| Casio watch suggestion please |
My Timex watch died a couple of weeks ago. At first, I thought it was just a matter of getting a new battery but, unfortunately, that didn't help. Looks like it's really dead. This is my second Timex in the last seven years. The first one started malfunctioning after a battery change - it would keep resetting itself on my runs. I'm now thinking of getting a new watch - most likely, a Casio. I checked out amazon.com and they have a lot of Casios. Just wondering if anyone here has had good experiences with a Casio and/or could give me a recommendation. Thanks, jobs ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com** |

Hi jobs, I also made the Timex - Casio transition. I wasn't looking for anything fancy - just basic laps and memory. I went for the 60 lap model (W-752)... inexpensive and functional. I've had it about a year with no complaints. It claims to have a 10-year battery, but I can't vouch for that.... Anthony. |

That's pretty much all I need - basic laps and memory. I checked the W-752 on amazon.com. Unfortunately, it's unavailable. Most of the other web links were to sites in Europe/Australia. However, amazon does have a W-753 that looks quite similar to the W-752. I might just go with that. Thanks again, jobs ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com** |

Thanks for the recommendation, Kaz. I'll check it out. Though, I don't think I'll be needing 500 lap memory anytime soon ;-) jobs ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com** |

What do you have against Timex ? I've had mine since 2002 ... Cheers, -- Elflord |
