Review: Takes F91W's Lunch Money; Buys W217H With It - I've always had poor punctuality. I don't want to, I just wasn't raised right in some ways and am undoing some bad habits. I've never owned a watch before and the idea of a smartwatch is unappealing to me- I want to be LESS plugged into screens, not more. This is my first watch and it's helping my on-timeness. I want to look at it because the black and dusty gold are so visually appealing to me, along with the '90s digital aesthetic. Looking at it so often keeps the time ever in my mind, as does the hourly beep feature. I've got bad vision and the larger digits than F91W are perfect for the distance from my eyes to my wrist without making for too big a face. I don't think I like visually striking watches and the size of this case is perfect for my wrist and style. It doesn't feel like you spent $300 on it, of course, but in terms of build quality, it feels like you spent more than $30 for sure. I'd compare it to Koss headphones- it probably won't last forever, but it'll last for years if you take care of it and when it comes time for replacement, who cares? It's $30. That value proposition is unbeatable in my opinion. The box is the classic blue and white Casio packaging and included is the plastic store display stand- nothing pretty, but still thoughtful packaging in my opinion. Setting up the watch is beginner friendly and straight forward with the included manual. I got the buttons figured out mostly without the manual in around 5 minutes and I've never set up a watch before. Switching between 24hr and 12hr time is handy for my line of work. The alarm and stopwatch functions are intuitive and useful. The featureset and design are truly everything I need and nothing I don't as I'm not a jetsetter, a diver, a stockbroker or a sailor. The backlight is bright and an attractive amber color on the black with gold line model (hold to illuminate). The buttons are easy to find in the dark and easy to press without being accidentally pressed to easily once you get used to wearing a watch. I've ordered 18mm lug width adapter brackets for mine and replaced the stock band with a NATO G10 band that I find a tad more attractive and infinitely more durable according to reviews. I got the adapters here on desertcart for $8. The quick release pins that came preinstalled with the stock resin band attached seem to be of better quality than the aftermarket ones available on desertcart. They came out and went back in smoothly without damaging the resin case or their mounting holes. I really do think the stock resin band is attractive enough, especially for what you pay, but it did make my wrist sweat, I've heard they crack and crumble with time, and I just like fiddling with stuff to be frank. If you're looking for a sub-$100 watch, I'd save your money, skip anything analog and go with your choice of Casio- I imagine they're all as competently designed, functional, and consistently build as the W217H. Plus, they are just plain COOL- and always will be.
Review: Perfect for what I well be using it for. Love it. - Wow this watch is like wearing air.. super light weight, battery and watch were on when it arrived in the box. Programming and seeing it up were really easy. Took me maybe two minutes. Great for women and just long enough band to be small wrist friendly. I love that it is adjustable to military time, seems like it will be durable enough for what it’s about to do (army basic training), appearance is sleek and small framed which I love. About to same size as my Apple Watch. Couldn’t beat the price since I know it will be destroyed during training. Overall love that it’s a cheap yet versatile watch. Wish it could do not then one alarm but that’s okay given what it will be used for. I’ll keep Up posted on how it lasts during training for its durability. Definitely happy overall with the product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Takes F91W's Lunch Money; Buys W217H With It

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fine watch.
*by R***T on June 5, 2026*

A fine watch. A nice break from my GShock. Easier to read and much lighter and smaller. I like not having to scroll through world time, 3 alarms, etc. This watch is just time, alarm, and stopwatch. As I get older I prefer fewer features to many. Screw smart watches. They become another job unto themselves with more things to keep up with and maintain. This watch also slides in and out of sleeves very well due to its low profile. I had gotten used to my GShock being kind of a pain in the ass to get out of a jacket with a cuff. You take for granted the Casio durability but it's still there along with the water resistance and ease of use. I like the color very much and the novel illumination sold me on this particular model. Nice minimalist watch for when you're not going to need GShock durability.
