Casio has officially brought its new WS-1800 digital watch lineup to the United States, giving fans of practical, retro-inspired timepieces three fresh options to choose from: the WS-1800-1AV, WS-1800-2AV, and WS-1800-3AV. After first surfacing in late 2025 and later appearing in parts of Europe, these multifunctional Casio watches are now available for US buyers looking for an affordable, feature-packed everyday watch.
All three Casio WS1800 models are priced at $39.95 each through Casio’s US online store. They’re also listed for pre-order through the brand’s Amazon storefront, but the price there is notably higher at roughly $65, making the official store the better-value option if you’re shopping based on price.
What makes the WS-1800 series stand out is its distinctive “retro-style large graphic display,” designed to be easy to read at a glance. The top portion of the watch face includes two scale-style graphics that help you track timing functions more clearly, whether you’re using the countdown timer or the stopwatch. Beneath that, a larger display area shows the essentials: current time, date, and day of the week, all laid out for quick readability.
Beyond the bold display, the Casio WS1800 is built for daily convenience. It includes world time support for 29 time zones, a daily alarm, and hourly time signals—useful for anyone who likes regular reminders throughout the day. For low-light conditions, the dial is lit by an integrated amber LED backlight.
Casio also leans into reliability and long-term use with this release. The WS-1800 is rated for accuracy within 30 seconds per month, and it includes a fully automatic calendar that’s set to stay current through the year 2099. It’s also water resistant up to 100 meters, making it suitable for swimming and everyday exposure to water. Powering it all is a CR2025 battery, with an expected battery life of around 10 years—an appealing detail for anyone who wants a low-maintenance digital watch.
With classic Casio digital styling, a graphic-forward display aimed at making timer and stopwatch use easier, and strong everyday specs like 100 m water resistance and a decade-long battery, the WS-1800-1AV, WS-1800-2AV, and WS-1800-3AV arrive as budget-friendly options for shoppers searching for a retro digital watch in the US.
