Casio ws210h affordable tough solar greatness

[@retrogaming1986]

I've had this watch for 10 years now. Only change I had to make was a metal band, but it's been the best watch I've ever owned. Never changed the battery, and it still charges every day

[@erickamaka8282]

What happened to the plastic one and does the resin crystal have scratches to-date?

[@gpin27]

I have this model since 2010. The time erased the white "tough solar" at the top. Just sent to the watch service, cleaning and polishing the "glass" and now I have it as a brand new!! Works with same battery since the day I bought it. AWESOME PIECE..

[@quiterioalbertobaezbenitez5739]

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU... I ALSO HAVE IT SINCE 2010. THE SAME STUFF/"PROBLEM" WITH LETTERS BUT .. I DON'T REALLY MIND. WELL, OTHER DIFFERNT THING IS THE WRIST. GOT TO BUY ONE ORIGINAL ONE DAY OF THESE. I'VE BEEN USING ANOTHER BLACK PLASTIC WRISTS SINCE THE ORIGINAL WAS BROKEN BY USING IT. IT LAST 5 YEARS AT LEAST. ONE QUESTION: IS IT THE CRISTAL MINERAL OR PLEXYGLASS MADE?? THANK YOU !!! & GREETINGS FROM SPAIN!

@@gpin27 muchas gracias amigo Gaston. Saludos desde las Islas Canarias. Que relojito tan fantástico por su precio. Me costo 35€. Y lo sigue manteniendo en los comercios. Resiste, da mucha información, múltiples funciones, ni preocuparse por cambio de baterías... genial, y encima atractivo (de lejos parece de la gama g-shock)

[@erickamaka8282]

Do the written wording on the watch like tough solar etc come out after time? Do you also still have its band?

[@panaceiasuberes6464]

Its the ultimate keeper. Tidegraph going strong and precise to 3 minutes after 5 years, timekeeping around +3 seconds a month, goes forever with the solar battery... amazing.

[@Zero-mr9hp]

If you buy one of these consider keeping the little stand it comes on. That way when you're not wearing it you can put it on its stand some place where it gets light so it stays charged. Of course you could just lay it on its side somewhere, but it looks a lot more presentable on the stand.

[@mattmatt2417]

I have a watch case,that holds 12 watches, with a glass window and I also have a sun therapy light,thats like 32thousand lumens or something and I have it setup to automatically come on periodically to charge my watches, it also has a drawer underneath it,that holds my other EDC type stuff/rings,necklaces,bracelets,electric lighters,metal pens,sunglasses and so on,but I do keep my watch boxes and everything that comes in them,on a display shelf,with blurays and books.

[@whoopslee]

Setting up my digital watch for the first time wasn't all that hard, but it was definitely a little frustrating. Good thing is that after you set it, you can forget it! Tough solar basically became a must for me when looking at digital watches since it gives me peace of mind since I can see how much of the battery is charged just by looking at the face. I still look for multiband 6 keeping when l;ooking at potential buys, since it makes maintenance that much easier, and also just gives the peace of mind when I see that it received the signal and everything is perfect.

[@Digital111]

Tbh with digital watches, even the cheapest non-solar Casios, you don't have to worry about the battery. Unless you use the light an alarm everyday that is. I started collecting watches in 2012 and I still haven't replaced a single battery on any of my digital. I never use the alarm or the light though. I like perfect timekeeping and I also worry about the battery but with digital ones you can tell as they spend the last week or so of battery life with the numbers fading a bit, so even without the indicator it's easy to tell when the battery needs to get replaced. They are also very accurate, I wear my whole collection in a rotation and adjust the time every two weeks and they only lose about 3 to 5 seconds.

I just bought this after watching your review. 10/10. Favourite of my collection now. And the cheapest

[@rishijai]

One of the best Casio watches. Mine is on 9 years and battery is now dying. I have scuba dived with it to 60 ft and it never broke the seal. I'm sure I could get at least 5 more years if I changed the battery and rubber seal.

[@SHARPGFX-dc9gj]

I love Casio watches.

[@SantiagoAyoso]

It's a small watch but it has a lot of nice tools. The best of course it's a tough solar. Thanks for the video

[@nervion57]

Hola ! Los 4 tornillos que están en la parte frontal.¿ Son tornillos de verdad metálicos o son tornillos de imitación de plástico? Gracias y saludos desde España 🇪🇦

[@Afterburner]

I've had this watch since 2011. As advertised in the day, the battery is supposed to last 30 years. It has been a reliable friend to me for 13 years now and I have only had to change the band. It is indeed a tough piece of kit - I've only had to polish it to remove scratches on the crystal, but everything else is fine... Great watch.

[@erickamaka8282]

What do you use to polish it (the crystal) and when is it convenient to do so? Is it venerable to scratches and how long does the watch band last?

[@Afterburner]

@@erickamaka8282 - I used toothpaste and gently rubbed it in - It isn't perfect but it did improve the crystal look...

[@Betruger4Ever]

Thanks man. I bought ws210h because of this review. Perfect watches!

[@blintorzabat5798]

This is a great watch, with a great module. It's basically the same module, functionally, as the ones in the GW-9110 Gulfman, and the GW-7900 Rescue. Though those G-Shocks have EL instead of LED lighting. Big deal, all three are legible in the dark. Loud alarms, accurate tide display - don't know how Amazon can sell this non-G-Shock for so little money, but I'm not complaining. Thanks for another great review!

[@stfuplsok]

usually, the manufacturers are the one that set the fair market price/value of their products (costs) before it goes to its distributors/sellers like Amazon, etc. for their retail.

[@mathewrandolph2301]

Watched this video on 10-22 2020, was eerie seeing the same date on his watch.

[@traviswalker8933]

This one has a similar display layout and functions as the GW-9110 Gulfman and the GW-7900.

[@melusinecentun5847]

Hi! I have this model, in grey with the bracelet and it is great: one great aspect is the alarms are really loud, this watch has become my alarm clock so I do not wake my daughter up. A negative is that the crystal is plastic and scratches very easily. Take care, Irène.

[@RandomRobReviews]

+Melusine Centun The alarm is great. I made sure it is off now for Joe. It was annoying him with its loudness, haha.

3 years after this video was released I still had not a single G-shock. Now I have 12. All of them with tough solar. This watch is not a G-shock. And the chrystal is acrylic. But it has tough solar. A selling(and buying) argument in itself. At the pricepoint it's indeed attractive. And I like the design.

[@swabby429]

That's a very nifty watch. The big selling factor is Tough Solar.

[@spankyharland9845]

in the horology work book, they classify these watches as computer electronic - non-mechanical, no moving parts aside from the button pushers.

[@sirgigachad1894]

I just watched the vid again with the same watch on my wrist

[@NewBookz]

I have this exact watch, it is my go to watch when I am busy and want comfort on the wrist.

[@DaMAV3R1CK]

I was hoping to see how you set up the tide, which unfortunately you skipped haha

[@gitmoholliday5764]

setting the tide is quite easy, you need to check your local tidegraph on internet.. then set the given time of the closest high tide in the watch and you are done ... 1) push the mode button until you are in the "tide" screen .. 2) press the adjust button and enter the nearest high tide time .. press adjust again to lock it and that's all.. the screen will show 06.00 again but nevermind that. ( maybe every month check a tide graph and adjust it ) you can also use it for fishing.. the best catch will be 2 hours before or after high tide 😎

[@gitmoholliday5764]

@W Jack well.. if you are living in GA ( = Georgia ? ) 6 hours from the ocean you need to find a "tide" website with the closest beach town .. see what time the nearest high tide is and use that time to set the tidegraph in your Casio. I'm pretty sure there isn't a website with tide statistics for inland locations also inland the tides will be barely noticeable. ( have a great day and let me know if you figured it out 👍🤓 )

[@gitmoholliday5764]

@W Jack take a look at this .. I bet you need to set it to Savannah to get the best settings. www.usharbors.com/harbor/georgia/savannah-ga/tides/ or an other option South Carolina Myrtle Beach : www.tide-forecast.com/locations/Myrtle-Beach-South-Carolina/tides/latest there will be about 25 minutes difference between Savannah and Myrtle, not only because of the moon position, it is way more complicated than that.

[@gitmoholliday5764]

@W Jack well.. if you set the time it will last you a long time before it needs to be adjusted.. I do check and reset every month or so.. beware it is a bit funny you press the reset button while the screen shows you "moon" but the moment you press the reset button it flips to the tidegraph settings.. there you set the nearest high tide time.. save the setting and that is it.. the tidegraph shows 6.0 again just ignore that. the watch is probably using average 6 hours up tide and down tide.. in reality at many locations on earth it takes longer or shorter than 6 hours to go from low to high tide.. ( overhere = Netherlands ) we can use the settings to check if it is safe to walk from the mainland to a couple of islands out in the sea.. if we mess up and the high tide comes in before we reach the island we are in big trouble 🤓🇳🇱 if you like to check out the area and islands.. search for "WADLOPEN" on KZbin 👍

[@SHARPGFX-dc9gj]

Very nice watch.

[@crayfish9945]

Their " Twin Sensor " watches have " Temperature & Compass " . " A Tripple Sensor " adds an " Altimeter," " a Quad Sensor " adds a " G.P.S. Step and Direction Map " on the face. Which could come in handy if you go for a Hike in the forest or a Trek in the Desert !

[@traviswalker8933]

Direction map? That comes on only the F-20 ProTrek and the GPR-B1000 G-Shock.

[@ghazaliyaakob]

I got this watch last week after watching your video, thanks to your review. now there's one thing got me confused concerning the module number, in the caseback the module number is 3214 as the manual book stated, but in the test screen it shows 3193 and when i checked this module number in Casio website this module 3193 is for another model that has atomic timekeeping. do you have any explanation for this ?

[@mrstxx2048]

They use sometimes the same pbc board, for example my W800H doesnt have countdown but actually it has the function but they diasable it with a welding in the pbc, I removed it and now have countdown.

[@lynneftw]

Simple with some decent functions. That's what I love about Casio. Wish I could find a watch that isn't obnoxiously huge (I have a 7" wrist), but gives me tide (and timer to next high and low tides), ABC with storm alarm, compass, and world (UTC specifically) time...with a long battery life. Any suggestions?

At 12:00 ( P.M.) Noon The Sun causes your " Shadow " to Point to the " True North " ! Provided that the Earth's Axis's Tilting last year in 2019 didn't alter that !!

Can someone tell me what the music note with a line through means? It still makes noise when the alarm goes off. Thanks.

It just means that the watch won't make sound when you go through different modes. It may also not make sound when you start or stop the stopwatch. However, it will make sound for the alarm when it goes off

Unless you live by the ocean or need to " know the tide " as in work or play why would you " Need them " ! And The " Moon Cycles, " Unless you Lived in a " Cave " and only came out when the it was either a " New or Full " Why would you need That kind of " Novelty " ?
