Budget Waveceptor Watches WV-58A and WV-58DA - In Depth Review

Recently I've posted watch reviews of some of Casio's radio controlled "atomic" watches, including several G-shock models with "tough solar" rechargeable batteries. Meanwhile, there are some less-costly watches from Casio which still have a lot of attractive features. In this video I'll focus particularly on the WV58A and WV58DA watches. I also briefly acknowledge other, very similar Casio watches. These are not G-shock watches and they don't have "tough solar" recharging, but they are still very interesting, budget watches that DO have radio controlled, atomic timekeeping. And you can easily find the watches in this video for prices ranging from just $27 all the way up to around $45. I consider those prices to be a tremendous bargain for what are very useful watches, especially for younger watch users.

The watches in this video use CR1620 batteries which will last about 3 years with normal use. The two watches featured the most in this video use Casio's module 3054. You can download the official manual for that module as a PDF from Casio's website.
