    I have this watch for more than one month. It looks great and the quality is excellent.

    Bought this at the same time as a Casio Databank DB35H model. I like this AQW101 “fishing” watch better and will be using it. Just wish it had the 5 alarms like the databank models…

    Pros:

    1) Face is much easier to read than the DB35H.

    2) The analog hands are nice to have. I find myself glacing at those and being able to read them quicker than the digital display at times.

    3) The moon and temperature things are nice novelty items :-)

    4) The buttons are easy to work with and so far, no problems with them getting hit by accident.

    5) The overall style and finish are excellent, especially for the price.

    6) The band is good quality (better than on the cheaper DB35H).

    Cons:

    None really, but if pressed:

    1) Its a bit on the big side. Not a problem unless you’re “small boned” – and even then, with the band, it conforms well to the wrist.

    2) The temperature measurement is modified by your body heat (about +10F)

    3) The analog hands sometime cover up the date/etc.

    Sorry – no clue on the fishing prediction accuracy ! :-)

    I like inexpensive sports watches. I can’t bring myself to wear a watch to impress, and can’t imagine wanting a fancy (and expensive) one. I’m like my dad: when it comes to watches I prefer function to form. I like the digital time, the digital timer and the stopwatch. Unlike my dad, however, who for several years (to my mother’s chagrin) wore a calculator watch everywhere he went (God rest his soul, I loved the man), I do like it to look good.

    I needed a new watch, and wanted to get one that had both a digital readout and hands. I’m not sure why such watches even exist, but I think they look good, and I’m really happy about this watch. I think it looks good on me, and fits well (and I’m a very tall guy, with big wrists) and it has all the functions I could ever want in a watch (timer, alarm and stopwatch, etc.) plus a few more (the compass dial is a fake, though, and this won’t give you directions). It reads temperature (though for that it’s only an accurate reading if you take it off, since body heat messes with it, though you can adjust for that if you like – I haven’t bothered). It shows you the phase of the moon, if you can believe that. But the real showstopper with this watch is the “good fishing” indicator, that varies between one fish and four: when all four leaping fish are lit up, that means (I guess) that you can’t miss. I haven’t tested the accuracy of its predictions yet and don’t know enough (or care) to adjust it. As it turns out, I was surprised by this feature (I guess I didn’t read the ad very clearly, mostly looked at the title and the picture, and the price was right and it looks nice). Still, I take some measure of confidence in knowing that if there were a global meltdown, and the local grocery stores were to run out of food, and if I ever got around to buying the proper gear, I’d then have a leg up on all the rest of the sorry sots who don’t have a fish predictor built into their watch.
