Today a review you voted for! This is yet another obscure but Uber cool looking Casio that looks like a prop from a 90's or 80's science fiction movies!
It is what I imagined a watch in the future will look like when I was growing up.
It is atomic but Multiband 5, meaning it can connect to all the towers in the world except China.
Sadly it's not solar so you will have to change the batteries every couple of years.
The screen is epic as usual with entry level Casios.
I will also be doing a detailed tutorial, so stay tuned for that!!

Hello, have you ever though about just having an accurate watch without the need of a wave receptor?. Since almost all sorts of waves are mildly harmful to humans. Is proven that even cell phones increase the heat in our bodies. I love the design of the watch anything like this without the wave? My regular casio is pretty accurate on its own. Heck nowadays even autos are fairly accurate...

[@WatchGeek]

Having or not having a wave Ceptor will not change the influence of waves on you, they are ALWAYS there, this just has the option to "listen" to them 😁

I had the rubber strap version of it. Ordered from Japan. The best thing about the watch: 1) The look. It is really noticeable outdoor. 2) Really light, you don't even feel the watch is there so be careful. 3) Super readable even in heavy sunlight. And the number is huge. You can turn on the blue light if in the dark. 4) You can set and see the full date calendar on the watch. Like 14 03 1967. Probably the only that have this feature. While the other negative would be: 1) The strap. I hope I can find proper third party replacement for it because, rubber strap tend to break down easily compare to the metal one. 2) The watch face. Need to find alternative watch face protector since accident could happened. Overall, it is really a good watch especially for 80's kids like me.

[@funny-video-YouTube-channel]

solar powered watches from CASIO are more futuristic, because they live on sunshine.

[@bakagabor]

I've been a happy owner of one of these for about a year now. I have the "sportier" version with the black plastic parts and band, for me it looks better because it's not even trying to look more than what it is, while the metal version tries and fails because of the cheap looking grey plastic. All in all a very good Casio, nowadays it's my daily driver. I think it looks way better than its round (WV-58) cousins. Recommended! Nice review as always!

[@greamespens1460]

I have the one being reviewed and at the time bought the round one that you have for a brother. It is very nice watch, all you need with chrono, countdown world time etc. Because of the waveceptor function i use it to set my others watches.

[@defonjack8169]

Bought this watch 14 years ago and still yet to change the battery. Of course its always accurate thanks to the wave ceptor.

[@jeb-zf4un]

Great looking casio knocked it out the park for design. Everyone should have a wave ceptor in their watch box if only as a reference piece!

[@G1NZOU]

I purchased the Wave Ceptor LCW-M170TD for my father, and wow, just a well put together watch, solar, multi band 6, 100m water resistance, titanium and slim, with a nice dial and hands that go to sleep when kept in darkness for a while, but spring back to their intended position when brought back into light.

[@AgeofDoom]

Casio watches remain more futuristic than modern smart watches, at least in appearance.

One of the very few Casio watches in which you can switch the date format and a full date display. I like it.

Do we have any videos on how to adjust the metal bracelet??? I am looking for 2 hours already on KZbin to find out how to adjust the band to my wrist

[@artkingofwholefoods74]

I FINALLY pulled the trigger on this watch. I ordered the one with the black band. I’m hoping I can put a nice thick leather strap on it.

[@Spectator007]

My waveceptor looks identical but doesnt have the EL. Why is that?

[@LV-42617]

Unfortunately Casio switched in the newer models from EL to the orange/yellow LED backlight. It might be easier on the battery but EL looks so much cooler and better.

[@martindemo26]

Nice watch, definately prefer these more readable displays compared to black reverse display.

[@L98fiero]

First Casio like this one that I got was some time in the mid 70s. In 1982 I was reaching under a DEC PDP8 in a 19" rack that my secretary was tilting over so I could reach under it and she let the rack fall on my wrist, breaking the crystal. Got another the same that lasted about 20 years and picked up another in the late 90s after the chrome 'skin' started peeling off the case. My issue is that they are getting hard to find, most'fashion' watches are basically wall clocks strapped to your wrist and it seems the bigger, thicker and more gaudy they are, the better, the Casio is relatively thin and functional and still looks good.

[@Kingstonsmac]

Just ordered one. Love everything about these Casios !

[@Balthazare69]

I have a digital watch from the early 80s, it seems cheap, it doesn't say who the manufacturer is at all, it just says Levis® on the glass, on the lid made in hong kong, and inside on the printed board "LEVIS AUSTRIA TLX133858 12". I was wondering if you might know who the manufacturer is.

[@angoethomsen2315]

I bought my Casio WV 59 last summer on a fleemarket for 3 €. I polish the watch and it was one of the best buys last year.

[@vesselinkrastev]

I don't know if it was just me but sizing the bracelet on this watch was a pain in the ass. I managed to break the teeth of two of the inner links. It's possible that I was doing something wrong but there was nothing in the manual and I couldn't find anything online. I have seized a folded link bracelet on an older Casio and it was quite simple but this one uses a different system.

I just ordered it, since I just wanted a watch that was always right to the second. (my wrist watch being a minute off from my computers and smartphone always bugged me) But hearing that it can dd/mm instead of mm/dd makes me absurdly happy. Being German, seeing mm/dd always feels wrong to me.

[@henryettoit897]

why would it ever be mm/dd? casio is a japanese company

[@davidgretzschelcommunicati1630]

@Henry Ettoit Dunno, probably cause watches for the Western market are a seperate production line. They need to be, since I've never seen a Casio Watch (except this one) able to show Japanese for the weekdays. And it probably makes sense to just make everything US English format for the Western market. This one will also allow me show weekdays with a German, English, Japanese and some other formats. Also very unusual.

Great watch, maybe the next casio on my list. Just got the Casio Royale (in black) and I'm so in love with this watch. The wv59 has the same kind of aesthetic going on. I have to force myself to put it off for my usual rotation. Since you're such an casio expert, maybe you can help me out. I got the problem with the band of my GR-B100 being to long... Have you any suggestions? I can't find a replacement and cutting seems no option. I like this watch a lot but I hardly wear it because of the unused band part standing off very awkwardly.

A note that the M-D that appears on G-Shocks isn't a purely U.S. format, although M-D-Y is: Y-M-D is commonly used in Asia, and when you exclude the year from the dial you get a format that works nicely for both the U.S. and Asia. Still, considering most of the world uses D-M-Y, I can understand wanting the ability to change date formats.

It won't because there is black plastic space between chrome plated surface and metal band. I agree about full metal case and mineral glass! But... maybe it looks like a toy but it is well designed and if you don't mind plastic construction, it will run many years...
