MRW200H 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

For the price, this watch punches far above its weight. It’s an ideal everyday “grab-and-go” piece—extremely light, comfortable, and easy to forget you’re even wearing. Visibility is excellent thanks to clear numerals on both the dial and bezel, making time checks effortless. Minor scratches aren’t a concern since they can be polished out easily, and the Japanese quartz movement has been exceptionally accurate, outperforming expectations by a wide margin. Despite being the least expensive watch I own, it’s the one I reach for most often. I was initially hesitant due to its larger case size and the busy appearance of the dial, but those concerns disappeared once I started wearing it. The lightweight resin construction, reliable quartz precision, luminous hands, day-and-date display, affordable cost, and solid water resistance checked every box for me. In short, it delivers exactly what it promises and then some. I prefer analog watches because they allow me to visualize time naturally rather than reading digits. Even with multiple markings on the face, the layout remains intuitive and readable at a glance. In person, the watch looks better than photos suggest—clean edges, sharp printing, and a clear crystal. On my example, the seconds hand lines up accurately with the markers, which is a nice detail. The strap is soft and wearable, though the ridged section near the lugs wasn’t ideal for my wrist. I eventually swapped it for a NATO strap, which improved comfort for me. Fortunately, the watch accepts standard 18mm straps, including many aftermarket options designed for popular Casio models. The lume gets criticized online, but for my needs it’s sufficient. I can easily read the time in the dark after my eyes adjust, which is all I require. It may not compete with high-end lume, but it gets the job done. Water resistance is more than adequate—I have no concerns wearing it while swimming, showering, or doing outdoor activities. The bezel operates smoothly and, while not meant for precision timing, is perfectly usable for casual tasks like workouts, cooking, or tracking time zones. Accuracy over the long term has been consistent with what you’d expect from a quality quartz watch, rivaling far more expensive brands. Despite having a smaller wrist, the watch doesn’t look oversized. The ticking is nearly silent—you have to press it close to your ear to hear it at all, unlike some other analog watches that are noticeably loud. Build quality feels solid while remaining feather-light, and the matte finish adds a modern touch. What truly sets this watch apart is its functionality: accurate timekeeping, clear day and date display, dependable water resistance, and durable materials—all in a single, inexpensive package. I’ve owned much pricier watches, yet this one gets more attention and compliments than many of them ever did. In summary, if you want a reliable, comfortable, feature-rich analog watch that costs next to nothing and simply works day after day, this is hard to beat. It’s practical, tough, and surprisingly refined for the price. If value matters to you, this watch is an easy choice.

For the money this watch is an excellent value. It is better than what you often get for many times the price. I started wearing Casio because by job is hard on watches. I have broken every expensive watch I have owned. Casio G-Shocks I own have lasted a decade + and what always breaks is the band which are often hard to find replacements and costly. I really only need time and date and not the extra gadgetry so this watch is a perfect solution. The band is simple to replace with a variety of options at different prices that are readily available. It is a very attractive watch and is easy to read. My wrists are on the smaller side and it wears well. The only potential negative I see is that the bezel is flush with the crystal and offers no protection. I would love to see Casio make this with a taller bezel, solar and a backlight. It is light and comfortable. I cannot speak on the durability yet but If you are on the fence just buy one. You won't be disappointed.

It's the least expensive diver style watch that I've found from a reputable brand that has a rotating bidirectional diver bezel and more than decent water resistance at 100m. It looks great and is functional - although I wouldn't do any serious diving with it. Watch diameter (minus crown) is 43mm and is 11.5mm thick. It's smaller than the Duro and wears more like a large field or pilot watch than a thick Gshock watch. The only downside are the straps. When compared to a Gshock strap (3mm) or an Illuminator strap (2mm), it feels thin at 1.5mm. They feel cheap and flop around but they are functional. If you want to replace it, you'll need an 18mm width strap. NOTE: While the watch is great, I'm taking a star off for the inaccurate title: - Case is resin/plastic - it is not stainless steel - It is not a screw down crown - it is your typical push/pull crown - It is not a screw down caseback (like on the Duro) - it is a stainless steel caseback held down with 4 screws

I needed an inexpensive watch for a road trip that would give me the day and date and allow me to add a small compass to the band. Having had several Casio watches in the past I looked at that brand first. At first, I ignored this watch, because it was so inexpensive that I figured it couldn’t be worth anything. However, after looking at several more expensive versions I returned to look at the reviews on this watch. There were enough good things said about this watch that I decided to buy it. I figured that for the price of a few gallons of gas if it only lasted a month it would have met the requirement that I had for it. I got it several days ago and set it up immediately. Like several other reviewers have indicated, getting the day and date to change is a bit of a challenge initially. I resolved that by winding the minute hand past the point where I saw the date change and then continued to move that hand to after 5 AM. It was very easy to set the date and day at that point. Once I had it set up, I set the time using the Verizon time on my iPhone. I set the hour; the minute; and the second. Four days later the watch has not lost or gained a second. So it gets an A+ for accuracy. This watch is not a rugged watch but it appears that it will hold up to getting wet in rain or from perspiration and it will probably work pretty well in the humid environments. The numbers and markings on the face are very easy to see in the daytime. However, there are no luminous features on the markings so seeing it at night requires a light source. The battery claims it will work for five years in this watch. I doubt that I will be back to confirm that. The only negative comment I have is that this watch is made in the land of the Great Wall and surveillance balloons. I can’t understand why a company like Casio can’t come up with manufacturing locations in central and South America. *UPDATE* 8/4/24 - I have had this watch for a week and I am amazed. Either Verizon uses this watch to run their system clock, or this watch is tethered to my iPhone’s clock, or this watch has perfect time… Whatever it is, the watch has not lost or gained one second since I set it a week ago. For just over $20, even if it breaks down in a year, it is worth it for an outdoor or work watch. I would not hesitate to buy one again. *UPDATE* 12/18/24 Okay, here is an update that I really never figured I would make. This watch is as good, if not better, than my old Casios that crapped out after years of Army living in the field or my dress watches made by Seiko (the official timepiece of the Vietnam War). Other than the lack of luminous face features this watch is fantastic. It got a pretty good workout on the extended trip that I bought it for. It survived several soakings, jarring and long periods of extreme vibrations. The mechanical functions are still tight and the time is incredibly accurate, losing only a few seconds per month. So my advice is go ahead and buy one. If anyone from Casio is reading this I would suggest adding small tritium capsules at each hour on the face and tritium on the three hands, jack up the price a bit and sell it. It would be a great watch.

What a lovely watch - never knew a bezel could be so useful. Can read the dial without my glasses. Great value for money.

This watch is built dirt-cheap. I expected that much from a $18 watch. I was still disappointed, because I was under the impression Casio was above this. Honestly, if it broke before the month is over, it would not surprise me any. While I didn't like the cheap build, I'm not gonna lie, I really liked the look of this watch, especially considering the price. It is also the easiest of the analog watches to tell time. I did come close to giving this watch a one star. After I had already placed the order for the watch, I noticed some one star reviews noting the defective calendar dial. I didn't worry much, considering how few one star reviews this watch actually had on Amazon. I got mine delivered just today, and indeed, my 'day' setting was stuck & would not move. As I set everything else, I kept playing with it. Turning the crown slow, fast, slow while pressuring the crown in-out-up-down, you get the idea. Behold, it did start to show some movement, so I kept playing with it. After I spun that crown couple hundred times or so, really fast, the dial became unstuck. It is functioning perfectly now. P.S. Watch I received is "JAPAN MOV'T", "CASED IN CHINA". ***UPDATE*** 2/8/13 I really like this watch. It is the cheapest watch I own, but I wear this one almost everyday. It has performed perfectly, and it has been highly accurate as well. I got it in September, it's February now. If it's still this good next September, I'm gonna have to give it five stars. ***UPDATE2*** 9/27/13 As promised, I'm bumping it from 3 to 5 stars. Not that I've put it thru a torture test, but it has performed perfectly as a daily wear watch thru some exposure to water(never submerged though), and plenty of tossing & bumping around. I got more than my money's worth. ***UPDATE3*** 12/8/14 Still performing perfectly, even after 2+ years. Keeps very accurate time, too. My first impression of this watch was dead wrong. ***FINAL UPDATE*** 3/12/15 I originally purchased this watch knowing that its design borrowed heavily from the Luminox Navy SEAL watch. I finally bought that Luminox couple of months ago when I misplaced this Casio. I've found the Casio since, but I no longer wear it for obvious reasons, so this would be the last update of my review. I guess I used this watch for nearly 2.5 years, and other than the defective calendar dial I wrestled with at the start, it's been 100% problem free. Even the band/strap's still in perfect shape, and is powered by the original battery it came with. Well done, Casio. :)

Casio is usually a very reputable brand. I purchased this watch a year ago for the times I need an analog watch instead of a digital. Paid just under $30. The adjustment stem feels lose and the watch is a bit tedious to adjust the date/day. The diver style bezel moves without difficulty. The watch hands barely hold a glow charge from a light and are difficult to read in the dark; It would be worth getting a TIMEX with a back light option. The bands feel cheap and have started to wear down after 6 months of continuous wear. The battery and time keeping are good, and the watch has maintained accuracy. The water resistance is still good, with never taking it off during showers or swimming. The plastic body feels cheap and I believe the face and body will scratch and break from getting knocked around the gym during regular wear. For a more sturdy option at a similar price, I would invest in a TIMEX expedition series.

The title is not hyperbole; this watch really is quite literally the very best watch in the world for the money. Let's do a quick run-down of its features: 1. Tells time 2. Tells day 3. Tells date 4. Water resistant to 100m (330 feet) 5. Solid plastic/rubber construction 6. Glow in the dark dial and numbers We'll take it by the numbers. 1. Tells time. This is the minimum that this watch should do. In my experience, it tells time as accurately as my Citizen and Seiko watches that cost hundreds of dollars more. 2. Tells day. This is a big deal. This watch actually tells you what day of the week it is. It may not sound like a big deal, but when you get older, this is a very important feature. 3. Tells date. Most watches of some quality will do this, but to do so with the day as well? In a watch this inexpensive? Holy calendars, Batman, this watch does BOTH! 4. Water resistant to 100m. Unless you're Jaques Cousteau, you're not going to find yourself alive 100m below the surface of the water. This watch will still be ticking even if you drop it into the lake or swimming pool, or if you take a swim with the fishes under the pier. If it's the latter, at least you can look at the watch and know the time of your demise. 5. Solid plastic and rubber construction. This is a good deal. Why? Because it weighs so little, you don't feel it's on your wrist. It's also a nice matte finish which is quite stylish these days. 6. Glow in the dark dial and hands. This is a great thing. In my experience, it glows bright and long after a light source threw some photons at it. What's better is in the scenario above, where the watch wearer finds himself swimming with the fishes under the pier, if it's dark, the glow in the dark dial and hands will aid and assist in visibility if it's dark (and water gets dark the deeper you get). To sum it up, for the price, you cannot get a better quality watch with this many features. I tried. I looked for days and days, and while there are cheaper watches out there, they cannot match the quality or the features.Trust me, this is the best deal in time/day/date telling wrist-wear. Final comment: I've worn expensive watches all my life, and when I had to put them all into the watch hospital for repair, I bought this watch so that I can at least tell time. Do you know what happened? More people noticed this watch and commented on its awesomeness than they did when I wore my much nicer and more expensive watches. Not that I wear my watches to get comments, but if I did, this one would have been a much better return on my money than the others. I hope this review helps. Bottom line: if you need a watch that does it all for under $20 and will last and last, then buy this watch. If you want to throw money away, then look elsewhere. This might very well be the best deal in the universe.
