Casio W-737H - The newest beater, budget watch for barely $20!

#Casio #W737H #Beater
I'm constantly amazed at how Casio cranks out watch after watch at extremely inexpensive price points. They have so many watches you can get that are under $20 and they still provide an insane amount of value. This month's newest watch is no exception.
The Casio W-737H could be considered yet another G-Shock alternative. Though, if you're into G-Shocks just pony up another $50 and get one. But nonetheless, this is still a pretty decent watch. It comes in with 100 meters of water resistance, a 10 year battery life, dual time, a timer and a stopwatch with up to 24 hours, and also a nifty auto-start and target time feature.
Also, that front light button is pretty cool. If you're looking for a new beater watch, or just want something inexpensive that you can hold onto for years, give the W-727H a look.

It's absolutely wrong to term these watches as 'BUDGET' watches. They are watches, plain and simple. Just a few decades back they were the cutting edge tech you had to have on your wrist. Something doesn't suddenly become a cheaper version of something just because it's inexpensive. These are proper watches that serve the purpose for which they are made to the fullest. It's only our terrible way of equating price with the legitimacy of a product as a tool that causes these watches to be named incorrectly and termed as otherwise alternatives. These are NOT budget alternatives to something superior, they are proper functional watches which are priced correctly without their value being inflated because of demand, pop-culture obsessions and marketing. Terms such as 'budget', 'beater', 'alternative' and 'cheap' completely discount the amazing technology that these watches represent.

@chiefkc1306 2 жыл бұрын

I could not agree more. Most people who buy these watches can afford to buy even more expensive watches, but there is no point buying a more expensive watch when a cheaper one provides the same benefits. Most people just buy expensive watches to impress others. A true waste of money.

This is a really nice watch. I like something lightweight, easy to read, durable and one that has a Timer/Stopwatch (so I can time my breaks, and lunch at my job). This one checks all the boxes and it's stylish too. I don't think it's $20.00 anymore, Amazon has it for $25.00 now, not complaining at all as it's still a great watch for a great price. These watches are so light, when you get the box at your house, you will think it's empty. Thank you for your review as well, great job.

Absolutely love the format, no music just simple, quick but incredibly engaging review and content. The watch is great I'll buy it as a gift for my cousin on his birthday. He'll love it. The dial is not very crowded it's very readable when riding a motorcycle or a bicycle, it's needed in some of those situations, casio royale serves good but obviously it's not as tough. Love that metal one in the background though. Btw did you check out the new line up of dw5600? I bought one myself, the dw5610SU 8dr, it's awesome! I think they launched it this month Oh well you already covered that, it just launched in my region i got it for 50 usd

Hope 737H appears soon on the local market here to see if it's price-wise too :) Congrats for the nice video, as usual.

Just bought this watch (Black) on sale in Australia. Paid $50 AUS. Might seem a lot compared to $US, but it's very reasonable for this country. Just wanted a decent watch with basic features for work. Tired of having to use my phone to know the time. This Casio is water resistant, has a light, timer and an alarm. Plus day/date. At a third the cost of the cheapest G - Shock in the store a real bargain. Plus I like the retro look!

So got this since I want to try a cheaper version for now. Even this one is too big for my hand but I am keeping it. I know this is old but thank you for the video!

I just received one of those directly from the Casio online store in Brazil. I went for this model because it was the least expensive one that was both water resistant and had a timer - which was the reason I needed a watch in the first place. Wanted something small, uncluttered and with big-sized digits on the display. I only wished the currency exchange was favorable...

It would be wonderful if, on models like this one with wider lug width, you could put it on a Nato strap just to see how it would look.. It looks very interesting indeed and the display looks so much better then the one on the dw5600.. Thanks for the review,!

Mini GX56 definitely. To be honest I don't hate Casio making G-shock lookalike watches like this. There have been many blatant G-shock rip-offs like Skmei and S-Shock which are built like crap, so it makes sense for Casio to take the matter into their own hands. It could also give people a chance to test the waters at affordable price before they pull the trigger on real deal G-shocks, without resorting to knockoffs of course. Plus, Casio built quality will always be better. With that said, they're more than adequate for the ones who want cheap, accurate and reliable beater watches for everyday use.

2:24 - You mentioned that the watch has a lug width of 18 mm, which can open the door to using third-party straps with the watch. Just to check, though, since this watch has inset lugs-not unlike most Casio watches-would you happen to have any tips for finding third-party straps that would look good with this? (My concern is that if you were to attach a standard 18 mm strap, it might look too skinny on the watch since straps don’t tend to account for being attached to a watch with inset lugs?)

@OwynDavies 3 жыл бұрын

It'll definitely look awesome with a standard 18mm and a customised one would cost at least twice the price of the actual watch.

This is true. Same issue with the AE-1200 and AE-1300. But at least the strap are removable. You could always use a knife to cut a leather strap right at the lugs, like many people have done with the AE lineup.
