Review on CASIO W-800H-1A Wrist Watch by Janis Cerins ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

I was looking for a watch with numbers instead of hands, a backlight (to quickly see the time in any situation), a long battery life and water resistance. I wanted a watch according to the principle: put it on and forget it. The absence of the need to wind up, shoot in the pool and shower, change the battery once a year - was a priority, in addition, it was important to have such qualities as the light weight of the model, the presence of a soft strap and the display of the date. With such requirements and a budget of up to 10 I found only a few suitable models and everything is from casio (I didn’t consider G-shock because of their massiveness, even women’s baby-g seemed healthy to me. I didn’t consider Chinese crafts and noname at all) This model completely coped with all the functions. Chose it based on the reviews. I put it on my arm on February 15, 2022, during this time I took it off several times, they sit on my arm like a glove, light and after a couple of hours you completely forget about them . I constantly bathe in them, wash in the shower, work. For almost three months, two seconds behind the exact time (I'm sure I was lucky: some have 5 seconds a month, which is also not critical). Disadvantages: the strap breaks after a year or two (this is for all similar Casio straps) But the strap changes easily and you can, for example, put fabric or iron - the latches on the strap are standard. Glass is plastic, it is very difficult to break, unlike mineral glass, but it is easy to scratch. The glass sticks out above the case, so it's not difficult to scratch the model, but there is also a small plus of the convex glass, it "self-polishs" on clothes and the scratches almost disappear after a while. Tips: Do not press the buttons under water, otherwise moisture may enter. The more you unscrew the case, the worse the water protection. A model with a flesh-colored dial looks better on the hand. I wear more than six months behind the exact time of two seconds, I set the time as I put it on once, I didn’t adjust it anymore.

Pros
  • Small case compared to analogues (taking into account the water resistance). Precise move. Many years on one battery. Lightweight, do not create discomfort. Disabled signal about the beginning of the hour. Alarm. Stopwatch. Perpetual calendar. Legendary Model
Cons
  • The strap lasts for a year or two. The glass protrudes from the body. Days of the week in English, format date: year-month-day.

With its pros: everything you need to eat. Its cons: convex glass. But for this price it's ok.
