Review of CASIO Waveceptor Atomic Mens Black Analog-Digital Watch with a Resin Band. Model: WVA104HA-1AV

I purchased this watch under the assumption that either (1) I would have to manually set the watch hands in synchrony with the digital watch, which would updated automatically from the Fort Collins transmitter, or (2) The watch would automatically, correctly, synchronize the analog AND digital watches with the Fort Collins transmitter.

What I got was a watch that updates the digital from the Fort Collins transmitter, then "synchronizes" the analog watch... about 20 minutes behind the digital... repeatedly, regardless of time zone! And if that's not bad enough, I can find no way to manually set the watch hands apart from the CORRECTLY updated digital watch.

Let's see: an analog watch that permanently reads about 20 minutes behind and can't be correctly set. Perhaps the problem is limited just to the watch I received, but I'm returning it--and I don't plan on giving this Casio series another chance!

(Incidentally, the watch also arrived from WatchSavings without the customary plastic shield over the display to prevent scratching, without a Casio box, and with watch instructions that appear to be printed from a monochrome laser printer. I'll be rating WatchSavings after I return it and receive credit: if they take it back and refund shipping, I'll give them five stars.)
