Andrei Baklanov –
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!

Had it for a week now and the screen is all scratched up. I work on cars for a living so I assumed I was going to hard on it; why I got a budget friendly watch. I love the look the black on black is my favorite color scheme on anything. The features and buttons are easy and good. In any environment I can clearly see the screen and numbers. I have a thinner wrist so this fits perfect and doesn’t sit too high for better clearance. I would definitely buy another for the price so I can have a backup and something while I work. This watch makes me want to buy more Casios for sure.

Cheaper and less robust than a Gshock, but great value when you don’t want to wear a nice mechanical.

Always loved the classic look, just a sturdy, clean time piece on the wrist is a stylish taste to any man. It’s compact not too big, very comfortable and the screen is the right brightness even the light up light is an added touch. Great for an everyday watch or even a classy casual event. Waterproof and shower proof. Over 5/5

I bought this to replace a Casio W96-H when the strap ripped (a 10 year battery needs a companion 10 year band)- I later found I could buy a replacement band and am waiting for it to arrive. The two models are identical in function. I prefer the original with a slightly narrower profile and less conspicuous black buttons but like the flatter face of the new one. The original has slightly larger numbers on the display but both are easily readable.

I got this watch because it shows the full date, time day date month and year. It is very light and legible. It looks like a 1980’s vintage watch. The often maligned band is very comfortable. Incredible value for this watch at this price, I like it a lot.
RMNP –
Great design and reliable to boot. The band is long enough for my large wrist. Previous W800H watches had a band that got stiff after five of six years. On my last W800H, the replacement band was too short and the watch fell off because the band was not secure enough.
The digital characters are easy to read in most lighting conditions. The time seems to be extremely close to the internet values on my smart phone at all times.

Este reloj lo he tenido desde 2023; desde entonces lo he portado para casi todo a todos lados. Se ha llevado varios raspones y golpes, sin embargo no deja de funcionar y verse genial. La verdad es uno de mis favoritos.

Things to consider:
Basic Features: The watch offers a basic set of features, lacking advanced functions like GPS, heart rate tracking, or smartphone connectivity.
Limited Customization: The watch offers limited customization options, with a fixed band and a limited selection of colors.
Resin Band: The resin band may not be as comfortable or durable as a metal band, especially for long-term wear.
Overall, the Casio Men’s W800H-1AV Classic Sport Watch is a reliable and affordable timepiece that offers a good balance of features and style. Its durability, water resistance, analog-digital display, chronograph function, alarm function, and backlight make it a practical choice for everyday use. However, it’s important to consider its basic features, limited customization options, and resin band before making a purchase.

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** 12/12/23
I 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 fast
01/19/23 6:18PM – 5 seconds fast
02/22/23 12:48PM – 10.5 seconds fast
04/15/23 9:00PM – 18.5 seconds fast
05/08/23 8:22PM – 22 seconds fast
06/27/23 12:52PM – 30 seconds fast
09/06/23 8:15PM – 41 seconds fast
11/05/23 7:18PM – 51 seconds fast
12/11/23 9:55PM – 58 seconds fast
This 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.
