Casio Duro: Is This The Best Beater Watch?

Review of the Casio Duro
Reference #: MDV106B-1A2V

[@TimeForAnotherWatch]

Although the lume could be better, I agree with you that this watch has very few weaknesses, when considering the price of the watch. I put my Bluro on a blue tropic strap and it suits the watch really well, as giving a great weight balance. Overall, I think its the best watch that I've ever bought for under £50. New subscriber here, enjoyed the video, thanks!

Thank you and I am glad you enjoyed the video.

[@anima201]

I enjoy looking at your watch.

[@spankyharland9845]

for $42.00, I can deal with lume not lasting too long and maybe the second hand not hitting the the marks, but it is a very accurate watch and does look rather good on a handsome metal bracelet.

thanks for showing the pepsi! it looks good you're reviewing some cool watches thanks for posting this one man!

I just received the "gold" version of this watch from Amazon, last weekend. $40 USD. I didn't care from the "feel" of the rubber strap, that it came with, so I changed to a "Bond" type NATO strap. (black, and green, with red stripes)...I have a 7-5/8" wrist, so it fits well.

I have the new Duro MDV 107 without the Marlin. I think it is truly captures the essentials of the watch. Clear dial without any Marlin logo, they also improved the watch by give the applied indices in the dial which we can't see in the Marlin. Both of them are cool, Marlin is iconic, MDV-107 capturing the essentials of this type. But I need to replace my strap to a tropical rubber strap, it's totally a perfect beater watch now.

What band is that? I have one of these and have a few Barton leather straps but I want either an oyster or something like you have.

[@lorenzotuletta7713]

Just threw a black leather crocodile patterned strap on my my black Duro. Highly recommend adding a leather strap to your rotation if you haven't already 👌🏽

[@sonicmagnus5312]

i want a jubilee and oyster bracelets for mine ! currently have the black band where did you get your variant band ?

[@thewatchverdict]

I got mine off of eBay, it is original to some of the other Duro variants.

[@gussk8e]

I have this watch. I love It. Looks so good in person. Lume is horrible but not a big deal at all for me tbh

[@thewatchverdict]

You really do get a lot for your money here. I think this deserves a premium strap, and if you can the sapphire upgrade makes it just that much better, at least to me. And with the low price, the lume is excusable.

[@davidperez9101]

good video, where can I buy that bracelet?

[@thewatchverdict]

I sourced it on eBay. I just made sure it was an original Casio bracelet.

[@notyourtypicalwatchreview2563]

Yes.

[@davidcrandall4958]

Reveiws of this Casio Duro,old reveiws and new are all over the net at the same time! please explain why?

[@thewatchverdict]

Not sure about the others but what I can tell you about my video is that mine went up after I bought my watch and spent time with it. That’s how I do reviews. I don’t plan on releasing videos on specific times or dates. This channel has not been sponsored by anyone up to this point.

[@Graymanone]

I have the same watch. It's a good looking watch that is durable and does what a watch is suppose to do, so what's the down size? One can pay more for a similar watch if their looking for status but I'm past that stage in life.

[@Crownof12stars]

I do not wear anything but orient. I just am very drawn to orient. An their orient star line. I just love a japanese timepiece on my wrist. I have had quite a few different orient models, an i will never want or need to buy a exspensive swiss watch. Orient is just so right for me.

[@Graymanone]

@@Crownof12stars Just purchased the Citizen eco diver and really like it. I replaced the one I lost, Its my favorite watch.

[@Crownof12stars]

I always see people saying good things about the citizen eco drive . My favorite watch is the orient star diver. An i had to replace it , also. Lost mine.

[@LTQD10]

It looks like the rolex Pepsi with that bracelet

[@prnmlfs]

Can you share the link of metal watchband

[@thewatchverdict]

I picked this one up from eBay, for the money I think you’re better off with an aftermarket bracelet. Now there are plenty of offering that even have screws for the links. That would be way better than the original pressed metal bracelet.

[@alanaliyev456GT]

i have batman bezel lol (mtd 107)..a great watch

[@davidcrandall4958]

They are sixty Dollars now!

[@emberkedves6330]

I had 3 version!

[@emberkedves6330]

Yes best!

[@danielhimawan7014]

it's a pity there is no magnifying glass window on the calendar

[@davidcrandall4958]

You need to look closer at Invicta!

[@thewatchverdict]

I actually have owned invictas in the past. They currently don’t interest me much but if enough people request it I wouldn’t be against showing them on the channel. I would just need to find one that would interest me enough though.
