a list of brown and khaki casio watches

While it's really easy to find a black Casio (I wear a black W735H daily), there are brown and khaki color models that are definitely worth a look. In fact, I own one that I'll talk about in a moment.

An earth tone color watch is a feelgood thing, and said honestly, it fits most men's daily wear better. Lots of guys wear earth tones, be it with brown shoes, brown boots, maybe a brown hunter's cap, and so on. Earth tone also works with anything camouflage, like a hunter's jacket.

There's another perk to a brown or khaki Casio. It looks good both when new and when beat up. A black Casio looks like trash when beat up, but not the brown or khaki.

Okay, let's get to the list.

One last note before beginning the list: I'm not listing any of the negative display models, because I would never recommend a watch that's difficult to read.

Casio AE1500WH-5AV

This is the one most guys go for because it's cheap, highly legible and can take a beating. It's a lighter khaki that leans more towards a sand look.

Casio AW80V-5BV

I own this one. Fabric strap with Velcro fastener, ana-digi and looks nice for what it is.

G-SHOCK GD120CM-5

This one is actually camouflaged. Not my style, but it's technically brown and khaki, so I'm including it.

Casio W737HX-5AV

Again, a lighter khaki leaning towards a sand look. Smaller than the AE1500WH but still has a large time display.

Casio WS1500H-5AV

This one is a true brown, and has extra fancy features like moon phase graph and a fishing mode (which I've heard actually does work). I like that the top left digital subdial is also brown. Nice touch.

Casio WV200R-5A

We have a khaki-ish look here because it also has silver surrounding the bezel. It does have atomic timekeeping which is its best selling point.

Casio W219HB-5AV

Basic watch with F-91W type features, but larger with fabric strap and Velcro fastener. Highly legible, great night light.

Casio W800H-5AV

Definitely an older model, but in a true brown offering. This one displays everything you need to know right on the home screen. Weekday, time, month, day and even year.

G-SHOCK GAB2100CT-5A

Dare I say, this is the most elegant brown watch Casio makes. Brown case complemented with a khaki fabric strap. It's a tough G-SHOCK all the way through but looks fantastic in earth tones. This is the one seen at top.

Casio W217H-5AV

This is like the W219HB-5AV but in a squared-off flavor. The dial is black but everything else has the leans-towards-sand appearance. Very nice basic watch with high legibility. And cheap.

Casio Pro Trek PRG340SC-5

This one is best described as a "light camouflage" look. Very outdoorsy type of timepiece, and has features that hikers like as it is a true ABC (altimeter-barometer-compass) watch. And it's solar.

Which is the best?

I actually like the Casio AE1500WH-5AV best, even though it's one of the cheapest on the list. For a brief period I did own the big AE1500 (a black one), and it actually fit my small wrist. It's a big watch that can basically fit anybody, and that's good. I like the 10-year battery life, the features, the price, it's all great...

...but I could totally understand if you went for that brown G-SHOCK, because wow, that thing looks nice.
