Casio Sports W-218HM-5BV | Retro-Inspired Square Digital Watch with Metallic Finish, Amber LED Backlight, and 7-Year Battery Life (43.2 mm, 50 m)

Product Description

The Casio Sports W-218HM-5BV reinterprets the iconic square digital design of the 1980s with a contemporary, understated touch. Part of the W-218HM series, this model elevates Casio’s classic sporty silhouette with a bezel featuring a warm-toned satin metallic finish, which subtly contrasts with the matte resin of its case and its earth-tone/olive-brown strap (colorway 5BV), achieving a versatile aesthetic that strikes a balance between an everyday tactical tool and a retro-inspired urban watch.

Its design stands out for an extremely ergonomic profile measuring 43.2 mm wide and just 11 mm thick, combined with a featherlight weight of barely 37 grams, ensuring prolonged wear without fatigue or discomfort on the wrist. Inside its resin case, built to withstand everyday impacts, it houses a highly energy-efficient module capable of providing up to 7 years of uninterrupted battery life on a single battery, complemented by quick-start amber LED illumination, a split-time stopwatch, and reliable water resistance to 50 meters (5 bar).

Key Features

• Retro Square Design with Metallic Bezel: A geometric silhouette inspired by the origins of Japanese digital watchmaking, enhanced by a front frame with a metallic finish that adds depth and visual elegance to the resin.
• Ultra-Long Battery Life (7 Years): Continuous operation without power concerns for approximately 7 years on a single standard CR2016 lithium battery.
• Ultra-Lightweight, Slim-Profile Design (37 g / 11 mm): A slim profile and lightweight synthetic resin construction provide absolute comfort for everyday wear, fitting neatly under shirt cuffs or athletic wear.
• Amber-Toned LED Backlight: Digital display with uniform, high-contrast LED lighting for instantly checking the time, date, or stopwatch in total darkness.
• Water Resistance to 50 Meters (5 ATM / 5 Bar): Certified resistance to regular contact with water; suitable for showers, heavy rain, splashes, and recreational swimming in calm waters.
• Flexible and Durable Resin Strap: Water-repellent, easy-to-clean material resistant to sweat, moisture, and everyday wear and tear, featuring a wide range of adjustment via a classic buckle.
