Casio Men's DW290-1V Classic Sport Watch, Black, DW-290-1V

Product Information

Admittedly, the overall design here is not the best we’ve seen from Casio, but it is not entirely horrid to look at either. This style will appeal to some, and not so much to others. The appearance, fit, features and most of the design of the DW291H are great. But I’ve never had to replace the battery of any watch I’ve owned at the 7 month point. The countdown timer is a plus for so many things. Casio puts only a stopwatch function in its cheaper watches and that just won’t do when grilling, baking, making tea or needing an alert for any ‘must notice now’ event. Both should be standard features and the 291H has both countdown and stopwatch style timers. There are 4 time zone ‘spaces’ you can preset to any of 48 cities in 31 time zones across the globe.

As far as style goes, however, it leaves much to be desired. While not really necessarily an ugly watch there are similar looking watches from Casio that are easier on the eyes.The same thing we have all done after yard work. Just jumping in the shower with the watch on and washing the watch with a washcloth to remove the dirt and sweat. After a few weekends of yard work and showers, I noticed the lettering was gone. Ah, the DW-290 - a real classic with a cult-like following on the forum :-d. I never wear mine but I also would never sell it :-d. Countdown start time setting range: 1 second to 24 hours (1-second increments, 1-minute increments and 1-hour increments)

With all that being said, let’s get into it! The first thing we are going to look at though is the specifications. In 1974, Casio released their first digital wristwatch, called the CASIOTRON. It was the first wristwatch in the world to include an automatic calendar function. [8] In 1977, they released a retro-futuristic wristwatch, called the F100. The watch was one of the first wristwatches in the world to be made primarily out of resin, making it very light compared to other companies' heavy metal-made watches and enabling future Casio watches to enter mass production more easily. [9] In 1989, Casio released another important wristwatch; the F-91W, the most sold wristwatch in the world with an annual production of 3 million units. [10] What we can conclude here is that this is yet another solid watch from Casio. In terms of build quality, and pricing, you get a pretty decent watch at a very affordable price. After seeing the electric calculators at the first Business Show in Ginza, Tokyo in 1949, Kashio and his younger brothers (Toshio, Kazuo, and Yukio) used their profits from the yubiwa pipe to develop their calculators. Most of the calculators at that time worked using gears and could be operated by hand using a crank or using a motor (see adding machine). In conclusion, the Seiko DW290-1V is a valuable tool for the garage. It’s a tough, Craftsman-like tool that does its job without too much fanfare, it looks decent and one can wear it in the shower after a day’s work in the garage. I think it’s an excellent value. If I were to lay it on the ground and accidentally run over it with the LeMans, I would replace it with the exact same watch.Casio was established as Kashio Seisakujo in April 1946 by Tadao Kashio [ ja] (1917–1993), an engineer specializing in fabrication technology. [1] Kashio's first major product was the yubiwa pipe, a finger ring that would hold a cigarette, allowing the wearer to smoke the cigarette down to its nub while also leaving the wearer's hands free. [5] Japan was impoverished immediately following World War II, so cigarettes were valuable, and the invention was a success.

I like it - although I must admit I never wear it - but many of my watches never get worn and I like them nonetheless :-d: I put it on the 5600 adapters, works ok. What could be used as spacers on each side of the adapter to keep it from sliding?

It is priced on the lowest pricing tier of watches. While it stops just shy of being a truly bargain bin priced watch, the price is low enough that it shouldn’t be a burden on anybody’s wallet. There are 2 other color variations. The 1AVCF with gray LCD, silver-gray bezel combo, and the 1BVEF with gray LCD, silver-gray bezel and a red surround panel under the crystal.

If you are looking for a good, inexpensive sports watch, and you like this style in particular, then yes, The Casio DW290 will work for you. I think the watch has a great, startling look to it, and I think I will get one sooner or later for myself. I really like how it is a real bargain, that makes for some lightheaded usage! Size: 50.5 x 50.4 x 13.5 millimeters (versus 48.9 x 42.8 x 13.4 for the DW-5600). Those who find the 5600 series too small may prefer this larger size. The larger size of this watch also means larger digits on the display. The watch also has bigger buttons that are operable with gloves. I was going to try a pencil eraser myself today -- the paint was a little stubborn on ONE of the four painted areas, so I had to rub harder, and now that one spot is a little shinier than the rest of the watch. Now that we’ve covered the basics, we can get into the depth of this review. The first aspect of this watch that we are going to look at is the build quality. Build Quality
