CasioW218H Series | Men’s Digital Watch | 50M WR | 1/100 Second Stopwatch | 100 SEC Chronograph | LED Backlight | Countdown Timer | Daily Alarm | Hourly Time Signal | 7 Year Battery

I grew so tired of my smartwatch dying. I hated having to charge it, it needing an update, not connecting to the internet and finally the battery only lasting 1 day. I purchased a previous watch before from Casio but it was too small for my wrist. Recently my Fibit wouldn't hold a charge and the battery would die after wearing the watch for 8 hours. I didn't want to spend another $200.00 and I was over all the useless technology I wasn't utilizing so I gave it another go and I'm surprised to say I love my new watch and after modding it....total cost was around $60.00 bucks. Switch the strap to a nato, protective bars, and adapters for a 22mm strap. This looks so cool. Gives off a military vibe and looks expensive. The date and time are super important to me because I work in health care. Im glad I switch back to an old school watch. I hate that everything has become over complicated with technology. You have to charge everything. I think from here on out I will be owning a casio. You can't beat the price and you can customize it to fit your vibe.

Casio is a very popular brand of watches and an affordable one at that. I bought the Casio Illuminator Digital Sportswatch in light pink for both its aesthetic and its convenience. It cost me about $16 dollars and I use it nearly daily. I am sure I have only removed my watch before going to bed and when I shower, otherwise it is on my wrist ready to deliver me the time.The product itself fits around my wrist with ease as there are multiple points of adjustment. Unlike today's smartwatches, this serves one purpose: to tell me the time. I can respect that sort of goal. It also has a timer and alarm feature that works well with its format. I seldom use the timer feature but the alarm alerts me whenever the hour changes, which I find good. There's a setting to change to a 24hour clock, my preferred method of reading time.However, there are some issues with this watch in particular. Though these features may be implimented in different Casio models, I will only reference this particular watch. When setting up the time or the alarm, there is no option to go back in time if one were to, let's say, accidentally set an alarm one hour after their preferred time. One would have the click the button several more times to get back to where you started and god must hate you if you skip past it again in your haste. Another worth noting is that the button to change the hour/minutes is the same as the light button, meaning it flashes every time one presses down again. It is a mild grievance but one I do not enjoy. Speaking of the flash, it only lights for as long as you press it. It would've been better if it were a toggle with an internal timer to turn off after a couple of seconds or minutes rather than immediately turning off.However, these are mild things and I enjoy the product very much. I am sure that the features I have listed are not unique and are put into more expensive, high-end digital watches. For $16, it is a good, affordable watch that provides value to the consumer. I'd give it an A.

What can I say!!! CASIO is the UNDISPUTED GOLD STANDARD of electronic watches. This particular model is one of the most popular ones that Casio make. It looks elegant on the wrist and tells time accurately. The colors, the text on the watch and the highly readable and friendly LED display - all come together perfectly in a simple, practical, accurate and easy every day watch. Highly recommend. This should be in every watch lovers collection. I might get a few others in different colors to go with all my work outfits.

Update: 5 stars. I've bought a couple watches since sharing my original opinion and decided this is actually a really nice watch for the money. Excellent for viewing at an angle. The strap isn't bad once you get used to it. The screen is resin but image is clear and numeral size is larger than my recently purchased G-Shock. Buttons are easy to press.Negative.I would prefer a softer strap. These type straps aways seem too tight or too loose. The G-Shock is the same though at much greater cost. The watch face isn't recessed and that worries me since it's not mineral glass it will likely get scratch up. On a positive, it is lightweight and has a light. Comparison photos are between between DW5600E-1V and SGW100B-3V

Good size, light weight, and easy to setup. I don't like that you have to hold the illumination button for it to stay lit. But overall a good watch for work or everyday use.

Nicely made appears durable so far. Bought to use when volunteering atca facility where durable and inexpensive accessories are needed. I paid just $16 for this watch that came equipped with an already installed 7 year battery. Great value and functionality overall.

I mainly bought this for my work and it works great. It’s simple but can go well and match with any of my outfits. It’s a good add on accessories but also useful to check on time for my work breaks.

Love it, not too big, not too small, looks like a gshock 😉
