If you have one of these and happen to like it - convince me please cos I don't see the appeal.
I really want to like this watch but I just can't see the appeal. I know its feature is superior to the W218H but I'm not a fan of the display and the lug part.
@@uncurbedthoughts I know right. Its bizarrely really popular but I can't see the appeal either.
@@Tim2pointoh Maybe because it displays the year. And has 100M water resistance. Function over form for the price.
Call me crazy, but I like the design of it, and I like the idea of having so many info on the screen at all times, not having to press any buttons to know the exact date. And since it's Casio, you know it's going to be a sturdy and durable watch. It's basically a G-Shock in a smaller form factor. I'm planning on getting the green variant of the W-800HM.
@@LerniRoo "It's basically a G-Shock in a smaller form factor"
Exactly why I love this watch. It has the durability of something like a G-Shock, for 15 bucks. The screen does get scratched up very quickly, but on this watch it really doesn't matter. To me, the scratches on this watch are just part of the deal.
I've gone from expensive auto watches to a Casio W-800H, this watch is all you need never mind all the pretentious bull; it's all you really need in a watch!
Yep,thats the perfect watch,the only problem is that it didnt like the scratches
there are many screen protector selling online for less than a dollar
@@hun_gaming7757it is because you do not know about watch rempered glass screen protectors that are available online for under a dollar.. I have installed all my watches from mechanical to casios & even my g-shock that has only mineral glass I installed a tempered glass.. it is so cheap that I have few e tra spares for all of my watches just in case the tempered glass scratched up I can easily replace them all..
I like it. I work in a warehouse no phone allowed and i use the stopwatch so i can meet targets. Also it was cheap, i think it looks nice and long battery life.
I got this watch on discount for 11 USD. It was in 2010 and it's still on its original battery (2022). Personally I don't think you can find a better/more functional watch at that price point. The 100 m WR and 10 Y battery life combo alone is enough to make you buy it. For me it's been a loyal beater that's served me very well and still keeps accurate time.
That’s so good to hear / but have you changed the strap?
@@Tim2pointoh Yes I have 👍
@@Tim2pointoh
I have. I put a leather strap on it.
I wear it almost every day since 2013.
And i put the casio strap on my tag heuer.
The metal straphad issues.
Then yesterday i gave my nephew the tag heuer and a Longines.
He' is over the moon with them!
Same for me. Use a square of helitape as a screen protector & just sand back any scratches on the case if needed & it'll last for decades in harsh work environments too. I keep mine on when working on heavy machinery on oil installations & ships.
@@Tim2pointoh the strap on mine lasted about 10 years worn daily. The strap is the only "weak" point imo.
My father got this back in 2010 and he gave it to me in 2014, still works perfectly fine as of today.
I think it does his job well and its pretty useful.
I love every feature of it as it helps me a lot.
Hey its not a terrible watch, I was just amazed how much love was out there for it and I found it a bit odd.
Is the battery casio W800H🔋 is still going on from 2010 ? Or u have changed it with new one?
@@indiananupam5715 they last about 9 or 10 years. I replaced the battery in mine a few years ago.
@@indiananupam5715I’m 6+ years, original battery.
My best watch is the W-800H. I have had it for 5 years. I am at sea in the water for several hours every day. And that is what is most important to me. Indestructible. I paid only $20 for it.
I'm a fan of the W800, it's a perfect size for my wrist, super light, 100 metres water resistance, loads of functions, easily readable, and super inexpensive. In green particularly, it's fantastic looking.
Very nice!
As others have said - the reason this is a great watch is the 100m water resistance at roughly £20/$20 pricing. I bought one two years ago for boundary waters trip where this would get submerged regularly. Cost was 19 USD.
Why is Casio W800 my favorite Casio watch:
- It's just the right size
- It has 100 M of WR opposed to 50 M which most Casios of that exact size have
- the display is just the right size and is sharp and the layout is amazing
- shows year and date as well as the day in number and letter format which is interesting
- Is comfortable to wear
- has an amazing backlight
- bunch of useful functions even tho i use only Dual time when i go on a vacation.
Totally agree . We can get several versions of this model , the total black is so cool with light on numbers instead on screen . Of course it would be better with mineral glass and metal clasp , but in Casio we get them only in more expensive watches as Gshock .
Great comments. I almost sent mine back after watching this review, however, you saved me. 👏
@@jeffj318 I am glad you kept yours mate ❤️ I have 2 of them just in case. One is a beater and one is a spare 😄
I got one because I work as a lifeguard for a pool on a military base. I was diving down to the bottom of the pool (about 13 feet) to clean the filters and I found it stuck in the grate. I’ve kept it ever since. I agree it ain’t winning any beauty contest but it’s very functional and feels comfortable on my 6.5 inch wrist. Plus it’s only worth like 16 bucks but if I damage it then oh well, it’s got scuffs but I pulled the thing out of a drain filter so I’m not too concerned with its aesthetics. I replaced the strap with a thin nato strap for comfort. I’m use to wearing chunkier dive watches and other g shocks so this watch doesn’t feel too abnormal.
Thats cool.
I'm agree with your points , but i still like my W800H, because it is a prefect simple diving and workshop device.
1. i dont need a watch more unbreakable than my wrist , which G-shock does
2. i dont need a big square LCD with fancy looking information , which AE-1200 does
3. i dont need a small square face but with a rectangle LCD, which F91W does
4. i dont need a thick rim like someone's surgery lips, which W218H does
5. functionally, i need a durable light comfortable device , which i dont even need to take it off during months.
6. aesthetically, i need a humble masculine watch with a square LCD, which can fit my 5.5 inch wrist.
W800H is not a good looking dressy or fashion watch , it is a cool looking functional device.
Great comments, my Casio friend.
Love it. It’s got 100m WR and retro aesthetics. I think it’s just preference. If you don’t like retro looks and you don’t actually want the water resistance, maybe it’s just not for you. I also like the original g-shocks but I don’t care for any of the later designs. 😊
I like retro looks, but I don’t think this is retro look. It’s just a design I’m not that fussed with - however since making this video I’ve changed my mind slightly, my main issue is with the strap. New videos on this watch coming soon.
@@Tim2pointoh 🤔 I am pretty old at 43 and it definitely looks retro to me. I have mine on a nato strap, which is definitely more comfortable. I did only replace the strap because the keeper broke, but I agree it’s an improvement.
@@khulgarulfsson8067 I'm 50 🧙♂ LOL
800 is my fav all time Casio. Why? Get stuffed, It just is mate. I find the Royale has too much useless junk on its screen. Owners often remove all the text with nail polish remover. I’m not a fan of the little “analog” hands circles they do either. I have a DW291 with the same circle on it and it’s pretty useless and design fluff. W18 is next on my list though. Gshocks are too bulky for me when using chainsaw. The bands are too stiff and dig in to wrist.
My screen is obviously scratched. Occasionally I put polywatch on it. It just doesn’t seem to matter to me on this particular watch. The poly watch leaves behind deep scratches only and they’re a point of pride for some reason. Initially I would take this watch off and put on a diver or nice Gshock for the weekend but I just find myself wearing it most of the weekend anyway.
Ok…. Strong feelings towards this watch then 😂😂😂🤣🤣😁
Great comments especially with the cluttered Casio Royale watch.
I have one as a daily beater, paid $5.00 for it. The year is a little weird, but it’s easy to read, has a bright back light, weighs nothing, 100 m water resistant and it takes a licking and keeps working.
Have you scratched the glass?
@@Tim2pointoh I did scuffed it on the wall trying to get something from behind my bed. I didn’t know it was class from how easy it scratched but I still like it is cheap and like the big screen on it.
I think the W800H is a great watch for being as cheap as it is. If you are not afraid of doing a little bit of solder work you can enable the countdown timer and 5 alarms on it. It actually has one of the better side LED lights I have seen on a watch in a really long time. The LED is slightly under the plastic of the LCD so the light makes it from corner to corner making it almost as easy to read as an electroluminscence watch. The only other Casio watch that is modifiable like this W800H is the W96H, but not recommended since you will lose the boxes on the LCD in normal time keeping mode.
I just bought this watch today, and i think this is the watch i like the most in my small collection, with perhaps my square G-Shock tough solar Multi band 6 (10yo watch now).
I am not wearing my more expensive watches anymore, aka a black Sub ceramic bezel & a grey oyster perpetual because over time, i tend to like beeing humble and discreet more.
Showing distinctive signs of wealth is not often suitable to places, people, situations.
This Casio W-800H is to me the ultimate "don't ask me money" watch, and i love to wear this "fuck you, gold diggers" philosophy around my wrist.
Thank you for the video.
Thank you Casio for your perfect watches.
Have a wonderful day.
I love it. I bought 3 about 15 years ago for £8.50 each for a work watch thinking each might last 6 - 12 months. I work on offshore installations on heavy machinery. I use a square of helitape as a face protector every 4 or 5 years. I'm still on the first watch as it just keeps on going. Had a new battery & a strap about a year ago. Use the stop watch loads & the back light too. I wear it daily even when not working as it's worn for kitesurfing, mountain biking, snowboarding. The 100m water resist is important for me so I don't need to buy another watch for watersports. This is where the other watch loses out - 50m is no good for watersports.
Nice!
I don't own it but like it for a few reasons. It has more features than many more expensive Casios, like an alarm you can set to a specific date and snooze. With a quick modification you can even give it a countdown timer. It has 100m of water resistance so it's going to fair much better than the w218 in aquatic conditions, especially after a few years of use. Like you said yourself, it has a bigger screen and even provides a full timestamp if you want to register a moment on a photograph.
I don't agree with you calling the screen cluttered, since it's much more simple than the AE1200 (which I do own and love).
The height and strap feel like a nitpick from you, since it's only 1 millimeter taller then the AE1200 and the strap is more appropriate than trying to emulate a diver's strap like the w218 and AE1200 do.
Hi - I have to take back (a little) the screen comment but it isn’t the easiest to read. I’m not nit picking on the height and the strap / my opinion is that it has odd dimensions and proportions and the strap is rubbish.
I like the multi-function alarm (can be set as a daily, or day of the month, or a specific date.) It can also be modded to give it a countdown timer and 4 additional alarms. Also, the strap can be changed. I have the negative display one, which is a unique aesthetic.
I must get on of the negative display ones _ I have warmed to the design a little and I think the black will look much better
@@Tim2pointoh The display is quite usable outdoors and mostly usable indoors, with the backlight available if needed.
I was torn between a W218 and a W800 to complete the resin part of my Casio collection (literally running out of room for them all). Seeing them side by side, I'm relieved I ordered the W800h. See what you mean about the strap though; I can see mine getting changed.
EDIT: Picked up a W218 today. Most uncomfortable strap on any watch I've ever owned. NATO strap ordered immediately.
I love it. I have the ‘blackout’ version, on a black G-10, with black furniture, with black bull bars and a tempered screen protector. It’s a G-Shock in everything but name, at a fifth of the price AND it IS possible to change the battery, when that day comes around. It can take a real smack and puts your other G-shock to shame being a 10 bar over it’s 5 🫢. I owned a G-shock when they first come out and was mortified when the battery died as the first models battery was “embedded” and couldn’t be changed by the best jewelers in town. You’ve got the deal of the century paying 15 bux for that AND a world time. Enjoy it.
It was a great deal and I don’t mind the watch - it’s the strap that is just all wrong. I don’t mind the ideas of a nato and have since tried this on one. The negative screen version is on my “to buy” list but having to slow down in watch buying… 😂
The H800 black out is PHENOMENAL! It just happens that you bought the wrong configuration my friend. I know some people complained about the negative display but what most of these people don't know is that....we don't know how looooong to these watches have sat on shelves. I own 2 of the h800 black out install NEW batteries and was able to enable the 5 alarms / countdown timer. Is ALL one needs on a watch and for $20. BTW I swapped the negative display module from a f217 to a h218 and it looks PHENOMENAL! These both models share the same module for those that did not know!
I’m warmed to it and I DO like the negative screen version - it’s on my wish list. But when I get it I will be doing some sort of strap mod.
I knew about the 217/218 - I have actually since bought a fully black and negative display W218h - it is very cool looking.
why i like it? It has an 10 year battery, it tells the day, date, month and year at the same time. almost no other casio has this features. even the much more expensive ones are actuallly worse in my view. it is super light, it is small and decent. it has 100m water resist.... this is THE watch.
You got everything correct, my Casio friend.
This watch is a monster, you can use it in the same conditions as a G-shock and it will perform perfect but by the fraction of a G-shock
It’s pretty sturdy but I still can’t get on with it’s proportions
💯 agree.
I just wanted a rugged little watch to wear when I was doing jobs so I didn't scuff up, or damage, my more expensive watches. The second hand fell off my Tissot when I was using a hammer and cost me nearly 10 times the cost of the W800 to get it serviced and repaired. Only problem I have had, is that the clasp broke within a few months and has now been replaced by a NATO strap (cheap and easy to fit). Does everything I need and now sits on my wrist 99% of the time. Easy to read and has all the functions I need.
Size is perfect and I cannot see the purpose of having a pretend analogue face that is difficult to read, or a map of the world.
That's fair.. I'm just saying I'm not a huge fan.
I understand everyone's dislike for one model or another but I do like this one. I wear it every day. I like the rectangle running north and south rather than east and west. I also like all of the information on the screen and I know that some of it really isn't needed, just like the way it looks. Now, I could do without the dual time and I wish it had at least 3 alarms and a count-down timer. If there is a Casio out there with similar aesthetics and the features that I named, I'd like to have feedback so I can get one. Thanks for the review.
I'm thinking of getting one this week or the next. How do you find the screen since it's protruding out the top abit? Can you damage or scratch it easy? Thanks
No problem if we wear it under the sleeve...
Water resist 100M in W-800H. And two simple modifications to this watch, that add: 4 extra alarms (there are 5 in total), and a countdown timer.
All necessary information (time, full date and day of the week) are on the first screen. If you rarely use other functions, the battery will last for a very long time 🙂
But my point was I didn’t like the way it looked? I didn’t complain about the functions.
Got this watch for work in construction, used for a few months and has held up very well and I’m not afraid to beat it up unlike my more expensive watches. Great watch in my opinion
This watch is easly avaliable where i life and one of the less expensive ones. Togheter with the a163 and the A700, it was one of my first digital watches from Casio. The size, desing and color made it stand apart from the other two. the four button layout took me a little more time to get used to, than with the other two but in the end i still got it..
It looks more substantial on my wrist than the other two and while i consider my a163 a beater watch as well, the black resin hides scratches better than the chromed ones.
I, in fact, wear it while typing this comment and while i got a few more watches in my collection (an a159, a168, ae1200...) this one still sees a lot of wrist time on my way to work and free time.
The black screen version looks much better
I’m a fan of the W-800H as also the AE 1500 for taller numbers to see for . Also good watch for seniors that might need a larger number .
I like the w-800h the way it is. It's a low profile old school look. Looks clean and slim, not bulky and tire tread looking.
It’s not too bulky but it’s proportions are all wrong I think.
@@Tim2pointoh True. The Date should be bigger than the year which we don't really need so much as for adjusting the calendar. The case should be slightly bigger. The strap is a little too long for a small case. But I still like it the way it is.
The reason to wear a digital watch versus an analog is alarms and a countdown timer. This does not have a CDT (though it apparently can be nodded to reveal one.) and it only has one alarm. In a perfect world, every digital watch would have a CDT and 5 (or 10!) multi-function (I.e. can be set for specific days or dates in the month) alarms.
Maybe - I honestly think its 90% form over function for me. Its about the style and look rather than the features for most digitals
As a watch W800 is the best workhorse, biggest bang for peanuts.
I have a W-800H and I put a Royale bracelet on it yesterday. The two points that made me buy it were low cost and dual time. For my use, much more useful than W-218.
Fair statement- the watch has some great features but I’m not a fan of its proportions
This is the watch I've worn daily for the last ten years, and it's a super tough beast. Screen is scratched to all heck, but the watch body seems indestructible. The strap broke in about half a year. I hacked a NATO strap on to it, but I agree with you... It's slightly too tall, particularly with the NATO strap underneath. The current strap is showing its age and the pins have started shearing out of the plastic, so will need a new one soon. I do love the screen size and modes though. F91W is too simple and small for me, but I don't like too much chunk around the screen. Will consider the W-218H though.
Those scratches are somehow our watch identity. We may recognize it just by those unique scratches. Everybody will have their own scratch pattern. Sounds funny but indeed for me. Btw for W-218H, i can tell you, it is simply awesome. Simpler yet more practical. Eg : More protective main body (protect the buttons from unintended side push, protect the screen from scratch when flipped on flat surface, louder beep sound, better strap & better LED light in the dark). Very recommended to have one.
I just ordered one, because of the big screen. And i want to know all the stuff like the date. I also looked for g shocks but nowadays the are all analog-digital with small or inverted lcd.
If u disassemble it nd solder some 2 jumpers u can have extra: repeating timer, and 5 alarms. Also there is place for auto light. + Its possible to resolder LED to get other or brighter light.
If i recall some of older ones have also place for auto light sensor.
One of my absolute favourite Casio watches. Good size and functions.
Each to his own. It’s just not for me / thanks for commenting. Please come back again… 🙏🏼
Mine is still going strong after ten years of use. Have had 5610 and many more. Almost 50 now all I need is the time, backlight, day date and once in a while an alarm. Can’t go wrong for 25 euros. It even holds the time to a few secs a month.
I love the big numbers. If I could only have one watch this would be it. I bought mine on sale from Walmart clearance for $8. I gave it to my Mom.
You didn't even review its functions...
Hi “review it’s functions”? Very quickly I ran through the features near the start. Did you want me to review how well it tells time, how accurate the date is, or how to start and stop the stop watch?
I listed the functions, ran through them on screen, talked about the size, the style and the strap. I think I did an ok job if I’m honest.
I’m certainly not going to spend 10 mins showing how to set the time or use the stop watch.
Thanks for watching by the way / next time maybe pay some more attention.
Do you have one of these???
@@Tim2pointoh disliked the vid. u seem arrogant.

Too arrogant.. no wonder you didn't grow in yt..
I already ordered this beautiful and functional W800H. I really really like the complete date. I'll be using it as my daily watch. Just amazing.
Strangely the full date is quite satisfying 😃
I agree that the W218H is a MUCH better choice and the band really is very nice. I have a whole range of these cheaper Casios. Call me OCD if you want. But honestly, W218H is the best one and it comes in a variety of colors. I also have the Pro Treks, and a few G Shocks. The W218H is the one I wear almost every day. I really like the ones with the orange and red bands.
💯 agree
So the month and year are clutter, but a world map isn't ? 🤣 Personally I like the more classic look of the wristband, I specifically wanted the extra information, and I think it doesn't feel remotely big if you're used to regular watches. Fair point that it will scratch more easily I suppose, and I agree someone who wants a budget g-shock should go for the other one (which also looks chunkier). But I want the extra water resistance and I fully expect a cheap Casio digital watch to accumulate scratches over time - they all do, it gives them character, like a cheap version of patina 😄
The map in the screen of a Royale is decoration. The W800 screen looks cluttered with lots of similar sized digits.
Ref the height - it’s kind of out of proportion, that my main issue not the actual size of it. I’m currently wearing a watch that’s 13mm high
@@Tim2pointoh fair enough ;)
I'm a fan !
Pros:
-legible
-wr 100m
-sturdy
-good ratio quality/price
-easy to operate
-small bezel
-pleasant
-snooze alarm
Cons:
-no timer
-backlight poorer than 1200, 1600 etc

I didn’t like the strap initially, but it is easier to clean which is important for me working in healthcare. Less nooks and crannies for bacteria.
Every watch has a purpose in life 😜
I own a W800 and it's a good watch imo. The only downside for me was the strap length being too large on my small size wrist. I changed the strap to a black canvas 18mm strap and it's now perfect for my needs and very comfortable.
"if you don't like this video.." LOL I have been waiting for someone to say that about their own video haha. Good video.
I hate dislikes and no explanation 😜
100m water resistant . 10 years battery . module with High efficent battery , large and clear screen One of the most leggible display . only for 20 euro....but you dont like It beacuse Is 0.4 mm taller than a g shock? really ? you are trolling?
I don't like the proportions. Its too tall for its width in my opinion.
I have taller watches but they have a diameter or a lug to lug to match it..
Its my opinion.
I have around 30 Casio watches and I have worn this like 2x - I don't like it.
Not trolling
@@Tim2pointoh it's your opinion and that's okay. I'm sorry for that poor w800 that ended up in the hands of a person who doesn't appreciate it.
Put the 218 strap onto the W800. It makes a big difference.
Have done and it doesn’t quite suite it
I love it, function, easy to read time / day / date / light-weight / easy to mod, nylon band.
I bought a quite a lot of watches over the last few years, each of differing price points, form factors and overall quality. Personally I was underwhelmed by the F91 W. Just way too small and feminine looking for me, and I'm not particularly large. I bought the one on the left and while the strap certainly had much to be desired I much preferred its aesthetic quality and noticeable presence in comparison. I wish the resin case had ridges that protruded past the outer edge of the display just a tad bit to help reduce the probability of scratches and scuffs but overall I really enjoy the way it feels on the wrist. Very light and minimalist but still has a respectable size. However I personally think the Casio AE-1000 for the money is honestly the pinnacle of casino's more budget friendly lineup.
I find it an excellent watch, and I like everything about it.
Except - !
The straps will perish regularly and a replacement costs as much as the watch, though if you look carefully you'll find a cheaper replacement on ebay.
You can't adjust the month/date over to date/month.
Can W-218H also be jumpermodded to have 5 alarms and a timer with auto-repeat, like W-800H can?
If not, you're looking at the watches of different classes. Internally, the W-800H is much closer to AE-1200WH than to W-218H.
218h is just f91w with different casing.
I was about to buy one but I didn't know it was that thick. ... Pity. ... Anyway, I like the over-done data -- the more the better, in my book, for practical reasons and not looks.
In any case, watches should be make as thin as realistically possible.
My main complaint is the odd dimensions - the screen data is useful
The problem with the 218H is that the stopwatch timer only goes to 59 minutes, a real negative. The W-800 goes to 23 hours, 59 minutes
I agree that W800 feels "unbalanced" and also I don't like the narrow strap. And indeed it's prone to getting scratched. But overall I still like this watch. I like the looks, big screen, lots of information, huge digits, square shape.
Yeah it’s functionality is hard to argue with / but it’s looks so T work for me.
@@Tim2pointoh what do you mean by T work?
For the price, functions and aestically how it displays everything - this watch is King! 👑
10 years battery life, 100m water resist, big screen without unecessary clutter, illuminator. they also came out with a blue and brown model. only negative thing i can think of is its plain utilitarian look
I love it but I only wear it to work. Filling out paperwork all day as a despatcher I find it invaluable with the large screen and all relevant time information. I have a large wrist so the band fits nicely. I hit with polyWatch whenever I can see any scratches. Very comfortable, almost featherweight. I have 14 other watches that are better but this is always gonna be my work watch. And cheap as chips! I paid $39.99 on Amazon Australia. I have seen them for as high as $89 AUD.
I got it for a reason you did not touch on, water resistance. I got this over others in the price range because it was 100meters.
i have this watch. i like the look of the frame, it looks flat & cleaner than some of the other watches, for example that one you hold beside it in that video, the difference is then more apparent. i like the retro look, like the casio watches from the 80s. what i dont like is the year in the date in the display, instead they could have placed there the day of the week and the alarm, the time could then have been made bigger or additional features could have been added above the time display. another thing i dont like is the hourly double beep tone, i rather like a hourly single beep, but two beeps is one beep to much and annoying every hour.
its inexpensive and gives 100m water resistance, it takes showers no problem. the accuracy is ok, like 1second in 8 days. its not my favorite watch for the dislikes i have for it but for rough work its the suiting beater watch.
My opinion has changed slightly since making this video. I still don’t understand why it is SO popular but I’m warming to the display.
Honestly?this is like a micro G-Shock,its got that military look to it and compct rugged shape
I’ve gotten more used to it. Just need to find a strap that I’m happy with…
you could install the Modul of the W-800H-1BVES, with the nice full negative Display and add a protecive shield for the Display. And YES The Strap of the W-218H would definitely be an improvement.
I'm going to buy a w800 right away cos if you don't like them it means they are an awesome watch
😂😂😂
That's going against the watch grain for sure. 😂
Agree on the strap. I replaced mine to the same as you. It's so much better!
Its such a shame and spoils a great watch
Its standard. Tells a time and me being a minimalist it's perfect for daily use
Interesting review, and i take your points! ....ive had one since 2008! with the awesome GOLD tinted screen, looks gorgeous! .... and you are right about it being easily scratched with the thickness, but its not that bad, considering the weight. good practical work watch that looks cool, especially in the gold tinted screen version!
It's a classic Casio.one of their best. Like the F91w (hence the blue rim) but better in every way.
I’ve got more used to it, but still think its proportions are odd.
i like 10 Years Battery, Cheap Price, and WR100M use in Freediving. 😁 if he fall in to sea, i will not to be hurt too more
Free diving that’s so cool…
Dude just mod it and change the strap.
Dude ok - I won’t Mod it but I have since changed the strap.
However the points I’ve raised in this video are about the off the shelf model.
It’s a good tool watch modded got the count down timer.
Maybe it is you the problem & not the w800.. all comments here says they love it & I also have w800 & I love it.. it is looks good to my wrist... it is not a g-shock so it will scratch.. Solved the problem of scratching casio watch I applied nano liquid screen protector on the acrylic glass & it never scratched.. only 1 dollar per bottle of nano liquid screen protector can use for 3 to 4 casio watch with 2x applications per watch..
Update: there are now many tempered glass screen protector for w800 & different models of casios.. selling for under a dollar..
I like it. Reasons:
1) Inexpensive.
2) Lots of features.
3) 100 mts water resistance.
And that’s fine….
I have an 800 and I chose it over the 218 because the 218 is too bulky and if you want something like that just get the square G Shock, it's better. Plus the features of the 218 are the same as the W91F.
I PREFER the small, lightweight size and the crispness of the readout on the 91 vs the 218. I don't see the advantages of the 218-don't care for it. Get the 91 instead-excepting the backlight, of course.
I like the EXTRA info on the 800. And it's somewhat sleeker style. I DO agree that the strap sucks!
I think a thicker strap would have been batter here. But, since it has regular pins, getting other straps should be no problem and would correct the main shortcoming here. I also prefer the backliight of the 800 to the more orangey one in the 218.
And, the 100 meter WR seals the deal. A watch I can do whatever I want to including most water sports. A good all arounder!
Thanks for the review. I will keep mine though.
Enjoy it
Cant say I agree, I have the negative display model it looks damn cool all in black.. As for scratches they're inevitable on casios no matter how careful you're you just have to fart near a casio and it gets scratched.. I got a screen protector for mine it's pretty seamless and it saves me having to polish the scratches out yearly as I do with my other casios.. But each to their own. You're right about the strap though it is awful even for a casio..
My opinion is that even affordable Casio watches deserve mineral glass and metal clasp , maybe one day this dream became reality...😊.
@@claudiorossini-ii3hd I agree it should be an option even on the budget watches and I'd even be willing to pay the extra for it but alas I cant see it happening anytime soon..
I’ve warmed to it - but the strap is the killer for me. And ref the negative display version - I actually agree it looks great. But the strap ruins the out of the box look and it needs immediate attention.
I love it! It's offers a lot more thanks basic Casios
It is and I think I need to give it another go, but I just can’t stand that strap…
Great comments.
I tried the F91 and found it looking like a kids watch, WAY too small, and strap would only go into last hole, looked ridiculous. So asthetically w800 was the closest thing to that, in a mans size. After owning it for a while though, i realized i much preferred the module with dual time, showing time while going through functions, 2 times at once and better overall legibility. For bargain priced watches, I consider this the best casio makes, that looks clean and not too busy. I've tried unsuccessfully to find any Casio I like better overall. Well, I do Love my duros of course, which is the second most often I wear.
I also dislike the W-800. But as far as features and value are concerned, the F-201W is the all time champion. It may not look that cool, but the little fellow has got it all.
Oh well that's okay! I ordered mine for to complete my watch collection and to wear it obviously I have smart digital clock watches exept for those gear ones.....but yeah I also have a f91w and it's great but the illuminator on it is shit but I think I'm gonna like it!
I remember ordering this watch and the moment I saw it - I was not impressed-something wasn’t working for me 😅 sent it straight back.
😄 I have warmed to it a little but the dimensions and proportions are still all wrong.
got the all black one, and am a swimmer so thats enough for me to like it honestly
Pushers stick out far. Maybe accidental push possible
W800h Got all the funtions I need, durable as f (function wise), most importantly the unbeatable price.
But I do agree that the strap doesn't look good, and the non-protected screen is super annoying.
Full calendar
I don't like the w800 I LOVE IT!!.. I will just change the straps there are many straps available online for very cheap price nato, leather, rubber, stainless you name it!.. there are all kinds of straps here in my country that is selling for as low as a dollar.. & also there is a tempered glass screen protector for all casio watches & all kind of watches so no matter if it is plastic or sapphire glass the tempered glass screen protector will protect all my watches... this is the perfect budget watch in my opinion..
Fair enough!
You’re right about the height.
There is no reason why it should be that 13.4 mm tall.
Maybe the screen is thicker than we give credit.
“I don’t need to know the year, I don’t need to know that it’s May”. Just wait until you’re in your 60’s. Trust me, you will want that. 😂
I like to think I’ll be ok in my 60s but I get your point… 😜
@@Tim2pointoh I think it was about age 60 where every year for about 3 months after 1 January when I was required to write the date on a form I’d have to pause and really think about it. 🤣
And it definitely doesn’t get better from there.
I had two of these watches. I got water in both of them because the pushers are too easy to press. I have a DW291 now and you'd think with the size of those pushers you'd always be pressing them but nope. No issues at all.
Shame I’ve never had a problem
@@Tim2pointoh I used to do maintenance and the watches would always get the pushes pressed. At the time I also had the W217H which I also never had an issue with. Unless Casio stiffened the pushers on the newer models.
A watch that tells the time, date, and has alarm clock for $15? What’s not to like ✔️
After I hacked it to get a timer I thought was missing, it's pretty good.
Simple, legible, compact, inexpensive and 100M resistant ... as far as aesthetics, wearability, etc.. it just depends on the taste of the person !!! Different watches for different folks 🤷🏻♂️
Agree and this video is my opinion
Your last comment made it worth watching!
Is W91 and A1200 better than this??
Do you mean the F91w? Its not a better watch really but its more of an icon. I think the W800 is quite ugly.
I much prefer wearing the AE1200 than the W800.
Better??? Thats a personal thing at this price point.
Ya, not a fan either. Have a white 108 which is a great beach watch, just fun really. 218 for everything else. Had a royale, after the bond association wore off just found the other two were more legible and made more sense.
The blakened version of this watch is sleek...i bought one today.Nice watch for the money!
I agree - since making the video I changed my mind a little. I’m still not a fan of the strap, but the display details are great.
I’ve seen a project with the black out version on another strap and I think I could really love it then.
@Tim2pointoh the strap feels nice, but I know that I need to replace it in the future.
But I like this watch a lot. So much value! Display looks neet and I can read it ok
great video
The watch is simply a better deal. That besides the larger face and better water resistance. I think it's a better option than the g-shock wannabe.
I’ve warmed to it / but the W218h is still the better one for me.
You sold me on it. Perfect for a 7.5 inch wrist
I’ve slowly warmed to this watch
a bumper protection, but the watch will be even more bunkier
I tried it and I didnt like it.
