Casio Wave Ceptor Watches
Posted by: | Comments
YEAH Santa came early to my house. What did he deliver you ask? A Casio Wave Ceptor watch for both Steve and I. How many functions can one watch have? The Casio Wave Ceptor watch has more then I can count and all of them useful.
The Casio Wave Ceptor Watch is solar powered and the battery can hold a charge for up to 6 months. There is no winding or replacing of the battery simply step outside in the sun for 8 minutes to recharge. If you are unable to step outside the battery will charge off of a fluoroscent bulb indoors but takes approximately 8 hours to fully recharge.
To make timekeeping easy there is the radio atomic time keeping function. Follow the simple directions to update the watch to your home town and it will receive radio signals throughout the day to keep the time up to date. For someone like Steve who is habitually behind schedule this combined with the three daily alarms will be hopefully be keeping him on schedule in the new year.
If you are a business person that travels to and from different time zones and/or work with others in different time zones you may have the problem I do. While I work a set schedule from our house in the Eastren time zone, my boss works a different schedule from me and she works it in Arizona. There have been a lot of times where I have picked up the phone to call her about a problem only to realize that she is no longer working for the day. Now I can simply press a button and see what the time is in her area and throughout the world. No more frantic calls at the very last minute to try and get an answer because I can plan calls throughout the day more clearly.
PROS:
- Atomic time keeping
- Solar powered
- Stop Watch
- Backlit
- Programmed to 2099
- Water resistant
- Daily alarm
CONS
- My watch is a little snug in the band. That has to do with my thick wrists. It still fits well I just wish I had a little more length to it.
BUY IT: The Casio Wave Ceptor Watch can be purchased at retailers across the nation and online from stores such as Amazon
Casio Exilim EX-S5 Review
Posted by: | Comments
While I have a digital SLR camera that I love I do have one small problem. It’s bulky. I cannot easily fit it into the diaper bag for trips to the park or for taking a quick picture or two at a birthday party. I have been on the search for a good digital camera that is slim profile so it fits easily in small spaces.
I was lucky enough to find everything I wanted in the Casio Exilim. This little beauty boasts 10.1 megapixels with a 3x optical zoom/4x digital zoom. It is a simple point and shoot that also has some manual functions. It is perfect for all of us in the family. Once I showed Charlie which button to press he was able to take some shots. (He’s no great photographer yet and we got quite a few pics of people’s rear ends.)
We love the anti-shake function. Steve has some mild tremors that he cannot control so many of his pictures come out blurry. That is no longer a worry with the Casio Exilim. It takes wonderful shots including most of the ones you have seen on this site in the past month. I’m beyond impressed with the quality and ease of editing. We’ve recorded a few videos with the Casio Exilim and it’s not only easy to record, it’s easy to upload to Youtube with the software that comes with the camera.
The Casio Exilim comes in 5 colors including pink and blue. And comes with charger and a limited built-in memory. I would add an SD card for extra memory though. Once you start using this camera you won’t want to put it down.
BUY IT: You can purchase the Casio Exilim in retailers across the country or online at stores including Amazon
PROS
- Slim body
- Colorful
- 10.1 megapixels
- Face detection, best shot and Youtube video capture modes
CONS
- I have looked everywhere and cannot find where there is a charger for the car. Sounds odd but we travel extensively and who hasn’t been in the position to have dead batteries. I would strongly suggest buying an extra battery to have charged and ready.
Casio Men’s Wave Ceptor Watch ~~CLOSED~~

Since the time we met Steve has worn the same watch. A beautiful solar powered Casio watch. It was his one purchase for himself that he splurged on before we met. It has held up beautifully over the years. I think its time for a little something new though. Something that is a little more updated with new technology.
I’m falling for the Casio Men’s Wave Ceptor Watches. They have an LCD at the 4 o’clock position that displays the date, mode, stopwatch and digital time. Then there is the auto LED light and the Neo-brite hands that make it easy for reading in the dimmer light.
I also love that the watches are water resistant. With two small kids, we are always washing something, dishes, clothes or a hieney. So having a watch that we don’t have to take off every 5 seconds is a plus.this
