 a litle cheap looking February 27, 2010

The watch functions well disregarding the obvious flaw of having to remove the watch to let it get to ambient temperature. It just looks a little on the cheap side. looks more like a $20 watch rather than one that costs nearly $50.

Works fairly well. We like the compass feature. The temperature gauge does not work that well.(affected by body temp) Keeps correct time and the band is comfortable.
 Great Watch for the Right Expectations February 5, 2010

I ordered this watch for my 20th birthday, and it's been 11 days that I've worn it so far. I love it. Here's my review:
Casio's SGW100-1V (Sports Gear Watch 100-1V), offers an above-average set of capabilities for its price range. I bought this watch for its high water resistance, sleek-rugged design, its 10yr. non-solar battery, and water-blue accents on the face. Also, it just looks sexy in person. I can never stop staring at it.
The Watch band is made of a sturdy, pliable, resin in Black color, fits snugly around the wrist and is comfortable to wear. Usually, I wear my watch bands all the way to the bottom of the wrist, but the face of the watch is almost two inches and there is some restriction with the dial when I move my hand up and down. So I had to wear this a little above where I like to have my watches. However, because the watch doesn't move around, it can stay there all the time without re-adjusting at all. It looks a lot better there anyway.
The Dial or Watch face is slim, but pretty wide across. The case is 1.87 inches in diameter and 1.32 centimeters (or about a 1/2 inch) thick. It might sound big, but it's really slim to wear. It doesn't look bulky like the G-shocks, but it's got the same rugged accents to go with it. Six top dial screws add durability, protection, and an asthetic element to the face. The watch is extremely easy to read while wet or dry, thanks to its clear display and face size. The numbers and letterings are crisp and clear in any light. The dial also has a teal colored backlight that illuminates the digits and characters only, instead of the whole face, which makes identification easy on the eyes at night. Don't expect to use the light in place of a flashlight though, because it lights for approximately one second (timed using the watch) and is not bright enough for anything else. Also, the light is electro-luminescent and its power and duration will diminish when the battery becomes too low signaling that it's time to replace.
The watch's main features include the "Twin Sensor", compass-thermometer device functions. Readings are displayed digitally as an arrow and degree for direction and degrees in F or C for temerature. They last for 10 seconds before going blank and returning to the Timekeeping Mode by default.
Neither of the two sensors are as accurate as their authentic instruments. The Twin Sensor does give average, general readings. However, that is to be expected given that the watch is to be worn and not always situated perfectly horizontal. The instruction manual does provide that "The measurement functions built into this watch are not intended for use in taking measurements that require professional or industrial precision." Some drawbacks in calibration include that the compass be re-calibrated every 3 months for accuracy (reccomended) and that the watch must sit for 30 minutes when being re-calibrated for temperature to acclamate to the surrounding air. It takes readings while on the wrist though, so I don't know what people are saying about taking the watch off every time to measure temperature or direction. It works on the wrist.
What I like about the watch though is the 200M water resistance. Standard Casio depth. Not that I'm going to be going that far down, but it's a nice ensurance.
Without hard suits or sub-marine vehicles, a safe diving limit for humans is around 200M. 300M and below, being the hazardous limit. So, as with the Casio G-shocks, where the watch will survive as much G's (acceleration due to gravity) taken as the human body can accept, Casio also provides the deepest limit the human body can safely endure under pressure of water.
Like all of the other Casio wathces, it's got the basic setup of funtionalities for Local Time, Date/Day, World Time, Stopwatch, Timer, and an Alarm which boasts a set of four different alarms, an hourly alarm setting, and an optional snooze timer. You have the adjustment button on the top left, Light buttion on the top right, Mode on bottom-left, and Comp (computer for compass and thermometer readings) on the bottom right.
So for under 50 bucks, the Casio SGW100-1V offers a variety of funtionality, a solid construction, and clean design elements. The watch is perfect for surfing. It's not heavy, but light on the hand and easy-to-read, good solid watch. Just be sure to replace the battery. As with all watches, it's reccomended that you know what you're getting to get the most for your money. With this watch, I got all I wanted/needed, so that's why I rated 5/5 stars. Thanks for reading, hope this helps.

I went through a lot of research before buying this watch for my brother. It is a good Digital sports watch. It is stylish and comfortable and has very useful functions. It is simple to use as well. The temperature sensor and compass are pretty accurate and the dual time displays and world time are awesome. My brother loved the watch.
Countdown Timer isn't full featured. Thermometer is of little value. December 11, 2009

Nice watch overall for the price but I returned it. I didn't want or need the thermometer vs. wanting the compass, as I can't really see that the thermometer would be of any practical value to me. The compass works well and can use declination input.
The size of the watch is good, some of the displays are a bit too small for me. I liked the various alarms and a 2nd time zone. But the Countdown Timer which I wanted to use A LOT, can ONLY be set in full minutes, not portions of minutes. This was the deal breaker for me after trying to work with full minutes only, but which changed my exercise routine too much. The manual is not clear on this as it does say that the timer can be changed to count down from 1 minute to 23 hrs 59 minutes, so I thought that would include all the seconds in between as well.
Otherwise for the price it's a better watch than many out there.
