Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The W-800H-1AVES sits in a long line of Casio utility pieces that prioritise function over ornament — the octagonal resin case and plain black display are a deliberate nod to the digital sports watches Casio built its reputation on in the 1980s. The practical case here is the ten-year battery life, which means a CR2025 coin cell that installs once and is largely forgotten. On the wrist it wears lighter than most people expect at 37 grams, and the four alarms — with snooze and an optional hourly chime — along with dual time and a 1/100-second stopwatch make it genuinely useful rather than merely retro in appearance. Rated to 100 metres, it handles swimming without any particular care.

Learn more about Casio
Tadao Kashio founded Kashio Seisakujo in Tokyo in 1946 as a machine shop. The company's first success was a finger ring that held a cigarette, and its second was the 14-A of 1957 — the world's first all-electric compact calculator, which used solenoids rather than gears.
Casio entered watchmaking in 1974 with the Casiotron, a digital watch with an automatic calendar that knew the varying lengths of months. The company approached watches as an electronics manufacturer rather than a horological one, and that difference produced the G-Shock.
The G-Shock came from a single engineer, Kikuo Ibe, who broke a watch his father had given him and set out to build one that could not break. The specification was three tens: survive a ten-metre drop, ten bars of water pressure, and ten years of battery life. It took over two hundred prototypes, and the solution was suspending the module inside the case on a cushioned internal structure rather than mounting it rigidly. The DW-5000C shipped in 1983.
It became one of the most durable product designs in any category, adopted by militaries, emergency services, and skateboarders alike, and Casio has since added solar charging, radio and GPS timekeeping, Bluetooth, and full-metal and carbon variants.
Casio also produces the Edifice, Pro Trek, and Oceanus lines, and remains an independent Japanese public company.
