Love that dw290. Also your G shock square is a beauty 😍

[@hellper198]

I recently bought the Casio DW-290-1V, the strap does take a bit of getting used to. I replaced the original resin strap with a replacement strap from a Casio Calculator (CA-53W-1Z) Watch. I also thought that this was discontinued, but brand new units are now readily at my local Casio Retail Shop (maybe they are just getting rid of their dead-stock). Yes, I am still going to get a few back-up pieces just in case Casio discontinues the model again.

[@ColinLack]

One of my closest friends bought this for me waiting for it to arrive.

[@ShinyThings]

Cool! It's great to have friends that buy you watches! 😁👍

[@ColinLack]

@@ShinyThings It is! He was like "I want to buy you a watch for your birthday!" He bought it last year but couldn't ship for reasons. But getting it soon so that's what matters.

[@luislanza2068]

This is the best casio ever i tell you why the date alarm light system and the timers as well however i dont used to often because is to good unless something came up i got the dw291 to do hes job.

[@JoeyAnswer]

It's a classic, my favorite goes to the M:i-2 G-Shock DW6900 paired with my Romeo 1's! I play the M:i theme on my ukulele, it's impossible not to play haha. I love this watch for the ability of the strap size being 18mm. I own a two piece nato that i swap out time to time.

[@ShinyThings]

Thank you for sharing! 🙂👍

[@andrewd7586]

I bought this a couple of years ago & swapped out the plastic strap for a colour matched NATO. Wears a lot more comfortable & looks a lot better!😎 Great watch btw!👍🏼

[@ShinyThings]

It is definitely more comfortable on the NATO! Thanks for sharing! 🙂👍

[@denidude1]

dw 290 and 291 are so good

[@edwardsjohnpaul]

I just love this watch, it wins on style and functionality with the unmistakable and unique case design; being super affordable and practical makes it an 11 out of 10!

[@ShinyThings]

Thanks for sharing! 🙂👍

[@MrTw2009]

This is one of my favorite watches. SO much so that I own two of them. One to wear , and one as backup incase the first one dies and I can't buy a 2nd one. That's how I roll ;)

[@ShinyThings]

😁👍

[@dunderhay9169]

Great video 👍 I do like the Mission Impossible films, but I prefer the DW5600 as it is less bulky and has a more resolved design, I believe it was worn in Speed too 😁

[@ShinyThings]

Thanks for sharing! 🙂👍

[@rainappleby]

Paratroopers straps is perfect for it.

[@magstheonlyone]

I wish they did color variations, but still, I love mine

[@brianmsahin]

I'm wearing it right now ! I swapped the strap for a green silicon to match the print colour, had to adapt it a little, but it's more comfortable than the original. Here's a tip for people who want to keep the printing on the case pristine as it can wear off. Get some frosted clear nail polish, maybe your wife or girlfriend has some already. Make sure it's not the shiny one Gently apply some, just one swipe only over the print itself and leave it for a good few hours to be sure it's dry and you have an invisible barrier that will ensure the print never fades or rubs off. Excellent review as always. This is one of my favourite watches, definitely one of the coolest watches from Casio. I bought it before knowing the Mission Impossible link so now it feels even cooler !

[@ShinyThings]

Cool tip, Cheers! 😁👍

[@tohian]

Love your channel dude. Great timing. I bought this a month ago. Been wearing it nearly everyday since then. The original strap is truly horrible though.

[@ShinyThings]

Great to hear! 🙂👍

[@valengreymoon5623]

These were discontinued in September 2015. It is surprising to a point, that they are still available, sometimes at extremely inflated prices. I was lucky enough to grab one from an A.D. for $35.

[@ShinyThings]

Thanks for the info! I guess I'll need to buy a few more, just in case 🙂

[@MrEpsilonZero]

Green writing lasted a few months, before being completely worn out. Not a big issue to me the rest seems great. It doesn`t automatically adjust to summer/winter time and I wish I could change position of months and day on watch face as in UK we have day/months/year as atypical format.

[@brianmsahin]

Yes, this happens. If you ever buy another one, have a look at the tip on my comment here. 3 years, and the print is still perfect.

[@MERKAMGCLK]

I love mine.

[@thetattedpharmacist3215]

I have one and it’s awesome! I paid about $42US on eBay 😁

[@weswatches]

What a stunner, under the radar looks yet so much street cred☝️thanks for another awesome review 😊

[@ShinyThings]

Thanks Wes! 🙂👍

[@keithburford8589]

Throw a brick in the air and it will more than likely land on a G-Shock , unlikely it will ever land on a 290 !!. I've owned mine for donkeys years and have never seen one on a wrist out in the wild . If you are adept with a craft knife buy cheap 22mm FKM rubber straps off ebay etc and notch the corners out to fit the lug width , looks and wears far better than on a 19mm Nato 🙂.

[@brianmsahin]

I did it and you're right. I managed to find one that matched the colour of the print on the case and it looks great !

[@darrensmith6999]

My absolute favorite Casio love the shape so unusual oh i have 2 (:

[@davehall4054]

Had one since around '98, that one still ok but display a bit washed out. Got another one around '15. Love the 90s techno goth style. Although my daily these days is the splendid Casio Duro the dw290 still get a bit of wrist time.

[@ShinyThings]

1998 till now - not a bad mileage! 🙂👍

[@ednammansfield8553]

I really like this watch but it's much to large for my wrist. I instead purchased the Casio G-Shock 5610 with the negative display and also the positive display version. Both are excellent watches having multiband 6 and are solar powered. They have everything I need in a watch and are good value for money imo.

[@ShinyThings]

I really like my negative display g-shock square too 🙂 the one in the video.

[@RajaratnamVarasala-yb1eh]

I want this watch please tell me where available this watch sir

[@palemale2501]

Why pay 3 times the price for a G shock when the only extras are radio controlled or bluetooth, and an auto light ?

[@paulienkhamvaiphei134]

Sadly this particular model is not available in India officially.

[@Nico-be7ic]

Hard to get currently in Europe for a fair price 😥

[@ShinyThings]

Hmm... Amazon uk? They should ship to EU.

[@brianmsahin]

@@ShinyThings True , but with the UK no longer in the EU there could be import duties and tax possibly ?

[@ShinyThings]

@brianmsahin possibly, although if I order on Amazon UK an item that is shipped by Amazon EU I don’t get any additional charges, which possibly means that the import duty is already factored in the displayed price.

[@Nico-be7ic]

Unfortunately shipping not available to Germany...

[@scarredhandsreviews]

Dah dah dah dah dah ....

[@leroykucia254]

Damn....that watch is so ugly....like the ugly duckling of the G-Shock brand. I love G-Shock. the 5600's are awesome, the 6900's are iconic and the MTG line is amazing....but this thing....maaaaannnn.......uh uh man......

[@DJ-un4oh]
