Is the Casio WV200A-2AV good for swimming?

Yes. It is rated to 200m, which covers swimming and snorkeling. It is not rated for scuba diving.

How does the atomic timekeeping work?

The watch receives a radio time signal, usually overnight, and corrects itself. Reception is best near a transmitter; it can fail in remote regions.

Does it need a new battery?

Yes. It uses a CR1620 cell with about two years of life. It is not solar powered, so plan on a battery change.

Will it fit a small wrist?

The case is 47.7mm wide and 15.2mm thick, which is large. The 16mm resin band helps, but it wears big on narrow wrists.

The watch with its resin band and a manual. No charger is needed since it runs on a coin cell.

Our take on the Casio WV200A-2AV Wave Ceptor Atomic Sport Watch

The Casio WV200A-2AV Wave Ceptor is a digital sport watch that sets itself by atomic radio signal and covers 48 cities across 29 time zones. It is rated to 200m, so it suits swimming and snorkeling, not scuba. The case is large at 47.7mm wide and 15.2mm thick, and the resin band and case keep it light. It runs on a CR1620 cell with about two years of battery life.
