Which is better for everyday wear?

The Casio. It weighs 13 g, has a buckle band that stays put, and is water resistant for handwashing. The Time & Tru is heavier and has no water resistance.

Can I swim or shower in either watch?

Not in the Time & Tru; it has no water resistance rating. The Casio is listed at 50 m but Casio's own spec table says splash resistant, so treat it as safe for splashes, not swimming.

The Casio's battery is rated about 3 years versus 2 for the Time & Tru. The Casio's resin band avoids the plating wear that gold-tone expansion bands show over time.

Is the Time & Tru worth buying at $7.00?

Yes if you want a gold-tone look for occasional dressier outfits. At $7.00 at Walmart as of October 30, 2026, it costs little, but expect no water protection and a short 2-year battery.

Which looks dressier?

The Time & Tru. Its oval gold-tone case and matching expansion band read as jewelry. The Casio's black resin band and blue dial are casual.

Which fits a small wrist better?

The Casio, with a 22.5 mm case diameter and a 7-inch strap. The Time & Tru's expansion band adjusts to most wrists but the oval case is larger and the watch is much heavier.
