I got one last week and I have already gotten more compliments on it than any SEIKO or G-Shock I have. The dial is gorgeous at night.

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

It's actually one of the few watches that people have noticed. So yes I have to agree these are great & for the money if anyone wanted a watch for under 100 this is one of my first choices. Thanks for watching & taking the time to comment. 👍

[@JackSquat54]

I happened to run across this watch on a Walmart site about 4 years ago. I immediatly thought it was a good looking watch. I was surprised to see it was only $55 bucks. I thought is looked like a $300 watch. I just replaced both batterys today. The LED light has its own separate battery.

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

It is a very good looking watch I completely agree it does look more expensive than it actually is. Thanks for watching.

Finally, a watch reviewer who says indices instead of indexes. Thank you.

🤣 haha thank you for watching.👍

[@AvgJoeWatchReviews]

It’s a beauty. Loving the Seamaster hands. Looks like a quality piece. It’s a bigger watch for sure. Nice review mate.

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

Yes indeed a big watch but I'm good with that 😁 & for the price the quality is very impressive. Thanks for watching my friend🙏 its good to be back.

[@bunberrier]

I chose this over the Duro for the amazing illumination and a sort of higher quality look. Still love it and look forward to it coming up in rotation within my collection.

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

Yes that backlight on this one is fantastic. Glad you're enjoying your watch, thanks for watching.👍

I received this gift as a watch for Christmas back in 2019. I love it! It is also great with different straps, but keep in mind that if you will want 21mm straps. I found that out the hard way. 22mm are slightly too big and 20mm leaves a gap.

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

Good to hear you've had this one for a couple of years & you still love it. I have to say that this one has stayed in my collection as well far less well known than its Marlin cousin but I like that.thanks for watching.👍

[@adrianmark613]

No one will notice a 1mm gap

[@tonyphillips8726]

@@adrianmark613 it is good to know if you are trying to swap out the bracelet for one that doesn't rattle. You won't be able to fit a 22mm metal bracelet in there.

[@jerrybehr420]

Another solid Casio watch. Not sure if ive seen this one before. I love my Casio Duro. I changed the stock band with a stainless steel mesh bracelet. Looks and feels like a million bux.. I love Casio !

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

Yeah these casio's are great value, putting your duro on a mesh bracelet must lift an already cool watch up to a whole new level. 👍 Thanks for watching.

[@davidsparling3505]

Great watch, especially with the illumination feature. Just changed the main battery in mine. It has a separate larger 1616 battery for the light, but I haven’t used it that much so I didn’t replace that one.

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

Yep this is one of my favourite Casio's 👍 Thanks for watching.

[@erickamaka8282]

How long does it take until you replace the main battery? Can it last for 3+ years?

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

I would think somewhere from 2 to 3 years would be a fair expectation for the main battery, as for the one that does the light that will just depend on how much you use it. Thanks for watching

[@paddrivers]

I've just bought this watch as Im just getting into watches. It's heavier and larger than I Imagined. The price has gone up £10 since the video was made but I still think it's great value and I'm not sure about the strap so will probably change to a nato as suggested. Spot on review and subscibed 👍

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

These are a great watch to add to any collection, & they are real strap monsters so many options. Thanks for watching & for the sub.👍 Enjoy your collecting journey.

[@danielmelendez9943]

I owned the previous version casio mtd-110 illuminator, bought it in summer of 2017 because it was $43 from amazon. I collect watches and while i own Rolex GMT II coke dial, Sinn U- T-SDR, Omega Seamaster quartz and my casio, i love my iluminator. I am thinking of gifting one to my brother for xmas.

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

Hiya mate, thanks for dropping by 😊 yeah you're right there is no such thing as too many!!! 😉

[@grahammitchell9415]

I got mine 4 years ago and thought it was a good looking watch. I replaced the bracelet with a brown leather strap which was much more comfortable and much lighter. Sadly the day date function has failed and is not cost effective to repair so I have replaced it with a Duro.

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

Shame about the day date fault, but the Duro was a good choice as a replacement.👍 Thanks for watching.

[@oklahomahank2378]

I found it a little big and heavy on the bracelet. I put it on a black leather Bund strap and it became much more comfortable.

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

That sounds like a great combo, I've found it to be a bit of a strap monster it works great on nato straps & silicone or rubber too. Thanks for watching & taking the time to share your thoughts. 👍

[@IBoughtAWatch]

Great looking watch, your right never heard of it but will keep it on the radar now!

Thanks for stopping by & checking out the video, you've got some interesting looking content on your channel I'll have a proper look over the weekend.

[@EmAreDayviss]

beautiful watch and good review. Perhaps your camera is having a hard time focusing on the watch because it is aiming the focus rearward because you have that minion figure and photo of people in the background there, and it looks like the camera is using strong face detection to prioritize focus.

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

Ah good point thank you for that, more recently I have tried to remember to set the autofocus in the centre rather than just letting the camera decide where to focus! We live & learn. 😊 Glad you enjoyed the review though thanks for watching.

[@JackSquat54]

My watch batt lasted about 4 years.

[@vinnyvincent2862]

Nice review 👍 just about to purchase one , I've always used a casio digital watch as I rely on their alarm function on a daily basis ! Does this one have alarm feature ? .

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

Thanks for watching. No there's no alarm on these. I think that of you wanted an analogue watch with an alarm & wanted to stick with a casio then you may need to get an Edifice ana/digi. Some of those have an alarm function

[@danielmelendez9943]

Seems like the mtd-110 is bo longer available abd the review of your iluminator which i seen in Amazon for about $110 may be coming to an end kf production, probaby a good time tk snatch one now. I had no idea that my iluminator has 2 batteries. One for the light and another to keep the watch running. Interesting design. The battery for the watch had to be changed after 2.5 yrs but the one for the light lasted 4yrs. Amazing performance from a time piece that seems to not get attention. The light on your casio is definitely an improvement over my model

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

Yes 2 batteries seems to be quite common in watches with either an analogue/digital display or those with back-lighting this one as I'm sure you noticed had 2 led lights hence the brightness. It will be a shame if they discontinue this one but I guess all things come to a conclusion eventually

Noob question here,...how long does the illuminator backlight typically last? Does it eventually burn out permanently?

Sorry for the late reply I didn't get a notification! I haven't had a back-light fail yet they tend to be LED's these days so will have a much longer lifespan. Thanks for the question.
