CasioWave Ceptor Solar - Multiband 6 Men's Watch WVQ-M410B-1AJF (Japan Import)

This is a great watch! Despite the fact that it is complicated to get figured out, once you do, it is really nice. It is solar, and atomic, so no battery per se to replace for years and year, plus it sets itself daily (I leave on the inside of my bedroom window at night), and the best part is that it looks dressy and tech like, while still being a reasonably priced watch. Also, as a Japanese import, it isn't a common watch here in the US. So, for a great timepiece, that sets itself each night, is solar powered, and comes with a very reasonable price, you should consider this.My wife just sent her watch, from the big "M" back for a battery replacement, and besides the $25 shipping and insurance, and the $65 for the battery replacement and return shipping, for that battery replacement, it is 2/3 the price of this. This won't need any service from the factory for years and years....in that time, I'm sure her watch will have to go back a few times for battery replacements.

Out of the box, it's a very stylish but rugged looking watch..As far as looks go it is a 10...THEN comes trying to adjust it to my time zone and choose DST..The instructions are a wee bit vague , but with some effort and re-reading the directions--I THINK I got it programmed..Looks and features make it worth the price to me..

Nice looking and well made watch, but here in New England it has to be manually set because the time signal is too weak to work with this watch. I probably would now buy a different type of wave-ceptor after knowing all the details.

A fancy watch without the fancy price. I've owned many Casio watches, from an old school calculator watch to a big burly G-Shock Tough Solar, which was my first watch that received a signal from WWVB. Setting a watch is not a difficult task, but it's nice to not have to really worry about anything (after initial set-up), just put it on and go. The watch is also very stylish and easily pairs with dressier outfits.This Wave Ceptor watch mixes radio-controlled technology and classic analog looks. This particular model is advertised as being imported from Japan, though sadly isn't 100% Japanese-made, like the old school Casios. Regardless, it is a great watch The user's manual that came with this watch is printed only in Japanese, but the seller includes a little card that explains how to download the english version of the user's manual ( or you can just as easily look up Casio module 5174). This watch also features an alarm and stopwatch, but I doubt I'll ever use those functions. The crystal is poly-carbonate instead of glass, and with daily use, has developed some light scratches, but you really have to be looking for them to actually see them. This wristwatch is powered by exposure to just about any light source, be it sunlight, fluorescent, etc., and will conserve power (though will still keep exact time) by entering a kind of "sleep mode" when idle for a certain amount of time, like when you lay it on a dresser or nightstand, for example.The initial set-up of this watch up is tricky, though once I figured out the programming sequence, it was fairly smooth sailing from there. I live a little over 500 miles east of the WWVB antenna array in Ft. Collins, CO, and this watch receives the nightly synchronization signal just fine.

Could not have made it more complicated to operate, even with the English manual. Just a stupid watch. Maybe it's my old eyes but I can't read any of the nonsense they have posted around the outside to set the time zone. I hate it and it's listed on Ebay if you want it for cheap.But it looks nice. So does my Skagen and Rolex but I don't hate them.I've been wearing a simpler waveceptor for nigh on 5 years now, so I know how good they can be. This one isn't.

I see a lot of reviews saying that the watch is difficult to setup. I must admit that it is difficult to configure it without instructions, but a quick google search took me to the correct manual for this particular model. After I found the manual, setting up the watch was easy.My only gripe with the watch is that I haven’t yet been able to get the watch to do a successful radio reception. I have a citizen watch that is also radio controlled, it updated last night with no problem.Considering the functionality of the watch, and the fact that it is solar powered and radio controlled, for an analog watch the price is not that bad. I’d buy it again. Well done Casio
