By ForGeeks
Casio has officially launched its new WS1800 series of digital watches. The lineup includes three models: the WS-1800-1AV in black, the WS-1800-2AV in blue, and the WS-1800-3AV in green. Each version has a recommended price of $39.95.
The WS1800 series is positioned as a sporty digital watch with a distinctly retro design. It features a wide graphic display with two scales at the top and a large main screen that shows the time, date and day of the week. The front uses a spherical resin crystal, while the case and strap are made of lightweight polymer material. The watch weighs 41 grams and is designed to fit a wrist circumference of 145 to 215mm.
The watch is water resistant to 100 meters, making it suitable for swimming and outdoor activities. It is powered by a CR2025 battery, which the manufacturer claims has a lifespan of up to 10 years. For easy use in the dark, there is an amber LED backlight with an afterglow effect.
Functionally, the WS1800 features a dual stopwatch that tracks game time and total elapsed time simultaneously. The event timer is customizable from 1 to 60 minutes, with the stopwatch continuing to run even after the countdown is complete. The upper display captures time up to 59 minutes and 59 seconds, and the lower display — up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds.
The watch also features a preset countdown timer with fixed intervals of 10 to 45 minutes, auto repeat and elapsed time tracking. Additionally, you can set up to nine independently triggered interval timers in one-minute and five-second increments.
In addition, the model supports 29 time zones for 48 cities around the world, a daily alarm, an hourly alarm and a fully automatic calendar that extends to 2099. The accuracy is ±30 seconds per month. The user can choose between 12- or 24-hour time formats, as well as disable the beeping of the buttons if necessary.
