Incredible price! Congrats on that awesome find. Yes, it will serve you well!!

Great review I've hand my eye on this model for a while just because it is a great example of what Casio does better than anyone else, durable, useable, low cost watch. All low price analog watches suffer from short duration lume and it is a weakness of Casio analog watches including the great MDV-106 Duro. For the same MRW200H price point in digital AE-1600 is a great option.. good day time visibility, good backlight, and they do a black out version if you want to avoid shine. Perfect for someone who wants a dependable watch at a throw away price. If you want to pay more you can go G-shock or the MDV-102 which has the toughness of the MDV-106 but with a powerful backlight. Glad someone is covering practical watches at reasonable prices

I wear this watch as a beater, work, everyday watch. Definitely one of my favorites, and most on wrist time as my collecting of watches just started 4 months ago. Big fan of Casio and The Citizen Group (Eco-Drive, Bulova, Miyota, Alpina) speaking of which this one has one of Miyota's classic tried and true 2035 movements. It's an awesome watch that looks like a Luminox for $22, and will last through an apocalypse provided you have a spare battery, strap, and some buffing compound or Polywatch. If you don't have one yet you should.

Thank you for watching. I was looking up the module for this watch on Casio's website and for kicks looked up the operating manual...one page. Now that is simplicity and as you pointed, out, apocalypse proof! The module for this watch is a Casio 5125.

Definitely on my radar. When they step it up and make it with solar, sapphire, multiband 6, etc I definitely will get one.

You have some great choices. When I travel (this is on my list of episodes...how to choose which watches to bring), I think of safety/security first. Having watches stolen is not how we want to distribute our collection. I would venture into one or two watches per day. One for activities and one for relaxation/dinning with friends...both could be similar watch types like two divers for one day. For snorkeling, would definitely have one watch per day...where else would be a better opportunity to experience/test how your dive watches perform? I like the travel watch with auto-adjust time feature. A lockable backpack for airplane travel (carryon) would certainly carry your travel watches and the others could be checked within their own lockable case. I recommend being intentional about wearing visibly cheap watches in large public gathering spaces such as marketplaces, tourist trap type gatherings, etc. I would also carry a second watch on my person in a secure, separately attached to your body inner-garment travel pouch. This pouch serves as a great way to carry $, passport, keys, ID, etc as well. After determining that list, cut it back by 1/3 and you've then honored your wife's concern. You have a great dilemma, enjoy the time with your wife, the trip, and of course the watches! Best wishes.

Yes, for this watch and any day and date display watch, you can reset just the date and the day of the week remains unchanged and correct.

I bought this watch and my initial thoughts were the same. However, what I have found is that although the initial lume fades it still retains a level of lume which is visible hours later. It’s often a case of eye adjustment to the dark. If I hold mine under a lamp for 20 seconds before going to bed, I can still make out the time 8 hours later in the early hours of the morning.
