About CASIO Men's FT-500WC-5BVCF Forester Sport Watch
Overall Feedback:
95% positive
89% liked the lightweight feel
The watch is lightweight and suitable for men who work/play in hard conditions without worrying about a more expensive watch.
90% found it waterproof
I wear the watch while swimming and in the shower as it is waterproof.
I have used the watch in situations where it got soaked and it kept on ticking because it is waterproof.
I have tested this watch by showering and swimming with it several times and it is truly waterproof with no moisture getting in.
93% liked the easy-to-read display, but 7% found it hard to read in low light
In the dark, the watch face light up feature works well and the time is easy to read.
I like the readable face and backlit feature of the watch, which is handy in the dark.
I find the watch difficult to read without reading glasses because of the light-colored panel on the minute hand.
I appreciated the retro styling of the watch face and found it easy to read. However, I deducted a star because the actual readable face is only 30mm, despite the description saying the case is 41mm.
95% found it durable
I am confident that the strap will last longer than the more common 'resin' straps which only last for about two years or so.
I have been wearing and using my Casio Forester watch every day for 21 years, proving its durability.
I work outside and bang around a lot, but I've never had an issue with this durable watch.
92% found it comfortable to wear
I find the watch comfortable to wear without any slipping or sliding around my wrist. The velcro works great and allows me to quickly find a comfortable tightness.
