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.
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.
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 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...
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.
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 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 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!!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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
18mm wide NATO type straps look great on this and the W800H. Very easy to swap, especially if you buy the Bisonstrap brand that comes with a removal and re-install tool and four spare pins, just in case one or more flies off onto your sawdust floor.
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.
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.
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
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 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!
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.
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.
@@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
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 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.
I just pulled from my savings, and bought this watch. I love the practicality of it. I use it for work so i can leave my expensive g shock at home and not damage it.
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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 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.
I have the blue 217. It has a cooler toned grey LCD as opposed to the golden hue on the black and gold one. The light on the blue 217 makes the numerals glow while leaving the background dark. It's easily the best looking light I've seen on a casio. It looks like a glowing amber negative display.
reminds me of my 15 years old metal casio watch, it looks just like this. i had no idea what model it was, i had an accident and lost it just 2 years back. it was the very first watch i brought with my own money. Broke student, need a watch...nothing more reliable than a 30 bucks watch. The light is great and bright, easy read at day and night. i'd pay 100 bucks for it to come back.
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 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.
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 of these and love it. Only thing that annoys me is the way the strap is stepped into the case so only a 18mm nato can fit. I’d love to be able to fit a 20mm nato on this thing.
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!
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.
Had one from Argos which in 2002 was robbed from me in Rio de Janeiro by a juvenile who held a revolver to my temple. I bought a Rolex which I saved up for from never going to Rio again! Lols
He's absolutely right. When you see the F-91W in the flesh for the first time, you will probably think it looks comically small. I had to dig through a bunch of boxes of Casios at Walmart to get to the F-91W and before I found it, I encountered the W217H and thought it was the F-91W at first. I ended up getting the F-91W but I regret not getting the W217H since it looked better, has a better light, and is the same price as the F-91W.
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 think the W-86 is nicer honestly, but the big font might be good for old people or people with bad eyesight. I also bought a G-shock DW-5600 but I have to say I find it just slightly too big and heavy for a 24/7 beater. I can't feel the W-86 or F-91, but I can definitely notice the DW-5600. The waterproofness of the F-91W has never been an issue. I went scuba diving with it on several occasions at 22m and it survived without any issues, so taking it to the pool should also be fine.
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 was looking at "luxury" watches for a change but said eff it, I am sticking with the brand I know and already love and have been loyal to since the seventies. I am buying this in a moment. Can't use your codes tho because I shop on the Amazon Canada site. D'oh!
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!

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.
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
Really like your unpretentious, allencompassing, valuedriven approach! Thanks for all the contents!

The W-800H-1 AVESis also a good alternative, equally cheap and cheerful and does everything you need
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.

Nice watch for the price. Can jou please make a video about the G Shock GD350?

Just a heads up, this gold one is slightly harder to read than a standard white background.

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 just got the metal version of this last week (b650w) and im in love with it, haha.
Just picked one up and love it! Great review!!
Had one from Argos which in 2002 was robbed from me in Rio de Janeiro by a juvenile who held a revolver to my temple.
I bought a Rolex which I saved up for from never going to Rio again! Lols
Never Heard of the Gold Model?
Unreal, looks like Just One More Casio for Me.
Great Stuff JOMW.
He's absolutely right. When you see the F-91W in the flesh for the first time, you will probably think it looks comically small. I had to dig through a bunch of boxes of Casios at Walmart to get to the F-91W and before I found it, I encountered the W217H and thought it was the F-91W at first. I ended up getting the F-91W but I regret not getting the W217H since it looked better, has a better light, and is the same price as the F-91W.
Casio watches never age
Casio and Armitron. Budget watches that are very durable and can last a long time. Love them.
I love digital watches they're packed with functions and they're so unfashionable they're not even subject to fashion scrutiny..
The F91W has some color options like silver and gold for example. They look really good and quite fashionable imo.

Mfw you say digital watches aren't fashionable: i.redd.it/kv701vuwyz001.jpg
I wish I saw this before I ordered the f105. 38x43 is still pretty compact.
Me deciding between the f105 and this watch
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.
Fantastic basic digital watch, but just a tad too small for my 7.5 inch wrist, is there something similar but a bit bigger?
This video answered every question that I had. Thank you! Good quality content!
Thanks for the straightforward comparison, you gave me all the information I needed in a compact, well presented video.
I have a w86. Same size as the F91w but with 50m wr and illuminator.
The other one has a nice inverted display when you activate the light.
ahhh that's why mine was different, why would they change the way it illuminates?
I think the W-86 is nicer honestly, but the big font might be good for old people or people with bad eyesight. I also bought a G-shock DW-5600 but I have to say I find it just slightly too big and heavy for a 24/7 beater. I can't feel the W-86 or F-91, but I can definitely notice the DW-5600. The waterproofness of the F-91W has never been an issue. I went scuba diving with it on several occasions at 22m and it survived without any issues, so taking it to the pool should also be fine.
Great video, I just bought mine but here in Mexico City I paid $649 Mexican pesos which is about $31 US dollars, however I just love the watch
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.
have a negative display one, looks amazing
I got a Casio watch in third grade and it died 2 days after I graduated. Best thing is their so cheap yet so high quality you can just buy a new one
I was looking at "luxury" watches for a change but said eff it, I am sticking with the brand I know and already love and have been loyal to since the seventies. I am buying this in a moment. Can't use your codes tho because I shop on the Amazon Canada site. D'oh!
