Casio A1100D-1EF Montre

A great alternative to the generic watches. A conversation starter for sure. It does the date and has a stopwatch functions and a decent backlight. It will not show 24 hour time and does not have a lap setting stopwatch function. In daily use I rarely need to know 24 hour format and I can't remember when I last needed a lap timer so no issue for me. This is a watch that is a great alternative to the generic digital, analogue or smart watch. The case is stainless steel as is the bracelet. The clear face is mineral glass so is harder to scratch and more robust than acrylic plastic. The front function buttons are unusual these days and are easy to use. Backlight works very well. Case feels solid and the finish is very good. I have no issues with the bracelet pulling hair but then I'm not as hairy as a grizzly bear.

If you are into Casio digital watches then this watch is a must ! The finishing on the all stainless steel case is a really good combination of brushing and polishing combined with a mineral glass face take this watch to a different level compared to most Casio watches. The brushing continues onto the bracelet that really catches the light well, it's similar to a "Beads of Rice" design. The clasp is a fold over deployment type with three micro adjust holes which helps to get a better fit on your wrist. Backlight is ok and does illuminate the whole screen with an orange glow that lasts about two seconds per press. Fairly basic functions on this watch including: Time, Alarm, Stopwatch, and Setting screen, and that's it ! Battery is CR1616 and should last approx 3-4 yrs alarm and light usage dependent. Bracelet adjustment can be tricky as it uses "L" shaped push pins but fairly easy to do yourself ( there are plenty of U-Tube video's showing you how ) This watch has a snap on case back and there fore it's only water resistant so I would advise not to get it wet !!! Now the main downside is price, at around the £100-£120 is this watch worth it ? Overall I think it is, but if don't want to spend that much then look at the Casio A100WE-1A which sells for around the £50 mark and uses exactly the same (3503) module inside, although the case is only plastic with a chrome effect finish. If you're also thinking about the Tissot "PRX" digital at around the £300 mark then I would seriously consider this A1100D as an alternative ! One last point this watch only operates in 12hr format i.e. AM and PM so no option to change to 24hr display ! Hope this review helps !

A nice quality stainless steel watch from Casio. NOT resin like some of the other models. Costs a bit more than most models , but well worth it. The buttons on the face instead of the sides work well. Should last a long time .

I’ve owned a few Casio digital watches over the years, and this is by far the best. Most of their “steel” watches have a plastic case that is simply chrome plated, but this is made of solid stainless steel. You can feel the difference. The quality is much higher than you normally see from Casio, and I can tell this watch will last a long time. It looks great and functions well.

I've owned a lot of Casio's over the years from the cheap F91w to G-Shocks, Edifice and Lineage. This is by far my favourite. It's not perfect, the bracelet pulls hairs occasionally and for the price a sapphire crystal would have been appreciated but I wear it daily. It looks cool and retro plus because of the size it's very comfortable. I tend to wear it on a leather strap for all day comfort.

Ok

arrived promptly, beautiful watch and the looks did not disappoint, easy to set and kind of took me back to the good old eighties when setting it. However when I tried to change the strap it became evident that the dimensions stated 22mm but was actually 20mm. so wasted money on a strap that will not fit. bear this in mind if you like to personalise your watch. Other than that its a sweet watch.

Liked the watch - part of my reason for buying it was because it had a solid stainless steel case (not resin), and a mineral glass over the display (rather than plastic), and that it had a backlight so I would be able to see the time when I woke up in the dark in bed (my analogue watch doesn't have luminous hands and I don't use alarms). Some Casio's backlighting isn't wonderful, but this one is okay. Only trouble was that I hadn't figured out that I'd need my glasses on to be able to see the digits, so, er, guess I messed up on that one! Back to the drawing board (luminous analogue, here I come!) Strap way too long for my 7 inch diameter wrist, but easily adjustable if you know how. The strap pins on this cannot be removed by an extractor tool. It requires brute force, but precisely applied, then it's easy. Take my word for it, the best way I found after much experiment with tiny screwdrivers, bradawls, etc., was, believe it or not, the end point of a cork-screw - worked perfectly! (can find how to adjust this type of strap on youtube). Item delivered before date due and is the genuine item, not some cheapo copy.

Das hat CASIO gut gemacht, gerade diese Uhr als Vintage-Modell komplett in Edelstahl herzustellen. Tolles Teil, so wirkt sie noch futuristischer als die Uhr von damals, die noch produziert wird. Ja, die Datum-Anzeige hat 2 x 12 Stunden und nicht 1 x 24 - damit bin ich groß geworden, in meiner Kindheit gab es nur analoge Uhren (die mit den Zeigern). Und nachmittags war es 5 Uhr und nicht 17 Uhr. Schwerer ist sie auch, aber dafür hat sie ein gutes Edelstahl-Gehäuse. An einem schönen Natur-Leder-, Kautschuk- oder Nato-Band deckt sie noch mehr Tragemöglichkeiten ab. - Wirklich lesen kann ich sie ohne Lesebrille nicht. Aber das ist egal, dann guck ich eben aufs Handy. - Aber die Uhr ist sooooo schön. Ich glaube nicht, dass Casio dieses Vintage-Modell im Programm behält. Also, wer schlau ist, der schnappt sich eine. Nachtrag: Das Armband zu kürzen erfordert keine Kraft, sondern Geschick. Weiche Unterlage auf den Tisch legen und auf Youtube Videos suchen mit dem Titel "SEIKO Armband kürzen". Die Seiko-Bänder (Seiko 5) sind baugleich und das Kürzen ist genau so fummelig. Man muss nur einen Mini-Schraubendreher "richtig" ansetzen und mit gefühlvoller Hebelbewegung den Stift rausschieben. Nachtrag: Diese Uhr gab es doch schon in den 80ern in Edelstahl.

I purchased the Casio A1100D-1EF because I wanted a simple, reliable watch with a vintage style, and it has been an excellent choice. The stainless steel band feels sturdy without being heavy, and the brushed finish gives it a clean, timeless look that works well for both casual and work outfits. The digital display is crisp, easy to read, and has that classic Casio charm. The functions are straightforward and dependable. The buttons respond well, the backlight is bright enough for low light, and the timekeeping has been perfectly accurate since the day I set it. The clasp feels secure, and the overall build quality is better than expected for the price. It is comfortable for all-day wear and sits nicely on the wrist without shifting. This is a great everyday watch if you enjoy minimalist vintage styling and reliable performance. It looks sharp, wears comfortably, and feels like a piece that will last for years. I am very pleased with it and would happily recommend it.

The stainless case and buttons are high quality. The simplistic display makes reading the time easier compared to more cluttered displays. Buttons were claimed to be "mushy" in some youtube reviews, which I interpreted as low quality but this is incorrect. Buttons just have longer travel and softer springs compared to regular casio watches. Another youtube complain regarding newer casio displays are their poor contrast when looking perpendicularly into the display. This is not an entirely accurate complaint. Older casios had poor viewing angles, and this display has excellent viewing angles. The display is also polarized, minimizing reflections. The stainless steel band is good quality, but pulls hairs. The led light has a pleasant yellow-orange color and evenly lits the display. The main fault with this watch is the poor timing accuracy of +24 seconds/month.

Vengo de un Casio con carcasa de resina me a durado unos 8 años , motivo se a partido la carcasa! E optado por este al ser todo de acero inoxidable. Me parece ligero, robusto y tiene ese aspecto del Casio de toda vida! Estoy encantado con la compra!

Bello! Casio vintage fra i pochi costruito interamente in metallo, ha un sistema a 4 pulsanti frontali, sottilissimo e portatile
