CasioW800HG 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

Great watch.Easy to set up.Water resistance 100meters aka definitely shower proof.Stop watch.Different types of alarm options, which I don’t use but great to have.Absolutely love that I can see what day of the week it is (Mon/tue/wed/etc), the time (in 12/24h your preference) and the full date (year-month-day) all on one screen powered by a durable little battery.Love the blackout look although due to the contrast It does require a toggle on the light function to see the information clearly depending on available light, but it’s not a biggie and you quickly acclimate.Battery that will supposedly last 10 years is fantastic, especially in these times.The watch is very lightweight, I forget I have it on sometimes.The band is on the longer side, if it bothers you can always just purchase a different replacement band of your preference.If you need to know the time in 2 time zones, this does that too with just a toggle of the function key.I’ve been wearing the original plastic band and it began to show some plastic peeling wear about a month in. Now after 2 months daily wear it’s becoming more prominent, so I will probably be changing the band.

This watch does not include a countdown timer as claimed. It is easily unlocked though, if you are comfortable opening it up and doing a bit of tinkering. Instructions are easy to find on YouTube.This is a fantastic watch for the money! Feature packed, good backlight, and the perfect size. Water resist to 100 meters! A big step up from other Casios, particularly the F91w and F105w, for only a few dollars more. I like the look of the 'blackout' display but it is a bit harder to read in less than full light. The band fits much more comfortably than lesser Casio watches, I can use a notch in the middle of the range rather than near the end.

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** 12/12/23I 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 fast01/19/23 6:18PM - 5 seconds fast02/22/23 12:48PM - 10.5 seconds fast04/15/23 9:00PM - 18.5 seconds fast05/08/23 8:22PM - 22 seconds fast06/27/23 12:52PM - 30 seconds fast09/06/23 8:15PM - 41 seconds fast11/05/23 7:18PM - 51 seconds fast12/11/23 9:55PM - 58 seconds fastThis 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 needed a watch that was durable but also wasn't too "bulky" and could sit nicely under a sleeve, so I had to choose between this and the DW5600UE (still thinking about that one). I decided to purchase the blackout variant, and i really like it. the only problem was the strap so i bought a nylon watch band and that solved the problem AND made the watch look a little better.Time retention is a little annoying, i lost a few seconds after a week of setting the time, but not that big of a deal.Decent watch, especially for the price.

Looks great, feels great on wrist, very lightweight, and the alarm/timer/daytime savings functions work perfect. 10/10 watch for such an affordable price. Easy to set up. Different types of alarm options its nice to have different options. The all black theme makes it look more expensive than it is and having a perfect size for the wrist not too big or too small just in the middle.

I've had this watch two years, it's been on countless rides on my Harley and gone swimming many times. I once forgot to remove it to change oi in my truck and it was covered in 5W30 but warm water and dawn soap cleaned it right up. I have aging eyes and it's easy to read without glasses, I did change the strap out for a $5 nylon strap after a year (easy swap ) best watch for the money in my opinion..

I can see myself wearing this watch for the rest of my life. Love the color and fit. Very comfortable. The display can be dim and kind of hard to see, but like it. It can also withstand water from showers or even swimming.

Simple and dependable watch! Buy it while you still can.
