EASY to read! ACCURATE! TOUGH!
THIS is how all watch faces should be! EASY to read!The MQ24-7B2, aka MQ24-7BLL, has simply perfect proportions of the numericals for ageing eyes, and is a joy to look at. This dirt-simple little watch is a dream work "beater", is light, smooth, light on the wrist, comfy, and stays out of the way! Too many "tough" watches are clunky and have spikes and protrusions that get in the way and get snagged everywhere, but not this one!The white-dial/black-hands contrast is exceptional, and makes it readable even in dim conditions. This 16 dollar watch is remarkably tough for not being a G-Shock, and I even wore it for a year in a hardware store job, where it got banged up with heavy garden wall-stones and heavy metal pieces. It also get drenched in hard garden-hose spray, packed in mud, washing hands, wearing it in the shower, and despite Casio claiming no depth rating, it never got a leak, so working around water I found not to be a problem!It is most importantly a seriously good time-keeper and gains only about 10 to 12 seconds per month!The "crystal" is tough plastic, and does scratch over time. This can be polished out with a thing called "Polywatch", and is well worth doing so. It may be a cheap watch, but is so good, I would find it a shame to toss it for any reason, and a new battery was well worth the few cents, when it ran out after about 4 years or so!The crystal catches no reflections from all over, because it is flat, and I actually found that all the fine scratches I collected made i even less reflective than it already was, helping to make this watch even better in all light conditions :)Like mentioned, I did polish the watch, and it looks a bit worn, and now has real character, with the crystal smooth and just fine with a fine pattern of microscopic fine lines in it, that actually reduce reflectivity!SIZEWISE:Don't even try to complain about this being some girl's or "unisex" watch, code speak by wannabe machos for nasty slurs.This classic Casio uses the old men's size of 35mm, the size used until the 80's, for watches worn as dress watches and in WW2 by tough guys, commandos, paratroopers, storm troopers, seals, etc. MOST were made in Switzerland and sold to all sides, Nazies and Allies!James Bond's first Rolex Submariner was a nowadays diminutive for a dive-watch 38mm size, thanks to the extra outside timer bezel requiring it to be bigger than 35mm, believe it or not!CONCLUSION:Youtube "influencers" have described this as "God Tier", because this watch does just everything so right.I don't do god-stuff, but I agree, that this is one of the greatest of all times, when it comes to simple and highly functional watches!ALSO: Casio's plastic straps are known to break after a few years (they DO break after 1 to 3 years!), and this one is worth a cheap 16mm NATO cloth strap you can buy in some places for 3 bucks, or an original replacement Casio strap, once that happens!

Takes a licking and keeps ticking
Why did you pick this product vs others?:My Main Watch Since 2019 I bought this watch in 2019 and it has been my daily watch ever since. It's a welcome relief from smartwatches that require constant attention.Simple and Practical in an age of nonstop notifications and connections The design is straightforward and functional. It's lightweight, so I often forget it's even on my wrist. It just tells the time with no notifications or distractions, which is a great alternative to most modern “smart” watches.Durable with an Impressive Battery Life The best features are its durability and battery life. I've worn it daily for years and it has held up against drops and bangs without any issues. The original battery is still working. It's a reliable watch that you don't have to worry about.For the price, it's an excellent value. If you need a durable and dependable watch, this is a solid choice. Highly recommended.

Great watch: stylish, simple, and excellent quality for the price
I'm very satisfied with this Casio MQ24 series watch. It has a minimalist design with a metallic finish that looks much more elegant than what you'd expect at this price point. It's lightweight, comfortable to wear all day, and pairs well with both casual and slightly more formal outfits.The build quality really surprised me. Everything works perfectly, and the movement is very accurate. I've been using it for almost a month now, and it hasn’t failed me once.The only thing I’d change —just a personal preference— is the case diameter (39 mm), since I like slightly larger watches on the wrist. Still, it looks good and doesn’t feel too small. I definitely recommend it for both men and women who want something practical, good-looking, and affordable.

Great watch
Really nice comfortable watch. Gotten a lot of compliments from peers (have a Seiko as well and most think this Casio watch is in the $100-$140 price range at first glance which I found interesting). Very lightweight and extremely versatile being the silver/chrome I went with. Goes well with casual to business casual.Only downside to this watch is if you have any hair on your arm it will yank at it. I actually don’t have harry arms but it’s very subtle hair barely noticeable, yet it still pulls on my arm hairs and can get uncomfortable at times.Other than that, very nice watch, great accuracy, easy to set up to current time, etc… would recommend.
