I have the black one. Cheapest watch I’ve ever had, still looks great, and keeps the best time out of any watch I’ve ever owned. Gains about a second per month. Obviously the lume isn’t the same but it’s a poor man’s luninox. I’ll have one on my collection forever. Good review.
Love this Casio..I have the smaller version and wear it on my 7.5 inch wrist.....one of the most practical and best value watches You can buy. Not a screw down crown but it does have a special washer between the crown and case. Excellent video and review as always 👍
I have the 210 H and when I’m not wearing my Samsung Galaxy 4 watch to work this is my GO TO. It has a clean look, very stylish and the bigger numbers really help a lot as a security guard, sometimes you are not around a light source. It was purchased at a pawn shop for $25.00 and was worth every cent. If you see it, do yourself a favor and get one
I have a white dial variant and is my work watch. It has a lot of dings and scratches. The original strap broke in about a year and replaced it with a cheap rubber strap from Amazon. The bezel has high resistance when attempting to use it, so I just set it at the 12 and don't use it to time my lunch break anymore. It's out in the elements and the resin has had long exposure to UV for 3 years now. I had a G Shock in which the resin became brittle and fractured. I'm expecting my watch will fracture during the next big impact. But it has served me well. I have mechanical watches, but wear cheap quartz watches for work, weekend errands or travel especially if in areas with high rates of pick pockets.
I think beater watch just means that you will wear it for basically almost any occasion so the watch's condition will be beaten up because it is worn a lot. It is also kinda "abused" in comparison to luxury watches which will mostly be protected inside a box.
I have the smaller one with a blue dial. On my 6,5 inch wrist fits perfectly (4th hole from the lug). Seconds arrow rarely hits the markers but the watch itself is dead accurate. For 3 months it hurries only about 2 seconds. Great value for the price.
Hey mate - just purchased the MRW-210HB-5BVCF version of this watch for my brother from another mother. Sadly, no Walmarts here. Amazon shipped it to me from the USA via Amazon Oz, and it’s US$40/Au$54. The colour is I got was khaki - brilliant - and from your review I now know that it’s reliable too. My brother goes fishing, kayaking and snorkelling around Batemans Bay NSW - and I reckon he’ll love the simplicity and immortal sporty styling this watch features. Plus this version has a khaki nylon Velcro strap - neeaaat! Am sending him your video as the instruction manual 😄 Thank you for the detailed review - and for appreciating Casios - 2 of my 6 watches are Casios 👍🏽 greetings from Oz 🇦🇺
If I was looking for an affordable watch, this is exactly what I'd be looking at. I'll never settle for a Casio clone, when they have such a vast range of watches at each price point. The morons who choose to buy from Chinese KO brands like skmei are something else.
I always enjoy your reviews! I have 3 Casio's, 1 Bulova and one Timex. The Timex ( I've owned 3 or 4 of the same model) was my cheapest beater/work watch. $8 + tax. My Bulova is appreciation service award. It's my dress watch. I really like it! And my 3 Casio's are now my daily wear. They were all under $20 each! One is a model 5400 is a $44 Chronograph I got at Walmart for $9. It's my favorite daily wear! I love Casio's. I'm not in the position currently to buy any higher price watches , but hopefully in the near future l'll be able to get some nicer ones. But I do enjoy the ones that I do have.
I have the MRW 200H all black with white numerals for $17.91 retail.When on Amazon I've seen them cheaper but this varies quite a lot over time...................................
Question, Greg. Why don’t use the standard time setting approach (at least for Seiko) : Make sure the hands are between 3 and 9, set the date to one day before the current date, then advance the hands until the date changes and set hands to the current time? Just a thought! Great show, Greg!
I guess I’m just anticipating the end of any month with less than 31 days. The time can stay set while you just advance the date. My old, diver style watch from the 1970s couldn’t do that since the pull-out crown only had one outward position.
In the video I neglected to mention that you shouldn’t adjust the date between about 10PM and 4AM. I guess it could mess up the mechanism because the watch itself would be trying to advance the day and date during those hours. Your method of setting the date to one day early while it’s between 3:00 and 9:00 and then moving it forward to the right time would avoid a problem.
On ALL of my watches,regardless of brand,age,mechanical,quartz, I use the “ day/ date 1 day before method”( or what ever you call it). You can set the current day/date/ time regardless of the current time of day.I do it this way: 1)set hour and minute hands to 6:30(does not matter if am or pm). 2)set day and date to the day BEFORE current. 3) stop the second hand when it hits 12. 4)advance hour/minute to current time + 1 minute(day/date will change) 5)hack when the reference time ( atomic clock,iphone..whatever you are synching to) hits 12. 6)you are done.......until one of those “ pain in the ass months “ rolls around 😂......then repeat.....for all of your collection😂 This method eliminates risk of any gear damage.
Thank you so much for your help! I have the black one with the black dail and the tan one with the black dial. I love them both, so of course I had to find out how to set them correctly. Two beauties in my collection. 🥳🥰
I have the white face and have been wearing it over a year now, as a daily beater. I wear eyeglasses and can still guess the time without them. The lume is not functional at night. It keeps great time. I want to buy another white dial in case my current one breaks.
I have got a MRW-S300 Solar Powered (not Tough Solar...), and after a year, even kept always at daylight exposure, it stopped. Online I found users are lamenging the faulty rechargeable battery (Panasonic MT621?). Someone even replaced with a Renata standard. How so? I bought it new from Casio store, while those I collect, second hand, are lasting decades, this model seems doomed...
WOW !!! Amazing video brother considering this is the first one I've ever seen you've now "ruined" me for all future videos . I mean that in the spoiled way
“Enough” is an interesting word for a collector. I’m getting some grief from viewers now that I’ve revealed the entire collection (so far) but I wonder if some of the backlash is due to the current social and political climate (the same reason Elon Musk decided he wanted to get rid of physical possessions to get the critics to tone things down). But if I used all the money I spent on all of these watches to start a collection of brand new Rolex watches I’d still be a little short to get the first one.
I have the same watch and sometimes I have difficulty reading the hour and minute hand because they blend on the watch face which is white. Do you experience that too?
You mean,you have less than perfect vision and you have a watch with white face and white hands? to me, i would not pay 1 dollar for that,and i like them under $50; To view well, one needs to select BLACK dial and WHITE hands,and white or chrome marks; AND also,the HOUR hand must be SHORTER and fatter, otherwise both hands will get mixed up (Rolex knows that, their hour hand is shorter and fat, but many watch makers DON'T!!); AND, also say no to the 12 hour numbers, 4 numbers is enough ( unless they are small,in such a way that the HOUR hand does NOT come near them,or it will appear the same length as the minutes hand...); I like to be able to see the time without my eyeglasses, and i have done a bit of research on this matter, hope it is useful.
at casio the hands dont drift by pushing the crown back as it is almost always with other marks, like timex, even hanowa, or other more expensive marks...I noticed that casio does perfect jobs even in aligning second hands in movement with points among the numerals....while the more expensive swiss brands(even very expensive!!!) try almost permanently omit these things thus permanently cheating us-funny enough - for bigger price....
I don't particularly recommend these. Certainly they are quick-and-dirty functional timepieces, but if anyone asked my advice, I would say save your pennies a bit longer and get a Duro.
For most folks, yes. But I can imagine this watch would be really good for someone with serious vision problems who doesn’t need something as tough as a Duro.
@Joe Burkhart That's because he doesn't have any good reason not to. These watches are a great choice around the $30 price point. Tough, accurate, and good water resistance. I'm perfectly happy with mine. I have the OD green on black model.
I have the black one. Cheapest watch I’ve ever had, still looks great, and keeps the best time out of any watch I’ve ever owned. Gains about a second per month. Obviously the lume isn’t the same but it’s a poor man’s luninox. I’ll have one on my collection forever. Good review.
What does lume mean ?
@@salvatoredigrigoli3210 Referring to luminous paint, which glows and makes the watch visible in darkness.

I have this 210 model and 200 with the white face and a 200 with the cream yellow face...love them
Just got the tan version. Has black dial, white hands, and white numerals. Much easier to read for my older eyes.
I have the smaller one with a blue dial. On my 6,5 inch wrist fits perfectly (4th hole from the lug). Seconds arrow rarely hits the markers but the watch itself is dead accurate. For 3 months it hurries only about 2 seconds. Great value for the price.
Just bought the white faced one...a great looking watch!... thanks for the video
I just picked up the MRW-200H... despite having a fairly good-sized wrist, 50mm is a bit much 😂 Thanks for the video.

I just purchased the Black and Khaki one. I love the style.
1 second a week - "not bad at all"? Way more accurate than any mechanical watch would ever hope to be.
Thank you for a great and entertaining review. Will defenitely pick one up for my vacation in South France.

White or black mrw 210?

Just picked this up for $20 at Jc penny. I’m gonna rotate it with my work watch collection.
Thank you I tried reading the instructions but I couldn't get it .your video helped me get the date and week day figured out .

Thanks Greg. I think the white face works better?

Today is "FRI 24" on my watch 17 jewels auto, hence watching the video, mine time is exactly half hour behind.
Thank you so much for your help! I have the black one with the black dail and the tan one with the black dial. I love them both, so of course I had to find out how to set them correctly. Two beauties in my collection. 🥳🥰

Thank you for video it helped me set it up saved me some tiny reading. I got the large white face on Amazon. Now I need the dark face one.
I have the gold tone and white excellent watches better than my expensive watch
My next watch on sight
How easy to swap a nato band?
Very easy no need to open stainless case. just use flat screwdriver to press the spring bar for remove the default band.
does this have timer?
Big Case beater, why not?
I used to own a couple of these, being ended up as a giveaway to my work colleagues. Planned to buy another one in black. 😘

Looks like a defect, best to ask Casio to replace the battery, as it's under warranty.
what brand watch are u wearing ....
Got one and wear to work every day as a car Mechanic this watch should be called a g shock
Unbelievable value and quality....
Awesome stuff! Cool watches! Cheers
What model number is that blue diver watch you were wearing before you tried on the MRW?
That's this watch here... ua-cam.com/video/dazDbR2IErM/v-deo.htmlsi=6R8alYD3Aj5ZYrnr

WOW !!! Amazing video brother considering this is the first one I've ever seen you've now "ruined" me for all future videos . I mean that in the spoiled way
What watch are you wearing? It's really nice looking
Glass size?
Is it durable?
Thank you for this. i learnt alot here.
Great review. I’m looking at the larger watch as we speak for sale in the UK 🇬🇧 As per normal they will be more expensive. 👍👀🇬🇧
It's only £13 at Argos, atm.
It costs twice as less than my weekly shopping.
Our Walmart dosnt have a clearance bin.
Greg, I really enjoy your videos, I do! But don't u think you got enough Casio's by now?😁
“Enough” is an interesting word for a collector. I’m getting some grief from viewers now that I’ve revealed the entire collection (so far) but I wonder if some of the backlash is due to the current social and political climate (the same reason Elon Musk decided he wanted to get rid of physical possessions to get the critics to tone things down).

for this model CASIO totally should go for Though Solar feature
What model please?
@@garyd395 I mean that CASIO should produce a solar powered version for this diver model
You mean Tough Solar? Or am I missing something?
@@michaelhargis7036 yes: tough solar on every new model is a good option
They do.
I really like them, but they're just too large for me. Shame.
Awesome Video Thank you Much!!!😁

What's the difference between the 200h and the 210h?
Size. The 210 has a bigger case.
@@coryames1170 cheers
Movement in the MRW-200 is 5125 (Miyota 2305) and in the MRW-210 is 5474 but I don't know which model and manufacturer)

Awesome watches but I prefer the look and size of the MRW200H.

Citizen Quartz watches have the best alignment of the second hands of any quartz watch brand! All my Citizens hit the mark!
It is luminox !

Maybe you would feel differently if you thought the word to be “Beta”. As in second. As is the original concept.
they have a battery but no nite lights? if not, it's for sure a no want; big clock style also no want;
