CASIO W-217H-5AVDF Beige Resin Digital Watch Men's 41mm

The Casio W-217H-5AVDF men's digital watch is a square-cased timepiece in beige resin with a matching beige resin band and a black dial, sized at 41 mm across. It suits men who want a light, low-maintenance watch for work, sport and casual days.

The Casio W-217H-5AVDF men's digital watch runs on a quartz movement and carries a water resistance rating of 50 meters, so splashes, rain and surface swimming are part of normal use. A black LCD keeps the digits clear in daylight, while the amber LED backlight lights the display in low light. The stopwatch, daily alarm and full auto calendar cover timing and date needs without a phone. Resin construction keeps the watch around 30 grams light and ready for knocks.

Key features and benefits of the Casio W-217H-5AVDF

• Square beige resin case: The 41 mm case is moulded in beige resin, a polymer that keeps the watch lighter than a steel case. That lower weight helps it sit comfortably through a full day and handle minor knocks.
• Beige resin band: The strap uses the same beige resin and closes with a classic buckle. Resin resists sweat and water, so the band stays supple during daily wear and activity.
• Black digital dial: The black LCD screen shows white digits with strong contrast. You can read the time quickly in daylight without tilting the watch.
• Quartz movement: A battery-powered quartz oscillator keeps time to within a few seconds per month. There is no winding or mechanical wear to manage.
• 50 meters water resistance: Seals protect the module against water pressure up to 5 bar. You can wear the watch for hand washing, rain and surface swimming.
• Stopwatch: The chronograph measures elapsed time to 1/100th of a second for the first hour. It is useful for laps, intervals or cooking timings.
• Daily alarm: One programmable alarm sounds at the same time each day. It can act as a wake-up call or a reminder for an appointment.
• Full auto calendar: The calendar adjusts for month lengths and leap years up to 2099. You do not need to reset the date by hand.
• LED backlight: A dedicated light button turns on an amber LED that lights the display. The watch stays readable in dark rooms or at night.
• Multi-function display: The screen cycles through time, date, stopwatch and alarm modes using the side buttons. Key readings stay reachable without digging into menus.
• Lightweight construction: The resin case and band weigh roughly 30 grams together. The watch barely registers on the wrist during sport or long shifts.
• Men's sizing: The 41 mm case width and standard lug spacing suit medium to larger male wrists. The band adjusts through several holes for a secure fit.

Who the digital watch is for

The Casio W-217H-5AVDF suits men who want one watch for work, training and casual days. Its beige tone sits well with khaki, denim and uniform colours, and the digital functions handle timing without a phone. The resin body and 50 meters water resistance mean sweat, rain and pool sessions do not call for a change of watch.

• Office workers who need a quiet alarm and calendar for meetings.
• Gym-goers timing rest intervals or circuit rounds with the stopwatch.
• Hikers and campers who want a light, water-resistant watch for outdoor days.
• Students tracking class schedules and study sessions.
• Anyone who prefers a watch that handles knocks and scratches without fuss.

Less suitable if: you need a dress watch with a metal bracelet or leather strap for formal events, or you want advanced sensors such as heart-rate monitoring or GPS.

Using and caring for the Casio W-217H-5AVDF

Rinse the Casio W-217H-5AVDF with fresh water after saltwater or chlorine exposure, then dry it with a soft cloth. Clean the resin case and band with mild soap and water, and avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners that can dull the finish. Use the light button only when needed to help battery life, and keep the watch away from extreme heat or strong magnetic fields.

• Rinse under tap water after swimming or heavy sweating.
• Wipe dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Have the battery replaced at a watch service centre so the case can be resealed.
• Check the band pins from time to time because resin can stretch slightly.
• Avoid pressing buttons while the watch is submerged.

How to choose the right digital watch

Case size, material, water resistance and functions are the four factors that decide how a digital watch fits daily life. The Casio W-217H-5AVDF uses a 41 mm square case, a mid-size width that suits most men without crowding the wrist. Its resin case and band keep the watch near 30 grams and add impact resistance, while the 50 meters rating covers swimming and showering. The function set includes a stopwatch, daily alarm, full auto calendar and LED backlight, so it handles timing and low-light reading without extra sensors.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Casio W-217H-5AVDF made of?

The case and band are made of beige resin, a durable polymer used for light watch bodies. The dial window is mineral glass, which protects the black LCD from scratches.

How wide is the watch case?

The square case measures 41 mm across. That mid-size width is aimed at men, and the resin band adjusts through several holes for a secure fit.

Can I swim with the Casio W-217H-5AVDF?

Yes, the 50 meters water resistance rating allows surface swimming and showering. Avoid pressing the buttons underwater, and rinse the watch after pool or sea water.

Which functions does the watch include?

The Casio W-217H-5AVDF includes a 1/100-second stopwatch, a daily alarm, a full auto calendar up to 2099, an amber LED backlight and a multi-function display. The display cycles through time, date, stopwatch and alarm modes.

How long does the battery last?

The quartz movement runs on a CR2016 cell, typically for 2-3 years. A watch technician should replace it so the case is resealed and water resistance is preserved.
