My new Casima budget diver:
Don’t know how I missed this post until now!
I rotate between about 5 watches on a day to day basis, I just pick and choose depending on what I am doing that day.
First: Diesel DZ9041
Second: Fossil ME3019
Third: Seiko SND419
Fourth: Vestal ZR 2005
Fifth: Diesel DZ4165
I have a couple of others but they don’t get worn nearly as much.
Ezarc, nice collection, almost like mine :D!
I bought W800 as my first watch in years, so I was excited about it, didnt want to pay premium for G-Shock so I bought something thats bigger than regular budget watches and has 100m water resistance rating.
However, it started to reset its time once in a while either due to bad battery, bad circuitry or simply by getting jammed between my coat and backpack straps when taking on/off my backpack.
One day I was pissed at it being reset back to zero time again so I smashed it against concrete wall, needless to say that this watch only LOOKS tough while it ISNT tough, it disintegrated into lots of tiny pieces, I made a thread about it at WUS forums:
I wanted F91W for its price and legendary performance and simple features, bought one at the too good to be true price from Israeli seller and received fake one with disco LED lights built in.
Inbetween these two I bought DW5600 like yours and I love how it fits my wrist, perfect fit, perfect match, been good both in and outdoors and while rugged and bigger than regular watches, its still small enough not to get caught or entangled in various equipment that I get to work with.
I also bought DW9052 together with DW5600, its bigger, I had similar one some 15 years ago and lost it, so I wanted to have another one since it was really good, its my EDC watch. Its not the most comfortable around my wrist, but Ive got used to resetting the strap once in a while to get either tighter fit or looser fit, I also have to reposition it on my wrist to have the display looking where I want it to, not an issue with DW5600 since its almost always 100% perfectly aligned on my wrist.
But I do love both of them :D!
I call my DW9052 “The Shrek” due to its ear-like button guards :D!
And once you start to wear a wristwatch, you never go back to cell phone as your time-telling-machine, at least I dont and I wont :D!
Oh, I also bought cheapo analogue Casio watch for myself from Ebay, it cost me around 10$ shipped(bought lots of watches from same seller, Bondra, saved on shipping lots!), heres how it looks:
Its smaller in real life, not big, very discreet, never worn it tho :D!
Have Red Line watches come up in this thread yet? I bought a red-dial one to go with my Smart Electric, and liked it so much I also got a black and gold one. Less that a hundred bucks from Amazon or ebay, they gets lots of compliments.
I also have a couple of Luminox watches, which are nice but pricey. Not like a Rolex, but $400-$500 range. Nice stuff though, and bright enough trits in them that you can read by one at night once your eyes get adjusted.
Here is one of the Red Line watches, they come in all kinds of colors
@Glenn, I’m glad you like it
@Veer, Its a shame about the W800H playing up, I haven’t had any problems with mine at all.
I have the same problem but it’s my DW5600E that never seems to fit properly, I probably adjust it 3-4+ times as day. Just moving it 1 notch is the difference between too loose and too tight but I’m still wearing it daily and trying to get used to it. My W800H is a perfect fit though and feels a lot nicer to wear.
I also bought 2 fake F91W’s for about $2 each or something that the seller told me was genuine before buying and they ended up having disco lights as well, o gave both of then to my nephew. Then bought one from Aus for $14 and it was real.
My girlfriend (currently in Spain for work) bought a F91W only a few days ago for 2 Euro that was at some kind of stall, I told her it was fake and she was convinced it was real so I told her to hold down the bottom right button and tell me what it says on the display and nearly straight away she replied “CASIO”. I was surprised it was real for that price and told her she got a very good deal on it.
That 800 -series looks nice.
Does it have bigger LCD font size than in F91W?

Yeah the font size on it is a lot bigger, I don’t have the F91W here to take a pic though because I loaned it to my brother a few weeks ago.
I think my DW5600E has roughly about the same size font as the F91W for the main time digits, that’s the best I can show you at the moment.
My brothers watch (FT1000H-2AV) broke where the pins go in the bezel a few weeks ago, I’m looking for a cheap digital Casio watch (under $50) to buy for him for X-mas but haven’t decided on anything yet.
I don’t want to buy him one like mine so I’m open to suggestions if anyone has any.
lets see how many Casio's we can get on our wrists :) I've owned the G-Shock on the left since the 90's. I don't wear that one too often.
My sweetie bought me this one for my birthday a month or so ago. I love it!
Johnny, I love the textured face! Nice hands too! The numbers look raised. I like it!!
Just bought this one for my brother to wear as knock around at work, Ill give it to him for X-mas. I was interested in it myself but its too close to my W800H to have both.
My sweetie got me an Invicta model 2770 for Christmas! I absolutely love it. I showed it to her a long time ago and she remembered the exact model I wanted. It's the least gaudy of all the Invictas and I think it's the best looking model they make. ;)
I got a new Invicta for xmas too. not sure the model or what not, but its a gunmetal ceramic with some super tough crystal lens on it.
I like how the crown/pushers are on the opposite side…nice watch!
My new Fortis!
Also got an Invicta for Christmas. Amazon was really pushing the budget models, too. I like this one but every time I shop for watches, the cases are bigger. I think this one is 45mm.
It doesn’t look too out of place with the nicer watches.
I got this from Tmart. $8.63 shipped.
Soooo cool! Now I know where magnetic north is, and the temperature of my arm.
