With many of the basic features and a fairly unique camouflage face, as far as cheap digital Casio's go, the W-217H is one of those watches that will appeal to Casio collectors, and your average watch wearer also. With this watch you get something a slight bit different. This watch ticks many boxes in the cool and practical department. It has a brightly lit illuminator light which glows yellow / light orange, 12 / 24hr Time choice, date display, stopwatch, alarm, and is water resistant for up to 50 meters. Do note that this model does not have a countdown timer.
The original stock strap is of course resin. But like all Casio's, it can be changed to an after market strap quite easily. Looks great with a nato / cord style wrist strap. The watch overall is quite wide, but also fairly slim. However if you like a smaller watch like I do, there are other Casio's like the W86 and F105 to
consider. All in all, the Casio W-217H is a cool looking watch that is easy to live with, and surprisingly cheap to buy.
