CasioMRW200H Series | Unisex Analog Watch | 100M WR | Stainless Steel Case | Resin Band | 2 Hand Analog (HR, Min, SEC) | Date Display | Screw Down Crown/Screw Down Caseback | 3 Year Battery

Being an old dinosaur, I like analog stuff. I know, I need a lot of digital stuff, but I do get sick of it. If there is anything more stupid than Apple's autocorrect and "suggested" words when texting, I hope I never see it.Doing some PT, I needed a second hand to time some of the stretches and kind of wanted a completely analog watch anyway. This was about $23, which was pretty amazing. My only complaint is that if the watch was a little larger in diameter, it would tend to slip around my wrist less, though I snug the band up a notch and this isn't a problem. The movable bezel is also handy for timing things.I have a Rolex watch that's spent the last 40+ years in the safe - it doesn't keep time nearly as accurately as the Casios I've had over that time. I started with an all digital G-shock for years (and it got serious abuse doing construction work), my son gave me an analog/digital G-shock that I wore doing construction for years, both still working perfectly, and there wasn't any question the the all analog watch was going to be a Casio. Very happy with it.

I was on the fence with this watch because 1) it is large, 2) the face looks busy. However, it met all my criteria: lightweight resin construction, quartz accuracy, lumed hands, day/date complication, low price, and decent water resistance. The short verdict: thumbs UP, just buy it! I tried a digital watch, but I just prefer the analog dial and hands. I get to see time as a fraction of a pie and sense how close I am to a specific time. There are a lot of numbers on the dial, but it is still easy to tell time at a glance. The watch looks nicer in real life; the edges are neat, printing is sharp, and the window is clear. The second hand hits the markers on mine. The strap is fairly comfortable, but the accordion section near the lugs digs into my wrist. In time, one can get used to it, but I swapped in a homemade nylon strap that is more comfy. This watch will take 18mm straps/bracelets/adapters made for the popular Casio Royale (AE1200), so there are choices in aftermarket straps. The lume is much berated by online reviewers. I suppose they are comparing this watch against the best of dozens in their collection. In that case, it fails. However, my needs are that it glows enough to tell time when I wake up in the middle of the night, which IT DOES. With dark-adapted eyes, I can see the hands and the hour markers well enough to tell time. This lasts till morning. I have not owned this watch long enough to assess long-term accuracy, but it is common for a quartz watch to gain/lose less than 10 seconds a month (the specs are +/-20s). 100m water resistance means I can shower, swim, snorkel, kayak with this watch. The bezel feels the same as on an orienteering compass. Even though it is bi-directional and friction-dependent, it is usable for non-critical applications, like cooking, exercise, or travel. It can substitute for a compass bezel if you know the boy scout trick, and be used to indicate the difference in another time zone. Honestly, if the price of this watch was $50, it would still be a steal.

Best $20 watch around/Look decent. For daily use and getting banged up.Casio qualityJapanese mvtAssembled in China10bar -100m WRNot a screw down crown.A screwed back plateDoesn’t look like $20, more like $90TimeSecondDay (alternated in Spanish overnight)DateFriction bidirectional bezel,( no detente/clicks). Serves basic purposesBlack/green , Doesn’t glow!Argh. I don’t need a battery wasting light. If just the hands glowed some.*Apparently they do on white faced versionVery lightweight. Comfortable.Good size. Not large/overwhelmingBand is a bit thin/chinsy but comfortableStupid easy to set/change.*18mm Casio Royale (AE1200), Bands fitI luv my G shocks but set up/changes are horrific. I don’t mind the $1-300 cost but am done being frustrated by resetting changes that don’t work.Durability and recessed faced glass are great tho.As accurate as most ~1min/yr.Set hands 10min forward then roll back. Do it when sec hand at 12. Press in to start when iph etc changes min for best accuracy.I will update as time goes by.

I love him! I've had this watch since 2019 and the batteries died a few days ago for the first time. I was able to change the battery and he still work!!!!!! He's carried me through emt school, ems during the pandemic and beyond, and my first hospital job. I'm hoping he'll last me through nursing school too. Best watch I've ever had. I added a picture of how the watch looks now and the kind of battery I used to make it work again. It's pretty easy to use and the color has stayed on it pretty well. I think my wrist is average size, the watch fits well and can be adjusted for smaller or bigger wrists. There aren't any buttons on the watch, but the dial works well to adjust the time and day, just look up the manual to figure out how to use it without messing up the watch. Also, the bezel can move, so it comes in handy when counting respirations or hr.

One of my hats is watchmaking and I've had Omegas and even Rolexes. Casio's are consistently high quality, durable and accurate, inside and out. How do you beat this watch for 20 bucks? You can't.I did change the strap for a fabric military strap on one or two of my Casio's but if you're working in dirty or wet applications the original band is probably better.If you want to impress people buy a Rolex, if you want a real watch that's more accurate and robust buy a Casio. I'm impressed!

This watch is very tough, I ran a Tough Mudder with it to track my time. I changed the band for a more comfortable fit, but the body was beyond sturdy as it was covered in mud and smashed against hard conditions. After cleaning it up, it has become a daily wear for me. Highly recommended if you are wanting a new watch but cant justify high price for the high quality, this is enough.
