WS1600H Series | Men’s Watch | Sports Design | Stopwatch | Countdown Timer | LED Light with Afterglow | 100M WR | Daily Alarm | Auto Calendar | World Time | 10 Year Battery

I saw a review on YouTube where they were selling these stainless steel case/bracelet kits for this watch for like $100. I just bought a Casio AE1200WH and a $9 watch repair tool kit and swapped out the …action? The… timepiece? Whatever it’s called. THE GUTS. Totally interchangeable! Anyway, it’s now officially super duper. CHRONOGRAPH - is weird… it’s a stop-watch that doesn’t really stop, lol. A non-stop watch. The chronograph has a “target” setting, so you get a series of beeps when you get to that minute marker, I guess to notify you of your upcoming goal. I love it. Totally weird. TIMERS - Very quirky functionality, but very cool, if you want/need up to 9 interval timers. When one of the preset timers hit 00:00 it starts counting forward to tell you how far past the mark you ended up. Delightful! INTERVAL TIMERS - I use this to wake up and get in the shower (01:00) then I give myself 03:00 to take a shower, 03:00 to get dressed, and 03:00 to get downstairs, with coffee brewed and sitting at my desk. Bam, best ten minutes of my day! Then I do 20:00 Pomodoro sets of reading/journaling. Super handy for studying, task management, working out, etc. Nerd out and get this one if you are likewise inclined!

It think this is my sixth Casio I've purchased over the past couple of years. Over this period, I've had zero issues with any of these watches. I decided to buy this particular model up on a whim, whilst browsing Amazon. I saw some online reviews about particular model, and everyone said the same thing - the WS1600H-1AV is a very good watch. Anyway, there really isn't too much to say. You're not going to beat Casio for its price and this new model is a take on the cult classic 'Casio Royale'. This has two countdown timers - one for every second and the second for every 10 second period. Once the 10 second timer hits six bars (sixty seconds), it resets back to zero. It's a neat, different twist. As with the 'Casio Royale', it has the usual features such as world times with cities, timers, alarms and background light. All work well and are set easily. If you want a solid, durable digital watch that will not break the bank, then it's going to hard to beat this Casio.

Works really good, I bought a different brand and it was more expensive with lower quality. Casio is definitely the best.

I bought this watch to use its 25 min timer for doing pomodoro, and it works well for that. the watch face is cool to look at because of the design layout and the black blinking timers. the buttons work great. the time is easy to read. the backlight is pretty mid though, but it works. My main complaint is the underside of the watch strap is ribbed all along it with these little notches, you can feel digging into your skin-- I take the watch off as often as I can just to not feel it on me, its annoying, They should've made it plain and smooth. I assume they did it so that I would have extra grip on the outside of someone's shirt sleeve. I also wish there was a model with a smaller diameter because I have a relatively narrow wrist (6.5in), and it can appear some what large on my size wrist. other than that, the watch looks cool reminds me of power rangers because it looks high tech-ish.

For the 30 bucks it cost, my son loved it. After adjusting the time on it, it worked like a charm. Will consider buying a similar model in the future.

I bought the Casio WS-1600H Series from Amazon US for $28.92, but after adding around 40% import duty + extra taxes, the final cost became quite high for me. The main problem is the same as my earlier imported Casio watches — great watch, poor value after import 😓. This model is also not officially available in India, so importing is the only option. Coming to the watch itself — this is pure Casio DNA 💪⌚. The square sporty design looks rugged and functional, inspired by classic Casio tool watches. The digital display is large and very readable, and the LED Illuminator with afterglow 💡 works well even in complete darkness. The countdown timer, stopwatch, world time 🌍, and daily alarm ⏰ make it a perfect daily sports and utility watch. The 100M water resistance 💦 means you can easily use it for swimming and rough daily use. And the 10-year battery 🔋 is a big plus — true set-and-forget watch. However, once import costs are added, the watch loses its unbeatable value factor. At the US price, it’s an absolute steal, but imported into India, it feels overpriced. 🔧 Technical Details ⌚ Model: Casio WS-1600H ⚙️ Movement: Quartz (Digital) 💦 Water Resistance: 100 meters 💡 Light: LED Illuminator with Afterglow ⏱️ Functions: Stopwatch ⏱️ Countdown Timer ⏳ World Time 🌍 Daily Alarm ⏰ Auto Calendar 📅 🧱 Case & Strap: Resin 🔋 Battery Life: Approx. 10 Years 📐 Display: Large, high-contrast digital display ✅ Pros Legendary Casio durability & reliability 💪 10-year battery life is excellent 🔋 Very clear and readable display 👀 Useful countdown timer & world time 100M water resistance – swim safe 💦 Lightweight and comfortable for daily wear ❌ Cons Too expensive after import duty & taxes 😖 Not officially available in India 🇮🇳 Design is very utilitarian, not premium Resin strap feels basic (expected at this price) ⭐ Final Verdict A fantastic budget digital sports watch with everything you expect from Casio — toughness, reliability, and long battery life. Amazing value at $28.92, but import costs push it down to 4 stars.

This isn’t my first Casio and won’t be my last. I genuinely really like this watch and the other Casio models that are similar. The quality is better than expected, especially for the price! Brightness of the back light is just right. I have smaller wrists and the size is great for me. I ended up buying a Velcro band and have enjoyed it more. Very durable and you can’t beat the price, great job Casio!

Well made, plenty of third-party bands and mods available; the 1600 uses the same case as the 1200 and 1300 and same program as the 1300. Switching modes is intuitive, but settings is not. Quirks that may be a turnoff to some on this watch is the timer isn't standard in that it can't be stopped, only reset, one hour max, and no split times, it's just weird. Also, the light has a fairly short duration (~1.5 sec), presumably to achieve the rated 10 year battery life. I'm happy overall and would buy again.
