CASIO EFR-526L-1A

Advantages: - Build quality - accuracy (never let down in a year) - classic dial design, chronograph - water resistance (not tested, but what is, pleases) - mineral glass

Disadvantages: - Price. Still for a watch on a battery, 9tr overdofig) Overpayment for the brand apparently) - Native strap. It is not clear why a men's watch has a strap in such a design) Like a crocodile leather in gloss, a women's handbag or what?) Looks generally awful, just under the replacement. The varnish wears off over time. And besides, the native strap is terribly uncomfortable, it is thick and hard, it will take a long time to wear it out ...

Comment: For a long time I chose my watch, I decided to take this one. In principle, an excellent chronometer, it looks stylish and business-like, suitable both for a suit and for everyday use. A medium-sized case, not a mini, but not a can of sprats) But the strap was upset, I had to take it with a bracelet. Sometimes this model is in other colors, with a brown strap it looks better (but a similar original strap costs about 2tr)

Advantages: Design, glass

Disadvantages: The strap, the chronometer hands go astray (although, according to reviews, this is easily corrected, I have not tried it myself yet)

Comment: I wear the watch for about 2 years, I really like it. Of the advantages, an excellent design, I wear them both in everyday life and under a suit to work. Very good glass, I am one of those people who often bang their hands on corners, jambs, iron railings, etc., repeatedly hit the metal with glass, I was afraid that I would break, not a single scratch, the glass remains as new. I really didn't like the belt, it's very thick and rough because of this, the leather is covered with varnish (or paint) on top, which, when worn and rubbed against the sleeves, began to wear out in places (looks terrible), and over time, the outer layer of the strap (inner) began to burst ( there are many transverse cracks in the outer layer (namely, the layer, because there are several of them) on the inner side), the belt does not break because of this and the cracks are not visible. As a result, due to the scuffs of the varnish and cracks on the inside, I will change the strap, but not for the original one for obvious reasons. Today the battery has run down (it took about 2 years to be announced), i.e. there are no questions for her. The watch is waterproof - it's true, I try not to check it again and take it off by bathing, but once I forgot to take it off and jumped in it from the bridge into the river, everything is ok, everything works. Of the minuses, the chronometer hands go astray (although according to reviews this is easily corrected, I have not tried it myself). In general, I like the watch very much, knowing the cons (rather one, but a fat minus - the strap), I would still buy (I bought it in 2014 for 5500 rubles in the watch salon (a gift from my wife, therefore, in the salon with fitting).

Advantages: 1. Design. The design is the trick here, they look very masculine, better than in the picture. 2. Quality, the watch itself looks quite expensive, the leather strap is strong. 3. Protection against water, up to 10 atmospheres. 4. Tempered glass.

Disadvantages: Of the minuses, I have not noticed anything yet, only that the indicated battery life is 2 years. Although they serve, let's see

Comment: I recommend taking, reasonable price for good quality. I see no reason to overpay for some well-promoted brands, since everything suits me, I can’t be happy about them))

Advantages: 1) Excellent water resistance 2) Simple yet decent look 3) Soft leather strap 4) Long lasting battery

Disadvantages: 1) I miss the indicator of the day of the week (it was on previous Orient) 2) Soft leather strap (see comments)

Comment: Great watch. I took it in the store for about 4500 rubles. For almost two years of use, I have never adjusted the time - they go clearly. Was caught in the pouring rain and they did not leak. Falling from> 1 m height flat glass on the floor - the glass is alive and without cracks. I touched or metal objects - there were scratches, but in general they are not noticeable. And, I must also say about the strap: the fact that it is soft is good and bad. The good thing is that it is conveniently fastened and sits nicely on the hand, and the bad thing is that, due to its softness, it is more prone to damage. You can take it with a bracelet, but I read in the reviews that it rubs heavily. I am very pleased with the purchase. Recommend.

Advantages: Men's serious watch, Hands are clearly visible, even in the dark. Stylish design, good for young and old

Disadvantages: so far not any, the strap seemed to be in doubt, but as long as the norms, the hand under it does not sweat, there are no cracks,

Comment:

Advantages: Beautiful, durable glass and strap.

Disadvantages: For me not

Comment: I chose only from photographs, did not try it on, bought a 526 model for myself and a 510 for my father in the online store (they fit more and look more harmonious under his big hand), I wear it for 3 months every day, I don’t want to take pictures even at night), behave very well when colliding with metal surfaces, there are no scratches left. The hands and stopwatch do not coincide with the marks a little, maybe the problem of my copy, but not annoying, for its cost I really liked

Advantages: The model is good, it fits well on the hand

Disadvantages: You cannot call it a disadvantage, but this model can only be with a bracelet, in summer, under the leather strap, the hand sweats a lot.

Comment: This model can be recommended, the year of warranty and the price is quite consistent with the quality

Advantages: Stylish design, leather strap, water resistance, stopwatch, price.

Disadvantages: High error. We have to fail quite often, as the clock starts to rush for about a minute.

Comment: A good medium-sized watch that goes well with both classics and casual wear. The accuracy was a little disappointing (perhaps the problem is with my copy). I bought it for 4500 in September 2015. I recommend it!

Advantages: Excellent appearance, price / quality ratio, durability.

Disadvantages: relatively short battery life (2 years claimed)

Comment: While everyone is happy, the clock looks better than in the picture.

Excellent watch: attractive appearance, durable glass (not scratched yet), time is clearly visible in the dark. Whoever complains about the discrepancy between the stopwatch hands - the instructions describe how to set them correctly. The strap is leather (the pattern is printed), the quality is normal, but, of course, with all the shortcomings of leather straps.
