Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Casio AE-1600H

Owners widely praise the Casio AE-1600H for its large, legible digits and excellent readability, with many appreciating its comfortable strap and huge display. The watch is also noted for its 100m water resistance, 10-year battery life, and great value. Some owners find its accuracy exceeds expectations, while others criticize the lack of solar and atomic timekeeping, an acrylic crystal, and a thick case. One owner finds it strange that the watch lacks a function to display both timer and clock time simultaneously. Overall, owners rate the Casio AE-1600H highly for its exceptional visibility and value.

Farr + Swit B Sides Vol. 2 XL

The Farr + Swit B Sides Vol. 2 XL is a fun, affordable digital watch with a 41mm plastic case and a legible LCD screen, featuring basic functions like time, date, alarm, and stopwatch. Its "mix tape" artwork adds to the retro aesthetic, though the plastic case and screen are noted as relatively fragile. Some reviewers find the design derivative of earlier digital watches. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Farr + Swit B Sides Vol. 2 XL for its nostalgic digital fun and affordable price point.
