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.

First and foremost, I was not, in any way, shape, or form, compensated for writing this review. I find myself depending on reviews to make my decision of purchasing a product or not; so here's my contribution back to the Amazon community. As of this moment, I have had this watch for about 2.5 months. I wanted a watch that could keep track of time while I ran. This watch comes with a timer function that I use quite frequently. It's simple and does the job. I can't quite figure out if it has a split time, however. I end up just timing the total time of my run most of the time anyways. Why did I give this product 5 stars? 1) At less than $15, its price tag alone should at least interest you. 2) It keeps track of time accurately. I had no issues of it running too fast or too slow and having to re-calibrate the time. 3) It is simple. Not only in looks, but in function. I wanted a watch to keep time; I don't need it to keep track of my sleep cycle or how much I ate throughout the day like a smart watch. This watch is simple and clean and it's very easy to read too--in light or dark. 4) It is DURABLE. Over the past 2.5 months, I've been pretty rough with this thing--accidentally banging it on walls; dropping it; swimming with it (it's waterproof)--and the watch still looked as good as new while not messing with its time accuracy. I was finally able to scratch the face of the watch by sliding it 30-40 feet on the gym floor into my bag (which was stupid--I should have just walked over lol). Even then, however, the scratch isn't that noticeable and it is still easy to read the watch. If there's one thing I don't like about the watch, it's the beeping sound it makes whenever you press one of the buttons (excluding the LIGHT function). However, I realize that it's actually quite useful. For one, it gives me assurance that I pressed the button. Two, it makes a different beep when you change the mode into the main time (the beep is higher pitched)--this helps you know that you are on the main screen and not accidentally on time, alarm, or dual time mode. In conclusion, if you want a solid watch to simply keep track of time, then you can't go wrong with this one. Especially with that price. When this one dies out years in the future due to a drained battery, I would strongly consider this one again. If you have any questions, just write me a comment.

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...

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

The Casio W800HG is a great everyday watch. It’s well-built, easy to read, and the battery life is excellent — it lasts for years without worry. The functions are simple and reliable, making it a solid choice for anyone who wants a dependable digital watch. The only drawback is the watch band. Unfortunately, mine didn’t last long and eventually snapped, which was disappointing given how good the watch itself is. Overall, still a great value for the price, but I wish the strap was stronger.

I got this watch to replace an Old Timex USB watch that finally gave up the ghost on me. I wanted one that would at least have the full time (hours, minutes, and seconds) on the front without having to press any buttons to see. I also wanted, if I could, get one that had the date, day of the month, and day of the week on the front to. I wasn't as keen as having the week, etc. as the hours, minutes, and seconds. I looked first to see if they still made a watch like my old one as I really liked it and it's features and just wanted to replace it. What I found was that unless I wanted to pay an arm and a leg, I would be out of luck. That wasn't an option for me. I then started checking out the watches that I liked the look of. I found this one as I was looking over the Casio watches. I liked the overall layout and it had all I was looking for right on the front without having to press additional buttons to bring those items up so I checked it out. The price was right for me as all I wanted was one that would give me a watch to replace the old one. Got it in and checked it out. It was just about what I wanted all the way. The few minor things I ran into were want you normally hit on it getting something new the first time. The settings buttons and where things were sort of confused me for a bit until I got used to them. The watch is a bit smaller than my old one and I had to get used to that and it's lighter too. On the plus side, it has the full date, time on the front (That includes year, day of month, day of week, hours, minutes, and seconds.). It has an hourly chime, a stopwatch, and an alarm function that allows setting the alarm in a number of different ways. You can set it for the same time everyday, every other day, once a week, every other week, and even once a month too. It also has a dual time feature that lets you keep track of time in another time zone. Although the alarm is not as loud as my old watch was it is loud enough to hear easily. I found this watch to be just what I needed as a replacement for my old watch. A good buy for me.

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!

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.
