Why NOBODY IS TALKING about this new budget Casio. WS-1400H-3AV Review

[@CarsonLoewe]

This one is GREAT. The size is fantastic and on par with the orig GShock Square. So for those not looking for a chunky watch -this one is it. Looks and clarity is boss.

[@ryanng328]

Ordered this last night, excited

[@halfpastblog]

Enjoy!

[@jkwyx8290]

Have had this for exactly a year. It does everything. So many features. Still want to get the DW290 but can’t justify it at times when this ones does so much more than that, sans the backlight of course, which is where the 290 wins.

[@RelativeTime]

Great review as always. I'm not sure, I'm kind of mixed on this one. The case shape reminds me a bit of the Nautilus with those pointless beefy side wings.

[@holgermuller3597]

The last time I said "Meh" about a watch, it was the 007 Omega . Very professional made video, my friend! The first seconds feel like an Casio advertising. So I am looking forward to your next one 👍👍👍

[@halfpastblog]

I appreciate it! 👍👍

[@Z-S-H]

This was a great watch cover man!

[@halfpastblog]

Thanks so much!

[@voiceofexperience]

I wanted the ANTI "Casioak", so... When I heard this model wasn't popular, I immediately ordered one. It was, of course heavily discounted. I got the black & green version. It's a great watch, and will be my go-to for spring & autumn.

[@akosleventekolb]

I actually own one. It's great for running, especially for interval training since it has lap memory and auto repeat countdown timer. The only draw back is the resin band. It's too stiff for me and because of its shape it applies pressure on my wrist which makes it a bit uncomfortable to wear. Other than that it's a beautiful watch packed with a lot of features.

[@cs1992]

I had the same issue with the band pressure points. I solved it by holding a flame to those pressure/ridge areas and flattening them out.

[@halfpastblog]

Interesting.

[@rileeb848]

Can you program two countdown timers on it for rest/recovery times? Thanks for mentioning this! I've been looking for a non-smart running watch!

[@akosleventekolb]

@@rileeb848 not to my knowledge.

[@bngr_bngr]

I wish it came in all white. I don’t like the dual color. My favorite inexpensive Casio is the w218h in green.

[@MikeSmith-er1qs]

I see I’m not the only one that had problems with the band. I found it had no flex around my wrist knuckle and sat very uncomfortably. I ended up taking that band off, putting it on a nato (made it a very comfy watch), and gave it to my daughter. Good watch but put it on a nato!!!!

[@aaw376]

Nice review of the ws-1400. This one is in my daily lineup for work watches. The first thing I did, was loss the strap and replace it with my broken Ft-500w Forester nylon velcro strap. Huge difference! The start/stop and lap reset buttons are perfectly placed for timer function for people who like to cook! 10 out of 10 in my book.

[@cs1992]

This is the key for this watch...replace the strap! I am looking for a rubber strap.

[@halfpastblog]

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoy yours.

[@sobakipro-8275]

W-800 also good a cheap. But this looks extreemly good! Thank you!

[@halfpastblog]

You are welcome.

[@cs1992]

I think a big problem with this watch is its CHEAP feeling band. I swapped mine out and it's made an improvement. Great review.

[@halfpastblog]

Agreed. I like the colour but in hand it feels cheap.

[@kevinwall2313]

I feel like it looks epic but I hear you on the cheap side

[@tonyabrego494]

I really like my 23 dollar silver model ws1400h paired with the stainless bracelet from the w218hd. Sort of robocop looking. Both have typical 18mm casio spring bars. the timers are fantastic

[@LV-42617]

Nobody talks about those el-cheapo digitals, because they keep running and running for years without ever given you any trouble, they simply do what they are supposed to. Those waches are "dumb" not "smart" (which is great) and they come as close to the perfect EDC time piece as it gets. Most probably the strap will wear and tear before the first battery change and in most cases the watch (unjustified) will end up in the trash and people just buy another.

[@halfpastblog]

💯💯💯

[@sathishkv5531]

It's looks very great .❤

[@brianfromireland]

Thanks for reminding me about the amazing GI Joe fighter planes ☺️ enjoyed looking them up … but couldn’t really find one that matched the watch , are you sure your not thinking about the battle cat from He Man 😂

[@halfpastblog]

Ha ha ha. Yes! That's close too. Definitely not an exact match to GI Joe or Cobra but you can tell they were going for that military vibe.

[@BCallum]

I have never been a fan of these digital watches. Cheers from Atlantic Canada!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!

[@halfpastblog]

A belated Merry Christmas to you too!

[@loombaron]

This is one of the only Casios I've seen that has laps and lap memory so hands down cuz most of the expensive Gshocks don't. Regarding quality you can't go wrong with a Casio.

[@Flux799]

Casio seems to have really upped the quantity over quality these days. Timex still makes low cost watches with high quality materials.

[@halfpastblog]

Even Timex is creeping up in price these days. 👎

You are too kind, M.

[@camaleopardo22]

World time? Where?

[@dunderhay9169]

This looks worth buying for the stop watch function, but that strap looks really uncomfortable. Thanks for reviewing 👍

[@halfpastblog]

My pleasure! I don't want to oversell how uncomfortable the strap is. It definitely is ok. It would just be more comfortable if redesigned.

[@cs1992]

The CHEAP strap is the only problem with this watch. Swap it out.

[@DzejWiJV]

Great video

[@halfpastblog]

Thanks a lot!

[@vipulgujar6010]

Hello, please recommend watch with interval timer and lap record feature! (Purpose : Running- Beginner )

[@michaelquigleyii8026]

This one is similar to the 2020 release of the W 737h

[@Samson2323]

Wished they made it, tough solar

[@halfpastblog]

Always!

[@eric2892]

It’s a new 2023 release? Do they have press releases? Influencer videos are press releases these days?

[@halfpastblog]

I imagine they must have some sort of press release. I simply googled it. (not an influencer)

[@nikoladj99]

Does it have auto led light?great review bdw

[@halfpastblog]

Unfortunately no. It will stay one for 1.5 or 3 seconds after pressed and then dim. Thanks a lot!

[@maljones.8737]

Great,honest review.not for me though. Thanks Alton.

[@halfpastblog]

Thanks so much my friend. 👍👍

[@jimmyhung6087]

Can it press button under water won't break?

[@nathanaelsmith3553]

Everybody raves about the F91W but I don't like it. I think it's a cheap crappy old watch. The W86 is way better or the A168. I think many people bang on about the F91W as a kind of cliquey nostalgic inverse snobbery. I find them pretentious. The awful backlight makes it objectively bad. And it's not event that pretty. To me it looks tired and dated, not retro. If you're going to wear a cheap ugly beater at least get one with a decent backlight. I do like the look of the ones in funky colours but they still have a crappy backlight. Who needs that?

[@halfpastblog]

That kinda talk can get you into trouble! 😂 Not with me though.

[@RampartPh]

I think the f91w attraction is called terrorist chic.

[@nathanaelsmith3553]

@@RampartPh I don't know about terrorists but there is a TV documentary series called 'Commando' on Netflix about British Royal Marines. I noticed that one of them is wearing a W86 around barracks. I also saw an interview with an ex US Navy Seal who said he was issued with a G-Shock.

[@RampartPh]

@@nathanaelsmith3553 i've read that the f91w was part of a profiling element done by soldiers on Afghan "suspects" during the us-Afghanistan war because it was a regular component of ied bombs due to its cheapness and availability. so understandably they were wary of peeps wearing them. also obama bin laden was regularly photographed wearing this ubiquitous watch supposedly.

[@arminprnjavorac2084]

A700 is s great alternative as well

I just hate digital watches! That’s why nobody is talking about this and I NEVER buy on an influencer’s say so!

[@dunderhay9169]

I'm not sure why you are watching then. I do agree with you on digital, I find analogue much faster to read at a glance, but have nostalgia for them as I wore a digital as a kid.

[@rayvega3163]

Then why you’re commenting here? On a video that’s about a digital watch?
