The New King Of The Casio's - Casio W-218H

[@aaronaustrie]

I just got myself one. The fit and functionality is 👌🏾❤️🔥

[@billpotter7162]

I love this watch and call it a "C Shock" because it's cheap and tough as nails.

[@adastra5346]

I've got one. $15 US....and it is one of the best watches I've ever owned. I have beat this thing to hell and back.....and it still going strong. Highly recommend.

[@sethmay7187]

Phenomenal watch! It's been my daily go to for around a year! Tough as nails, and easy to work with!!

Hvala na preporuci, kupio sam ga i ne skidam ga s ruke ! Stvarno je novi Kralj ! U Srbiji košta 30€ u redovnoj prodaji.

[@Rick-ve5lx]

I have a couple of G-shocks & this beats them in viewing angle, loudness of alarm, comfort on wrist and size of digits. The display is really good and better than a G.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Absolutely love this watch, my collection ranges all the way up to Breitling but this is still one of my favourites.

[@Rick-ve5lx]

Jason The Watch Guy I foolishly sold mine during a clear-out as I have a few G-shocks in the collection . They’re better watches in theory yet somehow spend their time in a display case. W218 is definitely superior if not as over-engineered. Maybe that’s the reason.

[@mariansnyder4437]

That's going a little far lol its def not better than a gshock doesn't even beat the dw5600

[@Rick-ve5lx]

@@mariansnyder4437 You’re right in that it isn’t as robust and the plastic screen isn’t great. Of course it isn’t as high quality as a G but the alarm is definitely louder and the display is better. And the pushers are easier to operate.

[@muudus_tv]

how does it compares with casio w 800H model ?

[@SlavaVB]

It uses the same bull bar as a DW5600 or GW-M5610

[@kristopherjazz9295]

I just got this watch as a gift. I really enjoy how simple and light it is. Excellent video review

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

It's a brilliant watch and it'll last you for years to come

[@gregnutter4658]

I just ordered me one. I love the cheap Casio watches. It's cheap enough if you damage one, get another. Spot on Casio and nice video.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Brilliant buy, still have mine and still love it

[@playfun5218]

I prefered this one instead of a gshock model. A modern case version of old F91W with a much better light.

[@davidswiggett8389]

Saw your video on one of the Facebook groups I’m in. Nice review. Subscribed. Keep working it.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Thanks man! I'll have more coming soon!

[@NormanF62]

Casio came out with it because the F91 to many people felt like a kid’s or women’s size watch and they wanted something bigger and more rugged and it delivered. The smaller watch will still be available to people who want a more petite watch but now there is choice so you can pick what suits you best.

[@TimothyW8]

This is also Casio paying homage to itself: a vintage G Shock 5300

[@jim.m75]

Thanks for a good review, I'm just replacing my work beater W 217 (after three happy years, just too scratched now!) and I noticed this 218 model. I think you just convinced me :)

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I think you'll love it, perfect work beater or just general life beater!

[@justafanmarvel9669]

I was wondering what the difference is between the 217 and this 218... are they the same with color variation or are the features different cause they look pretty close from what I can tell

[@petey1234567ful]

i just bought one with the orange strap

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Good choice! I've been tempted to buy the orange version

[@raymondnewton2388]

I bought one with the orange strap last year from Amazon. Just the job.

[@trevorfrancis3175]

I agree. This is a great watch for under $15.00 here in the US. I have the green version just because most of my Casio's are black. Agreat beater watch for sure.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

This is probably my favourite casio to date! Mostly use it while running or exercising and works perfectly for me!

[@Soggz7785]

Hello Jason. Hope you are well. I was looking for a watch just to ‘knock about in’, for an upcoming holiday abroad. Saw this vid, and went onto fleabay and bought one of these in white. £17.50, can’t go wrong. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Brilliant! Enjoy the holiday my guy!

[@Flux799]

If this had a countdown timer and a slightly recessed face it would be perfect.

[@SamsWatchReview]

One of my favourite digital beater. Bumped, scratched, sprayed, still works fine even after years. The only concern is the straps, as usual :D

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

You're right! With the straps I guess it comes with the budget territory, once it dies easy enough to replace

[@SamsWatchReview]

@@JasonTheWatchGuy true, can't really complain for the price :D

Brilliantly presented review ...BUT I can't see what this has over the W86 which has a fully backlit display. Thumbs up nevertheless.

[@minixmedia2844]

Hi Jason, Very nice review, will be getting one in the next couple of days. I have only since lockdown really started taking an interest in watches and happy to say so far although my collection has only just started have the following watches, Tissot PR100 PowerMatic 80, Invicta Pro diver 8926OB, Casio Royale in Silver and a Timex Expedition. I liked your review about the Depth Charge Diver and thinking about that too. Also wanted to say I like your reviews as they are really down to earth and to the point and now I have subscribed looking forward to catching up on all your past and future reviews. I was getting a bit bored with Bens Watch Club !

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Thats an impressive collection if you've just started, some solid pieces in there. Thank you for subscribing, I really do appreciate it and I'll have plenty of content for you in the future

[@Mr.DippsChad]

[@snakemont]

The W218 is a Boss, got myself one in orange! I was looking for F91 with a better Backlight. I was looking at the skmei 1412, The Casio 105, or The Casio W86. I got already the W202 and Its a Boss, but not so much my type, a G Shock 5400, great Watch, but I want a slimmer. I have the A168 ...but want one with a resin strap.

[@surviver111]

can you please measure how big in mm the digits are for the time

[@tech29X]

I own this watch, and love it. Own too many other watches, some are automatics that require more care. This one is really the best wear and forget watch. The G-Shocks are bulky, less comfortable and buttons on G-Shock are so recessed that it is hard to push them. On the other hand the F91 is legendary Casio, and great for a teenager to wear but looks anemic on the wrist. The light on F91 is very weak, outdated. W218H strikes perfect balance between the Gorilla feel of 5600 G-Shock and tiny feel of F91. I just wish the lug width for the strap was 20mm so we can wear with standard nato style straps.

[@alexmasters6015]

& a 'Marlin" would have made it perfect!

I wish it had a battery meter and a sunrise / sunset mode...

[@enesemresoyler7121]

Can ı swim with casio w218h? And Is the front glass durable?

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

It has 50m Water resistance which is ISO certified so i'd happily take it swimming. The front glass is simple acrylic so can be prone to scratching.

[@sethmay7187]

I work security in a hospital, which unfortunately involves going hands on from time to time. I've been wearing this same watch for around a year, and I have minimal scratching on the crystal. It's been very durable so far! Definitely the most durable watch I own, well, aside from a freakishly tough Fossil watch I bought in 2004 or 2005.

[@onedirection3510]

Maybe someone can explain. This 218h is rated for 50m. Yet, several reviewers don’t recommend that you shower or swim with it. Clearly neither showering nor swimming come even close to the 50m mark. Is this watch that poorly built?

[@jeffj318]

You can shower and swim with this watch. People shower, swim and even dive with the F91W which is only water resistant.

[@Clearanceman2]

Does this know the year or only the month?

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I'm not too sure, I could be month only, worth checking the casio website

[@Clearanceman2]

Pretty sure the month because it said in the manual it assumes Feb is 28 days so I guess every four years you have to adjust the date. LOL. For the money, it's amazing and I have two G shocks with the auto time keeping and solar. This is more clear but thinner and lighter as you say. It doesn't replace them but is a nice addition.
