Is the Casio WV-200R worth it at $50?

At $50.00 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it is a cheap way to get atomic timekeeping and 200 m water resistance. Comparable Casio Wave Ceptor models often cost more.

Does it work outside the US?

It syncs to the WWVB signal from Colorado, which is strongest in North America. Elsewhere it runs as a normal quartz watch and you set the time manually.

How big is it on the wrist?

The case is 47 mm across and 15.2 mm thick, so it wears large. It suits bigger wrists better than slim ones.

Yes. It is rated to 200 m (20 bar), which covers swimming and snorkeling. Casio does not rate it for scuba diving.

The listing describes the watch and papers. One buyer reported receiving no box or manual, so confirm contents with the seller before ordering.

How often does the battery need changing?

Casio rates the CR1620 at about 3 years. Backlight and alarm use shorten that.

Our take on the Casio WV-200R-5ACF Wave Ceptor Illuminator

The Casio WV-200R-5ACF is a resin-cased digital watch that sets itself from the WWVB atomic clock signal in Colorado, so it stays accurate without manual adjustment. It pairs that with a backlight, 29-time-zone world time, a 1/100-second stopwatch and 200 m water resistance in a 47 mm case. The only new price tracked is $50.00 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, which is low for a solar-free atomic Casio.
