Use: where this watch is appropriate

Thanks to 50 m water protection, the AMW-870-1A is suitable for swimming and active water recreation, but not for diving. The digital display with day of week and two alarms is convenient for everyday use: no need to check your phone to see what day it is or whether the morning alarm is set. Backlight is activated by a separate LIGHT button - reading the time in the dark is simple and without unnecessary movements.

Difference: why this model and not a regular Casio digital

Most budget Casio watches are either purely digital or purely analog. The AMW-870-1A combines both formats: hands for quick time reading and a digital block for extended functions. Additionally, the manufacturer claims a battery life of 10 years - this means you won't need to think about replacing the battery for years. The metal box case included makes this model a notable option for a gift.
