Casio Just Made A Future Classic!

[@ramblin1209]

Me over here saying, "did that say Bluetooth? ". Interesting but I wish they would make more of these in full stainless steel.

[@casioak1683]

Yeah. Shame the body is made from plastic.

[@JasonRasmussen]

46 years old, I only wear Casio, I'm a tech professional and will never own a smart watch.

[@adisamma]

Well guess what?! Smartwatch won't wear you too!

[@thecountofgoldmoor1332]

Same here!

[@armandogomez2677]

They have a purpose as well why not have a little of everything

[@MOON-Hkr]

Yes, I'm a G-Shock lover and i do have some Casio vintage watches.

[@jannek5757]

Same on both from here, cheers!

[@pauloliver6813]

I love Casio, but I'm going to be a bit controversial- personally I think they are being more than a bit lazy with design and concepts etc. What will be the next great thing? Is it ok to just keep making endless g-shock and retro re-hashes?

[@ebob4177]

There's a channel named oldcasiocollector or something like that. Watching it, I'm just sad how much more fun Casio used to be.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

The majority of releases are a little dimmed down for sure but look at the design of the most popular watch ever created…. The Apple Watch. Youngsters are looking for simple minimalist design . We’re not! ;)

[@pauloliver6813]

@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR I take your point-a smartwatch or a phone can never be beaten in that sense- but just like Swatch re-invigorating things in the 80's, I'd love Casio to be creative with what can be done with a budget watch! (Easier said than done, I know!)

[@JerreMuesli]

At some point they start to look all the same to me. I own 2 Casio watches and honestly that is more than enough.

[@justinremple7986]

@@JerreMuesli Only 2!???!?? Oh man hahaha I feel like a hoarder now!! I wish I could decide on only 2 to keep but I struggle with that wants and needs thing like crazy 😂

[@bidhrohi12]

I can't wear most of the classic casios because my wrist is too big for them - I'm limited to g-shocks. This is absolutely PERFECT for me. And I love the no nonsense design elements that add interest without being toyish. Thanks for the review! Edit: I actually like the retro amber looking LED light. We have enough glowing screens in life, this touch of retro I just love. Maybe 2 lights like in the Casio Royale might've been nicer, but I'll still take this over a blue glowing screen.

[@deepakacharya4863]

About the time I was thinking of stop buying watches...comes your Casio video

[@wiimario]

Me too! 😂

[@dmks2146]

I picked up my f84 in a don quijote store in Tokyo. In the chewing gum section next to the cashier. They also carried Rolex, Omega, sex toys and potatoes.

[@vktravellog1242]

Sex toys 😂. Gotta love the real japanese hole 😂😂😂😂

[@garethsigrist8714]

I really like this one! Definitely cool to see Casio adding some additional features to their core range. I don’t need a step counter personally but it’s great to have that feature available for people who do want it but don’t want to go full smart watch/fitness tracker. I have an Edifice chronograph which doesn’t have any smart features but it does have Bluetooth and it’s great for making sure the time is always accurate and tracking multiple time zones. Another mega show MWC!

[@Jelloc]

Nice haircut Russell

[@user-wu2pg5zh2r]

Wow bro, that thumbnail is something else... I just picture KZbinr's taking picture after picture and being disappointed until they finally choose a terrible one a go with it. It's like its own form of art.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

The thumbnails all match the tone of the shows my friend AAAAND match the name of the channel! This one’s made up of 3 photos!

[@user-wu2pg5zh2r]

@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Just ribbing you man, it is pretty funny really. But you have to admit I have at least a small point there. XD

[@frumpypantz1635]

I think this one is a step in the right direction with the added newer features. But specifically looking at 2:26 in your side-by-side shot - Casio has to figure out how to get the new watches to look full dark and bold on the digits, and not partially greyed-out like so many of the newer ones look. Not sure if it's something to do with a change to the polarization film in the module or what, but come on - do better, Casio! This model is still not showing available in the US as of late August 2024.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Absolutely my friend! Thats the same with all new releases. Bit I. Everyday life it might not be noticeable but when your reviewing it and have to look at it face on, its very noticeable

[@ahmedmohsin3951]

9:55 The F-84W, when I wear it I can’t stop looking at it the whole day 😍.

[@nickbeech501]

I paid £55 (with a discount code) for my ABL-100 from the Casio UK website and received it last week and I love it! For me the A168 is too small but this is just that bit bigger to make it look alright on my wrist. I absolutely love the whole retro look but appreciate the tech too - I think the phone finder function in particular could be really useful for me.

[@kyledriscollmusic]

always remember the most important rule of watch collecting: Casios don't count, so if you have too many Casios, no you don't

[@namkhanngajato3911]

don't worry Casio will B count in every body's🤎💜💙🩵🧡❤️✌️

[@ConansEasyDadCarry]

Just got mine in today! Its the "classic" style ive been wanting, but an actual decent size for my large wrist! The Bluetooth functionality is awesome, and the step tracker really is a great bonus feature. Finally filled that "classic" niche ive been trying to fill!

[@coolerking7427]

I am glad they updated this.

[@ninjasrose1653]

I have seen this in the flesh, and it’s stunning! A guy at work bought it. I am VERY tempted!

[@Chris.Strange]

There's only one Casio I want. It's from the late 80s/early 90s and is the only watch I've ever owned that I don't have now. It's the Casio TS-100 and a new old stock one can be had for £330 on eBay. I can't justify spending that on a Casio no matter how much I want it. One in good nick for a reasonable price will turn up eventually.

[@dominiquebaldo9432]

I hate how Europe (not including UK) is always last for casio releases. Sometimes a particular model is sold-out before being released in Europe. "casio have released ..." welll probably in japan, US and UK, but not yet in France, Germany , ... it's very frustrating. Is there a Japan-Europe war that I'm not aware of ?

[@ge48421]

The US does not have it yet.

[@GM-ii8gs]

Ah yes, nice reminder of the recent heat wave that lasted 3 days.

[@TickSweep]

I love this! Casio is doing what it did back in the day with the sensors they use to have in the 80s and 90s. When we getting a tv remote reissue Casio that’s the question. Great show nice to be back watching Russ. Keep up the great work.

[@albertw1497]

I love Casio, I have several watches from this brand, the first one I bought in 1981 (Casio Universal calendar 79QS-39). This model is very nice with a large screen, a retro style and a nice bracelet. Casio recently introduced the nice step counter function in several watches in the low price range. I love the Casio corner! ❤️

[@tcwhite0104]

Can't ever stop buying Casio's... I find myself venturing out to stores even way out of town looking for great deals. Picked up two Casio AE1200WH Series watches one with the green map..GREAT VIDEO BY THE WAY!!

[@xBanana5]

About the water resistant. All these casio models say 30m, but from years of my own and others' experiences they can handle easily some light swimming and snorkeling. They are great in my opinion!

[@AguilaEmplumada]

truth I've swam in the ocean with my F91W. NEVER have I had even water vapor sneak in.

[@jordanmontoya7386]

Sticking with my full steel armitron

[@matthewscott3689]

I'd buy this if it was a stainless steel case, for a chrome plating over resin i'm really not interested in paying more than $30-$35. I'll gladly shell out money for a full stainless though, I bought the A1100 and it's only of my favorite watches. I really think Casio needs to start making more models in full stainless steel.

[@adisamma]

Story time! I have a great story about casio. I was driving thorugh the N67 down Altimburg, in between the bridge and the famous twin cliffs. A car was stopped in the side of the road. Inside the car? Gsry Oldman. Guessnwhich watch he was wearing?

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

That jubilee bracelet! OH NO IT'S SOOO PRETTY!

[@coolerking7427]

I don't want a damn smartwatch but this watch with step counter is perfect for me. Casio did a great thing updating this watch.

[@aerospace6631]

There is no question.This watch will be a future classic.These are the kind of watches that Casio have to realse.Casio mustnget into the war of the smart watches,Casio doesnt make smartwatches,Casio make watches,and this is the first watch in alot of years that introduce innovations and mke the fans feel that tjey are buying an incredible Casio.I hope Casio take this way in its next releases.

[@huwkelvinmorgan3575]

I am currently the proud owner of the Casio AE-1500WH also the Casio AE-1300WM I still think they are a brilliant budget watch

[@adk7962]

Super awesome. I may be wrong (or an idiot), but I don’t think they are selling in the U.S. yet. It’s not on the U.S. Casio website, and I can only find it for sale on eBay for $120 to $180! There are a few watch buyers here I think… come on Casio!

[@vw647]

Definitely overpriced for what it is.. in my honest opinion.

[@adk7962]

@@vw647 I think it’s not bad at MSRP (RRP) but not great either. But Casio knows their customers. Put out anything remotely cool, and we are lemmings off of a cliff…

Nice hair cut buddy. I swap between a Casio and my apple watch every few days. Cheers

[@stuartkuhan]

Can't wait for them to add step tracking to the metal illuminator W-218H-1AVCF (G-Shock killer pricing)

[@Luenebahn]

Thanks for the review. Still waiting for it to be released in Germany. A fully featured Data Bank with a schedule and alphanumeric keyboard together with the features of the ABL-100 would be amazing. An innovative Data Bank is overdue.

[@couldntthingofone269]

If only they'd make an F91w or a A168 that was solar powered. Now that would have me literally hurling physical dollar bills at my screen until I come back from the fugue state and remember that it's the future and you don't really use cash anymore.

[@horology_of_digital]

Awesome video my friend, and THANK YOU soo much for the Casio Corner Feature 🎉😄 you are a huge reason for me being into digitals, watching your videos always gets me in a greater mood when I'm down. Thank you again and I'm definitely picking this one up!

I feel much better about having 35ish watches knowing you have 70 Casios. lol

It hurts!!!

[@robertbeirne9813]

70 Casios, how many watches, total? It will make us all feel a little better.

[@sandylman8219]

I've kept my A168 in good nick by never wearing it! I bought one for the retro looks, but it's just too small. Might give one of these a go, but have no need for a step counter. That will be switched off straight away!

[@maxmixer]

Been wearing mine on and off for the last 2 weeks, nice watch :)

loving the new cut 😍

[@bbishop2009]

I like the fact that it will work with your phone. Ya know, until the app is no longer supported or available. Anyone remember the timex datalink and old computers with CRT monitors? Well they weren't old at the time of course. Be happy to wait a bit for the price tide to go down. I could control the size of the app fonts and let the watch follow along. Thank you for the review!

[@tdrawley]

Re the youngsters not being able to get enough of the retro Casio watches - So true! My kids love them.

[@user-lx7fj7rl3f]

I do like that function. Wife says no mo casio 😂

I want a DBC-611 with solar charging, atomic time sync, and 200m water resistance. Most comfortable watch ever made.

[@FullTekAuto]

Business up front with the A168, party in the back with the G-shock 5600

[@crazylousy]

Nice Retro summer hair!!! Yes, have to agree with you this module should be on a W-86 resin variant. Certain parts of the globe, Casio is promoting their resin model WS-B1000

Have they caught the bloke who cut your hair yet?

I would get so many of these retro rehashs if they only had a metal case, but I do a rough job and can't compromise on that! I have a a1100 I love it

Reminds me of my first Casio Marlin I had in the mid ‘80s. Unfortunately a thief stole it and other items from my truck one night.

Just got mine today in gold, I was wondering when you were going to pick up on these. Great video, as always 👍

[@singharjot86]

Recently went to buy one of the classics Casio digital watch but I was shocked to see the poor quality of the metal strap which wiggled like jelly.

[@HGSolberg]

Electroluminescence is great, but it does degrade over time, which an LED does not. Well, I mean, it might just stop working, but I assume these are so low wattage that it's not likely to ever happen.

[@markplayford5836]

Hey happy haircut Russell. ✂️

[@ifnyou]

If you want a resin version of this, take a look at the LWS-2200H.

[@fubaralakbar6800]

I have a DBC-610 that I would love to nominate for the Casio Corner, but it's in kind of poor condition. The module works just fine, but the case is scuffed pretty bad and the keypad is deteriorating. I plan to go on E-Bay and order another keypad.

[@robertbeirne9813]

That why it’s a beater !

[@heliopijpe]

And it also has a phone find function with a press of a button ;-) (automatic time, and alarm etc settings trough bluetooth pairing with the phone)

[@אלכסס-ח5ג]

Find the phone function is the only reason I want this watch 😄

[@fifthdimensional]

That's awesome. I want it now.

[@erosqing]

Nice review!!! Absolutely love it. Do you know when it land in Europe?!?

[@robingp]

Simple if you want to get a Casio: get a gwm 5610, it has got everything plus the retro look and the green backlight….

[@rollingstones911]

Did Michael J Fox wear that in back to the future?

[@BorAction]

No, he wore the Casio ca 53w (calculator watch)

[@GottaGeek]

Glad to hear the 70 on the Casios', I fell better now in having close to 80 watches in total.

If I want a Casio square with a step tracker, I’ll just slap on the GBD200. I don’t need Casio to upgrade the classic squares with step tracking.

[@CaptainA1015]

I recently picked up W86 since i heard they are going discontinued and love it

[@robertmckinlay7242]

Like that, it appeals to me more than the semi-smart G Shocks. A little sporty but not too much, much like myself.

[@LouisGiliberto]

This is a great module! It needs an SKXMOD upgrade to a metal case with sapphire. Might be hard to use metal with the bluetooth though - case will have to compensate.

[@AmeerKhan-gd7hw]

I agree with putting that module into the W86. That would be great!

I can’t be the only one who would have preferred if they didn’t make it bigger. Its not big by any means but I LOVE that casio watches are smaller.

That display looks somehow cleaner than other Casios (at least on Video). All in all: Very intrigued, but not yet available in Germany unfortunately.

higher water resistance and mip display, this is my dream complete

[@stu632]

It is pretty cool, I like the retro ones with some more tech, but not too much 🤭 Loving the annual trim 😃👍

[@bitterboar]

I’m excited about this one. I love the old A16 but it’s too small. And thanks, Russell, for giving the dimensions. I wasted 15 minutes of life the other day watching another channel for him to say “its bigger”. 🤦‍♂️

Oh I see you are stepping up on Retrosio again. :)

[@InSaiyan0ne]

It seems that Casio is aware of the mod that is out for their A168 and F91 that add an accelerometer and other features. They def added bluetooth to beat it though.

[@Carl-G]

I got one & I love it :P The only one annoying thing is the display isn't as good(at some angles) as the 80s/90s CASIO'S I have :( Why are some of their newer displays worse now for? I want to see the time at every angle :D It's not to bad tho(not as bad as the LF-20W-1AEF which is unfortunately worse) Oh well.

Has to be 50m in 2024! I can’t believe even Swiss manufacturers are making 30m WR pieces still.

[@RockyTheEater]

It would be fun if it can display chat notifications

I think this watch would be a better bargain without the Bluetooth step counter thing and knocking off a few bucks in the process while keeping the alarms, stopwatch functions, and bigger screen.

[@blackbirdpie217]

I'm afraid that being smaller than the W-217, It's still a little too small for me.

[@cyberapocalypse]

Still out of stock in the UK. Waiting for it come back and I'll snap it up.

[@oblivion_007]

Casio doesnt need to design new watches. They can just relaunch their old watches and still sell. Honestly, I am fed up with the new g shock, enticer, edifice series watches
