My thoughts on the Casio Duro in 2023. I've had mine for a couple of years now, and you really can't go wrong. Between the build, the durability, and the value, it's a must have Casio for those who need a good quartz diver in their collection in 2023.

This is a whole lot of watch for the money!

[@Daleelu-l-Khayrat]

Will be your review for one from Casio Lineage ?

[@masudaharris6435]

I own 5 or 6 of these in different colors and both strap and bracelet versions. I only wish they would make a 40mm version. My daily wearer is an old Casio analog/digital diver, and I have worn Casios about 40 out of the last 50 years. In fact, I was a Casio salesman back in 1979.

[@stevealicioustime]

That's awesome! They are great!

[@garynico9872]

You’re a legend dude

[@kfs173]

I've had this watch for eight years and it's been great, worth every penny and I highly recommend it. However, there are three things that I would do to make this watch better that I would pay extra for: 1. Upgrade the lume to make it brighter and last longer. 2. Upgrade the crystal to make it more scratch resistant. 3. Make the date function larger or delete it altogether. A sort of Casio super duro if they would, I would be on that upgraded watch like Oprah on a baked ham!

[@folksurvival]

Also reduce the size to 40mm.

[@rolandb.campos4535]

I bought all of the colors an the watches are keeping good time, it’s the perfect watch to buy. Excellent video 👍

[@LV4EVR]

Was seriously considering the Invicta Pro Diver Automatic for a daily, but I think I like this better. Doesn't have that giant *I n v i c t a* on the side, and I kind of like that it doesn't have a cyclops either. I can see adding stainless bracelet and a sapphire crystal though. Like you say, sometimes you just need the convenience of a quartz.

[@dannyfrog]

The Invicta Pro Diver in automatic is still a solid watch.

[@dannyfrog]

If you can find one in the stores, you're lucky. My local Wal-Mart had a clearance of the Duro and i bought all 4 they had left. $11/watch 😊

[@stevealicioustime]

Wowwww, that's some deal!!

[@dennisjohansson5716]

Just ordered one, cant explain how excited i am :D

[@MJ-1973]

Have literally just bought one of these, with blue face/bezel too from Amazon uk, but shipped from the US. Also has the marlin on it. Got it for £50. Bargain, and a great looking watch.

[@stevealicioustime]

Definitely!

[@bobbycole3968]

Just bought one three months ago and I am more than satisfied.

[@WATCH-4U]

Got the six colour variants that are easily available love em ...for the money these truely are ya best budget diver still to date in my opinion...

[@darioswatchclub8]

Make a short for this one as well. Shorts are like pawn, that will attract alot of eyes to you channel! Great Vids! Great Strategy!

[@stevealicioustime]

Thanks for watching!

[@runningawayvagabond5876]

Great watch! Had one but it was a catch and release as I have the wrists of a pre-pubescent tween. My guess is if Casio offered these in a 40mm case they'd fly of the shelves so fast the stock staff would get whiplash.

[@stevealicioustime]

That's true, I wonder if they'd ever offer different sizes.

[@wj6782]

Love my Duro, it's a daily and over 2yrs old, And I'm VERY hard on watches... have NO scratches on the crystal, and it's in very good shape. The lume is not great, have no issues with the crown, and the second hand hitting the markers is hit or miss(no pun intended). Mine was very good to begin with, and it appears to get better with time, btw. Spends most of its time on a StrapCode 22mm Super-J Louis JUB Watch Band Straight End, 316L Stainless Steel Solid V-Clasp Button Double Lock. With that confirguration I get a lot of "is that a ______, Oh"

[@stevealicioustime]

Very nice!

[@MrR2185]

I got one of these with the green bezel as a daily "no worries" watch and it is stupid good for the 50 bucks. Case finishing is surprisingly well done, especially that chamfer edge running the top sides of the case. The seconds hand hits the markers about 90% of the time...there are Swiss quartz watches costing many times more that don't achieve that. The bezel action is simply fantastic and it is properly aligned with the dial, something various watches costing much more..fail at. I tried Invicta Pro Divers but they had way too many problems. I owned the models: 8926 & 9937..first one(8926) developed issues like a broken clasp, bezel fell off at random once while putting fresh sheets on the bed, a fogged crystal(never submerged in water, not even washing dishes) and terrible loose feeling crown threads(which probably led to the fog). I gave them another chance many years later and got the 9937, which I had for only two weeks and again with the sketchy feeling crown threads(yes, I was careful) and a badly misaligned bezel put me off, so I sold it off and got the Duro...which has been bullet proof.

[@stevealicioustime]

Definitely!

[@1114gabby]

Duro is fantastic. Period!

[@stevealicioustime]

Yep!

[@jonathanh8187]

Insanely good bang for the buck. I don't think there is a better value.

[@stevealicioustime]

Absolutely!

[@halemcdan1]

Just bought a pepsi one (so I don't have to wear my Oris Aquis to work). It's beautiful. The screw down crown was a big attraction. Still available with the Marlin on the face. G Shock next.

[@stevealicioustime]

Definitely! The pepsi must look good!

[@andromedagodit2492]

Bought mine preloved witha Bond Nato for just 20 bucks... I thought the guy was kidding n just selling the nato... Turned out he's selling Both the watch n the nato... Man-nnn... The best deal I've ever got... Hands down... 😁 💖 🤗

[@stevealicioustime]

Absolutely!

[@dnystrom22]

Love my Duros, my go go to beaters if I still want to wear a nicer looking watch but not have to worry about it. I’ve actually taken my black dial one scuba diving many times with no issues.

[@stevealicioustime]

That's great, and absolutely! A watch you can just pick up and wear without having to worry or think about what you're doing that day.

[@DinoCorvino]

Thanks for this. I think the Duro is the greatest dollars to donuts watch.

[@stevealicioustime]

Absolutely!

[@variant_zz]

Will it fit in my 6.2 inch wrist

[@gusthesailor4885]

I own 4 (black-Pepsi-black gold - blue) all with metal bracelet and very happy 😀 Searching the white dial ... the graal 😄

Just purchased one for surfing but the bezel is freakin hard to move. Does it eventually loosen up?

[@stevealicioustime]

Mine was pretty nice from the start. You maybe got a rough one!

[@darioswatchclub8]

Casio Duro or Invicta Pro Diver? Which one would you take to your 3 week trip to Hawaii?

[@stevealicioustime]

Ooooo, that's tough. On vacation...man...I'd probably want a Quartz on vacation...at least one...less fuss, even though you'd be wearing the other daily. Tough call. I might lean the Duro.

[@darioswatchclub8]

@@stevealicioustime Duro because of the Cheaper price and Quartz. Fair.

[@darioswatchclub8]

@@stevealicioustime Another Question. I am a sucker for great lume, And I am flirting with an Invicta Pro Diver...doesn't have to be the best lume. It can be decent, but It should not be the worst. Can you tell me...Is it ok, or bad on the pro diver? Does lume need to break in, wo with time and exposition it gets better?

[@darioswatchclub8]

@Peter Thank you! I am a Casio Lover! Right now I got a rather tiny wrist. The biggest I wear is a 42mm. The Duro sits at 44? 45?

[@allrandomvideos992]

Where can I buy the classic black version from

[@stevealicioustime]

I thought Amazon had it, but maybe not.

[@allrandomvideos992]

@@stevealicioustime I have searched for it all over the Internet. The ones which I have got are ridiculously overpriced. I heard it has been discontinued because apparently Casio does not own the license to the Marlin logo anymore? A new one is being sold by the name of mdv 107 which does not have the marlin logo.

[@pieters3624]

42mm please!
