this watch will not let you down
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!

Coming up on 3 years since purchase and still going strong.
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** 12/12/23I 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 fast01/19/23 6:18PM – 5 seconds fast02/22/23 12:48PM – 10.5 seconds fast04/15/23 9:00PM – 18.5 seconds fast05/08/23 8:22PM – 22 seconds fast06/27/23 12:52PM – 30 seconds fast09/06/23 8:15PM – 41 seconds fast11/05/23 7:18PM – 51 seconds fast12/11/23 9:55PM – 58 seconds fastThis 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.

Beautiful Watch
This watch is obviously very well made, with a really sleek look to it. The negative display is definitely a different look and can be hard to read in low lighting areas, but the backlight helps with that. Iâve had no issues reading the face in well lit areas. It was easy to adjust the date / time. Canât go wrong with a Casio. This is brilliant every day watch!

This is the second time I’ve purchased this watch.
This is the second time because the wrist strap broke and I lost it. This is a tough watch for most uses that you can wear every day and just forget about. It works. It has everything I need in a watch. It withstands getting banged into things, being hit and all the temperature, liquid, and whatever that I’ve put it through over the years and kept going. For an inexpensive watch, it looks nice as well.I only gave it four stars because of the watch band. The band looks nice, it’s comfortable, doesn’t catch on much and lasts a while. However, over time it gets hard, then brittle. This is due I believe to body heat slowly causing a change in the material. Or maybe it will get that way eventually on it’s own. Then it will break. The keeper usually goes first, then one side or the other of the watch band.Amazon has replacement keepers and bands that match this watch and they aren’t expensive to purchase and the new bands come with the tool to change the spring that holds them in place. I now have several of them. And, since they break one side at a time, you only have to change one side at a time. You don’t need to change the whole band.I easily recommend this watch if you are looking for something inexpensive that just works and keeps on working. Learn to replace your own band and the cost over time will still give you better value over more expensive watches.

Worth for daily use
Easy to set up: Function for day, date, month, year, time, alarm, stopwatch, dual time, illumination. Easy to see. Claim 10 yrs battery life and waterproof. Good deal purchased during black Friday. Arrived next day.

Doesn’t Have Countdown Timer
The watch is old school and the all black is awesome. Easy to operate and see in any light. However, the description stated it has a countdown timer which was the specific feature I was looking for. Unless there is a secret code, it does not have a timer. The watch gets five stars, the description gets zero.

Good price my favorite overall Casio model
These are some of my favorite Casio watches. I like the style, sturdiness, water resist, snd longevity. Only downside is the screen scratches easily and itâs hard to find a screen protector. I plan on keeping all my Casio watches and replacing the batteries myself.

Este reloj lo he tenido desde 2023; desde entonces lo he portado para casi todo a todos lados. Se ha llevado varios raspones y golpes, sin embargo no deja de funcionar y verse genial. La verdad es uno de mis favoritos.

Just a great product, solid, water proof, great for the price.
by C Hamm
Cheaper and less robust than a Gshock, but great value when you donât want to wear a nice mechanical.
