Casio Digital MRW-200H-1E

Product Information

I don’t have to sing from the rooftops the praises of this watch — it does it for me. Every time I wear it out and about, someone comments on it (and you all know how rare that is). Maybe it’s because it’s so nice looking and has great dimensions and capable specs: Umm, don't remember. It is a Hollywood-style rear projection scene-setting device, aka my computer monitor.

With the southern hemisphere easing into spring and summer not far away with boisterous aquatic activites on the cards, I figured wanting a summer beater would be a good excuse to try one.You can get it wet, muddy, and scratched up without worry that it will fail you. And, if something should happen, it won’t break the bank to replace it. The MRW200H comes in dozens of color and dial variations. The particular variant we reviewed at DIVEIN was the 3BV, with neon green Arabic numerals on the dial. However, all the MRW200H watches are built with the same materials and to the same technical specifications.

Darn, I should have worked less and skipped school more so I could be a "soshal me jar influenzer". Maybe there is still time for a side gig: Since the MRW200H is water-resistant to 100 m, has a friction bidirectional bezel, and a push-pull crown, it cannot be considered a true dive watch. Nonetheless, the 100 m rating should give confidence that, so long as the crown is firmly pushed in, the watch will be perfectly functional doing pretty much any water-related activity except scuba diving. Analog: 3 hands (hour, minute, second). Case / bezel material: Resin. Watch Information. Resin Band. Accuracy:± 20 seconds per month. battery life: 3 years on SR626SW.

Casio is a world leader when it comes to affordable watches, and this particular offering is the greatest bargain of the bunch. Those trusty words “Casio” and “100 m” on the dial give great reassurance that this watch is ready for an adventure.
