I have the brown version. Light weight and I love it a lot.

What a cool little watch. Perfect for gift giving and trying to get kids into watches!

Here is my update to my comment. Mine had been setting with a dead battery for some time and I decided to revive it. I checked both batteries and the light battery was like just a little below spec. Heck, why not replace both this time. I went to a shop and bought both batteries. The total for both batteries together came to almost 21$. Now, that makes it almost a throwaway watch when the batteries die. You can buy a nice new unscratched one for 21.95 after all! But the watch has it's appeal due to the very legible hands and dial for a quick glance. And light weight. There is a rubber O ring in the back to seal the metal cover thus water resistance. Good knockaround watch but like I said when batteries cost almost as much as a new one, I guess set it out for a garage sale and buy new.

I got one for a few years. Uses a small battery for the watch and a big battery for the light up dial. The big one will never go bad unless you are constantly pushing the light button but it is in the way when you need to change the small battery that runs it. It also suffers from that cheap watch issue of having a stem that is difficult to manipulate or get ahold of to set the time and date. Other than that it works well for daily wear.

@@TomSherwood-z5l I was wondering how long the CR1616 might last.

@TomSherwood-z5l Ай бұрын

@@DoctoredGinst Oh it def. will out last the small watch battery unless like I said, you are dark checking 100 times a day. The PITA is unclipping the cover on that battery to remove it and the spacer to get at the watch battery below. Not that bad but it may be confusing how to unclip the retainer for many people.

Just chanced upon this video which actually was a recommended video within KZbin... watching from England and think you have a very easy-to-watch humorous style. Really enjoyed it ... Good effort! Subbed.

I’ve had MANY Casios, and this is the first one that lasted only six months before I discarded it. For an outdoor watch, it just didn’t hold up. And it does wear considerably smaller than it’s advertised size of 40 mm.

@TomSherwood-z5l Ай бұрын

Quite big enough for a man unless you got that beeeg bulky watch fetish or something. I got an Italian watch that is damn near a pocket watch.

For $21 bucks Casio went the extra mile on that nice field watch. The value is incredible. If I watch a video, it gets a like. Someone put forth their time & energy to make the video you just enjoyed. The least you can do is hit the like button geeeeeez. 🤷🏽

Casio haven’t really made their mark in “Field styled watches” even though every G-Shock is an actual Field watch.. Wish this had been available in India !

@@sathishrao7926 it is a surprisingly-refreshing niche Casio product.

I saw both variants at Walmart a couple of days ago. My Casio MRW210H work watch is heavily worn, but keeps on ticking. I also have 2 more budget quartz watches, a Timex Expedition Scout and Tonnier field (Amazon) watch. I use my Timex Expedition during night time International flights. I use the Tonnier for weekend chores. My mechanicals field Seiko and Hamilton watches get light casual use. The Forester on that darker strap would be my pick if I didn't have my Timex. I have 7.5 inch wrist and prefer smaller watches. Smaller watches disappear on wrist. The velcro strap is easy to remove before going through airport security too.

@@onemph05 It is similar to the Expedition. Perhaps I’ll follow your lead and get an Expedition as well.

@DoctoredGinst the quartz movement does have a very noticeable ticking, that's often a negative about the Timex. The indiglo is helpful keeping track of time during night time international flights as a passenger. The finish is similar to bead blasted finish. No worries about scratching especially when removing backpack through airport security. The date window is very tiny and challenging to see. I would go with the Casio Forester if I need to replace it today.
