Casio W800HG Series | Men’s Digital Watch | 100 Meter Water Resistance | Multi Function Alarm | 100 SEC Stopwatch | Auto Calendar | Countdown Timer | LED Light | Dual Time| 10 Year Battery

Bought this 2 years and 8 months ago and it's still great. In that time, it's drifted 27 seconds (e.g. at 8:00:00 it now reads 8:00:27). **EDIT** This drift is inaccurate. Updated at bottom of review **END EDIT**. For me, that's not a big deal, but figured I'd mention it. I wear the watch face-side down on my wrist, but it only accrued one mild scratch in all that time. Nothing terrible. I bought this watch because it had 3 things; the 24-hour time, the day of the week, and the date on a single screen. It's the only watch I've found that had all 3 of those. To find all 3 in a highly rated and CHEAP watch? I bought it in a second and haven't regretted it since. I actually returned a better and more expensive watch (Casio DW5600E-1V) before eventually finding and loving this. I especially love that it orders the date in Year-Month-Day format. I live in the US where Month-Day-Year is the norm, but I also work with thousands of computer files where the best way to organize files by date is with a Year-Month-Day system (e.g. 221102 for November 2, 2022). It's just a little nothing thing, but I love this watch for it. I should note that the watch band snapped off back in August, 2 years and 5 months after getting the watch. That's happened with other watches with resin bands that I've owned, always around the 2-3 year mark. I heard it's from sweat or showers hardening the resin or something. That could make sense as I never take mine off except when I'm rock climbing. Regardless, I just grabbed a cheap 18mm silicone watch strap for 12.99 and it's been fine ever since (bought silicone because I heard they don't snap. I'll update this if it ever does). I plan to use this watch forever. If it breaks, I'll buy a new one for the price of a burger + onion rings. I've gone through a dozen watches over the past 25 years or so, but this is the first one that I loved. It has everything I want without a bunch of other useless expensive crap that I'll never use (looking at you, altimeter; and that's coming from a hiker). It's cheap, reliable (anecdotally), has a fast band replacement process, no feature-bloat, has large text, and is DECENTLY water resistant. The only downside is that the watch isn't 200m water resistant. If it was, it'd be perfect for me. Anyway, I don't go surfing/swimming with it, but it hasn't fogged up after 2+ years of showers, rain, sweat, etc. If you want a cheap watch, I recommend this one (unless you're an avid surfer). Or if you're like me and willing to fork over $100 for a watch, maybe buy this anyway. It's certainly much better than the $21 price-tag would have you believe. **EDIT** 12/12/23 I made the above review over a year ago, but I realized that I couldn't verify that the 27 seconds of drift was accurate. Well, I decided to run a little experiment over the past year and record the drift every few months (basically whenever I remembered I was even doing this) and it turns out that the drift WASN'T accurate. After a year, my watch drifted 58 seconds. To get that 27 second value, I might have reset my watch whenever we had daylight saving time or something, hence the inaccurate drift. Anyway, I included the recorded values below (MM/DD/YY format) in case someone is interested. Also, I used time.gov for the baseline comparison. 12/11/22 9:55PM - 0 seconds fast 01/19/23 6:18PM - 5 seconds fast 02/22/23 12:48PM - 10.5 seconds fast 04/15/23 9:00PM - 18.5 seconds fast 05/08/23 8:22PM - 22 seconds fast 06/27/23 12:52PM - 30 seconds fast 09/06/23 8:15PM - 41 seconds fast 11/05/23 7:18PM - 51 seconds fast 12/11/23 9:55PM - 58 seconds fast This basically means my watch drifts by a little more than 1 second every week (1sec/~6.29days). For my needs, that's fine. I'm not doing anything in my daily life that requires long-term precision to the second, and I have to reset it every so often anyway for the aforementioned daylight saving time, so I don't mind at all. Other than that, the watch still works great (nearing 4 years now) and the "new" silicone watchband is still great too (although it hasn't hit that 2-3 year breakdown point yet). So, all in all, still happy with it.

I just got my watch yesterday, and after a full day of use, I am happy to report that this is a very solid all-around watch. I got this to replace my previous daily driver, the Timex Men's T49997 Expedition...

Fits nice, looks tactical but not overly so. Keeps time well and the screen is easy to read. Great price and excellent long lasting battery. Goes well with casual clothing and outdoor activities. Seems durable enough for active people. Would buy again, highly recommended.

Bought this as a work beater. It's held up fine so far. (1) Not an everyday wear, as I'm just too used to analog display. (2) My one gripe is that the display doesn't have an icon to tell you if it's in 12H or 24H format. You only know that when either 1PM or 1300 comes around. It's easy to bump it, and set it back to 12H, which I don't like. (3) Pretty small, but very legible display. Well laid out. (4) I hate Casio factory straps, mostly, and this is no exception. I managed to crowd a thin nylon 1 piece onto it with some difficulty, but those springbars sit really close to the case. I pity the sales guy who has to change my battery. Lug width is 18mm. The result looks pretty good. (4) Pretty thin, compact, weighs nothing, and is one of the lowest priced 100 metre watches for sale.

Simple, elegant, comfortable, utilitarian. Phenomenal water rating. What’s not to love?

Not much of a digital watch fan but wanted one for work. Also something with a good water resistance so I can jump in a pool and not worry about what watch I have on. This was it! Casio's in this range have a reputation for being solid, and for good reason. I love the blacked out look of mine. It can be difficult in some situations or angles to see the time clearly, but no big deal for me. Features are great. And at these prices, I'm pretty sure I'll have a new Casio here soon again.

This is an update to a Casio watch I have had since 2018 that is still going strong with the only difference being the contrast of the screen (traditionally a green LCD screen with black numbers - this is reversed). I have 4 of them and have swapped out the band for differently colored silicone straps that match outfits I wear. Time keeping is accurate and it is light and almost unnoticeable on my wrist. There are alarm and stopwatch functions that I don't use and haven't learned, and yes, I am one of those who uses a (non-Smart) watch to tell time in preference to digging out my phone... except if I need an alarm or timer!

This is the third such watch I've worn over many years and have always been pleased with its "cost-efffective" reliability. I have generally worn them 24/7 with no problem. However, much to my surprise, recently I developed a small cyst on my left wrist where the watch normally rests, even though the band was not unusually tight From my "AI research" on this matter, I determined other folks have also developed cysts on their wrist from 24/7 wearing of wristwatches. So, the "word" is . . . remove wristwatches daily and wash wrist and watch.
