The BEST Casio watch. A Must Buy Watch! It won't disappoint you!!!
Looks great, feels great on wrist, very lightweight, and the alarm/timer/daytime savings functions work perfect. 10/10 watch for such an affordable price. Easy to set up. Different types of alarm options its nice to have different options. The all black theme makes it look more expensive than it is and having a perfect size for the wrist not too big or too small just in the middle.

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!

Great timepiece, but band doesn't last
UPDATED AT THE END***This Casio rocks. I read up on watches for a few weeks (yes, I'm neurotic like that) before purchasing. Even checking out $120 Seiko Automatic watches, et cetera. I settled on this digital watch because it is a die-hard, long-lasting, easy-to-use, and easy-to-read watch.A few months later? I am stoked!Let's address the elephant in the room first: The lens scratches easily. Yes and No. It does get scratched when I bang it hard against drywall or concrete while I'm working. But it is SUPER easy to fix. I just put a dab of toothpaste on a cloth and rub it against the lens for a few seconds, then rinse it under water. The scratch is gone. I've done this twice now and the watch looks brand new.The display is bright at night. The alarm wakes me up. The watch itself has only gained 2 seconds over the course of 3 months (I check it against an atomic clock everyday at work.)I would recommend this watch to anybody that isn't too proud to rock a durable little digital wristwatch. The display is amazing: Show the name of the day, full date, time (including seconds), as well as whether the alarm, snooze, and signal modes are activated. Comfortable band, doesn't get smelly like leather.I have HUGE wrists. I'm 6' 3" and have large hands and this watch fits me great. Could easily tighten up several notches for people with normal sized wrists.It's not that classy looking, but it is a tank. I feel naked if I leave the house without it now. Just like my pocketknife.***UPDATED***Band is crap. Time piece is still great. About 2 years after purchasing the band completely fell apart. I kept it together with super glue and electrical tape for about the last 6 month's of the band's life. It cracked and split A LOT. The watch itself will last for years, but not on my wrist, unfortunately. It is cheaper to buy another watch than to get a replacement band. Is this what economists refer to as Planned Obsolescence?***Another update: after 3 years the barn is toast again. I will keep buying this watch. I'm in love with this model. I have no doubt the timepiece will last for the full ten years as advertised. The bands are 3 years tops. I still have my older watches from years past relegated to backpacks and glove boxes.

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.
