CasioPOP Bio-Based Renewable Band LED Backlight Daily Alarm Digital Watch

I bought this because I owned a “liquid crystal analog” watch back in the early ‘80s, when they first came out, and the Casio website, while a little cheaper, was sold out at the time.It’s a unisex model, looks fine on any gender. It’s a bit small, smaller than most LCD watches from Casio, but that’s not a bad thing - you’d never confuse it for a G-Shock and it’s so light you might forget you’re wearing it. The strap is longer than one would expect from a small watch, so people with thick wrists will likely be fine with the factory-issued band - which is nice because the resin used to make it is “bio-based,” meaning no synthetics or petroleum products. It has all the basic features one would expect from a modern digital watch from Casio: local and world time, timer and stopwatch, 5 alarms and an hourly chime feature. The face is backlit and the LED it uses is bright enough to make it easy to read in total darkness.The closest thing I have to a complaint about it is that it’s rated as merely “water resistant” or WR. Per Casio’s definition, it’s fine for rain or splash resistance, but shouldn’t be submerged in water at any depth - not even sink-deep. I would have been happier if it was rated at least one step up, which is WR 50M (a.k.a. WR 5ATM), making it suitable for pool-depth swimming but nothing deeper.Footnote: 50M or 5ATM is 50 meters (54.68 yds.), but WR 50M is measured at static pressure, meaning the watch is immobile while tested in a tank that simulates that depth. Movement underwater ON THE WEARER’s wrist increases the force on the watertight seals, so a WR 50M/5ATM watch is not considered suitable for more than leisure swimming in fairly shallow depths, as opposed to open-water snorkeling, free diving or SCUBA diving. Most divers wouldn’t use anything less than WR 300M/30ATM.

I love this watch. I'm a line cook and I wear this watch every day at work. It's exposed to water, high heat, hot oil, grease, filth, and harsh cleaning chemicals. Despite all this, it works perfectly fine. I love the timer feature for cooking and use it constantly while working out. I've had other watches in the past, but I always end up abandoning them on my dresser because they're uncomfortable. Not this watch though. It's so lightweight and low-profile that I wear it all the time. It goes well with every outfit too. The alarm feature is also nice if I'm somewhere without an alarm clock. It's also helped me dramatically with my time-management skills too (don't rely on your phone; it's distracting and the battery is unreliable). I hope to have this watch for years and years to come. Maybe someday I'll finally be able to travel and then the world time feature will come in handy.

Watch looks great in white and the digital display contrasts nicely from it. Has a light which is a bit weak but it gets it done. Very slim profile on the wrist, not used to that but love it. Doesn’t get caught on or hit as many things as a beefier watch. As many others have said the only negative is the band, thin and feels like it may not last as you’d like but it does suit the watch size.

This watch is very cool and a real compliment getter.Loads of features, world time, multiple alarms, timer, stopwatch, good backlight.Am very pleased with it!It does however suffer from the screen issue all the latest Casios seem to have where the display looks dim head-on but crisp at an angle. But don't let that stop you!

I recently added the Casio LF-20 to my watch collection, and I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. The first thing that struck me was its size—it's smaller than it appears in the pictures, making it a perfect fit for my wrist. The slim design adds a touch of elegance, making it not just a timekeeping device but a stylish accessory.The grey color is incredibly neutral, allowing it to complement any outfit seamlessly. It's a versatile watch that effortlessly transitions from casual to formal settings. The minimalist aesthetic is on point, and I appreciate how it doesn't scream for attention but still manages to make a statement.Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Casio LF-20 boasts an impressive array of functions. From accurate timekeeping to additional features like [insert specific functions], it's a reliable companion for daily use. The watch's user-friendly interface makes it easy to navigate through the various functions, and the overall build quality exudes durability.Whether you're a seasoned watch collector or someone looking for a reliable and stylish timepiece, the Casio LF-20 is a hidden gem worth considering. It's a fantastic addition to any collection, and I'm already planning to explore more from the Casio lineup. Don't let its unassuming appearance fool you; this watch is a winner in both style and functionality. Highly recommended!

Unless you are looking for the smallest casio or a metallic one. This is the Casio to get. I don't like the casino AE1200WH-1A. It just looks off and is hard to read. This is a much better watch than the casio casino.The functionality is well thought out and the modes are easily comprehensible due to the notification tabs at the bottom of the screen. The world time function is much more usable vs the casino AE1200WH-1A, the analog home clock is very easily to desern on this POP. I didn't like the AE1200WH-1A analog home clock at all was too small and illegible. This is just perfect!There is nothing out of place on this watch it is the culmination of years of design. On my medium sized hand it is just wonderful. I don't like small analog watches at all, too feminine but digital watches suit the smaller form factor. Is very light and compact meant to be a lean mean tool attached to your wrist. I love the band it is very form fitting and pliable not stiff. The weight and strap makes you think there is nothing there at all.I do wish it came in silver metalic but oh well just going to buy another when it does.
