Hey, Welcome to the OFD Watch Channel. My name is Aron Dunlap, and I’m nuts about watches. What’s OFD you ask? Well, one of my best friends coined this term. It stands for “Only F@#*ing Dunlap” (sorry kids!!) due to some of the ridiculous things I can come up with, including watch collecting.
I have loved watches for years, but in the last few years really got into the collecting and studying aspect. I mainly buy Seiko and Orient watches, but I love everything out there!! (Omega, Oris, Rolex, Squale, Timex, Casio, Steinhart….and on and on and on)

Amazon Price is a little higher than Wal-Mart where i bought this one. But, there are many colors available at the Amazon links below. Cheers!!

Should i buy the royale(resin body and strap) or that the w-218

[@VibingLuhog]

Just buy it online

[@rayquintanilla614]

These Casios are so hard to resist picking up. They have such nostalgia for me personally. They just give you that “throw back” feeling. So dang cool! I’m glad these type of watches are still going strong, still cheap, and are fantastic collection starters. I am happy that the “mullet” did not follow them though. Yeah, that was just a bad deal!

[@OFD]

I had a mullet for a couple summer's in the late 80's. Always got caught on creeper wheels when rolling under vehicles. Looked so awesome😉🤣 but so impractical!!

[@pierredupuy4242]

One feature on the stopwatch I didn't notice on your well-done review - it has a split time mode: -1 start the stopwatch as usual by pressing the top left 'START/STOP' button -2 press the bottom right 'LIGHT' button -3 the readout stops, but the stopwatch is still measuring total elapsed time. You'll see the 'SPL' in a small font above the 1/100s second readout at the far right of the screen. -4 press the 'LIGHT' button again and the stopwatch will resume showing the correct total elapsed time - 'SPL' will disappear. Press 'LIGHT' again and you can continue this cycle of stopping and starting the readout. Useful when you have runners / vehicles / boats etc... crossing a set mid-point or a finish line and you need to halt their time momentarily while the stop watch continues on. -5 to exit split time: press the 'LIGHT' button so that the stopwatch display starts running again, you are back in regular stopwatch mode. Press the top left button to stop/start as needed, the bottom right 'LIGHT' button is now the reset to '0' button once again. Nice extra feature many digital stopwatches do not have - especially at the price of this W-218H!! I decided to buy this W-218H rather the base model G-SHOCK DW-5600E for several reasons: bigger LCD display / thinner case that fits more easily under a shirt cuff / no need for 200M water resistance, 50M is good enough to go swimming. I have a 200M water resistant dive watch for when I do SCUBA or snorkel - although something has gone very, very wrong if I find myself 200 meters down!!

[@yogeshsahu6462]

Ive been running this watch for years. I used it trough my army service and a construction part time job. its survived EVERYTHING, and i mean everything when i say it. I can recommend this! after 2 years, the wrist strap gave out, but casio sells OEM replacements for 10 bucks.

[@ivanjerez2417]

Hey brother. I love the simplicity of these. Just a sweet everyday beater!! Alot for the coin! Great review!!👍😊

[@fattmatt200]

In the UK, they are a bit more pricy, but still are great. I keep my eye out for used very good examples that go for about half price. It would look good with some bull bars on it, if the back has the right recesses.

[@HarryUnchained]

thanks for the overview of the watch, just bought this for my dad. he loves his old casio ae1000 as a beater so much and it looks pretty disgusting now lol. ordered this one in blue for him. cheers.

[@matthewvz28]

[@csharpewalls]

My son must be watching your channel because he gave me this watch for my Birthday 🎂 A new beater.

[@OFD]

It's a really great watch for the $$ my man. It performs well above it price point. Plus, it's super simple and comfortable 👍😊 Reminds me of my first gshock back in the early to mid 80's

[@dariokocirov8910]

Cheap or not, If I had millions, I would still buy this watch

[@dylanpollard890]

In case any fellow Canadians are curious, here the F-91W is $24.99, and the W218H is $29.99. So far less than double the cost in the Great White North.

[@Tobruk42]

thank you for the very clear and on point review. i love my f91w, but not the small band. i moved to the w217h which fits better and has better size, but it was still missing the rugged look i wanted. i watched your review earlier and bought this model in black. thank you again!

[@TheGoodwolfe]

Thanks Aron, great point, & tbh, you really can't go wrong with any one of around 45 cheap Casio's available for $25 or less. Yes!, I just counted, there are around 45 different Casio watches on Amazon, all styles, sizes, all for less than $25 bucks! So, getting a quality beater, that you know is reliable, fairly rugged, and will last is a no-brainer. So, thanks Aron for showing us all just one example of what's out there for cheap! ;-)

[@OFD]

Excellent point. You really can't go wrong with these models. They usually last much longer than expected, a have a lot of useful functionality. 😎👊👍👍

[@theflemrovian6563]

[@woonfaseng8737]

This case design is actually based on an discontinued G shock DW-5300. . . i am from singapore , this watch is relatively new only out in 2018 , i purchase this and sold a few on my local sales platform called Carousell. this is the Beefed up version of F-91w which is more of vintage male size.

[@slothacoustics]

Oh hey! I'm about to buy one from Carousell 😂, looking for a watch for NS. The one I bought from Mustafa Centre was cheap, but the thin strap keeps breaking. This one looks more rugged.

[@stfuplsok]

it is the upgraded version of the model F-108WH.

[@gitmoholliday5764]

I use these resin straps for the 18mm Vostok watches also and even 18mm vintage 60/70s dress watches, it maybe sounds weird, but I think these straps go well with vintage 🤗

[@OFD]

Not a bad idea really. They have been using these for decades, so they can definitely have s vintage vibe/feel. Thanks for pointing that out 😎👍👍

[@elverantisodaii8875]

Mine arrived today, got the orange strap, looks waaaay better in person.

Good work sir...I should say that in fairness to the mighty Casio the plastic they use for their buckles etc is extremely tough !!

[@agw100100]

UK £15 , price currently at ARGOS which makes it a good buy. Good for the price and will probably last years. Not so easy to slip under sleeves of running, cycling, outdoor gear as I'd like.

[@Milkman4279]

I got one of these yesterday. I was looking at the F-91W, but I have 8-inch wrists and bad eyes, so it was too small in a couple different ways. This watch is bigger, and just as good.

[@OFD]

You made an excellent choice!!

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Love a good bargain watch like this. Looks cool in green👍👍

[@OFD]

It's an absolute must try for the money!!😎👍

[@JS-cg3ir]

FYI: The bell icon is for the hourly chime, the repeating lines icon is for the alarm. Kind of backwards but that's the way it is.

[@nw7053]

Nice review. Which one you prefer, this watch or W217H?

[@randyguess3124]

The plastic buckle will far outlast the band, so I can't see the logic of using a metal buckle instead. Great review. I love this model.

[@saevans63]

I just checked Amazon Australia site and these watches are $36.95AUD or around $26USD. It would be good if we could get them for the cheaper price here. As always great review

[@ChrisG3253032]

Still Australia gets them cheaper than we do here in New Zealand. I recently bought a W800H for $60. The somewhat iconic CA-53W for $55, and a AE-1000W for $50. Much dearer than the U.S, U.K or Aus. It's annoying, especially for those of us that don't do "online shopping". Still, they're all great watches and I'm happy regardless.

[@Apple24591056039201]

Hi I just bought this watch but In all black and I got the right time except I can't seem to figure out how to put It into am right now my time Is 11:57am and that's the time my watch Is displaying however It says PM not AM how do I change this If anyone knows please let me know thanks

A big factor for me is the LED light, which is FAR better than the LED in the 91. It's now possible to get this watch for the same price or even slightly less than the 91.

Terrific review of a great budget Casio,Aron,but there is just too much throwing away of plastic l don’t see why theses watches are disposable any watch stall or jeweller can replace the plastic buckle if it breaks and changinging a battery on a Casio is not brain surgery too much disposable attitudes while the planet is drowning in plastic which never breaks down we’re stuck with it. -Robyn,Sydney australia

[@josephd.davison6766]

hi bro ¿Can it be placed in 24 hour format?

I got one. It looks nice on your wrist. Mines looks small like a toy lol. My wrist is 8 inches. I still like it, lasted me 3 years and counting. Bracelet hasn't broken. It's date function counts by the months (jan, feb, ect) so don't need to adjust the date window like in other watches. The backlight still works. Overall good just a bit small.
