Casio W-800H-1AVCF

Product Information

At the bottom, we have the year in all four digits with the date and month in a number format. W-800H Movement The inverse is equally as ridiculous: set a countdown timer for a time guaranteed to be longer than the unknown duration you’re trying to measure. When the event would normally stop your count-up, you instead look at the countdown – subtracting the current value from your original, and boom: you’ve turned a countdown timer into a stopwatch. Casio was founded after the end of World War II in 1946. Tadao Kashio started by producing mechanical parts by himself until his brothers joined him. The small family operation started off by making calculators for the domestic market. At the bottom of the screen is the text denoting the 100m water resistance of the rugged watch. At the top is the branding Casio in all capped text and the advertisement of the 10-year battery life in red text. The W-800H’s case starts with a restrained 36.8mm case diameter, with lugs extending to 44.2mm. The watch offers no overhang, even on my 6-inch wrist.

Pressing the “Mode” button once, we advance to the alarm function of the movement. Setting the alarm is easy. Holding down the “Adjust” button starts the “setting mode” for all functions, including the alarm function. The point I’m trying to make here, is you’re polling a system intended to measure time with an previously unknown duration to determine if you’ve reached a known, fixed duration. That’s the job of an event-based (interrupt) system.You can even change the minutes of the dual time to differ from your home time if you want to (though I honestly don’t know why you would).” If you require any further information relating to the Delivery service used, please call us at +44 (0)20 8208 9567. The second function is a stopwatch that’s accurate to the 1/100th of a second. Pressing the “Mode” button moves us to the stopwatch. Starting and stopping the stopwatch is easy with just the press of a button. Powering the watch is a Japanese quartz movement. This is a reliable movement that offers a good level of accuracy for the price. The accuracy of this movement is approximately +/- 30 seconds per month. The watch also features newly developed electronics which ensure a significantly lower energy consumption meaning that 1 battery can give the watch up to 10 years on life, very impressive stuff.

Perfect for swimming and snorkelling: the watch is water resistant to 10 bar according to ISO 22810. This sports model from Casio features a selection of handy extras. These include a LED light to illuminate the watch face. Second time zone display which can be set for a time zone of your choice. A stop watch function with 1/100 seconds up to 24 hour measurement. That said, it does look slightly bigger than the 36mm would entail, probably due to the larger surface area from being a square watch. Complete the short form that accompanies your product. Please ensure that you complete all of the sections, as this will guarantee the timely processing of your return/exchange. Looking closer at the W-800H, we get a glimpse of what makes a Casio a Casio. Strewn along the screen’s periphery are printed set texts showcasing the various functions of the watch: Adjust, Mode, Light, and 12/24H.

Casio W-800H-1AVES Watch Review Summary

Automatic calendar which will always display the correct date, on traditional watches you have to manually adjust the date to account for the varying amount of days in each month. Technical amendments and errors excepted. The sizes in figures do not correspond to the original sizes. The 3240 movements are powered by a simple CR2025 battery. With the case being held down by four screws, changing the battery would be fairly simple. Of course, you probably won’t have to worry about that for the first ten years or so.

Casio W-800H-1AVES Watch Specifications Protecting the dial of this timepiece is an acrylic plastic window lens. This is a very basic type of lens that has its own benefits and disadvantages. The main disadvantage is how easily the screen can scratch, on the plus side though most scratches can easily be buffed out with the right technique. It’s a lens that’s often found on either cheaper or more traditionally built watches.There are several places around the world where time zones are differentiated by half hours rather than full hours (and a couple are even offset by 45 minutes!). Newfoundland here in Canada is 30 minutes ahead of Atlantic Time (1.5 hours ahead of Eastern Time). In Australia, the three main time zones are separated by 1.5 and 0.5 hours rather than by a single hour between each pair of time zones. (It fits their geography better.) If you dig deeply enough, there is even a small corner of Australia that is 45 minutes ahead of one neighbour and 45 minutes behind the other neighbour! See: The resin housing is the ideal everyday companion. It is durable, lightweight and relatively insensitive to cold, heat or other external influences. Elapsed time, split time and final time are measured with 1/100-sec accuracy. The watch can measure times of up to 24 hours.
