Haha. Was watching you do your thing with the screw down crown. That was funny. 😂

@@ayedee6681 hahaha, glad it was amusing for you, Aye Dee 😁👌

[@miguelruiz3860]

You seriously didn't know about screw down crowns? That is one of the things that makes this such a phenomenal watch at this price point. You typically see them on more expensive watches. This is also one on the reasons this watch has such a high water resistance. I own several Duros. I highly recommend this watch!

[@goatreviews]

100% serious. 🤣😅 I went in completely blind! Awesome! That makes a lot of sense, otherwise the water would get under the crown. Casio consistently offer exceptional value. 😎 Thanks for weighing in! 🙏

[@jorgeolguingarcia]

You got me laughing so hard I almost fell over my office chair. Should have known that it wasn't for nothing that you said "it's my first ever analog watch review". You live and you learn. Cheers GOAT!!! For me Analog always wins, but enjoy my digitals also.

[@goatreviews]

Hahaha, good on ya Jorge! 😂 No worries. I’m glad my predicament was entertaining for you! 😁 Exactly! I was genuinely going in blind. I love learning things first hand 🤩 Analog - noted. Thanks for weighing in!

[@Gigachad-hb7ji]

Great to see analogue Casio's being featured on the channel! Have fun with the Duro!

[@goatreviews]

There’s a first time for everything! Who knows if it will be the last 🧐 Thank you so much Gigachad! I certainly will 🤩

[@atticustezza9872]

That’s why I love your channel, it is honest and genuine, keep it up mate 👍

[@goatreviews]

I really appreciate that Atticus! 🙏 Gotta keep it 💯! It’s part of the reason I enjoy what im doing so much… Along with interacting with the awesome community like yourself! 😉

[@StumpkillerCP]

Glad you stumbled on the screw crown before breaking out the Vice Grips, duct tape, and WD-40. This (original Marlin logo version with gold-colored bezel rim) is my favorite watch. Super accurate. I did swap trhe band for a black stainless bracelet. I circulate three analog watches and don't care for digital: Hamilton Khaki King II black dial/stainless bracelet for EDW. Seiko Solar 100M (also black dial & stainless bracelet) for working around the hobby farm (12 years old so more scratches don't matter - excellent time accuracy at +2 seconds/mo). Casio Dura Marlin for wet work (with black S/S bracelet) for boating/sailing/kayaking/snorkeling/fishing/hunting. Just as accurate as the Seiko Solar. Nice, large hands and good lume for low-light.

[@goatreviews]

Hahaha, oh man... Can you imagine if I didn't figure it out? 🤣 Nice one - Amazing choice 🤩 Fair call! It's nice to have different watches for different situations. 👌 Thanks for sharing! 🙏

[@VadimAndreyev]

I prefer analog cause it's better visible at any angle and especially in low light. Watches with decent lume are legible all the time, no need to press a button.

[@goatreviews]

That’s some great reasoning, Vadim! 👌🧠 Another vote for Analog! Thanks for weighing in. 🙏

Ayer Recibí el Marlin Azul, estoy en un lejano país, con control cambiario, con una pension de solo 5 Dólares y quienes gobiernan son enemigos de Usa (Ellos, pero yo no) Recibí mi Casio MDV 106 Marlin via indirecta de Amazon y eso demuestra que Dios existe y es oidor de toda oración. Los relojes son una máquina que escudriñan el tiempo. Una obra de Arte de la ingeniería humana al ser preciso cuando mide el tiempo, son una joya de lujo atada a nuestras muñecas y también son maquinas, dichos relojes con vida propia esos relojes y sí no me creen escuche el Tic-Tac del segundero que es su corazón. El mío tiene vida y es de mi familia ahora. Un Marlin en la familia y buscare otros más. No hagas caso a los comentarios por la manera de acceder a la corona del reloj, es un Casio Duro y yo un nuevo suscriptor.

[@goatreviews]

¡Me alegra saber que ha llegado su hermoso Duro Marlin azul! ¡Qué agradecimiento tan profundo has compartido con nosotros! Muchas gracias por tu atento aporte, Gianni 🙏 ¡Bienvenido a la comunidad GOAT! 🤝

[@lulul]

the mdv106 with the marlin is not discontinued and the mdv 107 is not replacing it. the mdv106 can only be sold in north america probably because of how the licensing for the marlin was signed initially. they will continue to be sold there with the marlin logo and they even released new color variants of it after the mdv107 was introduced. the mdv 107 is sold outside of north america. also the mdv107 has a better dial with applied indices (instead of the pressed in of the duro´s) and has signifficantly better lume too. the other specs are the same apart from the missing marlin.

[@goatreviews]

Woah, this is a revelation! 🤯 That makes a lot of sense. That's awesome to hear Casio did make some improvements such as the lume, as this would definitely encourage some to prefer this model! Thank you for unveiling this information, Alex,. Much appreciated! 🙏

[@rsg5850]

Looks like you got screwed with screwin crown 😂

[@goatreviews]

Hahaha, I sure did, RSG! 😂🔩🙏

[@mrrbb2028]

It's a beautiful and great watch for the price, I prefer a mix from analog and digital. Like my mudmasters

[@goatreviews]

It sure is - you can really feel the quality as it’s on your wrist, right? It’s hard to believe the price point. 🤩 Interesting! A vote for “combination” of Analog and Digital. Noted! The Mudmasters are some dope looking watches 👌 Thanks for weighing in, Mr RBB 🙏

[@g_shock_macro]

Hilarious video mate 😂😂😂 This might be controversial, even as a G Shock enthusiast, I prefer analogue watches, the G Shock MTG line is my favourite 👌👌👌

[@goatreviews]

Thanks so much Macro! I’m delighted to hear that my genuine fumbling was entertaining for many 🤣🤣🤣 Another Analog! That’s a hot take. Now that you mention it, I can see that now though! G-Shocks make some incredible Analogs, and your work does show your true appreciation of them! 🤩👌 The MTG line looks very cool 😎

[@loukas2411]

Hahahahahahahahaha happened to me on the first time I got a screwed crown watch

[@goatreviews]

Haha, Cheers for making me feel better Kashimoto 🙏 I KNEW I couldn’t be the only one 😂

[@ender1077]

I honestly wasn't sure if you were doing a gag with the whole not knowing to unscrew the crown or not. If you really didn't know, don't take any crap from the watch snobs about it. Tell them there was a time they didn't know about it ether and we are all at different steps along our watch journey. Also, you're right the MDV106 is one to get. It has the Marlin as well as 200m WR, where as the newer versions are missing one or both. If the newer 38mm Duro (MDV-10-1A2V) had these two item, I would make the switch.

[@goatreviews]

Hahaha, I can see why you’d think it was a gag at first. All that was genuine confusion! 🥲 Thanks for the supportive words, Michael! 🙏 I agree. Have already copped some, but I was prepared for jt. 😁 Real ones know that’s just how it is the first time! Yep, I’m super happy with this choice over the other Duro options! 🤩 Thanks for weighing in. 🫡

[@deips74]

This video is proof that you didn't lie about never having an analog watch 😂

[@goatreviews]

Yes!! 🙌 Let it be known - You cannot fake my level of genuine incompetence with opening the crown! 🤣 I’m sure I’m not the only one though - the “unscrew the crown” step of the instructions manual should have been the very FIRST thing mentioned. Unfortunately, the manual is shared with MANY other watches, so is not specific! 🙄😅 At least it made for amusing content for some 😁

[@mikehawk4875]

Waiting for unboxing of AE-1500WHX-1AV

G’day Mike! No worries my friend - this has been noted. I’ll be sure to include it in an upcoming #WatchOfTheWeek poll for you 😉 Thanks for weighing in! 🙏

Marlin I still see the Marlin logo on them watches when I was looking at them on Amazon just today and yesterday

[@goatreviews]

Good stuff, Kennneth! 👌 Glad to hear the iconic Marlin isn’t quite extinct just yet 😉 Here’s to hoping the supply doesn’t dry up any time soon! 🤞🦈

[@Katzenkotze85]

😂😂😂... yeah, VERY FAULTY! 😅 This goddam crown!... Didn't they mention it NOWHERE in the manual? 😮

[@goatreviews]

Hahaha, I think my brain is faulty! 🤪 Nah so they did mention it in the manual, BUT it was all the way at the bottom, when clearly this should be the 'First Step', right?! Sadly, it's because Casio share's this one generic instruction manual between heaps of different models (that don't need to unscrew the crown), so probably didn't think it was important enough 😑

[@Katzenkotze85]

@@goatreviews btw, I can not really decide analog, or digital what's BETTER- because i LIKE and ADMIRE both styles for different reasons... 🕵️‍♂️ Analog is quicker to read - i like to wear them when i don't need the precision of seconds and milliseconds... aka free time... Digital/quarz/Multiband6 in combo is my daily go to when i need the security of exact time.... 👍😜

Hi Alan, the watch is genuine! 👌 I am more experienced with Digital Watches, and this was the first ever watch with a crown that I experienced. In fact, I own plenty of 200m Water Resistance watches that don’t have crowns at all 😁

[@philipwillingham5950]

Ouch... with a name as GOAT reviews you got whooped by the legendary Casio Duro's Screw down crown. Not trying to sound like a dick, but use google or do more research before uploading videos. There are too many videos of this watch and watch channels that are alot bigger, and a video like this could ruin your reputation (marketing/business standpoint). just fyi.

[@goatreviews]

Thanks for the honest feedback, Phil! It’s not like I edited and uploaded this video by mistake 😜 I made it clear that this was my first analog watch, going in completely blind. My intended audience is my community of positive, supportive viewers, who sincerely appreciate the authenticity of my videos - especially when I include my honest mistakes. This is evident in the comments of this video, as well as others on the channel. I’d rather not imitate other channels, as I’m sure you understand. Thanks for weighing in! 🙏

[@davidjuros3024]

I recently found your channel and that little mistake don't make think that your reputation could be affected. You are very nice with the feedback that you receive from your viewers, good job my friend.
