The Best 10 Casios On A Budget For 2024!

[@ic5319]

I LOVE my Casio Royale! Great vacation watch, I program in the time zones and it's just a press of the button when I great off the plane. Plus it looks great, I love the retro-futuristic vibes, and the little world map is just cool! 🤩

I’m a simple man. When MWC posts, I click like immediately

[@albert09]

I Totally agree with you with the TRT-110h, AE1500h, AE-1200h, MRW-200h, DW290, DW5600 & W86. Excellent watches & I might get the CA-53 soon. I know that you have listed them before, but I also add the DW291h & DW6900. I would be cool that you wife could do her own favorite watches picks Cool Countdown.

[@nicholasleow4749]

I've had the AE 1500WH since it was released about 2 years ago. Love the design and big display.

@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR where did you get the wire guard on the? 218h

[@EffendiChung]

Out of 20 something casios I owned, I found myself returning to the AE 1300 and WS1600 the most. Feels just right on most occassions, and I'm a big sucker for those dot matrix displaying the day. W217 is going third on the rotation, mostly when I'm out for a dinner with the missus, when I just need a small simple and sleek watch to tell me time.

I’m a car body repairer/painter and the MRW-200 is my work watch, going to buy another as I’ve just spotted they’re £12 at Argos 👌

[@richardtwyning]

Excellent list Russell 👌 I paid £13.28 from Argos for my MRW-200H 😁 The Js and Ks adapters for the Casio Royale will fit it, but they cost more than the watch 😂 It had to be done so I could easily swap nato straps 😉

[@askari_jones]

That A1100 is definitely going on the acquisition list

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Twice!!!!

[@panosgoumas8870]

Greetings from Athens Greece. You sir are accountable for my latest GShock frenzy. Carry on regardless 🧐

[@adk7962]

Great list of course. That A1100 beckons to me at least once a week to purchase it. I saw someone put it on a dark tan leather strap, and it looks the business. Thanks!

[@lawrence-ec5dm]

MRW-200 I have 3 colours.great watch took all 3 to Thailand on holiday,couldn't decide with one so threw them all in the bag.

[@joeldfisher]

got an AEQ-110 the other day, looks like a G Shock with both analog and (albeit tiny) digital time, but it has a world timer, loomed hands and 3 alarms. Not to mention a stopwatch and countdown timer all for under £25. It also has space for storing 30 phone numbers (well somebody might do it). Trouble is, I want a G Shock now.

[@The_Reel_Tech]

You have to add a Duro to ANY top 10 budget Casio list.

[@rmd4209]

Casio is a brand that never disappoints. great durable and cheap watches. 😍😍 Keep it up!

[@alexivanov2891]

W-93H [Module 1949] was my occasional purchase 20 yrs ago. Since then, have used it at sea on backdeck, skiing, swimming etc. Has great features missing in most Casio today. 8:26 Stopwatch auto-start with 5 sec countdown beeps ? YES Timer with 0.1 sec resolution and progress beeps at lot of timemarks incl last 5 seconds ? YES 2:57 EL backlight ? YES Standard size case ? YES (G-SHOCKers would call it 'tiny', 'kids') INC/DEC values for any number settings ? YES (hello !!! cheap Casios !!!) 5 button ? YES The only model I could find today with absolutely same minimalistic still powerful functions is MWD-110H [Module 3517]. Compare to W-93H it has only one advantage 100m depth resistance compare to 50m. Drawbacks - LED backlight (not much used though). Bigger case.

[@danieljessberger1515]

My Favorite is the GW 5600 u i really like this Watch and feels very light on my wrist 😊

[@karlsenula9495]

Love the cardboard Casio storage box ... Almost as good as the display case.😂

[@RelouDave]

The only issue I have with the MWR200 is that it comes in several colors. Instead of having just 1 Casio to buy, I ended up with a case full of the same watch!

[@Dadication3]

Excellent list, no way to include them all, but my W800H daily shouldn’t be overlooked. The very legible negative display with green illuminator light is awesome. Also, strap habit Timex straps will fit the royale and a few other budget Casios.

[@valengreymoon5623]

They recently updated the DW-5600E to have the LED backlight.

[@annikinstarkiller600]

Would love to see a vid about vintage casios. Things like the CGW-50, W-520U, and W-36-1. Cheers!

[@dancarthen3634]

I love a good budget casio. I often use a pencil eraser to remove some text to clean up the bezel a little. The A500 is my current favorite budget model.

[@d.r.martin6301]

Not exactly on topic for this video, but... I have a couple of Casio analog watches that came with plastic bands. Nice watches, but the bands both failed within a couple of years; and replacement bands cost about a buck short of a new watch. Are the plastic bands on the Casios MWC is reviewing here more durable than that? I'm reluctant to buy any Casio with a plastic band.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

What watches were they my friend?

[@d.r.martin6301]

@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Actually the same model. Liked it, so I got another color. The MW-600.

[@waceembhat]

What is your opinion about Casio G-Shock 5600ue-1DR? Worth to buy or not?

[@coastercraziness]

I wasn’t honestly in love with the AE1200, but I bought it (couldn’t pass up on it for $11 at my local Walmart) and I LOVE it

[@benno_360]

I’m a massive fan of the SGW-100B. I really think you should review one on the channel. To me it’s a Gshock for people who don’t like stiff Gshock bands, or maybe it’s a poor man’s Protrek.. either way I would wear this over most of the more expensive models because it’s more comfortable and the right size for me. The watch has full electro lume, 200m water resist… and a compass. Honourable mentions: W800h - all that info! I use it as a work beater and I love having all that info accessed quickly. Was never a fan of broken up displays with windows and circles which seem kind of frivolous. I recently dug out my orange/black MW-240-4B which I feel is in the same family as the MRW200h. It’s nowhere near as robust with no protruding bezel but it just makes me smile and hits every single marker which is crazy for a quartz. It is, for me the definition of cheap and cheerful and has held up to a few heavy knocks.

[@garethsigrist8714]

Amazing list MWC! Any of these would be a fine addition to any collection. I’ve got 3 out of the 10 you listed in my 15 watch Casio collection. I need to up my game! 😂

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Cheers Gareth!!

[@Memmaao]

I have 4 from the list, and most of them are my favourites in my collection. A1100 is one of the best if not the BEST reissue ever made.

[@markkuzminski3922]

My favourite is my AE1200 with an upgraded case and crystal on a custom leather strap - not so budget but very cool... But a very close second is a CASIO that doesn't get much atention the AQ-S810W-1A3VDF. This tough solar ana-digi can be purchased for around AU$80. Come in a few colour variations but I love the gold tone accents on my version.

[@cadencramer2747]

Unfortunately the lugs on the AE1500 break pretty easily if you stress them too much. I was starting a chainsaw next to a work bench and brushed the watch against the bench by accident. The lugs on one side broke off the watch. Other than that though it’s an awesome watch if you need something cheap, easy to disinfect, and super fast to read.

[@MrPlauderkurt]

Can you make a video about Casio watches that can display time in the European way (DD/MM) instead of the "American"(MM/DD) way?

[@Sireth]

The TRT-110H is a beast of a watch that easily stands up with G-Shocks. My only complaint was the garbage plastic buckle it came with, so I replaced it with the metal buckle from my Duro strap.

[@BarnyardNewton]

My favorite below $100 Casio is the AQ-S810. Solar powered! Big legible dial. My favorite Casio over $100 is my ProTrek Safari PRG-600. Also Solar with a big legible dial. Super comfortable and feels just right on my 8” wrist. Probably wear this watch more than any…… Not exactly a new model. Came out in 2016? But you can still buy them new. Got mine at Costco!

[@michaele9705]

[@seandietz3211]

Show idea! How about vintage Casio models they haven’t yet brought back from the dead but absolutely should??

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

[@alajononon]

What got me into casios a few minths agoe was the royale. I just happened to need a cheapy to put on my wrist and they stacks of them on clearance for $3. I bought 10 lol. I recently graduated to a gbx-100 NS and tye MIP display has ruined me. But watching this makes me want to try some of the chrome ones. Especially that last one. Looks super retro futuristic.

[@SeasideBandit]

I love the look of the A1100. As a budget focussed person, this would be a dress watch I would want to own.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Cheers SB I agree!!!!!

[@markhondaturbo]

I just got the 218 for a work watch and i love it. Doesn't go as unnoticed as the f91w, but i like the bigger display and amber backlight. I really like that moonphase one with all the cool colored filters

[@loganholmberg2295]

My fav Casio at the moment is a casio gsteel GST-B300-1A. its originally a synthetic strap watch with a black bezzel and red seconds hand. I just put it on a steel bracelet from a similar model and I'm in love. The weight feels perfect and for an ani-dig gshock its surprisingly thin. I never thought I'd find a gshock I'd want to 24/7 like my titanium protreks but I do with this one now, I find it that comfortable. Now to save up for the highway robbery prices casio charges for combi bracelets. I want to put my green dialed PRW-61 protrek on a bracelet. Im just not a fan of how synthetic straps feel on my wrist.

[@thesolver1970]

thanks for this!! just ordered a WS1700h - hard to find in Oz - but found one for half price. Didn't know it existed. Needed a new tide watch and this one ticks the boxes - looks like a g-shock, looks like a casio royale, is black, the screen is readable and better than my AMW-710 which has a fake bezel!! It seems to be able to take a bull bar too! If only my GWG-1000 mudmaster also had a tide function, and moon phase..and rotating bezel..

I had an AE 1500. The time display is huge but I still couldn't read it in low light without my glasses. My bad. But I really didn't like that the time wasn't displayed while in stopwatch or count down timer modes. I gave it away and got the round version of the Casio Royale. I like that it has four alternative time zones.

Love a good Casio. I have 12 and counting. They're so addictive! You're right about the Casio Royale. I love mine and it was the watch that re-started my recent collection. Reminded me of my childhood. I've just bought an A168 with the gold, red and white fascia and it's so cool and retro. The missus just rolls her eyes now when I tell her I've got another one. 😂
