Casio A1100 is disappointing

What camera do you use to take your watch pictures? They are excellent!

[@NoelKunz]

I seem to be the only one happy with mine. I love it for exactly what it is.

[@Bytesmega]

Let's not forget that it has no 24H. It also has a very underwhelming module. Premium watch but Casio dropped the ball on this one. And the bracelet is a hairpuller for sure.

[@khazelnut]

It's not that important to have 24H is it? You already know if it's day or night by looking outside.

[@geoffy8245]

@@khazelnut it’s definitely a basic and expected feature for a digital module. Just showing a “p” would do. There’s no excuse unless we talking about mechanical complications. Casio does this deliberately to downgrade their watches so you never find the “perfect” watch from them and keeps you forever desiring more and paying attention to their next catalog. It’s the game you play with a cheap yet hyper successful brand like Casio. They can’t scalp you sufficiently off a single sale so they employ a different tactic.

[@miguellazaro4405]

@@geoffy8245yeah you are right hahaha they did that so you don't have a perfect watch, but at least has the "bip" every hour, so is great for me

[@MrPleers]

The fact that it was no 24 hour mode was my dealbreaker.

[@ImaginaryEvil]

​@khazelnut yeah I agree, don't get me wrong I prefer 24h on a digital but my analogue watches don't have it, so I get by 😊 I've ordered the A1100 today

[@aTomato-ev5yj]

Asia is a big market and they tend to have smooth arms.

[@BosunM8James]

I love the design of this watch it's just a disappointment the module doesn't have 24h time. When I first saw this watch my first reaction was: THIS is the stainless steel casio we've been asking for. I just wish the module was better and because of the module I feel like it's just a tad overpriced. I really liked how you showed off what a strap monster this watch is which is rare for these little Casio's. The leather and the red nato looked awesome.

[@GedmisLaguna]

Perfect review. It looks really well and pairing with the different straps you can get even more interesting appearances. But yeah, 130 Eur is too much.

[@throndor77]

God tier looks with shitty functional execution and incorrect pricing. Pure sadness. This could have a massive cult of a following.

[@viennakrakatoaleipzignumbers]

This is a fantastic looking watch, but a pity that the bracelet is a hair-nipper. Even before that though, the reason I never considered the predecessors to this watch (The A100 "Alien" watch) or this one is that the day-date are not available at a quick glance. If I have to press a button to change the view to get that information, I am almost definitely going to end up looking at my phone screen instead. It's definitely a "me" problem, but it's one I wear a watch to cut down on. So time, and date on the primary display are an absolute must, and the day is a nice to-have.

[@Username-oj9rd]

tbh.., U need smartwatch... a single tab for your whole need in the planet😂😂😂

[@valueink]

It has its flaws, but it's a superb overall watch. I love mine and it hasn't come off my wrist since I've gotten it.

[@volodymyrsukhyna5932]

Thank you for yet another honest review. I liked the design from the moment I saw it, but the price is not adequate for the feature set. Cheers.

[@_zigger_]

The dumbest thing about this watch is that the module is actually able to show 24 hour time, the digit on the very left can be any number (not just "1" as you might think). But it just doesn't do that for some reason. It's sad that casio's stainless steel models are so pricey and still so shit.

[@Petruccio1881]

The best review, as always!

[@J.T.Stillwell3]

Why would you buy a vintage watch and then complain about its vintage issues? The straps we retro people had in those were just like that. This watch wasn’t made for Chewbacca. It doesn’t have water resistance?? NEWS FLASH! If it did it wouldn’t be retro or a remake. Know what you are buying!

[@KermitSip]

Just because it's a vintage reissue doesn't mean it has to have vintage shite build quality? You like your retro cars to be rustbuckets too?

[@sesetti]

People buy a vintage style watch for the vintage STYLE. If you buy one for the shit quality you're just a moron.

[@davidcrandall4958]

Do you routinely abuse people on social media! please pay attention to guide lines!​@@KermitSip

[@joelgingrich9467]

Appreciate seeing these on dif straps! Thx!

[@peterseddon1387]

Very overpriced I agree . I would have a Edifice all day long compared to this

[@DanRC69]

Not even half as good as the A1000RCB-1. That strap is a disaster - typical of Casio.

[@dorudragoescu1311]

This is totally underwhelming. I think Casio should simply release a steel A168W and not these half-a55ed attempts. 🤷‍♂️

[@cezzarmicu]

The Casio A1000 is practically a steel A168. I have one and I love it ;) Looks better than this A1000 to my eyes as well, just don’t get the one with negative display

[@TheAmirata]

Great review! Thanks for showing us what the watch looks like on different bracelets and straps. It’s a watch that seems to look good on anything. I wonder how the watch would look on a mesh bracelet, which is comfortable and looks great.

[@zathrasthetenth505]

Strap is fine. Times Q is way worse as the edges are razor sharp. The A1100 edges are slightly rounded, it’s still cheap but not the worst.

[@lookatwrist]

I have this, it's beautiful. I felt the bracelet was very high quality, but yeah why and how it grabs hair the way it does. Really weird - very painful! But strap swaps are great on this one.

[@noisepuppet]

I know ppl are down on the PRX digital, but I think the display makes better use of the real estate, and just overall it's kind of growing on me. It's just hard to find a low profile, well designed digital in steel.

[@KermitSip]

PRX digital is underrated. So much hate from Casio-stans that a Swiss brand beat their watch God to making the perfect stainless steel digital.

[@davidcrandall4958]

PRX Digital is very unapealing! while the Casio is a near replica of an original Vintage Casio, Tissot just slapped a digital module into a watch that never was digital!​@@KermitSip

[@seventyandone]

Wasn't aware that it's that expensive. Crazy!!!

[@Baruch-Hashem]

Thanks for your review. I love mine ! I never go deeper than 10 meters and love the bracelet. For me, it is a great watch and no, I am not an employee or paid by Casio. My only gripe is I wish it was not made in China, but the quality is very good. The only button I use is the light, and I also use my finger nail. I have tried a NATO bracelet and switched back as the bracelet looks best, I agree. Its my favorite retro looking watch.

[@TomasWatchReviews]

30 meters of WR means it is only splash proof, not recommended for swimming. For swimming you need 50m WR, to dive 10m you need 100m WR. I agree, it is definitely one of the best looking ones.

[@ender1077]

Speaking of the Casio Edifice, did you see they are making a "Casioak" Edifice with a tiffany dial? EFR-S108D-2BV

[@TomasWatchReviews]

I am not sure about those screws on the corners. I like EFB-108D a bit better. Don't care much about "Oak" thing or branded color names.

[@Shadowwalker1717]

The best digital Watch they release for years and he says it is disappointing. No clue about watches.

[@MrPleers]

I was considering this watch for a short times. Because I like the look of it. Until I noticed that it doesn't have a 24 hour mode. Something that is a must for me.

[@MyBucketOfScapulas]

Same. Other people might think that’s weird, but I keep all my digital watches on 24hr. Having one that doesn’t do it would drink me crazy.

[@ozgundemirr]

it is overpriced as hell.

[@nathanaelsmith3553]

Thank you for your honesty. I still like the look of it - maybe one day I will get one. Or maybe I will spend the money on something else.

[@drnubb762]

I wanted this watch so badly but no 24 hour is a dealbreaker for me :(

[@MrPleers]

same for me. I need the 24 hour mode on a digital watch.

[@Isaac-gh5ku]

I also want 1/100 stopwatch for the A1100D.

[@corneliucazacu5274]

I got it at a good sale but I am really struggling to remove the strap. I have a nice leather strap I want to put on it

[@LambentOrt]

I was waiting for Casio to release something like this... but in the end I've decided not to get it because the module is kinda meh. I already have the A100, which is good enough for me.

[@MiguelBricaBrac]

Again you nailed it. $150+ dollars and we are getting a watch with a press caseback and poor water resistance. The features of the watch are from a basic time keeping module. A metal alloy that while great looking scratches easy. The illumination and that orange tint is uninspiring also my model, when I pressed the illumination, the contrast legibility of the numbers diminished. Finally the look, the watch looks amazing, but with a terrible hair catching bracelet. You showcased so many other options, but IMHO they all made the watch look out of place. It is a watch design that looks cheap without its original bracelet. Great review.

[@scg9065]

I only think the water resistance should at least be 50m if not 100m. And it would be nice if the date was already on display like in the a168w etc. Just these two tho. Other than that I think it’s fantastic.

[@burakkumdakc3913]

[@ElPashmino]

they should have added an autolight function

[@emrahustuner7899]

As you say, for 50 euros is very very good and i wait a better one....

Neee! This is just an awesome, Vintage Casio Gem! Even the Bracelet is good enough and ,as you said, very beautiful. My Wristhair doesnt get ripped out, dont be so harmful😅 If the Price is around 80 €, its perfect! Saphir would be nice too.

[@mitchhills1244]

What is the name of the style of the original bracelet? Maybe there’s one out there that looks as good but is more comfortable

[@TomasWatchReviews]

no idea

[@khazelnut]

all the strap options doesn't look as good because the original protrudes out closer to the actual case width. Maybe consider shaving the arm hair around the area of the strap. No one gonna see it if you wear your watch.
