Get an F105W from Casio. Basically the F91W with the Illuminator backlight instead of the dinky LED for just a few dollars more. Such a handy watch to have for days in just around the house or out on a walk.

Great point! I don’t have the F105 but you’re totally right, they look really similar. Probably will pick one up myself to add to the Casio collection at some point.

I'm intrigued to see what watches will be featured in this video for under $50. Finding affordable yet functional accessories can be a challenge, so this video is sure to be helpful for those on a budget. Whether you're a watch enthusiast or just looking for a reliable timepiece, this video is definitely worth checking out.

If you’re gonna spend a bit more money on a Casio, I suggest the GA2100 or the casioak. Great g shock for around $125-$150. Only problem I have is the curved band, but they use quick release pins, so changing the band is super easy.

Casio is great, but you need to check the Seiko 5 veriant. I had my Seiko 5 (SNK803-37mm-cream dial), put a leather strap and its looking good on my hand. The build quality is also great too, drop this watch more than i can remember and its hold like a tank

I've been collecting knives and other EDC gear for about a year now but have never really dabbled in watches. (I have been daily-ing a cheap little all plastic casio with a rubber strap that I bought while on vaction in Turkey 5 years ago because my previous watch broke mid trip. I'm not even sure if it's a genuine casio. My only other watch is a entry level Pulsar that I got as a birthday gift that I used to only wear occasionally but have now started to wear daily more often to look a bit classier.) Anyway, your videos introduced me to the world of budget friendly watches like the ones shown here and I have a Casio CA53W in green on the way that I bought myself as a Christmas gift! Thanks for making me aware of these epic watches.

Perfect video! I just recently bought my first watch in an Orient RA-AR0005Y10B. I love it but wanted another watch to swap between while I save up for a Tissot PRX. I think I’m going for the Casio Illuminthingy, looks really classic. Thank you!!

I feel the Duro and DW5600 are must haves in this list. Great diver and Gshock which offer more diversity than the 5 listed (I know you honorable mentioned the Gshock since it’s redundant to the 5610 but it still is one of the best watches under $50)
@joshfenn Жыл бұрын
The duro isn’t really my style but I’ve heard great things about it! I’ll have to check it out soon. The dw5600 probably would have been in the official list if the msrp was $50 or less, but pricing bumped it out when recorded. Great pickup though that’s usually right around the $50 limit most of the time.

I have an A168 as a “home” watch, and now I’m thinking of the World Time for forest walks. Was thinking of G-Shocks but I’m not really sure it’s my thing. World Time looks really cool! Might be too large for my wrist though…

The world time would be great for that! I’ve worn it out on the trail backpacking for hundreds of miles and always enjoyed it. It’s almost like a ‘g-shock light’ in a sense too, could give you a feel for that type of watch without having to spend too much.
