Transcripts
Casio has just released another step
counter watch the model number WS b1000
Inside the Box we get a watch then also
your manual warranty card and a tag for
this watch so this watch has actually
got quite a lot of functions here and
this watch also links with your phone
where you can see your step count
history and many more stuff and you can
see the specifications of this watch
here if you pause the video and the
battery on this watch will last you for
2 years and we do get fairly interesting
design of this Casio watch so we got two
buttons on this side and one metal
button on this side but also a plastic
button on this side which we can use to
cycle through different options and
menus basically and also get the fifth
button here which you can use for other
functions as well so you can see it has
these metal screws here at the top I
think they're probably fake ones but
yeah and the Buckle here is is like
black and with a black keypad as well as
the Buckle is all plastic and this is
what the back looks like it has got 10
bars of water resistance also the
protection of the screen seems decent as
all these black bars are actually raised
above that screen so it won't scratch as
easily compared to other Casio watch
these metal buttons are actually kind of
hard to press for example I have a
similar step counter tracker watch here
again with a bit smaller buttons and
they're very easy to press on this one
it's actually fairly hard to press them
and also the edges are a bit sharp on
these buttons personally I'm not a huge
fan of these buttons this uh button here
however presses very easily and it's
very pleasant to the touch these ones
could be made better I guess and this
button over here I would say also is
pretty good and this is what the watch
looks like on my wrist uh I do have
fairly small wrists but still it fits me
perfectly fine as you can see there
actually plenty of adjustments so it
will really fit any person so yeah I
think it actually looks pretty good also
I would say the strap also feels very
decent and very comfortable and overall
the visibility of the screen also is
very good I would say it's actually a
pretty good looking watch
indeed and overall the strap of this
watch also seems very good and at the
first glance I would say this watch also
appears to be very well made and it
should be actually fairly durable
probably just as durable as more
expensive G-Shock watches yeah no
problems there really and this is what
the backlight looks like on it as you
can see it illuminates pretty much the
whole screen and it's actually very
visible and I would say it's excellent
actually okay and let's check out the
functions of this watch so we can cycle
through different modes basically
pressing this mode button and again this
button actually feels very good the
other buttons I'm not huge fan of them
so first is obviously a stopwatch and we
can start it also reset it like this and
also we can record uh various laps here
as well then when we move further we can
actually see all our stopwatch
recordings so I haven't used this watch
for a very long time but obviously as
you start using it and actually
recording it all your stopwatch
recordings will appear here and the next
function is the timer basically so it's
a basic timer we can adjust it pressing
this button and we can cycle up or down
with this button so again this uh button
has got multiple different functions and
yeah it's yeah it's a very good system
actually and I really like the timer on
this watch and it's very intuitive and
we are very easy to actually use so
thumbs up then the next function is uh
or dual time and in this mode basically
we can see our second time zone that you
can again adjust very simply you do not
have to literally like uh change any
time zones or enter any cities you can
simply uh change the time to whatever
you really need then the next function
uh is alarms so I think this watch has
got how many alarms okay five different
alarms and also this o chime as well so
five different alarms That's mighty cool
and when it comes to the functions uh
that's pretty much it then when we are
in this main watch face mode when we
press this button we can actually see
our daily step counts so you can see I
have already walked with it today over
6,000 steps and also at the top here you
can see your uh hourly progress
basically of how many steps you have
taken for that hour I think goes to
maximum 1,000 steps but uh I'm not sure
but anyway once you reach 1,000 steps
for the tower I think the bar will fill
up then when we are actually in our time
mode we can also press this lower button
and this watch will automatically sync
the time with your watch so you always
will have the perfect time okay and
let's check out the app of this watch so
it does have got a pretty good app here
so you can also pretty much set your
alarms timers here uh you can see your
stopwatch here as well um you have to
connect it so I do that by holding this
it will say
connect okay as you see it's pairing
with
it and if you want to change these
settings you really have to connect with
it
first by the way it also syncs the steps
from time to time itself with the uh
watch but if you want change any of
these settings you have Bas basically
press this and see Sy it first so as you
can see you can set your alarms U
different timers here um you can adjust
your VA time zones so you can select
from which ones you want or search for
City then also you can add this phone
finder so you can actually find your
phone with this watch as well if you
press and hold this lower button here
okay then once we close this and go to
the my page you can actually check your
stats here here so for example you can
see how many steps you have taken for
the day and how much energy you have
burned so I would take this energy burn
really is a huge grain of salt also you
can see your uh like all activity how
many steps you did in the OR and also
energy burned again I wouldn't really
look at that energy is probably off and
you can also see your weak overview here
as well and also you can see your months
here as well so you can actually track
your steps fairly decently and also this
watch can actually record U uh like your
location sometimes as well where you
have been so uh but it can't really
track GPS exercise just record your
location once so I'm not sure what
purpose of this is while the app isn't
probably the most advanced one you can
still see pretty much the main stuff
here so really the step accounts and the
history over the week and months
basically so what else you really need
and you can also quickly change the time
here as well from the app and again it
updates the time automatically with your
watch so you always have the perfect
time on it okay and let's talk about the
most important feature of this watch the
step counter and if it's actually any
good so if you maybe have watched my
other videos on these older Casio step
counter watches then I have already
warned you just how terrible there and
basically if you wear it and simply move
your alarm it will count pretty much any
arm movement as a step so it adds crazy
amounts of steps these watches overcome
by roughly 55% so they're extremely
inaccurate however I can see that this
watch is actually improved after wearing
both of them today so you can see is
this has recorded 8,000 steps while this
one
6,400 steps and this is obious L way
more accurate and when I simply wear and
try to fool it it it can't be that
easily fooled still I think it still
records quite a lot of steps that really
aren't steps so again if you simply V
your watch and do something else but we
are not working it will still record
some steps and overall I think this
watch still overcomes by maybe 20% but I
really need more test to confirm this so
but compared compared to like Samsung or
Apple watch this again overc counts a
bit maybe 20% and overall I would say
the step counter accuracy of this watch
is comparable maybe to febit watches
those also overc count quite a bit for
example if this watch says you have
walked 10,000 steps today in reality it
might only be8 or 9,000 steps so again
it's providing more steps than you
actually take so that's some to consider
overall from my first test I can see
that this is improved indeed over the
older Casio step counter watches but
still it's h not the most accurate and
if you want the most accurate trackers
really maybe get a Samsung Galaxy watch
or one of the vwe watches but really we
also have to consider just how low end
technology is inside in this watch and
this watch literally last for 2 years on
a single battery so Samsung or Apple
watches literally last you on only one
or two days so and they do a lot of
background processing and they consume a
lot of power this again last two years
for this technology I think the step
counter is excellent and really good
also one more great thing about this
watch is that it doesn't really have a
negative display but a positive display
that's actually very good and has got
very good visibility if you actually
want another CIO step counter watch
that's actually accurate these other
ones are are not accurate doing the
purchase and they're absolutely terrible
so if you want another watch that can
literally last for 2 years your only
option really is something from the
G-Shock range if you actually want have
decent uh step contraer however pretty
much all those G-Shock watches have
negative displays and they're absolutely
terrible well maybe the gbd 200 uh
displays isn't very terrible to see but
still the display is extremely slow on
that watch as you can see on this is
extremely fast on those negative display
watches that are the memory in pixel
displays you literally get 1 second
delay between the prices so actually
this watch is way better than any of
those G-Shock watches that again even
cost like two or three times more than
this watch by the way when it comes to
the price I paid um around €50 for this
watch so while obviously it's not the
cheapest Casio watch I syn for the
features you get and actually is a good
screen and also the easy menu that works
super fast I think it's as it's a steal
actually because again um if you want a
G-Shock watch it will literally cost you
two or three times more and really the
durability of the G-Shock aren't really
better and the build quality of the
modern G-Shocks again aren really better
I have tested quite a lot of G the
G-Shocks with a step counters on my
channel if you want to check it out
overall I would say this is really in
durability is pretty much same as a
G-Shock just with a better screen again
on G-Shocks I do not really offer the
like regular positive display ones only
the negative ones so I don't know why
and overall yeah I really think this
absolutely great watch again if you
maybe look at some of the G-Shock step
count trackers they includes a bunch of
useless features that don't really work
such notifications that don't work also
a bunch of other useless stuff and most
of them actually do not have good timer
this has got good simple timer so really
uh again it's probably a bit more
expensive than other Casio watches but I
think it's well worth it the step
counter is decent decent build quality
and yeah the screen is good so what else
you really need so great job Casio
