August 2023 - Thank you for your review. I just purchased this watch and I love it! I like the fact it displays basic information. But it also includes the YEAR! From a fashion standpoint, this watch may not start a conversation. But for watch collectors who know CASIO, it delivers great service for an affordable price.
2 new color variations just came out in December 2023. BTW: Greg , I also picked up the negative display, replaced the battery for a CR-2025 Energizer and let me tell you the display is pretty legible and clear! When we buy these cheap Casio watches we don't know how long they have been sitting on the shelves and/or where house prior to our purchase....bottom line re replacing the battery makes a HUGE difference. Also, I was able to enable the 5 alarm and count down timer on my 4 W800-h I have 2 black outs, one silver and the new blue variant that just came out this month.
This was the first Casio I bought myself as a beater travel watch. I like how the display is laid out evenly with no wasted space. It's a very cohesive design and looks better than the price suggests. It is also probably the cheapest dual time watch that's still rated 100m WR, so it's a great travel watch. I've since graduated to square G-shocks but I still have a soft spot for my W800H.
I've always thought of the W800 as a very comfy watch. Decent sized display relative to the case, especially vs gshocks, while still being pretty rugged. Thanks for the video!
Sometimes I get the feeling that when they say "Collect them all!", they're not asking🤫. I started my watch journey with Casios as well. I've made mistakes and learned a lot. So far though, I don't regret anything in my collection.
@@nivedofficial I think collectors develop their own unique buying habits as they explore the hobby. Sometimes the detours are what make watch collecting fun. I will say that G-Shock offers such an impressive selection of models and colorways that it could be easy for someone to lose sight of whether a watch fits the lifestyle and/or needs of that person.
13years with same battery and counting! Okay I didn't used it for years - light, alarm, etc - but it runs since 2010 when I bought it for cheap workhorse watch. Silicone strape broke but I put a budget NATO strap on it and that just fine (although needed some filing on the case as lugs are too short to fit a NATO strap under the spring bar).
This is a good watch for vampires who might need to know the century at a glance AND for older mortals where a 10 year battery or two makes more fiscal sense than paying for a solar watch. I'm the latter, scored one for $10.50. Thank you for the review.
Only upgrade i can think of for this watch would be automatic light, 3-5 seconds, flashing and vibration alarm, amd better lighting type. Like indiglow.. otherwise it has everything i could need in any watch at any price point.
In a normal time mode , push 3 times the left bottom button , and you can see dual and normal at same time . Then press again the same button and you are back on normal time...😊.
One feature I did not see mentioned or utilized was that you can quick return to the main time screen by holding down the "mode" button on any of the other screens for 2 seconds.
Many of the Casio watches don't have the entire model number/letter combination on the back of the watch. I'm not surprised that the "7A" isn't there. But it should have been on the package when the watch was new.
Guys, the rubber thing that holds on to the strap had started to tear, I found this out for over 5 years from now, 2019, it’s a problem that everyone of you should be on the look out for.
When I took out the modules to do “The Countdown Timer Mod” the insides of the cases were the same color as the outsides. So it seems like the colors are not just painted on.
I got that one (silver bezel variation) but not happy with; much much better the Youth DW-291H-1AVDF -sturdy like a real G-Shock- or D228 (W-737H-1A2VDF)

I think the Casio W 800 is an absolute winner 👍 thanks Greg
A count down timer is more relevant then a stopwatch and Casio needs to realize this. They should include this feature to all their watches
I Looooove this series for having all the necessary and important information (to me) right on one screen with the day in 3 letters.

The "cereal moment" did bring back memories! 😂
These are nice little watches!

Brilliant video. I liked that you finally got some professional actors to up your game.😊😊😊
Thank you Greg. Look forward to every vid 👍

can you pls state the mistakes that you learned so that i wont be repeating those mistake while buying any casio models😂 ?

Just came across Your channel, thanks for all the great Casio content. Much appreciated 👍
Awesome, exact video was looking for

You should review the Casio F-201WA and compare it to this model.
Nice as always
These are great watches. Especially the price
Is the strap longer than the one on other typical Casio, so it may not be as ideal for women, or guys with smaller wrists?
All have same LED light color?
Countdown timer hack seems great
I see: one watch for each family member....now that makes perfect sense....and different colors, too.
Great video! As usual. Your daughters are very cute, almost as your watches
Greg, on dual time, can you see both at the same time; if not, how many button presses to get to it?

@Douglas Pantera I mean if you are going through the features yes, most other 20 dollar Casio watches don't do this.
¿Can You modify these W-800 to have five alarms?
How are watches that cheap in the US? Lowest price i see in the Netherlands is €27.- (incl. VAT) at some sketchy shop
Hello my friend, what is the model number of the green and silver one?
I have got a W-800HM, it looks the same from second left. But it doesn't says W-800HM-7A

Are the buttons metallic?
Atomic
Saya punya yang paling tengah dengan LCD ber nuansa Amber Brooo👍👍👍
01:49 Min So Cute & Funny ! 😊😊😊
Are the case colors painted on?
When I took out the modules to do “The Countdown Timer Mod” the insides of the cases were the same color as the outsides. So it seems like the colors are not just painted on.
Very Good 100%
Your missing the black one
I got that one (silver bezel variation) but not happy with; much much better the Youth DW-291H-1AVDF -sturdy like a real G-Shock- or D228 (W-737H-1A2VDF)
I got the same watch
all black whit neg display is the best version...
Ok another Casio watch that i just gotta buy 🤣🤣🤣
✌🏼😎👍🏼
It’s $13 Amazon
Be careful with the W800H, it will possess you...
In my opinion, this is the most legible Casio watch 😉
funny that's watch box cost more than the watches itself
Darn only 4mins late and still not first. 🤣
grow up!
The watch looks way smaller when seeing it at the store, the band feels way too flimsy. This is a kid's watch, or for a small frame female.
