 Great all-around watchApr 15, 2008
I bought 2 of these when local WM was clearing this model out. I have owned digital, analog and digi/ana. The reason I bought 2 was, besides liking the style, had 2 concerns about durability. One was the plastic band. I usually try to stick with metal bands because I have a habit of catching bands on things and breaking them (or the pins that hold them.) That's why I generally buy inexpensive watches for work so I can just buy another when the band breaks. The second concern was that the face is made of plastic and has no bands or raised ridges for protection. I figured that, even if the band held up, I would have the face pretty scratched up in no time.
I'm happy to report that after more than a year, the wristband and pins are very solid and flexible. Also the face, even though it does have a few small scratches, still looks so good that I don't feel uncomfortable wearing it "out on the town."
I used the telememo feature a couple of times in the beginning, but it's a little time-consuming so I wouldn't recommend buying the watch on the basis of that feature. I have used the world time feature on a couple of trips and it's pretty handy. The countdown timer is awesome for everything from cooking to remembering to turn off the sprinklers. I had that feature on a couple of G-Shocks I've owned and it's hard to realize the convenience of not having to check a stopwatch 1000 times while you're waiting on something to complete if you've never had one. I shower in it almost every day and have been swimming with it many times, and the face has never fogged up. The backlight surprised me at first, in that it lights up the analog part of the watch and not the digital readout, but I quickly got used to that.
Overall, it's a great watch. It's very accurate and durable, as I've sort of come to expect from Casio. I'm also happy with the fairly neutral styling that's welcomed in most any situation. If you're looking for bling, you must have missed the picture on the way to this review lol. I have a Movado for that, but don't use it as much as I used to since I got this Casio.
I almost forgot to mention that the 2nd AW80-7AV I bought is still in the original package, which boasts a 10-year battery life, so it should be ready to take over when I need it to.
 Excellent for priceMar 22, 2008
for 18 bucks this watch fits my expectations,
pros:
looks good for any occasion
date display
world time
stopwatch
world time
10 year battery
waterproof to 50 meters(165 feet)
cons:
backlight illuminator is weak and lasts too short to see the time
no second hand
If not for the two cons I would give it a 5 star rating
I love the world time setting. One cool feature is that you can leave a timezone in the little window. So if your relative is in Rome on vacation you can leave Rome in the window and you can just look down to see the time in Rome. and the alarm works perfectly
it is waterproof to 50 meters, you can take it in the swimming pool and to test it i submerged it in my bathroom sink for ten minutes and it still works
really do like it and i have received compliments on it

Great productJan 02, 2008
I wanted an inexpensive yet attractive watch. This one fits the bill. It was easy to set the time and date. I prefer the resin type bands as they don't irritate my skin and in the summer I can loosen it a little to prevent sweat buildup. I like having the watch hands to see the time and then having the day and date are extremely helpful for me on the job.
Nice Casual WatchDec 31, 2007
I have received compliments on this watch, it is very hansom and is a great looking casual watch. I rarely wear my expensive Seiko except when I've got to dress up, I wear this watch almost every day. This is my second Casio watch of this style, I had to replace the first only because the band broke, cost for a new band was $8.00, cost for a new watch $14.00, it was a no-brainer.

Very good watchSep 29, 2007
My previous Casio analog / digital watch was wearing out. Its digital screen was so tiny that it was nearly unreadable.
This watch met and exceeded my expectations. It is easy to set and operate. I like its non-gaudy and stylish appearance. It's digital display is easy to read. The promise that it could run for 10 years without adjustment based upon its perpetual calendar and lithium battery is also attractive.
There are minor problems, but they don't really detract from the overall rating (5 stars).
- If you insist on checking the time in the dark several times a day, the battery won't last the full 10 years. (The 10 years is based upon one 1.5 second check per day.)
- The rated accuracy of +/- 30 seconds per month is not so great, but I'm expecting it will exceed that as my last Casio watch did.
- One can only go forward, not backward when setting the analog time, which means that if you overshoot the time, you have to watch the minute hand go 'round again almost 12 times.
- There is no second hand.
I wasn't expecting perfection for under $20; I am certainly very pleased.
