I actually had bought this exact watch from Amazon for about $20 Canadian. I then got an email that the Q Timex reissue was in stock, so I canceled my order because I was much more excited about the timex lol. Still would love to pick one up, the neg display seems very legible, this is the best video I've seen of one yet!
The Timex Q is a pretty neat watch!! I really liked it when I checked one out here on the channel. This Casio is great for the price 😊👍 Really appreciate your comment!!
Bought this watch about two weeks ago. It's nice. I have several inexpensive Casios except for the F-91. I feel like I'm the only person in the world that doesn't have one. I tried to pick one up while I was out the other day but they were out. I bought the 105. It is a great little watch with a good back light. I'm still going to pick up an F91 because everyone else seems to love them. Thanks for the review.
@@OFD FYI OFD, check your Targets, square gshock for $28 w tax. What a surprise, need to scan Casios and Timexs for deal. Merry Xmas to me. Thanks for doing a great job with vids.
I am wearing my f91w at the moment an excellent little watch. The 217h though has a better wrist presence and a much better back light. If its as tough as the f91w it will be unbeatable.
Pimp'n tip. You can buy the silver with the negative display. And the classic black and blue stripe with reg display....and swap the modules and have both watches looking better imo. Black w black display and blue accent and the one in your vid with super high vis positive display. Im trying to source watch bands that have the flare like the original. Id like a blue strap. Leather or silicone but can't find a band with that flare at the end to match the case width. Also get a razor and trim the band nicely so it don't hangover...i trim mine @ the last hole-corner..angling out to the edge to make a nice shape and fit into the keeper easier. Instead of strait across
@@OFD do you know where I can source a leather band that matches the case? A strait strap doesnt,look right. Its almost like I gotta buy a whatever milimeter strap and trim it myself at the lug to fit the notch. I'm on a cheap Casio kick but I can't stand the,straps they come with. Specially the plastic buckle.
I feel like they went too big with this model, especially in relation to the f-91w. Yes, the f-91w is very small but it’s got good proportions. Something in between would be perfect. This one’s particularly too thick. And no, it’s not because they have to fit in an illuminator module into it. There are much smaller models with electro luminescent functionality.
Plot twist: I just bought one and I love it 😂 my wrist is about 7 and a quarter inches and it looks good. but that doesn’t mean a model in between wouldnt be great.
I wish watches were that cheap here in New Zealand! This W217H sells for $50. I also paid $55 for my CA-53W, $60 for my W800H, and $50 for my AE-1000W-1AVCF.
I know I am a bit late on the conversation...but ¿You do know that these both models share the same module...I swapped the negative display from the f to the 218 and it looks AWESOME! The LCD seems to be of even better quality with the fonts also being a little bigger.
I hope they come up with the positive display version of that gorgeous silver W217-HM, please Casio, hurry. I wonder if I could also get the black one (with positive display) and swap the modules with the silver one, would that work?
Only bad,,,the band is way too short, it has the Chinese watchband disease, have it on the last hole.. and it has a child function, you can make it show am/pm time, nobody does that, why wear a digital watch and do that...weird..
I don't know. It just looks like a toy. All be it much cooler than a smartwatch. It lacks any kind of refinement and elegance. The two things l associate with a timepiece. Doesn't have to be expensive. Cheers
These are great every day functional watches for a sub $20 budget. My dad has a buddy i remember would buy these type watches, wear it 3-4 years, throw it away and buy/wear another. We always laughed at that, and he laughed at our passion for mechanical watches. I completely hear you Derek, but its the 80's kid in me that still loves a digital watch! Cheers buddy 😊👍👊
"I was at Walmart and ended up in the watch area"...every time I go to Wally-Mart. LOL. Like moths to a light. Fun times with OFD Channel!
You know it brother!!😊👍👊👊

Gotta love a good affordable watch like this👍
You know it brother!! 👊😎👍
Great sized little watch, fits better than F91. Own the all black version. Also bought my first entry square gshocka couple nights back.
Sounds like you're on your way into the great world of Casio 😎👍 Cheers Frank!

Great review, it's really a nice watch! Thanks for the clear video!
Thank you for tuning in! 😎👍
The last characters do mean something. The HM is the series and number 7 is the color code B (black) V (export)
Great review! Thank you - was looking for something a bit bigger than the F91.
This is a perfect option 😎👍

You could totally wear this as a dress watch on a nice leather strap. Looks better in person
Definitely!! Great ideas and comments on this one 😎👍 Thank you!!

Been looking some at both these, the 218 in particular. I have a couple of W-216H which are about the same module but with a round case.
Next year I’d like to get one in every color way. The rose gold one is going to be the first one👍🏼
That one looks sweet!! Cheers Ray 😎👍👊
There two “rose gold” models one is B650 vintage series and the other is standard W217 in the HM series
I wish they had a Walmart here in the uk that sold watches. Here it’s either a Jewellery shop or Amazon online places to buy them in
They are a bit fun😎👍 Cheers mate
I always use Argos these days good value and I live a 10 minute walk from one.
Thanks for the vid, really helpful
Module swap between these watches would look amazing.
Don't need this but extremely tempted to buy one. They just look so good and look like a "man" sized version of the f91.
We don't need any watches if you really think about it!! 😁😆 Cheers Simon!!
If you see a 50m wr Casio just assume it is capable of 100m wr. Nice review sir.
I think that is the (almost) everybody's favorite on digital displays.
Simple and useful. Not overdone, just right 😊👍👊

It seems like nobody covers timex digital watches? Are casios better than timex watches or why is that?
Not necessarily. I've only looked at one here......maybe need to change that 🤔👍 Thanks for tuning in!

That sucks. For the price you paid for just the standard W217H is just a little less than I paid for the B650 vintage collection
I paid $4 on clearance for my W217H at wallyworld
You can get it from Creation Watches. Here in Brazil they're even more expensive so I always get it from them.

I didn't know that! That is a cool Casio mod👍😎

For a 6.5in wrist, the W217 is perfectly sized.
I want to buy a casio and this watch catch my but i little bit worried about its negative display
May i ask why most of online shops like amazon stating that the w217 is 41-42 case diameter? Do you have a idea about it?
How you set the time on it
i dont like that the light always turns on when you use that button,
Kindly review about Casio D316 LWS2200h Step Tracker 🔴🔴🔴🔴
I'll have to check it out 😎👍👊
Nice watch with low budget
Great watch channel.
🙏😁
I hope they come up with the positive display version of that gorgeous silver W217-HM, please Casio, hurry.
I wonder if I could also get the black one (with positive display) and swap the modules with the silver one, would that work?
There are 2 or 3 versions with a positive display.
Can you put a 18mm nato strap on the w217?
Yes
Wait till you get a little older and see if you gravitate toward negative displays 😎
I struggle now brother!! They just look really cool.....regardless of the practicality. I'm always using the light button 🤣👍👊
does the metal rust or lose color?
It can scratch. It's painted
hey can anybody please tell how many alarms can we set in the casio W 217 HM 7BVDF watch?
One regular alarm plus the hourly chime alarm.
@@Dr_Doe thanks
Walmart on Ingram or shaw?
Shaw 😎👍
makan tempe.mendoan, leeezat
Bad visibility of the time unfortunately. Nice watch otherwise.
I have one of these. The display is much clearer than it shows on camera. Even in a badly lit room.
wht material is the case
Painted plastic case with a stainless steel backing
I paid about €23,- for it, and it had a white box, but for the rest, the same..
15$ for this great one? damn. in Brazil it coust R$ 140 (28$)
Oh wow!!
Would look good on a Casio royale bracelet
Absolutely!!
And alarm
Only bad,,,the band is way too short, it has the Chinese watchband disease, have it on the last hole.. and it has a child function, you can make it show am/pm time, nobody does that, why wear a digital watch and do that...weird..

Got one a couple months ago, and I have to say, it looks very refined on-wrist. This, coming from an Orient owner and Rolex admirer.
@@mightbesherwood1313. I own Rolex, Orient and others. It just really doesn't appeal to me. Cheers
It's kinda funny watching Casio copying their own design to make cheaper watches.
