Casio Collection Men's Watch MRW-200H

I recently bought the Casio MRW-200H-7EV. This model has a white dial with luminous green hands and markings, which is clear and uncluttered, making it very easy to see the time. (See images.) It keeps accurate time (as would be expected of a quartz watch) and also shows the day of the week and date.However, there are a few things to note:- My wrists are slim (approx. 6.5in/16.5cm) and although there are plenty of holes in the strap to fit both larger and even slimmer wrists, I find that no matter how I adjust the strap, either the watch casing or strap ends up pressing against the wrist bone, which gets a bit uncomfortable after a while. (I don't have this problem with my other watches, even ones that are metal and heavier.) However, this is probably because the watch is perhaps a bit too large for my wrist, so I'm not going to deduct stars.- Although the hands and markings are luminous, it's not really possible to read the time in the dark as they don't glow for very long, hence my rating of 4.5 - it's a bit annoying but not a big deal.- The front 'glass' is acrylic (plastic/Perspex), so I imagine it may be easily scratched. However, the use of real scratchproof glass cannot be expected for such an inexpensive watch.- When I received this watch, the battery was already dead. However, the supplied instructions state that test batteries are installed during manufacture and may not last as long as the expected battery life of a new battery (approx. 3 years). The dead battery may simply be due to the watch having been sitting in a warehouse for a long time, not because there's any fault with the watch itself. And since installing a new battery (SR626SW/377) the watch has been working fine.- Though some reviewers have commented that the day of the week is not displayed in English, I believe all that's needed is to set the day correctly outside of the period 9pm to 5am, as per the supplied instructions. The model I received shows the day of the week in either English or Spanish, though it has been consistently showing the day only in English since I set it correctly.In summary this is a great watch considering its low price, though perhaps its size is a bit too large for slim wrists.

Incredible value. This is a neat little (ish) watch that simply does what it says on the tin: day, date, 100 metres water-resistance, and even has anti-reflective coating on the crystal! For about 25 quid, that is astonishing value.

One of my colleagues has to dispatch work on a loading bank, this does not have a clock on view, and since these dispatches have to be recorded at the time they leave, this seems a bit daft, he kept asking me the time, so I got him one of these for Christmas, he can see it, even in bad light, at £24 it's a cheap Reliable Japanese piece of kit, easy to set up 3 position winder, just right for the work environment, as to water proof, I have no idea, and we're not going to test it either. don't expect anything fancy, like a leather strap or such, it's purely functional, but keeps time well, what else do you need for the job in hand?

this will a quick review, it's a cheap Casio, it tells the time, day and date, the time very legible, the date and day are reasonably legible.it's a good everyday beater watch for round the garden etc and whilst not intended to be a G shock replacement, it's fairly tough and being honest it's cheap enough to throw away if broken. one area it is better than a G shock though is the simplicity of the face and that mix of blue numbers and white hands on a simple black background is what makes it easy to read, in daylight at least, some form of night time illumination would have been nice. a pleasant surprise was the bezel is actually functional and whilst obviously not a divers watch, the ability to set it to keep track of how long something has taken is useful. the day / date are a bit small but ok. you could change the strap but the pins are a bit tight to the case and you'd need a farily thin strap, plus the standard one suits it and anything else would probably spoil it.being honest i said it's a beater watch that can the thrown away but i would be upset if i had to as i love it's relative simplicity, legibility and functionality and sometimes just wear if because i want to even though i should be wearing a more expensive watch

My son loves it as a birthday gift for him.

Casio always deliver good watches. I like this one and at the price don't mind if I knock it about too much in my current job. it's wearing well and keeping consistantly god time

The media could not be loaded. The waterproof part of the rating doesn't really matter as I bought this to try out hydro-modding (filling watch with silicon oil) as it would make it water resistant to a far greater depth - and also increase legibility. The photos and vid are after the mod was done - hence the tiny air bubble left in the watch. That's just an effect that hydro modders like to leave, so no issue.However, this is my third of these watches. Previous ones were when I was too broke to buy a "proper" watch and also to hand down to my daughter.They are practical, no-nonsense watches that you can beat the hell out of and not care.The colour and dial are nice - but the bezel is just a cheap, bi-directional piece of plastic that really lets the watch down. I also bought an after-market strap to make it a better looking combo overall but it wouldn't fit on - the straps on these things make it really tough to get pins to fit into the case if trying to replace them.If you just want a fun, throwaway watch for the beach or working around the house, this is a good watch.If you're looking for something that you can admire on your wrist, this won;t last you very long.
