Meet My (Real) First Casio: Forester

Intro

So I pretty much recently by calling the DW-290 my first Casio. As a matter of fact, I took my time to decide on that watch. Meanwhile, one decision was easy, and that was to pick up this Casio Forester as a beater watch that I could wear anywhere I wanted.

The Forester

This isn’t the most expensive watch out there, nor does it have all the features other watches have. However, just look at this thing! Can you make a watch look any better, especially at this price point? That legible dial with that amazingly attractive color scheme with a date window, a light function, and 100 meters of water resistance is just too much for such a tiny package.

Among the three choices of colors, I chose brown, which to me is the best one out of the three.

What it Isn’t

Now as it goes without saying, this watch isn’t nearly as full of features as the DW-290, but for what it provides, it puts a smile on my face every single time I wear it on my wrist.

A Small Issue

One issue with a watch like this can be trying to get it to change the date correctly on long or short months, and also at midnight instead of noon. This is a big departure from using a smartwatch that cannot possibly go wrong with its time and date feature, though you have to wait for minutes for it to start up after being turned OFF.

Conclusion

Overall, I’d say that I couldn’t have been happier with a watch as much as I have been with this Casio Forester. I’d even go on to say that these are probably the best 20 dollars I’ve spent on anything I remember.
