And who can blame him, it looks like a lot of fun, especially when you come to realize he does all his own stunts – and even broke his foot jumping between buildings in Mission Impossible 6 in London a few years ago! Nevertheless, let’s find out for sure. We are going to be looking into this watch by examining the build quality, design, features, and pricing. After it is all said and done, we should be able to come to a reasonable conclusion about this watch. But nothing more. No Tough Solar, no Atomic timekeeping, and no Triple Sensor. However, if you are like me, they are unnecessary in daily life anyway! So with all that being said, what is the final conclusion on the Casio DW290? Should you buy this watch?

What we can conclude here is that this is yet another solid watch from Casio. In terms of build quality, and pricing, you get a pretty decent watch at a very affordable price.

Model Comparison

The Mission Impossible franchise didn’t start as a big-budget action movie – it was first a popular TV series. The first Mission Impossible TV series ran from 1966 to 1973 and the second one ran from 1988 to 1990. The first movie was released in 1996 and, except for including the character of Jim Phelps (the MIF leader in the television series), was a complete overhaul from its TV counterpart. However, the iconic Mission Impossible theme, the lighted fuse intro, and self-destructing messages were kept intact. Only One Character from the TV Series Made it to the Big Screen The latest entry into the Mission Impossible series, Fallout, gives Ethan Hunt a more rugged and traditional timepiece in the form of the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) GS Sonar Watch. As far as style goes, however, it leaves much to be desired. While not really necessarily an ugly watch there are similar looking watches from Casio that are easier on the eyes. Its dial window is made from mineral crystal, and the band is resin. Water resistance is 200 meters, which means that you can swim, shower, bathe, and even go diving with it on and it should be ok.

Now that we’ve covered the basics, we can get into the depth of this review. The first aspect of this watch that we are going to look at is the build quality. Build Quality The character of Jim Phelps, played by Peter Graves in the series and was re-casted to Jon Voight in the movie, is the only original character to appear in both the television and movie adaptation. However, the portrayal of the character differs greatly in both adaptations. While Jim Phelps was the honorable leader of the MIF in the TV series, the movie version painted him as a more malevolent and manipulative light who turned out to be the main antagonist of the first film. Tom Cruise did the Majority of His Stunts With all that being said, let’s get into it! The first thing we are going to look at though is the specifications. Simple, classy, and tough – the CWC GS Sonar is an excellent outdoor timepiece for when hiking, camping, or saving the world from mass destruction. Notable Watches Worn by Other Characters in Mission Impossible Fallout Strangely, Ethan Hunt did not wear any notable timepiece in Rogue Nation. Fortunately for us, Simon Pegg had a super-cool Tissot timepiece to show off in the film.

Admittedly, the overall design here is not the best we’ve seen from Casio, but it is not entirely horrid to look at either. This style will appeal to some, and not so much to others. If there is one thing that is great about Casio watches, it is the fact that they produce good quality, durable, functional watches at extremely affordable prices. The Casio DW290 is one such watch. This model is the Tissot T-Touch Expert Solar timepiece which features a notable textured grey dial and brushed 43mm titanium case. This timepiece comes with an excellent multi-functional build which is a perfect watch for the nerdiest member of MIF. The T-Touch Expert Solar comes with chronograph features, altimeter, barometer, compass, calendar, dual time zones, and even a thermometer. The DW290 has also been dubbed the “Mission Impossible” due to the fact that it was featured in the 1996 film of the same name starring Tom Cruise. Cruise was seen wearing the watch in this film.

It is priced on the lowest pricing tier of watches. While it stops just shy of being a truly bargain bin priced watch, the price is low enough that it shouldn’t be a burden on anybody’s wallet.As the frontman and action hero in all the movies, Tom Cruise is synonymous with Mission Impossible. And he seems to want to always make another one! In this article, we will be giving the spotlight to these tough and modern timepieces that shared the big screen with Tom Cruise. Points to note in the features, are that it does have a split time feature for 1st and 2nd place times. Additionally, the calendar comes pre programmed all the way up to the year 2029, so you probably won’t have to set it. There is a downside to the alarm feature in that you can only set 1 alarm. Other Casio watches allow for multiple alarms to bet set.
