Casio W 202: Unboxing, In Depth Review, How To, and Comparisons (F 91W; DW 290, B-640, LW-205H)

[@Dynamics_Watch_Reviews]

Nice to see those watches, especially in the comparison, I did not know that they shared the same module. Thanks for another great episode

[@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed]

@@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 !

3294 module is the best

[@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed]

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!!!

[@johnwayne8114]

I recently got it on sale, only cause i fell in love with the LW-204-1B and i wanted to have the original too. It was actually CHEAPER than the F-91 standard version. The 3294 module is so much better that it isn't even funny. The timer for one, is a big thing for me, the alarm implementation, the perpetual calendar, the current time in secondary modes, the lighting, even the design, and i could go on. Always liked the F91, but felt it was REALLY lacking something. The LW-204/W-202 satisfied those frustrations, while still being a slim and simple watch.

[@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed]

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

The DW-290 does not have the resistance characteristics of a G-Shock (even if it has identical functions to the DW-5600 module), but they did not even manage to make writings on the case with an acceptable duration. Even in mine they disappeared after a few baths in sea water, I would say ridiculous. My trusted shop where I bought it gave me a new one as an apology (and it is not even their fault ...), never worn and I will never wear it. Despite everything, it is truly iconic. My son owns the B-640, the module is light years ahead of the more famous A-158 / 168 F91-W etc etc. Nice video, interesting.

[@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed]

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!!!

[@bugdrvr]

I really like these watches. The modules seem to have exactly the same functions as the G Shock DW5600 which is interesting.

[@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed]

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!!!

[@davidtheking8091]

My w800h has all these functions plus duel time. I hacked it to get the count down timer with auto repeat. I really like the silver version of w202.

[@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed]

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!!!

[@johnwayne8114]

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.

[@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed]

@ 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!!!

[@johnwayne8114]

@ 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.

[@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed]

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

[@antevrankovic4539]

I have F 91 WB 8AEF and it is the most classic digital watch I have ever seen

[@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed]

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

[@johanvandersandt8904]

I would say you did it for science. Comparing models and colors...For Science! 😉 I was not too familiar with the W202 but it seems like great value! Hope you are doing well man!

[@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed]

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!

[@SigogglinJack]

Casio is very optimistic running their calendars out to 2099. 😅

[@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed]

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!

[@VeganRichPT]

First 😝

[@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed]

Awesome! Thanks for commenting!!!

[@MrPleers]

It's funny how the DW 290 is so much larger than the W 202. But the time on the W 202 still reads in larger numbers.

[@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed]

@@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!!!

[@eugene8524]

So Casio released a model to kill their own other model lol. BS

[@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed]

@@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!
