Casio gives a water resistance rating of up to 100 meters on the WS1800. This watch is powered by a CR2025 battery that is claimed to last up to 10 years of use. For visibility in low light conditions, the screen is equipped with an amber LED backlight with afterglow features.
In terms of features, the WS1800 is equipped with a dual-display stopwatch that can display the match time and total running time simultaneously. The event timer can be set from 1 to 60 minutes, and the stopwatch will continue to run even if the timer has ended. The top screen can display time up to 59 minutes 59 seconds, while the bottom screen supports time counting up to 99 minutes 59 seconds.
Casio also embeds a preset countdown timer with a fixed interval ranging from 10 to 45 minutes. This timer supports auto-repeat and elapsed time modes. In addition, up to nine timer intervals with start times that can be set independently are available, with settings in multiples of one minute and five seconds.

The clock has an accuracy level of about plus minus 30 seconds per month, supports 12-hour and 24-hour time formats, and allows users to turn off button sounds if needed.
With a price of 39.95 US dollars or equivalent to around Rp667 thousand, Casio WS1800 targets users who want a functional digital watch with a classic design and very long battery life. Meanwhile, the pre-order price on Amazon is around 65 US dollars equivalent to approximately Rp1.08 million.
