Casio Sports W-217H-5AV | Digital Watch with Large, Highly Legible Digits, Amber LED Backlight, and 7-Year Battery Life (41.2 mm, 50 m)

Professional Description

The Casio Sports W-217H-5AV represents the contemporary evolution of the Japanese brand’s most legendary retro digital design, adapted to today’s demands for visibility and ergonomics. Known by many as the modernized, oversized reinterpretation of the classic F-91W series, this model stands out primarily for its LCD screen with large digits (Easy-to-Read Display), which allows you to check the hour, minutes, and date at a single glance without straining your eyes, even during dynamic activities or while on the move.

Its 41.2-mm-wide rectangular case maintains an extremely slim design with an ultra-thin profile of just 10.5 mm in thickness and a nearly imperceptible featherweight of 32 grams, ensuring absolute comfort throughout the day. This finish (colorway 5AV) adds a touch of distinction with an inner bezel featuring subtle earth-tone and gold accents that frame the digital display. Equipped with a low-power module that delivers approximately 7 years of battery life on a single battery, amber LED backlighting, and improved water resistance of 50 meters (5 bar), it stands out as one of the most practical, reliable, and functional everyday watches on the market.

Key Features

• LCD Display with Maximized Digits: A digital dial designed to offer instant, effortless readability, featuring significantly larger and higher-contrast hour digits than those found on traditional compact models.
• Ultra-Slim Profile and Featherweight (10.5 mm / 32 g): A slim profile that conforms anatomically to the wrist, allowing the watch to slide smoothly under any sleeve without snagging.

• Water Resistance to 50 Meters (5 ATM / 5 Bar): Superior water resistance compared to basic 30-meter models, perfectly suited for hand washing, heavy rain, showering, and shallow swimming.
• Amber-Toned LED Backlight: Built-in LED illuminates the digital display with a uniform, warm light for clear readability in complete darkness.
• Flexible Resin Construction: Case and strap made of synthetic resin with high mechanical strength, completely resistant to corrosion from sweat, moisture, or external agents.
