Casio Running Watch : Casio Men's SGW200-1VCF Pedometer Resin Strap Watch
Casio is a world leader in digital watches. These days they have a dizzying array of models to choose from with different mixes of features. The G-Shock line is the most popular, however, some functionality can't be found in that line. Enter the Sgw200 Lap and distance model.
Casio's contact in digital watch production since the early 1980's gives this watch a astonishing patrimony behind it. Pretty much everything is well idea out. But, like any device with a function that needs human input to operate properly, there has to be a hand-operated to understand it. I did not like the enclosed manual, so I downloaded the one ready from the Casio website ([...]), which is a wee easier to follow. You just enter the module amount (3166) to get the right one.
I found the watch pretty strict on measuring distance traveled. But, you must make sure you capture your toddle correctly. The idea is to jog a known measured distance and count your steps along the way. You then divide the distance by your "steps" and you'll get your toddle value. This is what you'll input into the watch. So, it's based on your average. If you decide to "run" instead of "jog", your toddle may be slightly different and so the measurements will vary. But... In the grand scheme of things, it's a minor variation. However, with walking, your toddle is by all means; of course different. You may need to adjust it to get a proper measurement. Also, if you do not swing your arms much, it may not work at all. Ideally for walking, you are best off using a waist mounted pedometer. I haven't tried hooking this one to my waist to see... I'll have to give it a go and record back.
In other respects, this is a terrific watch. The wrist band is very comfortable (soft pliable plastic with silky texture). The numeral display is a good sized font. Also, I like how the time, date, and day are displayed simultaneously. And unlike most Lcd watches that have a backlight, this one has the numeral segments light up--much great incompatibility and easier to see. Over the time of a week, the watch gained 1 second. That's pretty darned good. Lastly, the alarm has a nice loud sound to it (unlike most digital watches). You've got 5 alarms you can set, where one of them operates like a snooze (it'll go off many times until you press a button). This is useful, because the alarm sounds for just 10 seconds, which may not be long sufficient for some people.
Funny thing... The whole fabricate looks similar to some of the G-Shock models (most popular and more expensive), so on a few occasions I've had habitancy ask me "Oh, is that a G-Shock?" Unless you legitimately beat up your watch, the G-Shock is probably more robust than you need. I picked this one up on sale at a big division store that had a Casio clearance going on. Still, the price being expensed by Amazon is darned good, especially since you don't have to pay for shipping.
