Casio W800H Digital Watch

What Stands Out
What To Check
The Casio W800H is a plain black square digital that looks like it came out of a field kit. It weighs 37 g, carries a 100 meter water rating and runs on a battery Casio rates at about 10 years. It is one of Amazon's top sellers in Men's Wrist Watches.
The appeal is how little it asks of you. There is no app, no charger and no date to fix at the end of short months, since Casio lists a full auto-calendar to 2099. Set the time once, set a wake-up alarm, and it keeps running through lake days, yard work and early gym openings.
The Numbers That Matter
| Spec | What it decides |
|---|---|
| About 10 years on CR2025 | How long before you think about it again |
| 100 m water resistance | Whether swimming and rinsing off are fine |
| 37 g | Whether you notice it during a lift |
| 1/100 sec stopwatch, split time | Whether it times sets, sprints and laps |
The stopwatch. Casio lists a 1/100 second stopwatch with split time and a capacity just under 24 hours, which covers anything from a 40 yard dash to a long drive.
The fit. The band fits 145 to 215 mm wrists, a wide range for a strap that may someday move from Dad's wrist to a kid's nightstand.
Who It Is For
The dad who wants a light, water-ready digital for the gym bag, the boat or the truck console. Skip it if you want a countdown timer; the Casio AE1200WH sets one to the second and the Casio AE1500WH adds auto-repeat. For a five-button training watch, see the Timex Ironman Classic 30, and for steel and a bezel, the Casio Duro MDV106.

The Short Version
This is the watch to throw in a gym bag or tackle box and forget about for years. I would pick it for a dad who wants a stopwatch, an alarm and a light in something that weighs next to nothing. If you need a countdown timer for intervals, step over to the Casio AE1500WH.
