Known online and in youtube videos as the "$20USD Casio beater". Good gift for a young person or as a cheap beater watch.
I am not an expert on analog watches but in my opinion it's a good designed watch face which is easy to read. The hour/minute hands stand out and the numbers are large and easy to read quickly. The watch is entirely made out of resin even the lens.
Warning: This watch does not have Lume or a Backlight so is not readable without a light source. It is not a G-shock so won't be as tough as one but it has 100m water resistance. Battery life is 3 years on SR626SW.

Battery is easy to change according to this article: https://www.richardperrett.com/watch-reviews/best-value-watc…
Just be aware you might affect the water resistance if you change the battery yourself. The only way to 100% be sure it will survive 100m would be to pay and have it pressure tested.
If you just need it to survive washing your hands you won't need to bother with pressure testing.

From a quick search I found watchnerd posted this exact link in "Insufficient quantity deals" with the same price back in August 2022.

Seems like no "X left in stock" this time and they fixed the image to the correct picture of the watch since then.

    Thanks OP. Got one - good design and looks for the price.

    • No problem. Hopefully you read the bold text in the deal just to make sure you understand.
      This watch is not easily readable in the dark due to no Lume and no backlight.

      • Thats absolutely fine - I wasn't expecting it to be although there is a review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfWD2GVURLE which says you can still see the hands which is a plus.

        • Yeah pretty sure if there is some weak light source you could tilt your wrist to catch the light.
          If it's dark enough you will already have night vision activated (enlarged pupils) so I think you will manage to just about see the time by catching light, but just not as quickly/easily like with lume or backlight.

  • 3 year battery life seems kinda weird when they're digital watches have (up to) 10 year battery life. I would have expected their analogue watches to have at least 5 years.

    • Yeah I agree I would like to see longer battery life. But the SR626SW battery used in the MRW-200H is tiny.

    • My MRW200 lasts about 2 years on a Sony battery.

      Rolex Cosmograph Daytona
      casio dw5600
      Citizen NH8350-83E
      Timex weekender
      Seiko 5

      • You're missing the Casio GMW-15.

        • Before this gets anymore out of control , it wasn’t an exhaustive list and was more a meme (watches considered budget, then threw in a Rolex)

        "casio f91w"

        This was my first Casio and I think my first ever watch I bought for myself.

        • takes deep breath -

        It was on sale for $19 at General Pants and I just so happened to find a $10 off coupon (this was before knowing about ozbargain so I think I found it organically in a newspaper or something). I walked into the store and asked for the watch, as the girl working there took it out of the display she said "great price on this one" (I think she knew how much higher it was priced normally, typical for GP). Then I whipped out the $10 off coupon. I don't think it'll work but I'll try she said. And her eyes lit up when the coupon scanned and the discount was subtracted.

        I wore it for 4 years or so I think. It's rated battery life is 7 years and I remember it was still running when I took it out of the drawer to check on it. By this time I had another watch and found the display on the F-91W a bit too small. I took it to Vinnies so hopefully someone else grabbed it while it was still running and got some value out of it.

  • Its $38.99 to me.

    • Me too, price OzBargained

    • Yeah and it's sold by third party seller. No more Amazon AU stock.

    Great thread on Watchuseek if you're looking to spend around $30 on a beater watch -

    20 dollars or less, let's see them!

      Some good options if you do some sifting. I remember perusing this thread years ago, probably one of the most active threads on the forum. Do note some finds are used.
