CasioCollection Men's Watch W-217H

Fast delivery from US to UK.Nice digital watch if your looking for one bigger than the legendary F-91 and with a brighter backlight.Fits a 7.25 inch wrist perfectly. Strap is long enough for an 8.5 inch wrist.

A classic vintage style watch with a very readable screen. It looks like a 1980s eBay find, but is bang up to date with a good backlight and 50m water resist. The alarm is loud enough but no snooze. Everything is simple to use and its like a f91w for 2024. The gold trim looks really nice. I love it and I am a bit OCD about my watches. Alarm, 100th second stopwatch, hourly time signal, 12 or 24 hour display. Very light with reasonable strap. Buy it!

Bought this as an upgrade to the iconic F-91W which I've had for years and I must admit, I'm very pleased with it.

DELIVERY:I received an email from a delivery company called EVRI, but thought it was a scam and didn't pay attention, this is a good few days before the delivery date of my Amazon order was stated and coming from America to UK, I did make the connection, but thought nothing else of it simply because I hadn't heard from Amazon themselves, perhaps the delivery date might have changed but I didn't go and check on Amazon myself. It's only on receiving another email today from EVRI and actually reading it that I saw pictures of a package round the back of my building since yesterday!! I've not heard anything at all from Amazon my item is simply checked as delivered with yesterdays date. I'm just a little surprised that I've not heard anything through Amazon via emails as they're usually great with the delivery updates. I'm just grateful I realised and it hasn't been taken or bad weather. Something for the UK buyers to be aware of.WATCH:Pros -The watch itself is lovely and has all the great basic presentation and functions that you're used to just with a bigger face and strap. The digits are even bigger than my current Casio I thought was big, so that's a pleasant surprise. The light up dials function isn't something I've seen in a positive screen, it's great and was in fact one of the reasons I purchased it. The box and casing of the packaging is different than I'm used to with an almost presentation stand feel to it. It makes me want to keep it hidden away just in case they stop making them!Cons -I'm slightly disappointed by the strap loop not having some form of stopping or limited ride up the strap the excess strap around your wrist might require constant adjustments, but I've just opened it with no days of experience living with it on my wrist, so I don't know. The strap concern is the only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars.CONCLUSION:It's nice enough to consider buying the other version. I'm keeping mine in the box, but I'm glad I own one even if it is in the draw for now.

Cassio is high quality we all know. For the price I think it was a good watch and will atend my needs. I prefer the size of the 91w but the straps was short for me. This one looks nice and the straps it's better fit.

If you have a bigger wrist and the F91-W looks tiny on it then this watch is basically just a bigger version. Apart from size the only real differences are a much better back light, 50m water resistance, and larger display digits. Case colours are the same but the button configuration is different although functions are identical to the F91-W. The strap is much longer on the W-217H, probably a good 1" or more longer and wider by about 2mm. Couldn't find this watch locally to me in the UK so had to get it from Amazon US and it was delivered 5 days earlier than quoted. A good watch if you want a slightly beefed up F91-W.

I just wanted a low cost time piece that also gave the day and date, and a built in light to check the time in the dark. Purrrfect. It's also a genuine bit of retro as a bonus. As timeless as it is useful. Well pleased with the Casio.PS. Yes, the strap is quite looooong. Although I don't have a thick wrist this hasn't caused me a problem.

This is a review of model W-217H-1AVEF (the black/grey one rather than the black/orange one). The black/orange one has a tinted LCD and the back-light is not as good; I didn't like the black/orange model that I bought from Argos, so I took it back and bought this one from Amazon instead.The watch is basically a larger, and better, F91W: it's more waterproof, you can see it at night with the back light, the beeps are louder, the strap is a bit longer and looks easier to swap out than the F91W. It's like Casio decided to pimp their best selling, longest production run, famous watch and came up with this one.The light of the W-217H-1AVEF (the black/grey model) is really a lot better than the other model: it shines through the LCD giving a negative display at night. The black/orange version (W-217H-9AVEF) does not do this but rather just shines on the LCD.It's pretty accurate. The specs say +/- 30 seconds a month, but mine is about 4 seconds fast after over 2 weeks. You'll be very unlucky if you buy any Casio that turns out to be near the spec limit; I've never been that unlucky with any Casio.Good watch that does what you need and will probably survive any apocalypse.
