Casio Men's Classic Black Digital Watch #F91W-1


Casio F91W-1 Review:   A tried and true style great for casual wear, the Casio Classic black digital watch for men will help to ensure you won't miss another appointment again. It offers a daily alarm and hourly time signal (which can be turned off), as well as an auto-calendar function (pre-programmed until the year 2039). Additionally, it includes a stopwatch that can time events down to 1/100 of a second, and features a 60-minute capacity, split time, and 1st-2nd place times. The black resin case is matched to a gently tapered, nicely comfortable black resin strap. Other features include a ±30-second accuracy per month, micro light for low-light conditions, scratch-resistant mineral crystal, and water resistance to 50 meters (165 feet)--suitable for swimming but not for diving.

Seiko 5 Women's Automatic Self-Winding Watch Model SUAA31K
   Japan 21 Jewels Automatic Movement by Seiko (Calibre 4207)
   Stainless Steel Case and Band with Fold-Over Clasp
   Day/Date Display with Spanish Option, Luminous Hands and Markers, Hardlex Crystal for Durability
   Screwdown Caseback
   Water Resistant - 30M, Approximate case thickness: 10mm., Approximate case diameter: 27mm (including crown),25mm (excluding crown)


Seiko SUAA31K Review:   SEIKO 5 - the meaning of the "5" A great marketer had the idea in the 70ies: to be a SEIKO 5, the watch has to have the following 5 (five) attributes (thus the name SEIKO 5): 1. Automatic, 2. Water resistant, 3. Shock resistant, 4. Date, 5. Day. Please note that some SEIKO 5's are in fact SEIKO 4's, if the "Day" function is omitted, then the Caliber 7S25 is used. The only difference to the normally found 7S26 is the omission of the day wheel. Also re-issues of SEIKO 5 Sports often use the 7S36 caliber. Again the 7S36 is similar to the most popular 7S26, yet it features 23 Jewels as opposed to the 21 Jewels in the 7S26. Please note that all these movements beat at a rate of 21'600 bph (beats per hour) or 6 bps (beats per second). As a comparison, an ETA 2824-2 beats at 28'800 bph or 8 bps. A Miyota 82xx beats at 21'600 bph. Why do I mention these three movements? Because they are found in probably 80% of all inexpensive automatic wrist watches. A market share that is huge, yet challenged these days (2006) by an increasing share of inexpensive China Made automatic movements An automatic watch (also called a self-winding watch) is a mechanical watch, typically with a balance wheel escapement, whose mainspring is wound by the motion of the wearer's arm, instead of having to be wound manually every day. Whereas a quartz watch is powered by electricity, a mechanical watch is powered by a mainspring which must be rewound for the watch to keep time.

   Water resistant, tested to 30 meters/100 feet


Suunto X3HR Review:   The last thing you need during your training session is a heart rate monitor with more confusing features than all the James Bond watches combined. Although a spinning saw bezel would be cool, it's not exactly necessary. With a heart rate monitor, an altimeter, interval timers, and an eight-session memory, the Suunto X3HR Heart Rate Monitor gives you just what you need for a training run, bike ride, or hike. This training watch features an easy-to-read graphic heart rate display with your current heart rate and target zone, so you get a quick and complete view of your workout at a glance. The X3HR stores your ascent and descent levels, minimum and maximum heart rate, and training time, for up to eight separate sessions. What this watch doesn't have is a million confusing buttons, laser-tractor-beam capability, or grappling hook extensions.
