 Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of AmitDan.com Today I will have another episode of watch review video and I'll talk about Casio FW217 which we have it right here So this is just a variation of Casio F91W which I have it right here and I'm just going to open up and compare how it looks comparing to the F91W and we are going to go over some of the specs too So this is Casio F217 and if you are looking to know the full name of the model which we have it right here So W217HM7BVCF So there may be slightly little variation of model numbers on the market but I believe basically they are the main thing So the packaging is just a basic Casio packaging it's very cheap because the watch is not expensive so the packaging is the same and let's take a look here So on the other side of packaging there is nothing much it's just plain simple with only Casio on it and I'm going to just open it up So I remember that Casio F91W had very similar packaging and this is the basic packaging for all Casio inexpensive watches but if the watch is a little expensive they change the packaging So this is what we have and it looks like they have included a small warranty card So I'll just leave it here and let's put this here and then they have a stack inside a brochure which is right here but I'm not going to go through it so let's just remove the watch from the case So here we have the watch let me just put it here and I'll just go over some of the specs very quickly So this is only 50 meter water resistant this is not 100 meter and this one actually has 7 year battery life if you have watched some of my other Casio reviews some of them actually have 10 year battery life but this one looks like only 7 year battery life which is still not bad either and basically that's all the specs I can think of Now let's remove the protective cover or layer which we have it right here So I'm just going to remove this and I'll just untie the band So here we have the Casio W217 So the first thing I'm noticing comparing to Casio F91W is that this is much bigger So if you just look at them side by side you can see that this is much bigger So if you thought this is a small watch and definitely this is the watch you should go and if I put on top of each other you can see that that's bigger Actually I believe it looks a little bit better too because of the stainless steel like plating although I believe this is just plastic this cannot be maybe this is not metal at least the top but the back is metal but this plating makes the watch look more expensive and a bit nicer The problem with this watch what I'm looking at is that it's kind of hard to read although it looks very good but if you're trying to read it let me just see right now probably you can see a bit better So this is now 154 to 224 that's what we have here but it's not kind of easy to read So that's one of the drawbacks you have to deal with this watch but in terms of looks and everything definitely it looks more expensive and it looks cooler than the Casio F91W watch Comparing to other Casio watches this one looks unique because of its reverse black display and it has backlight so if I just press it then you can see that you can read it more when you press the button but definitely it's going to drain the battery then definitely you can use that So in terms of all the buttons and everything it looks like just like any other Casio watch we have the start stop button here we have the mode button right here and the light button right here and it says 50 meter water resistant and if you take a look at Casio F91W this one it just says water resist but I don't see it's mentioning anything So it looks like the buttons and everything they're the same or very similar and definitely this looks much better So in order to read the time you have to just look at it from different angles some angles may reduce the readability of the time so you have to just kind of move your wrist a little bit here and there to get the perfect angle or to get the right reflected on the face to get the time which is not a big deal for me but I don't mind wearing it because it looks really cool and this is just a little bit more expensive than Casio F91W but it's not a lot more expensive This is another affiliated or paid review there are no links, no nothing so the reviews you're going to get are totally honest and unbiased So that's the Casio W217 which is kind of a big brother of Casio F91W but this one has more minimalistic looks and it kind of looks a bit better than the basic Casio So definitely I don't mind wearing this and in terms of how long it's going to last definitely it's going to last just like other Casio and the battery life is 7 years which is more than good enough
