for sport or job and is a good watch for someone that wants a quality digital watch in general.


The legacy. The FBI director wears this same model. Search the net and you'll see. There are also photos of NASA divers wearing it as well. So it's definitely a watch that makes the grade.

Five stars for ruggedness, reliability, classic functionality and wearability. This is the Rolex Explorer of the digital world.


I have had this model of watch for over 10+years. I initally bought it for scuba diving, which it worked great at. It then survived multiple years in the military with no problems and working great. I actually bought two of them, and am now getting another as back up, just in case casio stops making them. Its not too big, like many of the Gshock ones, like wearing a hockey puck on your wrist. All the extra functions work great and the dial face is tough! My main one is all scratched up, but stil going strong. When you get this, not if!, make sure you get several extra straps sometime, as you will go through many of them before the watch ever dies. The only thing I guess is a minor concern is that when replacing the battery, they usually say they cannot guarentee the water reisitance after they open it, but I never have had an issue.

So do you, and everyone you know a favor, and get this watch! You'll never have to get another one again.


This is the only watch my husband has worn to work for years. We were happy to find it online, and the price was good, so we bought 2 of them.
