Yes. I went through an old box of LCD watches. There were 5 and all of the bands had decomposed. 3 were dead - all no name $10 Walmart watches I wore at work. Two were alive and well despite the bands being in pieces...both Casio. I had 2 bands that fit so I replaced them. Wore one while mowing my grass. Excellent!

Watching this review reminded me of my Duro which hasn't been worn for awhile. Uncased it and when I did a time check I was amazed to see it was spot on. Remembered that it was part of a Casio group time check and looked at the picture's date. Wow, it was last set on Jan 9th 2024 and still good to the second.

[@johnsmith-gs4qf]

Casios are great! I have a Duro and I love it (the only con for me is that it scratches fairly easily). My favorite Casio beater watch is the Casio Men's Tough Solar AQ-S810W-1AVCF (under $35 and more reliable than many of my fancier watches). Finally my favorite daily wear watch, the CASIO G-SHOCK GA-800.

Been looking for an inexpensive tough solar. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@lachlanbowden1323]

That last one is a surprise! Thank you!

[@edwardsjohnpaul]

I have 6 of these 10. The SGW-100 is underrated, the display is one of the best outside of MIPs. The Duro is in another league, getting a nice rubber strap and putting a domed sapphire crystal in it improves the quality 10-fold; similar with the Royale and an SKXMod case. I've never failed at cleaning up my DW5600 after working with cement or paint. Great list, great video!

[@pauloliver6813]

No list is complete without a W86 illuminator. Absolutely superb little beater with much better looks, size and backlight than the FW91.

Thanks for including the WS-1700H! I didn’t know if it would make the cut given that it released earlier this year with a defective dual-time feature that Casio has since remedied. I have two of these now and they often push aside a GShock for wrist time. Comfortable and legible. Love it.

Love my Duro, it's been a daily for over 3 yrs(average size wrist). I'm VERY hard on watches, have NO scratches on the crystal. And I tend to bang mine almost daily on metal monos and shelving. A few scratches and a little ding on the aluminum insert, with minimal scratching on the case(hardly noticeable). I've spent more on straps then on the watch and Love it... Spends most of its time on a StrapCode 22mm Super-J Louis JUB Watch Band Straight End, 316L Stainless Steel Solid V-Clasp Button Double Lock. And while I know it wouldn't make this list I like the GBD-200... if only they came out with a solar version. Along that line I'd go G-Shock GWM5610(as it is Solar) which also doesn't make this list LOL

Great set of watches mentioned here. Really happy that i have the Duro, F91W and the MRW200H. Other casios that i own are the A168W, Gshock GA2100, Edifice EFV 100D (Black and White got both for around $50 each) and the Enticer 1381L. I believe that edifice range of casio watches doesn't gets the recognition they deserve.

[@beanboy89]

I own fifty percent of the watches on this list! Duro, Royale, DW5600E, MRW200H, and F91W.

[@ericanderson9706]

Very fun vid. Cheap Casios are the best. For a moment I thought you might not include my beloved F-91W but I'm happy to see I was wrong. I love its small size (have tiny wrists) but as I age and my eyes get worse I can imagine the W-217H getting more appealing. What I would really love would be for Casio to release a new version of the 80s AX-120 that I owned back in the day. I'm no longer a big ani-dig fan but it's just weird enough, especially the calendar bits, that I'd be willing to fork over some nostalgia dollars for a brand new (cheap) version.

[@stmille]

W93H is a total sleeper. I love Casio watches and have a pretty broad collection. On my 7.5" wrist I can get all the functions I want (dual time, stopwatch, countdown timer, alarms) at 0.05s/day accuracy and a sporty 36mm package for less than $25. I'm surprised it's not more popular than it is!

[@ffedurch]

I have both the DW-290 and the DW-291, as well as the AE1200 and the LF-20. Love the DWs

[@G-rig6969]

Great list Jody! All those are fun and cheap to start with but usually worth spending a bit more on other models and G-Shocks. Agree that the A158 should be on the list. All Oozing of 80s and 90s nostalgia (but just feel a bit too cheap). Recently picked up an A1000, worth the extra!

[@paulkukula6541]

A lot of fun. Gotta love Casios. Good stuff Jody.

[@NativeTexMexican]

The SGW-100 is an amazing watch for the money. 200m WR, mineral crystal, a great compass, a decent thermometer when used correctly, and every other function one would expect from most GShocks. If it had dual led backlights, It'd be perfect! But, You can't have everything.

[@Ess_Chalk]

A few alternatives: The A500WA or gold A500WGA are more formal-looking than the AE1200/AE1300 and if you prefer round watches, have a look at the AE1000 and AE1400. The AW-48 and AQ-230 are analogue predecessors to the LF20W and usually a bit cheaper too. The W218H looks like a more rugged version of the W217H and a cheaper alternative to the DW5600. The A168W looks same-same-but-different to the W217H. There are so many good cheap Casio watches - the MTPB140D looks pretty stylish, the A100W is quirky and fun and moving closer to A$100 on Amazon, the MTP1370L but especially the MTP1381L/MTP1381D are very good looking. With all these options, after watching this video... I bought a cheap W217HM-7B because I love the classic looks and it's such good value. BTW something to review on 01/04/2025, Casio still makes heaps of alarm clocks including analogue clocks 😁

7:54 Good one. I actually use my databank calculator for tallying up scores in board games and even payment reimbursements. It is actually better for the former use-case, as a proper calculator or smartphone/pocket-watch would get in the way of the game materials. 11:24 Having stopped collecting Casio watches for the moment, this one actually interested me, seeing it in a store. Maybe I'll pick one up, if I find a need for it, as my collection is based on utility first, style second. Honourable mention to the mod-able W-800H, I added a picture of his fur/scale-sona to the LCD, along with enabling the features as a gift to an online friend. Like the W-217H I find it rather unappealing due to the large crystal gap and unrefined LCD, but this is also what made said modification trivial to pull off.

No blue trim, just some yellow letters and yellow LED lights, I found it better proportioned and it was beautiful to me, 100m wr, but I lost it and I've never been able to find it again. I guess it's long discontinued since the early-mid 2000s but boy what I would give to find the reference again 💔

3:28 I'm a wearer and collector of the vintage style Casio watches. I've just bought the A500WEA rather than the Royale because I think it's a better size. The Royale is too big and bulbous for my liking. The A500WEA looks more stylish and grown-up, it's just more subtle. The Royale is venturing into G Shock territory and I'm not a G Shock guy. They're great watches but too loud and shouty for my taste. The A500WEA looks really good to my eyes. This is why I love Casio - dozens of styles and sizes to choose from.

[@Deadhansome]

During lock downs I seriously caught the Casio bug. (see what I did there😂). But yeah, I started with the Casio Royale then I just kept seeing all these lovely vintage reissues they were putting out. Then the missus got in on the act and she has pretty much every colour of the F91 and a couple of other classics. A lot of my collection is Casio. You just can't go wrong.
