- For a more detailed review of this watch, see my other video here. • Casio DW291H In Depth ...
The DW291H is a "Heavy Duty" or HD watch from Casio featuring 200 meter water resistance, a 10-year battery (CR2025) and other characteristics similar to G-Shock watches. It also operates just like the popular "Casio Royale" AE1200 watch and the AE1000. Other features include quick access to four time zones in the main timekeeping mode, a separate World Time mode, a 24-hour stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer (which can be set to a specific hours, minutes AND seconds countdown), an hourly time and five daily alarms. There's also a very small analog clock on the display which will always show the local time even when other modes are accessed.
The DW291H uses module 3484 and the complete instructions are available to download from Casio's website.
What a great watch the DW291 is! One of the best models Casio have ever made, and excellent VFM too.
One of my favourite daily watches
Bought the red version a year ago for 18 euros and is one of my daily watches for work. Best quality/functions/price that you can find. Very comfortable. Inside it has a steel ring protecting the module plus mineral cristal and double gaskets in the pushers. Probably is more shock resistant than some fancier G-shocks.
Casio watch collecting is a addiction. I completely understand how Greg feels when he says " I still might go get the other one". I have so many models in various colors , especially my collection of Casio Riseman GW-9200 , Casio Rangeman GW-9400 , Casio Gravitymaster GR-B100 and Casio Mudmaster GG-1000
Addiction is such a negative word. I understand that people use it in a less-serious way when they talk about watch collecting but, I don’t know. It’s a hobby.
@@GoodTimekeeper I agree. It is “word inflation.” When we use big words for little things we no longer have words for big things. Words like “love,” “hate,” “enormous,” “unique,” “shocking,” etc. are losing their power. If you can take care of your family and pay your bills and put money aside, you are not “addicted” to watches. If you are living under a bridge with five Rolexes, maybe you have a problem.
Now, if I replace “addiction” with “increasingly fun and rewarding” then… am I kidding myself or just telling the truth? Hmmm.
Enjoying the red version. Thank you for your review.
Just discovered your channel! For years I have been collecting mechanical, mostly automatic watches and totally disregarded quartz including Casio. I took the plunge a few months ago as I do a lot of trekking and mountaineering and wanted a tougher watch. So first got a G-Shock GA-700-4ADR, nice functionality and very tough. Really liked it. Then a few weeks ago I got a G-Shock Mudmaster GG-1000-1A3DR, with temperature, compass and all the other usual functions, and I can't take it off. Brought it trekking in the Taurus Mountains of Turkey and it took all the punishment without any damage at all. The only weakness was a mineral crystal but I got myself a sapphire glass crystal protector on it, totally invisible but saves it from scratches. I've suddenly become a Casio fan! Look forward to seeing your other videos.
I've not seen the sapphire crystal protectors. Are they specific to certain watches to fit right? Could you put a link to it? Thanks.
Great instructions on how to use the watch as always. Thanks
I picked up the red one last year big on the Wrist but Comfortable very easy to see and use the looks remind of a robot from the movies in 60s
This is an awesome watch for the money. I chose the red color way. The strap is my only worry-point re its durability as it seems a little plastic-y to me but will cross that bridge if and when.
Happy New Year Greg, I enjoy your videos.
I wasn’t too happy with Casio straps in the 1980s and 1990s but these days, at least, it seems like I can find replacements pretty easily. With any luck, this watch’s strap will last a long, long time anyway.
This is my everyday go-to watch. It has all the critical mass functions I need, is easy to use, and adjust, it's comfortable to wear, and is well put together. Can't fault it at all, and especially not given the great price. It has relegated a considerably more expensive digital watch to a drawer.
Have you ever seen the Casio ae 1500 wh 1 av? It is listed as a “youth” watch, not as tough as a G shock, but the most legible face imaginable. Under $20.00.
Hi Gregg..I ordered the red one! It's on Amazon for under $29.00 today.
Chunky fellas them! I reviewed the standard one but I've never seen the red variant before though
NICE WATCH I JUST BOUGHT ONE TODAY AT WALMART SAME PRICE 35 BOX CASIO WATCHES IS JUST AWESOME NICE VIDEO KEEP MAKEING MORE THANKS
Hey Greg, I added the grey one to my collection about a year ago. I thought it looked quite ugly on the Amazon picture but in real life, I just love it! It's a beater too.
I’m usually pleased to find that Casio watches look better in person than they do in the official photos.
Currently it is on sale for $16.99! I just ordered mine.
I’ve got the gold light, watch is all black. Love it.
There is a new version of the dw291 Greg. It has a desert tan band with a double tang buckle. Its a great watch.
very good review.
Have you ever looked at the AE-1500? Hugh LED display, best negative display I've seen. Looks like a G-Shock but 100m water resistant. I got mine at Walmart.
I will have to take a look at that.
You should try to test water resistance on these and others. People pretend like anything less than 200M can barely go in water- why not take a gamble and toss anything with a WR rating in a bucket of water or the bottom of a pool?
I’m imagining something like a 10-gallon aquarium and I just dump a few dozen watches in the water… then pull them out one by one.
I've taken my Casio W-737H-1AVCF Scooba diving and it held up perfectly. Was in the water for 40 minutes and dove down about ten feet with it multiple times. Not bad for a $20 watch. The DW291 should be way more capable I think. It would be cool so see someone actually put the 100 meters and 200 meters to the test on these more affordable Casio's.
Oh guys, the 2Av and the 1Av, he’s missing the 9Av which is like the best looking watch still!
Thank you
I have the Red One and very much annoyed with the small analog clock which is illegible and useless.
Otherwise, Great Watch!
I was thinknig of getting one of these anyone know what the max wrist size is?
I picked up the same watch from Walmart its a very hefty watch fir the price
The B-9
Great watch, but it just reminds me of Shrek too much.😀
Casio watches are ment to be a beater.
Its tougher then you think
It looks like for heavy duty, it is not.
