Desk clock that can display multiple weather forecasts every 3 hours & municipalities "DWS - 200J - 7JF" review

There is something on the desk clock that displays temperature and humidity in addition to time, but I will go one step further and change the weather every 3 hours from now, weather forecast after tomorrow, weather of multiple municipalities & Temperature etc. are displayed on CASIO's "DWS-200J-7JF"is. Although I know the change of the weather by looking at the smartphone, if I put it on the desk, I did not have the trouble of exploring the pocket, so it seemed convenient to check by just moving the line of sight, so I actually tried using it.

This is "DWS-200J-7JF". The size is 93 × 262 × 59 mm wide landscape display, weighs about 530 g. It connects with the iPhone with Bluetooth and uses it, but since the body shown in the following picture is before connecting with the iPhone, there is no weather forecast etc on the display and only the time is displayed.


The left and right sides of the main body look like the following, especially no function.

On the back left, there are a volume change switch and nine buttons, "auto speech" and "display mode change button", and a reset button. You can change the display mode from the iPhone application, but you can change it with these buttons even if you do not have an iPhone.


A speaker on the right side.

Press and hold the button on the back of the main unit.


Then the body is recognized with such feeling, so tap the part of the number.


This completes the connection. When I looked at the main body, the weather forecast for every 3 hours around my house was displayed on the right side of the display where nothing was displayed before. "It will be cloudy after 12 o'clock in the afternoon. Would you like to dry the laundry in the morning ...?" It is convenient because you can judge by watching the clock at first sight.


Whether to display the time on the display, to display only the date, whether to display the room temperature ... ... etc can be set with "display setting" of the application.


First, select "time", "month / day", "indoor temperature / humidity", and tap "Next" to display the largest display on the right half of the display. I chose the time this time.


Next, select what you want to display in the space between the time and the weather from "seconds / day", "year / day", "month / day", "indoor temperature / humidity". Select "Year / Day" this time and tap "Next".


Finally, choose what you want to display on the right side of the display. When "weather forecast (daily)", the weather and the temperature after today and tomorrow are displayed ......


With "weather forecast (4 cities)" it is possible to select three municipalities other than home and display the weather and temperature of those cities.


In the case of "year / month / day / time / indoor temperature / humidity" there is no weather information.


If you choose "dual time", you can display the time at home on the left side of the display and the time spent by someone in the overseas city on the right side.


"Weather forecast (every 3 hours)" seems to be useful unless you plan to go to a remote location or want to know the situation of someone who is away from home. In this case weather forecast up to 15 hours ahead can be displayed. Press "Finish" ......


Finally, by tapping the "Send settings to clock" button, the selected display settings will be reflected in the watch body.


It is like this when putting the set watch on the desk.


In addition to the weather forecast "Show up to 9 hours ahead on one screen", there are also modes that "show up to 15 hours ahead on 2 screens". In this case, the display will change every 5 seconds.

If you continue with the same work, you can set up to three other places outside home. Finally, when "Send setting to clock" is pushed, settings are reflected in the watch itself.


The display looks something like this when you actually set three go-to locations. The display at home / outside is automatically switched at 5 to 60 seconds intervals, and the switching interval can be changed arbitrarily.
