Well, I wasn;t joking when I called it a MASSIVE bargain, was I? Huge, but not completely obscene on wrist. It is still going to be a niche piece though, with the MRW200, Duro, or 5600 being a much better choice for most. Cheers, Jody
FUN FACT: MRWs movement & dials are the same size & shape of Duros, so you can use them to mod Duro cases. Duro bezels are compatible with Planet Ocean inserts, so you can make any number of color mod variations for about $100 total (I made an orange one)
^^ that is, you can insert the MRW dial & chapter ring directly in a Duro case with virtually no difficulty. At least the MRW200s are
Wild! so my white-face-duro fantasy is within reach??
😮@@bignz721
My duro has a planet ocean ceramic bezel😂
That is a great tip thank you
For older people with poor eyesight...I would imagine this might be an option. Another great video.
I have a MRW210H. It is a very large watch. I have 7.75" wrists so it works for me. The best part is it is very easy to read at a glance
Friday 13th???
Weird, here in Europe it’s Thursday 13th. 🤔
Nice video and nice working watch!
Nice Queen reference
you are NOT invisible Jody
Honestly I think it looks good on your wrist. Can’t go wrong with this one. Thank you for reviewing
Might get one. Take the band off and hook/loop to my boat dash.
It's almost big enough for a wall-clock!
My daily watch is a Mudmaster that’s about a hair bigger than this one, but it’s got a couple more features😂.
Ive got a Mudmaster..it's about 48 mm isn't it?
I have the GGB100-1A3, it’s about 55mm wide and 19mm thick. It’s a quad sensor with Bluetooth.
@@matthewclina4162 Cool .I haven't worn mine since the batteries ran out and my local Timsons wanted £100 to replace them lol If u say it's 55 I believe you
Enough about him, what about you
Just got a box in the mail today...AQS-810W, in same color green with a little orange tossed in....Tough Solar, $35 dollars delivered....my new daily work beater
With my aging and failing eyes, this might be the PERFECT watch!
Part of my reason for getting into watches was my wife complaining that my watches were too big. At the time, I was wearing 43-44mm Citizens. Now that the wife has gotten me down to 38-40mm watches....I'm thinking I should pick up one of these just to fool with her. 😈🤣
It’s important to let her know you aren’t intimidated. But also important to let her know you respect her. $40 for a few giggles is a small price to pay. Also, it can be useful for camping, skiing, snow sledding with it over your/her jacket or strapped on a tent pole or piece of equipment. (Not a good watch, but a serviceable clock on your boat, atv or hanging in your rv.
You could also just grow a pair 🍅🍅 😉
Wear what ya want
You listen to your wife about your personal choice…🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cheap and cheerful, i have a few Duros, I won't bother with this one. I wish Casio sorted out the lume on their watches - if they had good lume, i would be happy to pay another £15 for one, so for example a duro with C3 or BGW9 which lasted the night would be awesome for @ £65-70
I have the MRW 200 and Hydro modded it, the Dial looks awesome now, its a better watch then Duro for the Guys like me, with 6.5 inch wrists & smaller.
Btw your GShock Manga 2100 looks awrsome. 👌
I have a 200 and find the hands too thin to read easily - Did you find modding it magnified the legibility?
@marko1314 yes, slightly, however viewing it from different angles is what improved the most, I can see the dial from what was impossible angles before, also increases water resistance, but this I haven't put to the test.
✌️
Excellent presentation and review, I will be ordering one today, it’s good for outdoors , Jody , thx
It looks alright on your wrist.
Its beautiful little brother - 200H - with blue dial is the Casio I wear the most (out of my 35+ Casios).
I’ll get this one too soon !
200H and 210H are available just for around $15 here in India.
Have you ever reviewed the Casio AE-3000 Worldtimer? All digital, diameter somewhere in the mid 50s, three time zones displayed all the time. a magnified global time zone display, too. I call mine the Manacle. It's great fun. I don't know if they still make them. If so, I'd love to hear your comments.
The fact you didn’t mention Timex Indiglo for after-dark legibility hurt my heart. Indiglo blows ElectroLuminescent out of the water
Nice nod to Queen in the beginning. 👌
Also, 55mm is the same size as those WWII Fliegers that were worn on the OUTSIDE of their bomber jackets. 😎✈
Love this watch! It was actually one the watches that got me back into horology!! My black and white 210 is my beater!!
LOVE IT. Flippin' outstanding legibility at the best price! If you're not after a specific case shape or dial design, what more do you want? Day + date + time, it's all a watch should be. Perfection from CASIO.
In the old days, it was more defendable to buy Seiko watches. Sure they were not well spec'd and the QC was variable but they were cheap. Now they are NOT typically cheap. Maybe I would feel different if I grew up with Seikos ... wait I did, I had a mechanical chrono for YEARS and indeed it was the first watch I actually bought I think ... and I still don't like them today. They can do great dials but then let you down in the bracelets, clasps, price, and QC and I just feel like I get better watches for lower money in the micro brand world. In fact you can get better Seikos from LongIslandWatch than you do from Seiko. They will be better QCd, better priced, and they'll use better materials. Can't wait till LongIslandWatch starts doing their own versions of their Grand Seikos.
An MRW with 100m water resistance and a rotating bezel makes for a great daily beater watch.
For me, the best value Casio watches are those few that have 10-year batteries.
Thanks for this one, Jody! I was meh on this watch since I already have and love my MRW200H as my gardening/hard-use beater watch (I did put a screen protector on it, and will also on the 210). Until you hit upon its superpower: high-visibility tough/beater. Well, you said (paraphrased) "You can put it on the outside of your ski jacket." EUREKA! The 200 is great and all, very clear and visible. But small. Add some bouncing or other arm movement and its tough to read. Likewise with digital, any vibration and you can't read the thing at all. This 210 is the perfect high-activity, high-damage-risk watch. It doesn't say G-Shock but you know it can take a ton of abuse like all plastic Casios can. And all Casios drastically understate their water resistance so this one has way more than necessary for any activity not taking place at least 500-feet underwater. So if you're in a situation where you're likely to bash your watch hard on something like a tree or rock, or crash so hard that you could rip the watch right off your wrist, and lose it, THIS IS THE WATCH TO WEAR! When it all goes FUBAR, worst-case watchwise is that you're out 25 or so bucks. Otherwise, either you risk a watch that costs several to many many times this one, or you don't wear a watch. Screw both of those scenarios! The 210 gives you Set-And-Forget accuracy, easy reading in all conditions except darkness, and true worry-free use. Buy a dozen, put Aliexpress screen protectors ($4.50 for 15) on them, set them, hand some out to friends, keep a few as spares, and hit the slopes or trails or whatever life-defying activity you choose! 👍🏼
And yet again, the price is much higher on Amazon in the U.K and the scalpers have pounced on it on the Bay of E's.
I own the panda version...Black with the white dial. It is a big boy. You CAN use 20mm straps but wider straps are better as thin straps make the watch head more bulbous than it already is. It's a fun watch to wear and beat to hell though.
As the proud owner of a Casio Forrester, this thing scares the hell out of me.
Put it on your ankle! 🤣
Got that GI Joe look. My wrist size is 8.5 inches in diameter Jody. 😎
It'll work better on you than me mate, that's for sure!
@@JustOneMoreWatch 😎😁
This is a great watch. I've owned this but it stopped working after a 2 years and wouldn't work even after a watch battery change
I have about 4 Casio watches including an mrw200w this is my everyday carry and has given excellent service the other are a lot more expensive but not for everyday carry
Those bigger MRs feel like cheap husks on wrist. No idea why. The MRW200 is a much better option and make fun guts swaps for other Casios like MTD and MDV106s.
This watch in black and white was my foray back into watches. Needed a watch for work this did the trick for a few days.
Great size at a great price. I wear the Seiko tuna 53mm and am very happy with it on my wrist. This Casio would be fine as well.
I just bought a Casio watch 😂 I wanted something digital to add in my collection. My choice goes to Casio AE-1500, it's cheap, easily readable, and I love the design. The only niggle for me is the "crystal" is made from resin, but adding $2 tempered glass fixed it. The lack of electro luminous light maybe a deal breaker for some but I'm fine with the amber light. You should check it out 👍
Flavor Flav!
I have a black one with white hands. I keep it in my shower, and I can read it WITHOUT my glasses! (I'm very nearsighted.) I hope that I never get desperate enough to wear it in public!
Public enemy reference,Nice!!
At first I thought it was just a Green 200 until it's immense size was revealed. I've got a 200 which is great so if you have the wrist size for it why not. A solar 200 would be just about perfect.
Ordered the 200 by mistake… thought it was lame… now just ordered the 210!!! 👍🤣
I got the Khaki/Desert looking one recently and love it, the "Model: MRW-210HB-5BVCF)" was on offer a few weeks ago!
Wristclock. I like that term! Had a good laugh 😅 Although considering that whooping 55 mm diameter it doesn't lok too out of place on Jody's wrist
I have this one, the lume is not terrible for a Casio, It's enough to avoid grabbing the phone during a movie, I wish it had at least the 12 to guide you lol
3:01 correct me if I’m wrong, but if the second hand hits one marker, won’t it hit all of them?
Not always, even if they hit from 0-10 they often struggle to hit from 30-60.
@@JustOneMoreWatch Why?
If you wear glasses but don't have a prescription mask, this MRW might be great for snorkeling, as it's light weight, very affordable and obviously legible. The risk might be the 100 M water resist.
The MRW-S300H was the best. Unfortunately is no more available😢
Thanks for the review, Jody! At least in the video it really doesn't look that out of place on your wrist. I'm not going to trade in my Casioak for this model, but one thing I like better is that this one is entirely analog.
"This type of mineral - plastic crystal" I love this🤣
Casio makes a lot of watches--both styles and sheer number each year. Maybe they could drop the manual and just insert a card with a link to the support site?
What's this... Jody gushing over a big watch? I'm waiting for the review of the Oris Aquis Pro! 😂 Seriously, cool and fun piece and yes, why can't every quartz watch hit the markers so consistently? Cheers!
Too big for my mk1 wrist but l like the easy to read hands - Pity Casio didn't use larger sized hands on the 200 because the ones that are on it are too thin and hard to read.
I have the Black w/white face version. Great watch, LARGE (I'm 6'6" tall so doesn't wear that big), very easy to read. Downside is lume is TERRIBLE! Band isn't as comfortable as I would like, but definitely not terrible. Wouldn't trust the bezel for diving for sure. Found at Wal mart in the U.S. for $25 before tax.
Casio's are the best do all for the money beater watches.
Agreed, I tell new people who want to start wearing a watch to start by browsing the casio website.
How about the poor man’s G shock DW~291h is was £35 from Amazon and is stacked with features. What do you think Jodie
Jody, Vario from Singapore made and I purchased leather straps that are purpose built for these casios. I have swapped out 3 MRH-200’s with these straps. Fyi. Criss
1:12 I thought I was watching the MWC channel for a bit there. 🤣
It looks fine on your 7'' wrist despite it's dimensions.
Awesome t-shirt Jody, I love that song
Its Thursday the 13th. or Friday the 14th, isn't it?
I would pay the extra and get the Tough Solar.
Got the Seagull chrono, but not any of the others. I'm a complete failure obviously. I'll just have to console myself with my Baltany vacheron copy and a couple of Ixdaos.
Perfect rowing watch, just strap it to whichever oar best suits.
I just got one of these on Amazon. Thanks for your video. It is a whopper.
Nice. Now bring the LRW so we could have the three sizes to compare
Honestly a pretty good looking watch, especially for the price.
Too bad it's the size of a satellite dish.
Is this a sound candidate for filling up with silicon oil?
Hi Jody, could you post a link to that "elevator music" you use for unboxing sequences? I love it!
That 5600 digit is almost the same size of the MRW (might be bigger).
Great review. Love this one Jody. Casios, bring us more please.
This was a fun review to watch. Indeed a big watch but what a value for money. I still say there is no better value for money than the AE1200 but this is definitely a value as well.
What big one! Excellent as always Jodie.
Yeah, yeah, nice enough watch. Time to talk about that Lexus.
I'll leave that to the experts!
Good value as a wall clock 🤣
No problem reading the date without a little cyclops... It looks like the entire plasti-glass is one giant cyclops
I gave away my 200 a while back. Just purchased one of these in tan.
As someone with over 8.5 inches to contend with, this looks very interesting, plus im getting on so eyesight needs all the help it can get :P
How tough and durable?
I gotta get me one o these! Great review!
I opened up the back, and... 🎉 The text says "S. Epson VX63E" 😯
I see your Casio and raise you my Q&Q! Its got better loom too and I think its more affordable!
Just landed in Tokyo, seen this video and bought it in a Donki at 2290¥ (15usd). I'm too weak.
Could you please do a review on tsar bomba
I really love my Casio mrw 200h
How much does lum cost?? I think most people would be willing to pay a little bit more for better lum.
Not bad. Need a new Wall clock so might pick one up :)
Golly that's a big boy. Edging towards Invicta / dinner plate range. Otherwise a great value for a LOT of watch.
Why not ! It's a good big watch and I like a,big watch! Thanks Jody !!
In Canada they go from $42 to $49 on Amazon.
Cool watch will be good on my 8inch wrist and cheap enough to not miss the money.....
Vostock bezel vibes....love the big boy💪👌
Why don't you put the name of the watch in your description? It's become a nightmare trying to navigate your site just to find out about this watch.
Did you actually watch the video? The watch's name is very clearly at 1:50
Name of the watch is in the Tags. If you search for the name, the video will appear. Cheers!
Also, you could look at the transcript. That’s what I usually do. Cheers.
@@johnsrabe well call me picky, but I am pretty good with finding stuff and had a hard time finding it. I just thought it would be good to have it in the title.
@@silkytp789 Okay: You’re picky. But I wasn’t ragging on you. I also have problems finding it, and wind up using the transcript. Might be easier to see on the computer, but I’m always on my phone.
Have this one in khaki, and I like a bigger watch, but man, this one is really a bit too much, so I unfortunately do not wear it a lot.
I actually think this works Jody, you could pull it off. Arnie Tuna vibes.
This is legitimately more of a marine instrument... than anything Nordic Marine Instruments makes...
By far Casio is an amazing value brand! Something for everyone.
I could not find that blue one anywhere 😢
Ironic as on clicking on the video I was presented with a video advertising an IWC automatic perpetual calendar chronograph, which I suspect costs a tad more!
I picked up one of the black/black with white metal numerals in good nick for US$5 secondhand and I wear it to workout.
Tough to beat for a fiver . . .
It’s identical to my timex rugged.which came first.brietling have one almost identical
