I was going to get a black faced marine gear AMW320R but somehow I found this gem on casio's web site. I googled it and there is no other information available on the web for this watch. Here is the link:

Does anyone have this watch? Its got everything the old marine gear has plus its solar, atomic, and a light! In my opinion it even looks better.

I can't believe there is no other information on the web on it and nothing on where to buy it. Any info will be appreciated.

Looks nice!! My brother has the older marine gear 3-eye chrono and has not had any problems with it. I have seen these older versions on the wrists of the EMT crews at my company.

Casio always seems to release their new models to Japan first, and then slowly make them available to north america and the rest of the world. I did a goodle search and could not find any info on it. Perhaps you could search the Japanese sites... through a translator add-on? Although I don't know if Casio has authorized its Japanese ADs to export outside of Japan.

Actually I did find some japanese sites with this watch apparently for sale. Unfortunately the translator did not work well (google). The fact is though that Casio is showing this on their US Casio site so I have to believe they are intending to sell it here now or soon.

The fact that no-one has written about this watch at all intrigues me and I wonder if anyone knows when it came out.

I have two of the Marine Gear watches. One with a black face, the other with the champagne/gold. They are great watches, but this one looks better. :-! Thanks for posting that.

I want to see a gold-dial version :-!

I don't have one, but I saw the white dial version live in a shop... it simply looks great.

New to the forum...found it by Googling this watch! I have a rather dumb question regarding this Casio model...is it possible to have the digital display show the current time constantly, instead of the day/date? It's rare that I need to know what day it is, but I would like to be able to read the exact time at a glance, without having to toggle through several fields to see it.

Thanks for any information anyone can offer. I have an old Casio that I'm looking to replace so I'm still learning what the features on the newer models do...

(apologies for cross posting this to more than one thread)

Amazon has it here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?u...es&field-keywords=Casio+WVA320J-1E+&x=15&y=18

And to answer the ? about showing the time versus the date, If it's like my marine gear you can toggle through the functions and leave it on any of them. But I don't have this model so I'm only guessing.

Good luck!

Thanks Zlman. I'm hoping you're right about the time function. I guess I'll have to buy it and see for myself!

If you can figure out which module it has, you can download the manual from casio. The module is imprinted on the caseback so maybe find a good photo.

I have the watch.

Posted my impressions here.

You can display the current time in the digital window, or an alternate timezone time.

wow, you could buy 3 AMW's for that price, cool watch though

Yes, I have one on the stainless steel band that is more than four years old. It is still in mint condition physically, but the second hand is erratic. Other than that it is perfect. Casio says they no longer carry, or have access to parts for this model. So, I have been looking for another one with a good movement to rob parts from. I finally found one with the rubber strap, good movement, but scratched bezel. Anyone want to guess what I'm going to do?

While at Amazon looking at this, I also found this one..

Kind of hits home how the mechanical watch industry nearly died.. chronograph, tides, moon phase, alarms.. it's a Grand Complication for $55.
