Review on Wrist watch CASIO MRW-200H-1B2 by Ada Szepelska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

For many years now I have been a fan of Orient Mako mechanical watches (yes, friends, I know that I am a rogue, and that it is better to tell time by the sun than wearing something worse than a Rolex Oyster). Lately, my faithful Mako began to sweat, and no one in my village undertook to fix them. In the end, he freaked out, decided to go over to the "electronics" camp, and still bought these Casios. Moreover, initially I had a negative attitude towards Casio: I don’t like quartz, I don’t like plastic, etc. The watch really looks very strict and solid. I didn't think I'd say this, but a black Casio on a black bracelet looks better than a shiny Orient on a black bracelet. The watch is very light. You don't see them on your hand. But with one caveat: the watch is very, just indecently thick. In summer, this is not a problem, but in winter it is inconvenient to wear them under the sleeve of a sweater / shirt. Luminophor (light-accumulative composition) on the hands and dial, consider, is not at all. Despite this, the time is clearly visible even at night due to the contrast between the snow-white hands and the black dial. The plastic glass protruding above the bezel is a fiasco. Even with a careful attitude (come on, did you seriously buy such a watch in order to blow off dust particles from them?), the glass is instantly covered with scratches. Like all quartz watches, this Casio delights with precision: quartz is quartz. The battery is listed as 3 years old. Two years have passed. We'll see when it sits down. The watch also holds water well. So, as they say: you can take! And may the Force be with you.

Pros
  • strict design (the watch looks much more expensive than its price list, though until you pick it up); minimalistic dial, easy to read even in the dark; running accuracy; humane price tag; light weight (the watch is not felt at all on the hand); water protection.
Cons
  • non-unidirectional bezel without locking; frankly cheap materials; ultra-delicate scratchy glass protruding from the bezel; disposable strap made of cheap hard plastic; very thick (really, indecently thick); the phosphor on the hands and the dial is about nothing, just to be and nothing more; not an instant calendar; there is no luminous risk on the bezel.
