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… by Casio

Très bien fonctionne très bien comme dans le temps

Excellent watch. It’s the perfect size and extremely comfortable, to the point where I forget I’m wearing it. It sits fairly flat against your wrist to wear underneath clothing, and the band is soft touch plastic so it doesn’t catch or irritate your skin. The snooze alarm works great and the black screen is super classy. The green lit text is a nice touch. Overall this is a perfect watch for every day wear.

使い倒そうと思いますw

I work with powerful hand tools – screwdrivers, drills, saws – and the Casio W800HG was the perfect choice for me. The watch is perfect for my work: it is comfortable to see the time in any conditions, even when my hands are busy with tools.

One of the main advantages is the water resistance. I don’t have to worry about working in the rain or performing water-related tasks. The watch can withstand any tests.
I would also like to mention the low cost. For this price, I got a durable, functional and comfortable watch that will last a long time thanks to a battery that lasts up to 10 years. They are reliable, practical and at the same time do not require a large investment. If you’re looking for something affordable and durable for active work, this watch will definitely not let you down!

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.
