Casio Men's F201WA-9A Multi-Function Alarm Sports Watch

A very basic and light watch, but an excellent value. I wear this while running and the light weight makes me forget I have it on my wrist. I wanted a watch with a stopwatch function so that I could time my laps without bringing my cell phone or a bigger neck lanyard stopwatch. This works great for that. The light is a little weak, but I appreciate that it even has a light. It does light up fine in the dark, but I haven't used it in the dark. I love the countdown feature, which isn't normally a feature you find on watches in this price range.There are more expensive watches that track your heart rate, have GPS functions, track your workout... but they are much more expensive and heavy. For those who are looking for a watch that tells time, has a stopwatch, and is so light you forget you have it on - this watch is really hard to beat at the price. The countdown function is a bonus and great when keeping pace running laps.

This is the best watch ever! I know, who would geek out over a watch with so many alarms and whatnot when we have cellphones, right? Well the answer is me. I use every single function of this watch just about every day, I honestly don't know how I ever got by without it.Repeating countdown timer is great for clinicals where I can't have a cell phone to remind me to take my medication every 4 hours, also, 5 the different alarms and easy on/off is great for repeating reminders/alerts to put my books away and get to class.Easy switching from 12 to 24 hour time is great for sites that require 24 hr time when I still can't just figure it out in my head.The second clock/dual time is nice to set against the clock-in computer's time so I'm not late no matter what the real time is, and I don't have to change my entire perception of time elsewhere.I haven't figured out all the fancy alarm features since I haven't read the instructions fully, but even still it's served me so well!Also, it fits nicely. A little extra band than I would prefer for my average sized female wrist, but it's not crazy long (you can always cut it if it's a problem) or noticeable. I was hoping the face would be bigger and the band would be thicker to cover a tattoo, but it's actually a good size and now I think any bigger would get in the way of comfortable wear.The quality of this watch was better than expected, and the price is totally right for hospital wear. If it ever gets nasty beyond saving, it's not too expensive to replace.

I’m over big, bulky watches. I’ve got my Suunto and a couple G-Shock watches. I still wear them, still love them, but mostly I just want a watch that keeps nice, precise time, doesn’t stand out from my wrist 3/4 inch and hopefully looks juuuust a little dorky. I’m also cheap. Waterproofness is important to me. I work a desk job. I commute by bus or train- watches help with that. I like to go on a run a couple times a week and wear a watch. I don’t sleep or shower with my watch on unless I’m camping or in a hotel. I like digital over analog because I kind of like to know exactly what time I think it is and I only ever estimate when I’m reading an analog watch because I’m lazy. Also, when I’m in a meeting or I’ve been pinned-down by someone I don’t want to talk to and I want to know if this really is taking forever or if my perception of the passage of time is just being warped- it’s easier to sneak a peek at a digital watch and get a precise read. I realized a few months ago that I really am just as happy wearing a $15 Casio as I am with my $250 Suunto and that most days I don’t need to know the barometric pressure. Some days, yes. Most days, no. But I like having a variety of watches (including the Suunto, which is fabulous). And I like to choose which watch to wear each morning. That’s fun for me. Recently I got on Amazon and ordered a bunch of new cheap Casio watches. I got four new watches for $52. I think Timex’s are over-priced. That’s how cheap I am.Casio W-800HAV ($20-ish) Digital Black. My eight-year old son and I each got one of these watches for Christmas 2016. We both love it. We both have other watches but wear this one the most. It has a fairly low profile- doesn’t catch on pockets or shirt sleeves. I love the light- it looks stupid, like piddly. But it actually lights the face well. I go jogging at night sometimes. The light works well enough for me to see how slow I am even while I’m bouncing down the road. And it’s got “Dual Display”. I don’t know what else to call that. It shows the time on one part of the screen and at the same time it show the stopwatch numbers. Nice to keep track of both. Or, If I’m out and about, I’ll set a stopwatch when the train goes by because I know that the train comes by every 15 minutes. So I can see when I’m coming up on another 15-minute mark and also see the time on the sub-display.Casio F-201WA ($10.47) Digital Black. Comfortable. Lightweight. Easiest buttons to push. Good light. I like that it has countdown timer and lots of alarms. I miss being able to see the time when it’s in stopwatch mode like I can with the W-800HAV and the WV-200A.Casio WV-200A ($40-ish) Waceceptor Digital Black with chrome and red. Looks good. Like the steel case. Good protection for the glass. Relatively heavy. A liiiiitle too thick. Really nice buttons. Great electro-luminescent light. This one is the only watch of the group that you can set it so it doesn’t beep every time you push a button. I really like being able to turn the beep off. Sometimes I like to set a stopwatch in a meeting so I can see how long somebody is going on with some bullsh*t. Strangely, timing somebody’s bullsh*t is a nice distraction from the bullsh*t. But I don’t like my watch to beep when I’m doing pushing buttons. “Dual display”- you can still see what time it is when you’re in other modes. Countdown timer is nice and many of my other watches don’t have one. I don’t give it extra points for the whole Wave Ceptor thing. Doesn’t add any value for me and it kinda sucks battery. This watch has been on my wrist for a full day of snorkelling and handled it beautifully. I live in a land-locked state, so when I get to the ocean, I’m in the water ALL DAY LONG. I can’t dive deeper than maybe 20 feet, so it’s not a serious test for a watch that says it’s good to 200m. But if you’re diving to 200m and time is critical, you’re going to spring for something more than a $40 Casio. (I love you, Casio).Casio HDA-600 ($14.79) Black Analog. Not the most comfortable. Kinda squeezes my wrist from bone to bone or flops around a bit. I dunno, it just fits weird. YMMV. Love the face protector. Can’t wait until it starts to look a little banged up. Glowy dots on the hands aren’t really impressive. Date window works perfectly. Looks tough but it’s probably not. I like it a lot.Casio MQ24-7B2 ($14-something) White-faced Analog. Incredibly light. Truly forget that you’re wearing it. Easy to read. No date window. No lumi. Nice, simple and never catches your sleeve in a dress shirt. Yes, I’m fancy. Some people are smart enough to read an analog watch that doesn’t have numbers on it- just dots. I’m not one of those people. I screw it up enough when there’s numbers. This has numbers. I like numbers. Haven’t tested this one for waterproofyness. Casio only says it’s water resistant. I hardly ever do underwater demolitions anymore.Casio A168W-1 ($16.15) Stainless Digital. I love / hate this watch. I don’t know if Casio was really trying to make a watch that looks fancy but it’s really a dork-bomb, or if they we’re going for dork-bomb as their aim. Either way. This watch is a stunning success. I think this watch is the pinnacle of nerd-swank. 1980’s wannabe stockbroker, cool old guy who doesn’t give a sh*t, little bit of silver under the sleeve to catch someone’s eye- oh wait it’s a friggin Casio digital. I mean, it’s chrome-plated PLASTIC for crying out loud. How awesome is that? I love all of that. Love it. It’s got the Illuminator light, which works great. Clock, date, stopwatch and alarm. No countdown timer. The metal band is not comfortable. It’s got edges and it pulls on my arm fur. Clasp works great and it’s wicked-easy to adjust. Slips under a dress shirt easily. Again: super-dorky. Makes me smile every time I put it on. Then wince when it pulls the fur.Casio F91W-1 ($11.35) Black Digital. I like this watch a lot. It’s super thin. Very lightweight. The light looks stupid but it works well. The buttons are easy to hit. It ranks pretty high on the ‘Dork’ scale. People recognize it. Hold that one button down and it says CASIo. It’s great. Proud to say I’ve never worn this watch along with flannel and a beanie. Never.

Cheap. Takes a beating. Multiple alarms. Water resistant- I work in seafood/Meat retail and it holds up under extreme hot and cold water and air temperatures. I also use harsh cleaning chemicals - chlorine based mostly and some ammonia. Watch continues to function perfectly after a year of abuse. Easy to read face. A classic retro look too. I sometimes choose this one over my much more expensive watches to wear. Good looking piece. No complaints.

This is not going to win any awards for being pretty or fashionable.It does several jobs, and it does them well.It is a fantastic watch that IS going to last a long time. If you need something to work....WORK...then yes, you should buy this watch.The countdown feature alone is worth the price of admission. All digital watches should have this, but they do not. Buy this watch for the fact that it has five separate alarms and the countdown timer.A good and cheap buy.

Compré este reloj en oferta (me costó $200 pesos) y no podría estar más satisfecho. Es tan ligero que uno se olvida de traerlo. Tiene muchas más funciones de lo que yo hubiera esperado: timer de hasta 24 horas, cronómetro, cinco alarmas, tiempo dual. Tiene una batería de 10 años. Los dígitos son de buen tamaño y muy legibles.Es un reloj sencillo pero que cumple muy bien con todas sus funciones. Las multi-alarmas son realmente útiles.Dos cosas no me encantan: la luz es led en lugar de ser electro-luminiscente y la banda a veces se zafa.Tengo muchos relojes (me regalaron en Navidad un G-Shock Mudman solar) pero prácticamente todo el tiempo uso este por su comodidad, legibilidad y porque no estoy preocupado de si algo le puede pasar al reloj. Fue tan barato que realmente no me importa.El estilo no es uno de sus puntos fuertes: es un reloj utilitario, pero no es particularmente bonito.Casio es una marca de relojes digitales muy respetable y este tiene un precio incluso inferior a otros modelos genéricos. Es de muy buena calidad y la verdad es que estoy súper satisfecho. Me quiero comprar el de cuerpo y brazalete de metal para cuando se necesita algo un poquito más presentable.Realmente se ajustó a mis necesidades y me gustó mucho. Lo volvería a comprar sin dudarlo si le llegara a pasar algo.

Exactly what I was looking for and more.Four stars as it's a bit of a pain if you're looking to set an alarm to go off every day at the same time, as you need to input the date. Would be better if one of the five alarms did not need a date so you could set it and leave it alone.

Fantastic timepiece. This is my everyday watch, great array of functions, super easy to read. Accurate, being a Casio. The watch is light, some may find it flimsy, but I haven't had any problems at all, I wear it doing field work in the woods. Very nice indeed. If you want a good inexpensive watch that you can count on, you can't do much better than this.People do tell me that this is a kids' watch from time to time. I just laugh because they don't own this classic timepiece.

Si nos basamos en precio y confort, el competidor obvio de este reloj sería el famoso F91W, ambos son muy confiables, económicos, pequeños, y ligeros al punto de olvidar que los traemos puestos. Pero cuando hablamos de funciones, no hay punto de comparación, el F91W es absurdamente inferior, incluso la pantalla es mayor y la luz es mejor en este F201WA. Este pequeño F201WA viene cargado con funcionalidad, sin pedirle mucho a sus hermanos mas caros. Pocos son los modelos que ofrecen doble tiempo, cuenta regresiva y 5 alarmas con snooze, y en mi experiencia, aquellos que tienen estas funciones son mas pesados y significativamente mas caros.Dicen que el mejor remplazo para un F91W es el W217H, pero yo discrepo, este F201WA es mejor y mas barato.OJO: La descripción dice que es color gris, pero aunque no es tan obscuro como la versión 1A, este 9A es prácticamente negro.

Not the first time I bought this watch. I love it and it is affordable. I really like the fact that you can set multiple alarms on it (wake up, lunch time, pick up the kids, appointment...).Only down side is that the bands crack to finally break a bit too easy after a couple of years usage. Still I give it 5 stars!
