Casio WVA430J-1 Reviews

buy a simple watch

Unless you can decipher incredibly poor instructions or have a degree in physics avoid this watch. The watch is supposed to receive a time signal from Colorado but the time was set for mountain time zone and it will not change to eastern time zone. Unless I want to subtract an hour each time I look at the watch I cannot use it. I now believe that if you need a new watch get the simplest watch that just tells the correct time and forget the rest of the other useless junk that some watches add. I think you can get a reliable mens' watch for $25 to $35.

Class and Functionality

I love the look and function of this watch. When I first received it I was concerned about the fact that it hadn't synchronized with the atomic clock since September of last year and that the solar battery was low. I was frustrated at first trying to manually sync with the atomic clock, but the key to both this and the battery is to leave the watch in your window overnight. It will automatically adjust itself overnight, and the early morning light charges the battery like gangbusters.

Lots of functionality, and a battery charged by the sun, coupled with a precise clock- can't beat it.

Pretty good

Bought the WVA430J-1 as a replacement for my old, scratched Casio digital atomic watch. The new WVA430J-1 watch is handsome to see and keeps perfect time. I check it with my computer which is adjusted automatically and the WVA430J-1 has been in sync to the exact second. I did use Casio technical support @ 800-435-7732 (press 5 for watches) to set the watch. Very helpful and friendly. Some of the features I am still learning but, so far, it is a beauty.

The watch works as advertised. The manual is very small and the translation isn't always easy to follow. Changing from Kanji to English for the day name was a challenge.

No other complaints.
