Casio officially releases its Green Face watch collection featuring three affordable models with distinctive green designs, practical features, and varying functionality from digital to analog-digital hybrids.
Casio has officially launched its Green Face watch series in the UK market, bringing distinctive emerald-colored timepieces to consumers at accessible price points. Following their quiet appearance on Casio's international website earlier this month, the three-model lineup combines Casio's signature durability with eye-catching green aesthetics across different watch formats.
Digital Essentials: W-218HD-3AV (£29)
The most affordable entry in the series, the W-218HD-3AV features Casio's iconic square digital design with a green-accented negative display (white text on black background). Key features include:
- Stainless steel band with triple-fold clasp
- 7-year battery life (CR2016)
- 50-meter water resistance
- LED backlight
Positioned as a practical everyday watch, this model offers Casio's signature durability in a minimalist package. At £29, it undercuts competitors like Timex's Weekender series while offering superior water resistance.
Analog Diver Inspiration: MRW-210H-3BV (£39)
This marine-inspired analog model features a distinctive green dial and rotating unidirectional bezel. Specifications include:
- Resin case and band construction
- Day/date complication
- 100-meter water resistance
- 3-year battery life (SR927SW)
The MRW-210H-3BV provides a sportier alternative to basic analog watches from brands like Swatch, with enhanced water resistance making it suitable for swimming and water sports despite lacking explicit shock resistance ratings.
Hybrid Powerhouse: AEQ-110W-3A2V (£50)
The premium model in the series combines analog hands with digital functionality:
- Dual sub-dials displaying hour/minute/second, AM/PM, month/date/day
- Telememo 30-contact storage
- World time (30 cities)
- 3 daily alarms, countdown timer, stopwatch
- 10-year battery life (CR2025)
Priced at £50, the AEQ-110W-3A2V competes directly with Casio's own A158WA-1 (currently $29.95 on Amazon) but offers significantly expanded functionality including the unique Telememo contact storage – a rare feature in this price segment.
Buyer Considerations
Each model serves distinct use cases:
- W-218HD-3AV: Ideal for buyers seeking basic digital functionality with maximum battery life
- MRW-210H-3BV: Best for aquatic activities with its 100m water resistance
- AEQ-110W-3A2V: Perfect for travelers needing world time and those valuing analog-digital hybridization
Casio hasn't announced pricing or availability for the US and other markets yet. Given the UK pricing structure, we expect competitive positioning against Casio's existing value-focused lines when the watches launch globally.
