Love these,they are so light, super tough, loads of features, cheap. If you are looking at a super tough watch like a Luminox, but don’t want quality issues or want to empty your wallet, get one of these…..you won’t hear horror stories of them leaking or just stopping, you won’t hear BS stories of them being standard issue to the Navy Seals, you’ll just get a tough military style watch that will take a licking and keep on ticking. Lume is poo,the crystal is plastic, but not an issue and when the battery runs out, it stops, without any warning…..it’s only fault at the price point. One other tip is that you should try to buy one in person. The one here being reviewed has a more creamy white on the bezel, compared to the facce, it’s common issue. You can get them with matching white both on the bezel and the face. It must be a different factory thing. Don’t think about buying one, just get one, they’re great. They should just issue these to all military folk, they are that good.
@@robertwhitcomb6105 Great point, just have a look at the seal on the screw back for any damage. It should be fine for a few changes, so that will last at least 10 years and cost pennies! I've bought a whole sheet of button cells for this type of watch for a couple dollars/ pounds.
@@SerialMousewow, I didn’t know that! I love it even more. My friend knows I’m into watches and gave me a choice of 3 different Timex watches he is interested and asked my opinion to which one he should buy. I suggested this Casio and went to look for an image of it for him. To my shock I saw it for £13….. not only did he buy it….I went ahead and bought 7! I want to gift a few and sell a couple. The features are great and the clarity is insane, like it’s got a double AR coated sapphire crystal. It’ll scratch, but get some Polywatch and it’ll be good as new!
Used them during combat operations, trench conditions of life and numerous assaults withstood. Replaced the strap with a NATO one, the original one broke. Now if the battery of the ki would last for 10 years, it would be priceless. The tsasy are eternal, from the modifications I advise you to put brass bushings with threads so that the bolts do not lick the plastic threads. Then you can use this watch for the rest of your life.
Ive got one of these in black and white and one thing that has to be said about these affordable casio watches is the most important thing which is they keep accurate time and thats what its all about in a basic watch. Casio makes about the best budget quarts watches around and I like mine even better now with a NATO band which I need for muy large over eight inch wrists. Its a great value budget wastch
I purchased on of these beauty's for a Hydro Mod project I filled it with a lightweight oil I figured it was the perfect model for the mod I snagged the yellow variant and it turned out spectacularly I receive a tons comments on it and ended up selling for three times my original investment The mod took about 45 minutes and yes I will be doing anothe mod very soon the dial appeared to be printed on the crystal a Absolutely amazing I was also told it increased the water resistance Highly recommend if your into mods or just need a decent beater watch You can't go wrong Thanks for sharing my friend 👍
I'm more of a solar and G-Shock guy, but I bought this model with Orange letterings after watching that fantastic movie. Similar to my Casio Royale, I call this one my Casio Angie ...
I got one of these this week. I like the looks of it in the field but because it's new I find it impossible to set the the day and date. I find it hard to pull out the stem just one notch change the day and date. So far it's keeping good time but I wish it would be easier to change the day and time. Again is probably because it's brand new I Can Feel The Notches when I pulled out but I can't stop at the first notch
It can be a little difficult to sometimes find the right notch allowing you to adjust the day and date. As you say it may be how new it is but if you feel that it is a continual problem then it may be worth taking it back to the shop you got it from and swap it for another one and see how you get on. Cheers, Tony- WTA
I have just replaced the battery on mine after 3y I use it when I goswimming even doe I expensive dive watches in very lightweight and you can definitely see to tell the time with
You can change the crystal to a sapphire if you want to. Just measure it, order a crystal and watch a youtube video, you'll need a few tools but it isn't all that taxing. This watch has okay spring bars so you can put a whole number of different kinds of strap on it. Nylon goes pretty well. I'm not a big nato fan, but you can get some nice coloured nato straps if you like that kind of thing. In addition you can perform an oil mod on this as well, but just be aware that you'll lose some battery life (and its messy to change the battery).
Great Video ! Can someone kindly tell me the model number for the same looking watch as seen on this video, but slightly smaller size ? I'm sure i have seen it somewhere but cant find it. i think the smaller model's case size is about 37mm-38mm ? many thanks !
If you can get a screen protector for the Casio MRW-200H then it might be worth it. Alternatively PolyWatch can help get rid of most small scratches on the acrylic glass which for the money is well worth a look. Check out my video about PolyWatch and see what you think... ruclips.net/video/fVwkXxTHtAg/видео.html Hope it helps. Cheers, Tony - WTA
Lume is not good, unfortunatel, but even in dim light the white hands on the matt black background are still very legible. I fancy modding one, one day with über bright lume paint and maybe oil fill it, too.
I am not sure if Casio will release a more durable version of the Casio MRW-200H but sometimes you can get these watches as cheap as about £12! So in theory this could mean that you could buy a couple of them and when one gets all damaged and scratched up you change it for the spare one! Cheers, Tony - WTA
What use are lumed hands on a watch with zero lumed markers? Wouldn’t 11:59 look identical to 1:04, 2:09, 3:14, etc.? IMHO it sounds like Casio took ‘parts bin’ hands from another watch and stuck them on this watch without considering if they were appropriate. Or maybe they were just going for useless eye candy.
I have the small one for children because this one is too big and all the same i can easily see the time without my lins (+2,5 correction). It seem's to be the watch of jammy REAGAN in Blue Bloods.
Yeah, good lume would be great! There are some people who do.mods to open it up and put lume paint in the index markers, numbers and hands. That would be great! I like to have my digital watch on or near me at night, rather than a phone which is too bright.
I am not sure if there is but I know that Casio has quite a healthy modding community. f you search on Google you may find someone who has converted the Casio MRW-200H to fully metal case and bezel. Sorry I can't be of anymore help. Cheers, Tony - WTA
Very hard for me to say as I am not sure what budget you have, what types of watches you like and where you are looking to get one from. Personally if it was me I would look at a G-Shock type of watch with a good water resistance and take if from there. Alternatively I would ask in the Casio Forums and see what they come up with. Sorry I can't be of more help. Cheers, Tony - WTA

I have one for work. It's rugged, simplistic, and does the job admirably. A lot of watch for the money.
Simply.. One of the best watches ever made!

If you do not have polywatch, Brasso will also polish the crystal. Chrome cleaner or even toothpaste will work okay as well.
Thank you for the tip, I will give them a try as while polywatch is brilliant you only get a small tube.

Recently upgraded the strap to a black nato and it’s looks and feels so much better
this was my first ever watch as a kid and i had no idea until recently it had a rotating bezel
Excellent cheap watch, mine was in the store for a long time. When I bought it, they put a new battery. Subscribed ❤
It is a great watch to own and very sporty looking. Thanks for the sub!

The design of this watch is what 99.9% of Swiss watch makers regret not having the idea and capabilities.
Excellent video, thanks, I have one that has turned out very good, but the battery ran out. Can you tell me which battery is the one I have to buy?
ANOTHER really stupid comment....they seem endless on this thread.
If you take old one out you'll see which one you need,it's dead easy I've just done mine.
Just buy a new watch
"Casio __(model)__ Is it Any Good?"
Short answer:"Yes".
Long Answer: "Of course it is! Casio has never produced a 'bad' watch!"
It's a good looking watch which I really like. It's too bad they didn't make it a little more robust!
Very similar to the luminox navy seal watch. Much cheaper though lol
And way more reliable.
I’ve had the analogous luminox. Casio is tougher
Can you turn off the alarm sound from timer bezel? As exams don’t allow any sound. Thank you
Aw nobody got your joke. Lol I see it 👉👉

Brilliant budget watch..... How long lume stays in drak?
Dark❌
Drak✅
Not so long maybe an hour without any light
Lume is not good, unfortunatel, but even in dim light the white hands on the matt black background are still very legible. I fancy modding one, one day with über bright lume paint and maybe oil fill it, too.
Any chance a new version with mineral glass or something more durable? thankx a lot

More accurate than a Rolex... And you won't get mugged or stabbed for wearing one!!
Can't see it in dark when I wake up....only good for 1/2 the time
This would be an almost perfect watch except for one major flaw (for me anyway) - the lume in nearly nonexistent. You can't see it in the dark at all.
Yeah, good lume would be great! There are some people who do.mods to open it up and put lume paint in the index markers, numbers and hands. That would be great! I like to have my digital watch on or near me at night, rather than a phone which is too bright.

@@wetryanythingchannel thank you so much sir, that's what I've read also only the deep can go..
It can remain underwater indefinitely. It may not function very long but it will remain underwater...
I’ve had mine in ocean, hot shower, and hot tub last 5 years.
Definitely on my radar. When they step it up and make it with solar, sapphire, multiband 6, etc I definitely will get one.
Seems unlikely. They'd rather launch another one of these oversized G-Shocks with all of the mentioned features
And don't forget that Angelina Jolie wore this very exact same model while beating up bad guys throughout the movie, "Those Who Wish Me Dead".
Never knew that! It really does add to the value of how great this watch really is if they have been using it in movies!
