How to choose the best watches under AU$200 in Australia

  1. 1Choose analogue or digital first. The Casio A158WA-1 is the one digital watch here, with a stopwatch, daily alarm and LED light. The MEGALITH 8272M is an analogue chronograph with 3 sub-dials, and the three CIVO watches are analogue.
  2. 2Check the case size against your wrist. The MEGALITH 8272M is listed at 42 mm and 11 mm thick, the CIVO 8336 at 39 mm, the CIVO 2408 at 35 mm and the Casio at 32 mm. The CIVO 8354 is rectangular: its description gives 26*32mm and 7.5 mm thick.
  3. 3Pick the strap. The MEGALITH 8272M, the Casio and the CIVO 8354 have stainless steel bracelets. The CIVO 2408 has a white leather strap. The CIVO 8336 has a silicone strap, though its description says leather. Two listings give a wrist size: 165-205mm for the CIVO 2408 and 160-220 mm for the CIVO 8336.
  4. 4Do not plan to swim in them. The MEGALITH 8272M, CIVO 2408 and CIVO 8354 listings say they are not suitable for bathing, swimming or diving, and the CIVO 8336 listing mentions sweat, rain and splashes from hand washing. The Casio's table gives 99 feet, a figure in feet rather than the metres the others use, and its listing does not mention swimming.
  5. 5Look for a date and a battery figure if they matter. The MEGALITH 8272M has a built-in calendar, and the CIVO 2408 and the Casio show the date and day. Only two listings give a battery life: the Casio's title says 7 Yr Battery and the CIVO 2408 listing says more than a year.

Editor's note

Three things separate these watches. The first is the display: the Casio A158WA-1 is digital with an alarm and stopwatch, the MEGALITH 8272M is an analogue chronograph, and the three CIVO watches are analogue. The second is size and weight: the MEGALITH is listed at 42 mm and 146 grams, while the CIVO 2408 is 35 mm and 26.9g and the CIVO 8354 is 7.5 mm thick. The third is the strap: steel bracelets on the MEGALITH, Casio and CIVO 8354, leather on the CIVO 2408 and silicone on the CIVO 8336, whose description says leather. Three listings say not suitable for swimming, and none of the five says the watch can be worn swimming. Listings were read on 28 October 2026 and can change.

Frequently asked questions

Which of these watches are made for women?

Two are listed under Womens. The CIVO 2408 has a 35 mm round case, a white leather strap and a date and day display, and weighs 26.9g.

Are any of these watches smartwatches?

The listings say no or do not say. The MEGALITH 8272M, CIVO 2408 and CIVO 8354 are 3ATM, and their listings say they are not suitable for bathing, swimming or diving. The CIVO 8336 listing mentions sweat, rain and splashes from hand washing. The Casio A158WA-1 table gives 99 feet, and its listing does not mention swimming.

Which watch has a chronograph?

The MEGALITH 8272M is the one chronograph in this guide, with 3 sub-dials for 1/10 second, second and minute. The Casio A158WA-1 has a stopwatch instead, which its title describes as a 100 SEC Stop Watch, along with a daily alarm.
