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.

Lovely watch face with a useful stopwatch, timer, and alarm. Very clear but I find the digital aspects to be slightly grey. The most annoying part is that the spot where the watch band connects to the main body isn't tapered like most Casios and so third-party watch bands look a bit weirder than they should.

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!

i am beyond stoked to see this reissue of my favorite 80’s casio watch, the ae-30. I had one back then, and i’ve purchased a few on ebay over the years—it is truly my favorite design. This reissue is fantastic, still a slim (flat profile), light, and has beautiful complications. The band is okay, but i will most likely replace it. The buttons are metal instead of the original model’s plastic buttons. Also note that the width for the band is less than 20mm, so if you plan to replace it, it’s not 20mm. The only negative i have is the WR level. it’s WR, but doesn’t seem to list a depth like the original model. I would have loved to have seen them ditch the natural light and use something like the green backlit glow, but that may just be my personal preference. However, right on, Casio, thanks for releasing my favorite watch again!

I love the clean look of the watch as well as the orange light. i work outside all day and i have not had any issues with the watch getting wet or dirty, its also a comfortable fit even for someone with larger wrists like myself.
