Review on Wrist watch CASIO MRW-200H-1B2 by Ivana Bohmov ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

I have been a fan of Orient Mako mechanical watches for a good number of years now (yes, my friends, I am aware that I am a rebel, and that it is preferable to tell time by the sun rather than wearing something that is worse than a Rolex Oyster). My dependable Mako have been sweating more frequently as of late, but no one in my town has offered to fix them. In the end, he lost it, made the decision to go to the "electronics" camp, and continued to purchase these Casios despite his change of heart. In addition, when I first started using Casio products, I had a bad opinion about the brand since I dislike quartz, plastic, and other materials. The watch gives off an air of being highly authoritative and robust. I never thought I'd say this, but a matte black Casio on a matte black bracelet is more attractive to the eye than a shiny black Orient on a matte black bracelet. The watch doesn't weigh much at all. They are completely invisible on your hand. But there is one important disclaimer: the watch is extremely, almost immodestly thick. It is not a problem to wear them under the sleeve of a sweater or shirt in the summer, but doing so in the winter might be cumbersome and uncomfortable. Luminophor, also known as a light-accumulating composition, is not present at all on the hands and dial of the watch. Despite this, the time can be read off easily even when it's dark out because to the stark contrast between the dial's black color and the hands' snow-white color. A catastrophe has been caused by the piece of plastic glass that protrudes above the bezel. Even with a cautious approach (come on, did you really buy such a watch so that you could blow dust particles off of it? ), the glass is immediately covered with scratches. This Casio, just like every other quartz watch, will delight you with its precision since quartz is quartz. According to the label, the battery is three years old. There has been a delay of two years. When it finally takes a seat, we'll know more. The watch is also very good at retaining water. They have a saying that goes, "you can take!" And may the power of the Jedi be with you always.

Pros
  • rigid construction (upon first glance, the watch appears to be significantly more expensive than the price that is listed for it); a dial with a minimum of markings that is legible in the dark; precision in one's running; reasonable asking price; little weight (the watch is barely felt at all when worn on the hand); protection against water.
Cons
  • very thick (really, indecently thick); the phosphor on the hands and the dial is about nothing, just to be and nothing more; there is no luminous risk on the bezel; the bezel does not have a non-unidirectional bezel with a locking mechanism; materials that are, to put it bluntly, of poor quality; ultra-delicate scratchy glass that protrudes from the bezel; a disposable strap made of inexpensive hard plastic; and so on and so forth.
