You all know I have a bit of a Casio addiction. I just love the things, and they are such great value for money. This one should be at the top of your shopping list. Waaaaay better than the old and outdated F91W. All hail, the new budget Casio King! Cheers, Jody
Doh. Now you tell us after I spent all that cash on the F91W.
simon robinson back to saving for a prolong amount of time
by the time your f91w dies, you'll have enough money for this one
@@jimster805 yeah it'll take years. My older brother passed it to me and it's dead. It's like 13 years give or take
i got my casio gold. F - 91w at Wal-Mart
@@donimier1770 what do you mean dead?? The battery? These watches don't technically die unless they have been ruined
Van driver here. I drive one of 5 routes daily. I use the hourly chime to tell how I'm doing without even looking. How cool is that😀
I use it when I’m studying and cramming to remind me not to procrastinate and that time is passing!
the display looks awesome on this one. but that's already big for my taste, what I appreciate about the f-91w is actually how small and thin it is, perfect for small wrists and so comfortable to wear
If you dig the size of the F-91W but want a better light, go with the F105W-1A since it has EL illumination and not just "illuminator" (which means the LED light covers enough of the display for full readability). You can get one at pretty much any Wal-Mart for about $20 USD. I've heard the ones made in Thailand keep better time than the ones made in China, but not entirely sure about that.
@@The134735 Thanks for the recs, I might buy that
@@The134735 I am looking for a dual time digital watch that is comparable to F91W in size. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
I like my watch around 40 mm - the modern size. In the w217, Casio took everything the fw91 was and made it better - beefier size, more legible digits and incorporated its illuminator technology to create a backlight that worked. They didn’t mess around with anything and that’s the point of the new model. A classic on steroids.
I agree, I bought the 217 but I don't wear it. My wrists are small too. G-Shocks look ridiculous on me. I hate it because some of the G-Shocks look pretty good. I'll stick with the 92, 105 and 158
I am not a diver, a pilot, an astronaut, an athlete, a racecar driver, a frequent international traveler, or a dapper man about town. I am a working father of two, and I am always on the go. The Casio W217H tells perfect time, has an alarm function, a timer, a stopwatch, 24 hr. time, 50M water resistant, and it can light up in the dark. It has become the perfect watch for me at this time. My mechanical watch collection has essentially gone dormant, for now.
I'll stick with the F91W until I can save up for the W217H.
I want to buy an a158w but I just spent my life savings on an f91w......
Same
I may go for the 217 if my CA-53W craps out. Hoping that doesn't happen, though. Of course, I may just buy one regardless. No backlight on the 53W is a big downside...
it's like 20 USD man
@@mynamefrank6567 iktfb
When the F91W grows up, it becomes a W217H. When it enlists in the military, it becomes a GWM5610
Then it becomes an astronaut and goes full Buck Rogers...... sweet!
Then when it graduates highschool is become the King
This channel is so dangerous for my wallet. No regrets
😂
freakishly true
Most Casios aren’t too dangerous for your wallet unless you’re into the higher end models.
Same
I just bought this watch on Gshock.com a few days ago. It haven’t even got here yet I’m catching myself looking at the cooler ones for over 100$. I want MORE
I love your reviews on watches, I can feel your passion talking about them. The F-91W was the first casio my father bought me, because I was just a kid and it was the perfect size for my wrist so buying this W217H is a must!!
Really like your unpretentious, allencompassing, valuedriven approach! Thanks for all the contents!
Thanks for your kind words! Cheers, Jody
Never owned one of these, but it certainly does seem the perfect successor to the F-91W--keeps all the best features, eliminates all the hassles.
I’ve had a 217 for over 6 months and I love it. My f91 strap broke under light duress, and I know the 2017 won’t have that problem. I’m surprised the 217 doesn’t get more fanfare.
What a coincidence, I just bought one of these on Monday. So far I love it! I've always loved the look of the f-91w, but I've got 8 inch wrists so they always were just way too tiny on me. But this one fits like a dream! I think Casio really nailed it on this one, now I can finally have the watch I've always wanted and it actually looks good on me.
I like the Casio w202 (even if it is a lady’s watch technically) for this type of basic Casio digital. It’s basically a dw5600e module in a regular size watch. It even has current time display in stopwatch/timer modes and flash alert. The longer strap helps too, since I’ve got too fat to wear the f91/w59 comfortably now :( But the glass does scratch really easily.
I love these videos where you showcase some really affordable watches and especially Casio watches as I have a soft spot for them also. Really good stuff. I particularly loved the last video where you showed us how to mod the Casio Royale.
I think it is also worth noting that the backlight on the has the blue ring around the face has a backlight that inverts the display and in some people's opinion makes it easier to read in the dark. I have to say that I agree with that too so maybe it is worth the extra few quid.
Now that became my favourite cheap Casio! Bought one and straight after it was delivered another one (just in case😅)
Thanks for the review!!
Great review, had no idea this one existed! Tempted to go for the blue version for the true 80s neon aesthetic!
My best Casio is the w-800. Low price, 100m waterproof, lightweight and good looking. 🤘🤩👍
agreed, I have two!
I have a W-800 too but among all my Casios my favourite is the W-96H, rated to 50 meters instead 100 but more than enough.
The W-800 specs beat the W217H in every way. Including lower street price, it seems. But if you want the look of an oversized F91, the W217 is the way to go. Thought about buying a W217, but for me, the strength of the F91 is its smaller size.
@@michaelhealey2378 Agreed. I have two as well!
I have an AO 47, the analogue one, that I bought in the 1980's. Still ticking (er, humming?) away. It's my edc, I converted it to a 'biner watch which I wear on a belt loop along with a flashlight and a knife. Been through about 6 batteries, the last time I changed it the jeweler said the watch is still available.
The W-800H-1 AVESis also a good alternative, equally cheap and cheerful and does everything you need
Thanks for another great video. Count me among the fans of the W-800H-1AV. I got mine about a year ago, when they were actually cheaper than the F-91w, around $8 I believe. I love it, because I often forget what year it is.
I’ve got almost a full watch box of Casios, total value of around $67 😁
I also have the W800H and love it, as well as the W217H in both stock color and gold and also the W218H that looks like a mini Gshock, great watch, love those larger digits on the 217H and useable backlight-!! I like to tell folks who spent $$$$$ on snob watches mine cost almost nothing, needs no winding just a once in a great while battery change, also if it gets scratched I buff it out and if it gets damaged lost or stolen no big loss just buy another as theyre cheap - and the Casio is usually more accurate than even some very good mechanical movements can be.
Awesome find!! Just ordered mine. I expect my son will be wanting one too. He beats the crap out of watches and loves these Casios for their usefulness and durability at such low prices!! You can't beat these watches for their pure value over any other competitor!!!
Thanks to you, I am buying up every Casio model known to man. Love the channel!!
Love your Casio reviews. Keep doing them.
I completely agree. I did have the A158 and found that it was too small. I could barely read it. Then I found out about the B650 and bought one. Problem solved!
Thanks for the straightforward comparison, you gave me all the information I needed in a compact, well presented video.
F-91 has the new green color which I loved and bought and added a comfortable 22mm green nato strap. I use the hourly beep while programming, improves my productivity. The beep is way louder than on my G-Shocks.
This video answered every question that I had. Thank you! Good quality content!
I’m partial to the steel band models. One I found on amazon that resembles the W217 is the B650WD-1ACF. Looks like the A168 but with the larger case and bigger digits, plus it’s an Illuminator. I already have an A168 but for $20, it’s not too much of an investment to get a second, subtly different one as well.
Who cares about 78 jewels in a movement when you can have 132,721 transistors instead?
This is genius
One of the most relaxing review videos I've ever seen
Two days a go I ordered the blue. I've always wanted a bigger version of my little classic. I'm more excited about this one showing up than when the G Shocks are on route.
I loved the JPS photo! Takes me back to the days of the Elf Tyrrell's! 6 wheelers! Happy little watch.Cheers.
I really love the way Jody did the intro!
Great great intro! Always get a giggle out of me! "Now that I'm a big kid!"
My favorite Casio was the DataBank 50 and then the DataBank 150. What was nice you could schedule appointments and there was a bar in the window that would show when you had an upcoming appointment this week or next.
I have one exactly like this. Loved the gold/black look and with my 7 inch wrist it looked perfect. The only complaint I have about it is that the light should remained for at least 5 seconds.
Just picked one up today loving it. 👍
I’m absolutely in love with my Casio F-108 blue!
Great video. I actually have the w218h and really enjoy it. Because of your channel I've been looking at getting the royal in stainless as my dresser choice
I just got the metal version of this last week (b650w) and im in love with it, haha.
I might buy for the light alone, looks epic haha!
Thanks Jody, big Casio fan myself! Every time the value for money surprises me. Have plenty of watches myself, but i'am looking for a G-shock, just to be part of the G-Shock family.
Thanks for the review! It's a great beater indeed!
Thank you for another great video. I'm going to pick one up. The gold one looks great.
Never Heard of the Gold Model?
Unreal, looks like Just One More Casio for Me.
Great Stuff JOMW.
Great t-shirt! JPS Lotus reference---big ups! That's it! I'm getting a w217.
The "Gold" one may had been cheaper at the time.. I chose it for the slightly different display color and the gold lines look classy. I'm trying one because of your video.
Thank you for the review Jody!
5:14 i think non-rechargable batteries are just called lithium, not lithium-ion.
great watch though, gotta love casio!
The version with the blue line that looks the most like the original F-91 has a waaaay cooler backlight!
I love my Casio F105W with electro-luminescent light.
This seems perfect: Bigger than the tiny F91w, but not as bulky as the GShocks. Also, the font size is great for aging folks like me.
Hellooooooo and welcome to just one more Casio! Been rocking the 217 for a few weeks now, just can't seem to get it off the wrist.❤❤
I cannot remember the specific Casio I had as a kid but I can remember the discomfort and the in my finger after depressing the light button.
Who would have thought that would be the highlight of skool.
I have one casio. Its the casio W-800H 1AVES id say its worth a look for you. Has an extra time zone, chrono, good back light, alarm, 100m WR. I love it. Worth a look. I got mine for £7. Usually £14-£25 ish
plus a timer with a little extra effort, nice watch.
I just purchased this watch from Amazon although it did go up to $19.49 for the gold version...you're right, it is still quite the bargain...everything about it works for me. Love the longer battery life, the increased water resistance and, of course, the big digital display. Jodie, I am curious why you have never reviewed the Casio fe10-1a? It would seem that this watch is right up your alley...cheap, light, big digits and, as you are fond of saying, it does everything that a watch needs to do.
I love this watch, currently using the negative display iteration.
Take a look at the B640WB-1BEF too. Looks gorgeous with the negative display, especially when illuminated, and way less feature advertising on the watchface.
I got one of these the summer when they came out. The perfect new B.M.T. Watch
The Casio F-91 W are easy to find especially on a Walmart stores
I like my W201. Another slightly larger descendant of the 91. I’m probably 7 years in on the 10 year battery and a basic one piece nylon has replaced the resin band when it ripped.
I got the same, thanks for your review of this magnific watch!
Cheers from Italy
the way to evaluate an LCD screen is the GAPS
between the strokes, the bigger gap
the lower quality
The tighter spacing give a much better visual
of the letters/ digitals
I live in the US and every time that we go to walmart, always go the watch aisle to pick up "just one more watch". I haven't found the F91W but pretty sure that will get one. Thank you Brother to revive my love for Casio watches, these are the best cost benefit watches.
i've got the w59
same nice small size as well as the shitty light
but also 50m water resistant
A Cool watch I found is the AQW101-1AV by casio. It is unique in that it has a "fish" complication, that tells you when is the best time to go fishing. ALso a moonphase, thermometer, and 200m water resistance. 40 dollars on amazon where I am. I Have seen some fisherman wearing them online. Anyways, the 217H is great because I dont need my glasses to read them!!
Almost two weeks since I have W217H-9A. What a great watch! :)
Very cool!! Going to have to check one out!! Thanks Jody 😎👍👍
I bought one today (I chose the blue rather than gold band) at Walmart for $15.88 . . .did so BEFORE watching this review. My sons are taking me tubing this Sunday (Father's Day) on a local river and I went to Wally World today intent on buying a $45 G-Shock but when I saw this 217 with 5 bar WR, I thought it was great value for money and would be perfect for the river or a pool. I was pleasantly surprised when I tested the illumination and saw how excellent it is!
I feel GREAT about the decision to buy this model now that I've watched your review!
It's been made since 1989. The 91 is just a model number
I had the same model, but in black steel with negative display! It's called the casio b650wb
looks way better than the cheap plastic one
Began a few months with the F91W, ordered a F84W from Japan yesterday. Already planning to purchase a GW-B5600BC-1BER next year.
Thanks man. I am happy that there are people like me. And by the way where did you purchase that world map you use as the background ? I want one for photography purpose
Couldn't resist. Just bought one through your link. 👍
Just landed myself one for 15.39! Excited to add this to my collection 🍻
Just bought my first 91w a couple days ago! Can't wait for it to arrive
Now i want this bigger one, (and every color of both) lol theyre addicting to buy because theyre so cheap!
love your vids! would you recommend this model over the W800H-1AV? That one is at similiar pricing, $14.96 on amazon
Love that gold one. Reminds me of the LCARS display on Star Trek TNG.
🖖
One week it's a subby the next it's a Casio ,that's why this channel is in my top 5. Awesome as usual.
Just editing another subby two tone for Tuesday! 😂 Thanks mate. Keepin it real, top to bottom.
Thank you. Great suggestion
I just got the Casio w217-h in gold and it’s great,the size is perfect for my wrist and it looks very good.
:) just picked mine up last week, LOVE IT!
I purchased this watch from this recommendation. I love it more than my $150.00 G-shock because the price makes it so i don't care if it gets dirty or scratched. I helped my brother work on his car over the weekend and got it covered in oil , a good rinse later and its good as new
💯
I had one of these while in Air Force BMT. You can't kill these things I never took it off even in the shower. Loved it but I lost it while moving from tech school.
Hi Jody, love your content and reviews. Could you do a review on the Casio W-218H ?
I have one of this since i live in UK (8 years) the best watch ever! Alarm, hours, day and week days all in the same screen! Fu**in green light too! You use it you feel like a real man at the same time! Thats the watch used by fishermans, mechanics, toolmakers, a true beast with no competitor!
Good review, I have one but with small wrists I'll stick with the 158, 105 and 91. Thanks for sharing
Absolutely Fantastic 🏆 I Like it a lot 💯
Cheers form Perth Australia 🐨🙏
Gary Sharples good to see Perth mate
Agreed, agreed, agreed! Just purchased one! Thank you!
Great video, great watch! I've noticed that you mention water proof ratings and it seems like unless it's a high rating, you don't advise swimming or sometimes even showering. Should a 30m be good to 90ft under water? Why would swimming ever be an issue? I don't get it. Someone please explain!
Didn't know this watch existed. It looks so good! Had to buy one immediately :P
This video made me bought the W-217H in a heartbeat. I love it!
Update ?
@@xxsilver_gamingxx389 quite a beater watch. It's always with me when I'm out in the field, even when I'm snorkeling. I've replaced the original strap, but the watch itself still works and is pretty accurate. As long as you understand its limitations (i.e not pushing the button while submersible) you got yourself a great watch
Finally, A F-91w for adults with 7"+ Wrist sizes. I will be getting the 41mm W217H-1AV version.
Hi I'm from Brazil. I am amazed at how cheap Casio genuine watches are for you guys. 1 Casio watch for most Brazilians represents 20 to 25% of the minimum wage.
I got mine from Walmart for $15.88 when it first came out. I chose the blue rimmed one because of negative back-lit feature
I love your videos Jody, especially ones from the future like that one...
Ahah! Yes, I live in the future.
such cool washing machines on the shelf
I have the new King... I sleep with it on my wrist with alarm on. They have resolved all the issues from the old classic. First class!
Casio and Armitron. Budget watches that are very durable and can last a long time. Love them.
Looks like it might be my next watch. Thanks for the overview.
Mate, it's mineral not sapphire, my error. I'd look elsewhere!
Bought this watch this week just the statement piece i was looking for
