Large face, durable and comfortable to wear
I prefer a larger case/face watch and in my old age wanted something easier to read after eye surgery. I have a small collection of mid grade watches, but most have intricate dials that have become hard to read at a glance without my "readers". I'm 71+ and those of you who've had cataract surgery know what I mean. You younger folks - your time is coming! But this watch, for the money is an awesome buy. The large case diameter is what I look for first. This one measures 50.34mm across the widest points on the rotating bezel. The high contrast yet simple numbers on the face give me what I need to see the time at a glance without my "cheaters." I'm not sure I'm sold on the woven/velcro backed strap, but it's not uncomfortable and is easy to adjust. I personally hate the silicone and rubber straps many watch makers are telling the market they "must have." But those cheap straps help keep overall costs down so they can charge less. So personally, I'll probably replace it with either a leather or stainless steel one. This watch has 20mm lug width so any band I'd replace it with will be kind of narrow. But it's easy to do and there are 100's of options to choose from. This watch is part of the "MRW-210H" line which comes in several other colors and styles, but has the same specs.One thing I had to laugh at was the other reviewers who said they sent their watches back because in trying to set the "day/date" window, some strange words popped up instead of the MON, TUE, WED, etc. they expected. If they had slowly continued to turn the dial, the "English" MON, TUE, WED, etc. would have appeared. Take your time and it's very simple to set. Casio sells watches world wide and they are smart enough to have put the days in several languages on each watch.One tip I can give, when setting the time, always turn the dial several times and go past 12 o'clock. If the DATE changes, you went past midnight. If the date stays the same, you only went past NOON. So set your time according to whether you are actually past noon or before noon in your day. This will save you a LOT of frustration when you get up the next day, thinking you have your day and date set properly, and find your date has advanced ahead one day on you.Casio first started building watches in the 1970's, and most stores here in the US carry only the low price units. But Casio also has a top-of-the-line brand called "Edifice" which generally average in the $200 to $500 range. The Edifice division was a major sponsor in Formula One auto racing for many years, backing Sebastion Vettel for several. I bought my first one in 2010 and now have 6 of them. They are still my most durable, favorite watches in my small collection. I have Nautica, Citizen, Invicta, Daniel Steiger, and several others that don't live in my "every day" box. Several of my Casio Edifice watches get worn at least once a week.I do recommend this watch highly if this is the size and style you prefer. There are several others I've noticed in the "MRW-200H"collection that are slightly smaller in diameter, if that's what you'd like. Either way, Casio is a great value in an every day wristwatch.

Great daily "beater" watch!
This watch is perfect for what I needed it for. An inexpensive daily watch that is a little bigger, and that looks good. I have expensive Casios but it's great that they also sell good looking budget watches. I'm not sure if I like the Velcro band but I can swap bands if I want to. The only bad thing I can say about it is there is lume only on the hands and it is very poor. Other than that it does what I need it to do.

53 mm watch face…keeps good time…strap broke after 4 years, throw it away?
Nice watch. Large enough face at 53 mm that it doesn’t look like a unisex watch AND you can read the time. Could have had a greater contrast between the face background & the numbers for easier reading of the time. However, I don’t dive and maybe it’s easier to read under water. LOL. But, after 4 years the strap cracked across the strap about half way down one of the lengths and it seems like a replacement strap from Casio costs as much as the same watch costs new. I’ve tried finding a replacement generic brand strap, however, based on my measurements & the dimensions on generic brands they don’t seem to jive. So, I’ll just use it as a pocket watch for work because that is what I have been using this watch for anyway.

CHEAP, FUNCTIONAL, EASY TO READ.
First the UGLY/BAD, the watch I received in the Original OEM Box sold by Amazon has a PLASTIC / Acrylic Dial Cover. It says MINERAL in the Description at the time of writing this review....but it in no way is it a Mineral Crystal. First day wearing it out of the house to go shopping it got a VERY NOTICEABLE "Smudge" that would not wipe or wash off and 3x Scratches on the lens. I used a bit of Glass Top Stove polish on my finger and a bit of water to remove them in just a few seconds. (Tooth Paste would do the job as well.) Acrylic is OK at this price point. I just thought I would let potential future buyers know it is NOT a Mineral Crystal Dial Cover as stated in the Description.The GOOD.....PRICE.....for the price of this watch you cannot go wrong. I've had it for two weeks now and it has only lost 1 Second of Time compared to my Computer Time that I set it by. It is OK to swim in and have on in the Rain. It is VERY easy to see and read when there is light around. It reflects even low light well and has good contrast. (I have the Black and White one.) The Hour and Minute hand do have LUME on them, but of course it only lasts for a few minutes when out of the light. This is NOT Super Luminova C-1 or C-3. LOLI bought this watch to wear when I work on the Car or Outside around the House so that if anything happens to it not a big $$$ loss. I also took off the Plastic Watch band that came with it and put a "The Band" Velcro Watch band on it. Love this type of Watch band for my watches that I wear to the Golf Course or Fishing. It is MUCH better than the Velcro that you have to feed through a Plastic or Metal Oval and NATO style bands. These things STAY on, you can micro adjust easily if your wrist swells in Heat or shrinks in Cold, and can come off FAST if needed to. I can also take it off and Wrap it around the Golf Cart Roof Brace to see the time on the course. $9 and $10 respectively for the The Band watch bands here on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Chums-Band-20mm-Wide-Watch/dp/B001AQON3S/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3IGEMHNFYSPLP&dchild=1&keywords=the+band+watch+band+velcro&qid=1616612251&sprefix=the+band+watch+band%2Caps%2C191&sr=8-4 and the normal size band https://www.amazon.com/Chums-Band-20mm-Watch/dp/B001AQTKEA/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3IGEMHNFYSPLP&dchild=1&keywords=the+band+watch+band+velcro&qid=1616612251&sprefix=the+band+watch+band%2Caps%2C191&sr=8-3I would recommend this watch to anyone wanting a decent low cost Analog Watch.

Great quality for the price lightweight
These are always quality watches. Good price last a long time, very durable. For the money, recommend buying any of these that you'd like

QUALITY = long durability IF taken care of!
The watch has a large easy to read face! No MICKEY MOUSE like so many others... just what I have been looking for (following 8/10 others) Casio is a terrific product. Having had their product previously... I feel I know it fairly well. The wrist band (Velcrow) is terrific... most other bands don't stand up according to many reviews. I'm confident of the durability because of my experience w/Casio!
