Casio’s Waveceptor Watch - Review & Giveaway

This next gift is a fantastic choice for the special guy on your Christmas list. The Waveceptor watch from Casio has a long list of impressive features including atomic timekeeping, 100M water resistance, stopwatch, 3 daily alarms, and a power-save option. It even automatically lights up in the dark! Here is a little more detailed info:

Tough Solar Power - This technology allows Waveceptor timepieces to energize themselves through even the lowest level of illumination; natural, solar or artificial light. Tough Solar Power fuels the battery with light from the sun as well as indoor sources, eliminating any worries of losing track of time. There is even a unique power saving function that allows the watch to “sleep” to conserve battery power when left in the dark for an extended period of time.

Multi-band 2 Atomic Timekeeping - Atomic Timekeeping, offering pinpoint accuracy, allows the watch to automatically receive time calibration signal updates on a daily basis from transmitters based on the user’s home city setting. This feature can be utilized in the US and Japan which allows for convenient timekeeping globally, and allows for synchronization during Daylight Saving Time.

I received a Waveceptor watch from Casio over a few weeks ago. My husband has been wearing it ever since and is thrilled with it. The band is extremely comfortable - the most comfortable he has ever worn. He is also impressed by how well it lights up in the dark, making it always easy to read. He also likes the stopwatch feature and the second time zone setting (especially helpful for anyone who travels a lot).

While looking for places to buy the Waveceptor online, I found out that Amazon.com currently has it on sale for 38% off (Original price $140, now only $87), PLUS for a limited time, receive a Casio Solar Handheld Calculator FREE when you purchase select Casio watches (including this one) direct from Amazon.com.
