@@fbhayden more knowledgeable KZbinrs and Casio enthusiasts than me showed frames of the first mission impossible where it really appears that this very model was used. It should have been another model (a gshock, as you mentioned) but it appears that Tom cruise wore one of his personal timepieces when shooting the scene, and thus began the legend of the dw-290. Humbly I can say that to my eyes it appears that from those freeze-frames the watch is indeed this one… Thanks for this comment!

Agree 100 percent with EVERY single word! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!

@@Simon89Jeppesen I totally agree… It does look cool with a negative display, but if it loses its utility it also loses its value. Thank you for watching and commenting!

@@Simon89Jeppesen yes, you’re right. Despite liking the looks of this watch, I am seriously considering selling it. I have worn it maybe four times total and, against my collector instinct , I really want to sell this one… Looks cool though… Thank you for this comment!

@@cartoonpete407 it does have them, doesn’t it? Just a bit , but they’re there… Thanks for this comment!!!

@@Dynamics_Watch_Reviews it’s a great watch with cool features, the super nice backlit illumination and a beautiful case shape for normal-wristed people.but even small wristers like me can enjoy it… Thanks for this comment!!!

Hello, the short answer is: yes, the alarm will go off every day of the year. This model has just one alarm, unless you modify it. The mod is simple, but I haven't done it yet, and it allows to have five alarms. In the original version of the w800-h, the alarm is either ON (so it goes off every day) or off. Thanks for watching and commenting!

¡Muchisimas gracias por este comentario! ¡Me alegro mucho de que tu B640 aún tenga el barniz todo intacto! Estoy de acuerdo en que es el módulo más completo: hice recién una revisión del modelo W-202, que tiene el mismísimo módulo, solo con caja y correra en plástico negro: ¡son excepcionales! Hice también algunos videos de competencia entre diferentes modelos de Casio para averiguar la precisión, pero no me acuerdo cómo salió el B640. Me parece que era superpreciso, como tú dices... ¡Aun muchísimas gracias por el comentario! Disculpa los errores y la falta de tildes; tengo teclado en italiano y a veces me hace correcciones automáticas...

Yeah! There are better watches out there, but some Swatches are really fun! Thanks for this comment!

The strap thing is really annoying. I have a Frankenswatch at home: the previous owner wanted to change strap sia regular one and maimed the poor timepiece… Thanks for this comment Johan, and have a great weekend!!!

@@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed Yeah! I can imagine how he did it. He probably cut out the middle two parts so the outer ones form a place for spring bars. Have an awesome one Pete!

He did exactly like that! I might make a video about it…

@@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed Thats what I would have done if I had to...Improvise hahaha! Yeah go for it!

And that's a wonderful idea! "SUDN": can I steal it? You're right, the 5610 belongs to another universe, if compared to the Swatch. 30 m water resistance, I call it "splash resistance", basically I'm ok washing my hands with it, or going out on a rainy day. I love Casios, particularly g-shocks, and particularly squares with multi band six and tough solar. But every now and then, a quickie with a Swatch (provided no one tells my Casios) is just fun! Thanks for this comment!!!

Indeed that micrometer/calliper needs some juice ! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I still remember my first (and only) Scuba Swatch from the late 80's: it was big, with that round thing that turned and clicked (the rotating bezel), it was black and orange and I loved it. Casi came first, but Swatch had its place in my early years... Hence the affair. Thanks for this comment!

Exactly!😂

@@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed 😎

Indeed, it is beautiful!

The one I bought new was bought in January 2022. So it's three years old and the battery is still going strong.

Casi says two years: I've had mine for three already and the battery is still working great! I'm uploading the complete video of the alarm going off with the blinking light

It’s 20 seconds of awesomeness. I’m trying to upload a short video about it

@@david6920-r6z awesome, thank you for subbing! Glad you like the knife!

So far this knife has always been in its box, so I’ve never tested it in real life situations. You might be just right, nail nick much needed in wet environments! Thanks for this comment!!!

Thanks for the precious information! The W-740 is super cool, I'm always looking for one in good conditions for sale, but all the pieces I found are quite beat up, and non has the lettering on the case still intact... Thank you for watching and commenting!!!

Purtroppo, ho anche quella malattia lì… Non bastava quella degli orologi! Trovare vecchi orologi, o vecchi coltelli e poi rimetterli in sesto è una cosa che mi dà estremo piacere! chissà che pezzi interessanti ci sono tra i coltelli di tuo padre! Grazie per il commento!

@@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed Ho messo il link di una foto di alcuni coltelli con Google Drive ma KZbin ha cancellato il commento…

@@deips74è sempre così, ho provato a mettere anch’io link in buona fede e con buone intenzioni in qualche commento, e YT cancella sempre tutto… Se vuoi puoi spedirmi una mail… Ciao!

This is the only knife I have with this kind of horn scales. all the others tend to be darker. I like the somehow translucent quality of these ones. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hahaha! I always ask myself: "why am I buying all these objects, if most of them don't get the usage they deserve"? But then the "other" voice inside of me tells me "it's ok, it's no big deal, there are worse crimes..." I knew about cutting the end of the cigar, but I didn't know that you also have to/can dig a hole in the cigar. Thanks for this comment Johan, and have a great rest of the week!

@@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed Think of them as heirlooms to leave to your children hehe! Stay awesome man!

Thanks for this comment Chris!!!

Thanks for the advice: I'll try the wd40 method! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I haven't had the courage and the time to do it yet. But I keep getting comments telling me how great and easy to do the mod is. So, as soon as I have some time on my hands, I'll do it. Thanks for this comment!

That is a really awesome watch, with that unique display animation. Congratulations on that one!

Those blue/green indications on the dw-290 give it a really characteristic look, and I’m really worried they will fade away… and that’s why, out of my three dw-290 I never wear the newer one. I think “the mad watch collector“ just got a “fresh” DW 290 for Christmas, meaning one with all the lettering still intact… Also, the matte finish on the case and strap will become darker and more polished after prolonged use. Both the fresh and the used look are cool, but maybe I prefer the fresh one. Grazie per questo commento!!!

Thanks, I didn't know this! I'll definitely look into it (pun intended😉)! Thanks for this comment!

That is an excellent gift, I’m sure you made your brother very happy! Thanks for this comment!!!

@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed ... 👍

@@gelatus_watches Right, I would almost be better if the light wasn’t there… Other than that, a great watch! Thanks for this comment!!!

It’s almost incredible how many cool fun it has. Many more Than other cheap Casios. This module is a gem. Thanks for this comment!!!

@@MrPleers yes, legibility on the w-202 is great. On the other hand, the “armor “ on the dw-290 is so cool… Thanks for this comment!!!

I will be in my 130’s by then… It would be fun to see The year change from 2099 to 2010 again… Thank you for this comment!

Oh really... I'm sorry. This is the first time I've headr about a Casio die so easily. Even smaller and cheaper models can take water and beatings without fear and still tell excellent time... It must have been that particular watch. I'm sorry man! Thanks for commenting!

Exactly, even though I don’t own a dw5600, which is a shame 😂, the functions are the same. This means that I’ll have to get a dw5600 to make an even more accurate comparison! Thanks for this comment!!!

@@eugene8524 one needs a bit of clickbait, ain’t it? Anyways, I’m a fan of both the f-91 and the w-202. And if I were to choose… I’d go for the modified w800-h (with 5 alarms and auto repeat timer, plus 10year battery and 100m water resistance) 😂! Thanks for this comment!

@@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed Goog review, but these click bates are annoying

The w800h is a great watch (here’s my review kzbin.info/www/bejne/ol6ap4V6j9Wgibcsi=eDEYNgQf0Qgzunxu ) I have… two (not three) but one is the negative display version: cool, but not legible (here is the comparative video kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6WyqqGMp6ikr80si=QhXEL6rf08we_s-J) . I haven’t had the courage, so far, to hack it, but if I do, THAT will become the ULTIMATE cheap digital: 100 m water resistance, 10 year battery… Awesome. Thanks for this comment!!!

Yeah, but the count down timer and 5 alarm implementation is not that great. For example, you lack indicators of them being on/off, and other things.

@ you’ve got a point there. Before thinking about making the mod, I watched a bunch of video about it, and what you just mentioned was bothering me. Also, I have seen some modding videos in which the thin lines framing the various parts of the screen disappear after the mod, and that would be something that bothered me even more… I’ll make up my mind if I want to keep the watch original, and use the other Casios with similar functions instead, or do the mod. Thanks for this comment!!!

@ The screen edge thing might be just poor reassembly. But, from what i understand, once you do it it's quite obvious those functions are not really native to the watch. I'd still do it, i'd probably disable the dual-time too, but after some thinking i decided against the W800. This W-202 gives me pretty much the same thing in a smaller form factor, minus the multiple alarms.

@ it’s a great little watch, the w-202!

@@antevrankovic4539 is that the all-black version with gold lettering? That is super elegant, like a digital dress watch! Thanks for this comment!

@@Dynamics_Watch_Reviews yes, they have different reference numbers, unlike the F-91’s, but they are actually the same watch. Thanks for this comment, Chris !

@@RobertSmith-us7gs will do so for sure! Thanks for the suggestion!!!

Exactly! It's all for the sake of Science (with the capital "S")! You are a gem in finding the right excuses for me; thanks Johan! I'm doing great. Can't wait to start working again next week. Have a great one man!

Awesome! Thanks for commenting!!!

It’s an amazing watch! Thanks for this comment!

@@chronocommander007 you contribute to my temptation… I’m very easily convinced! Any experience with “water encounters”? Is the watch still water resistant? Thanks for the recommendation and for commenting!

Where do you get it?

@ I have not gone diving but have showered with it and gone for a few swims without issues. I was meticulous when I cased the module and lubed the new o-ring with watchmaker's silicone grease. If you decide to buy the stainless steel case, I suggest you ask them for a few extra gaskets because every time you open the watch you should replace the gasket. They gave me three extra gaskets upon request at not extra charge. The steel case comes with one new gasket. The new gasket is fatter than the original gasket so you can't reuse the original gasket.

@ I bought it from SKXMOD. Shipping took one week from China to California.

@ wow, thanks for this thorough comment! Now I’m really seriously considering to make the mod. Thanks for the advice about the gasket!

I knew about the case paint issues, but, because of my momentarily shaved wrist, I had not noticed the hair pulling… too bad. Still, the watch is great! Thanks for this comment!
