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.

Excellent watch, excellent value. Prompt shipping, well packed.

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...

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.

Good cheap watch. Low risk trying this watch. If it breaks or scratches (which it will) no big deal.

It's a good watch for the price and it keeps good time i set it to the atomic clock and in a month it only gains 14 seconds the color is military approved its light weight and got plenty of adjustment for a perfect fit the watch has a good appearance as well I got the watch to gift to a person who is going to boot camp soon

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.

This is an update to a Casio watch I have had since 2018 that is still going strong with the only difference being the contrast of the screen (traditionally a green LCD screen with black numbers - this is reversed). I have 4 of them and have swapped out the band for differently colored silicone straps that match outfits I wear. Time keeping is accurate and it is light and almost unnoticeable on my wrist. There are alarm and stopwatch functions that I don't use and haven't learned, and yes, I am one of those who uses a (non-Smart) watch to tell time in preference to digging out my phone... except if I need an alarm or timer!
