In this Casio MDV-10 unboxing video, I take a first look at the new Casio MDV-10D dive watch, to see how it stacks up versus the original MDV-106 Duro. This Casio Duro 38mm watch is actually much smaller! Stay tuned for the review on Ben's Watch Club! This watch was purchased with my own money.

Casio would make a bazillion dollars if they would just release the duro in a 38-40mm size while keeping the 200m water resist. I just sold my 44mm euro yesterday because it's too big for me.

[@Aaron-p-q9b]

I think that s why a lot of people are buying brands like San Martin. Priced right with high end features and most are around 40mm.

[@dernayt2728]

they have such a model, it was something like mtp1053

[@juniordoido6025]

Verdade 40mm❤

[@doctoralgy8186]

42mm would have been awesome, even down to 40mm. I still love my 44mm Duro, works very well on my 6 3/4 in wrist. Yes, even for me 44mm is abit big but the lug 2 lug is what matters. As long as the lugs are well within the width of your wrist, wear any larger size watch that makes you happy. Don't let anyone downplay your personal tastes.

[@WatchRob]

I love the simplicity of the 44mm Duro, it’s just too damn big, and I have big wrist. Casio needs to release a true 40mm version with 20mm lug width and keep the 200m WR and screw crown. Also upgrade the lume and we have the best Quartz watch at $60.

[@seversum4713]

This would be the dream

[@sng2225]

And they need to keep the Marlin logo

[@datnguyen5463]

They can sell that ideal version at $125 and I will sure buy all the variations!

[@vilchesboss]

which wrist size do you think is ideal for a duro? mine is 18cm and I'm not sure about buying it...

[@captainzitrone]

The 50M WR is really sad to see

[@kevinc1001]

I know right 😢

[@noisepuppet]

I seriously thought this was going to be an obvious fake when I saw that.

[@artbanks27]

Not like anyone needs more.

[@chrisp.5272]

It’s a Casio so add 50m WR. Not bad for showering, swimming, snorkeling, ect.

[@bikeman123]

It's probably more waterproof than a Pagani with 200M on the dial.

My first time watching here at In The Loupe. I kept thinking, "Boy, this guy sounds almost exactly like Ben!" 😂

[@riccardoguareschi193]

I read the title and I was like "YES THIS IS IT!" then we go to the video and -oh my- was I disappointed! they totally messed it up...was it hard to make a Duro in 38-40mm (for real!) with 20mm lug width and 200m WR?! what's this?!?

[@jjsifo1]

This is ridiculous ,that's what it is.

[@MikeSmith-er1qs]

Go figure Casio would goon it up! All they had to do is size it down to 40 or 39…. That’s all Casio. Or put in sapphire for an extra $40. Imagine a $100 Duro with 200m, sapphire, and 40mm!!!!

[@meizuc9504]

It will be not original, btter buy homage than

[@MikeDixon-p5p]

39mm 👌

[@brainloop99]

I think they want you to buy Edifice instead. Casio reserves the upgrades for different product lines.

[@errogmh]

I'm very happy I can finally purchase a cheap small diver watch !

[@ailestriker9888]

A dive “style” watch technically

[@정제이슨-i1f]

I believe Casio WR 50m is special 😂😫😩

[@DialgaCZ]

its called baby duro rubber straps ver and also bracelet and batman has also a nato strap ver. But ur the first one to make a video about this ben keep things up

[@John..18]

The original was massive, this is minute,, hopefully they'll put out an in between version,, 🤞

[@simplewatchtalks]

Finally a Duro that can fit my tiny wrist 😂. That 15.5 bracelet is tricky to swap though…

[@PocketUau]

Great, now beyond the Seastar 36, we have another 36mm dive watch to enjoy!

[@acp02091]

Nice I like the quick looks at new watches. Great for a work break!

[@tacfoley4443]

44mm is my ideal size - I have many watches this size and some even bigger. This tiny watch, however, is a real looker, and needs some consideration.

[@tornagawn]

Oh dear! I’ll stick with my Blak original Duro….and the Gold trim one, and the Blue one….oh and the Pepsi bezel one. I love the original Duro..

[@esarempee]

I know its subjective but I think that watch looks perfect (size wise) for you, The other casio you were wearing looked huge.

[@HaonProductions]

Oh I forgot Casio includes the crown or crown guards in its measurements. Thanks for taking the hit for the rest of us but honestly, it doesn't look too bad on you. But as for a cheap beater diver, I managed to find a real unicorn: a 36.5mm Invicta Yachtmaster homage that actually has more WR than the real thing!

[@williamsipe1151]

You can't make a statement like that and not include the model number. 😊

[@HaonProductions]

@@williamsipe1151 36767 for blue, 36768 for rhodium!

[@yoyolifa]

Oh that's so stupid. We've been wanting for a smaller "duro" for ages now. a 40mm, 38mm even. Instead we get a 35mm watch, with 16m lug width and only 50m water resistant. Thanks for nothing 😢

[@psalm2forliberty577]

IKR !?! What is it that makes these Corporations SO Tone Deaf & Stupid that they can't have an "Product Development Engineer" watch say, the top couple dozen Duro videos from "We The Watch People" - to figure what we want, what will WILDLY SUCCEED ? But NOOOO they do not do this, they give us "what's easy to offer" & cheap to make. Casio, are YOU 🎧 listening ? This: -40mm case - 200 WR - strong stainless bracelet - sapphire crystal w/ date cyclops - various color ways - quartz movt (maybe offer an Automatic variant) Did I leave anything out ? Do THAT, raise the price to $80-ish and you'll sell a zillion WAAY more than your already dominant MDV-106 - which is hard to critique but can be improved upon as outlined ! Please thumbs up or add your comment !

[@unwokeneuropean3590]

The size is ok. Perfect for my wrist.

[@waynecoolkid]

15mm lug width? you kidding me? and holy shit does that bezel sound tinny, the backplay is INSANE.

[@justaguyyouknow7139]

If it had even 100m it would be okay. But I refuse do to 50m out of respect for the original

[@hennies9509]

I know for a fact that the solar watch is the size and depth rating you have there with a thinner strap as well and no fishy on watch as well.

[@hmApollo101]

God your voice sounds so relaxed in this channel compared to the regular one. I really am liking this format.

[@asmeetsingh5949]

the size is proportionate to your wrist and doesnt look awkward. Yes the lug width should have been atleast 18mm. Who makes all these decisions Or they just dont care what they are throwing in the market . So many people on the comments are talking about the 38-40mm size with 200mtrs. From where does the casio product team get the pulse of the market ? 5 people sitting a board room and deciding amongst themselves . Pretty crazy.

[@danieljones3683]

I was confused when I first clicked on this video. I thought "he sounds exactly like Ben from Ben's Watch Club" 😂 now I know. Interesting watch I know a lot of people have wanted a smaller Duro but I can't help but wonder if they went too small with this one.

[@cyrilleyong9615]

Wasn't aware he had an unboxing channel. Immediately thought "Hold on, this sounds like Ben"

[@joaofernandes1150]

It' s a fine size. With the right size, bigger watches 3:00 than that are just for rappers, flanboyant and suburbam people. People with class does not use the kitchen's wall watch.

[@SlapShotRegatta22]

Casio totally blew it. Everyone has already said it but I'll echo...40mm case, 20mm lugs, screw down crown and it would be perfection. Why, Casio!? WHY????

[@flossenking]

Casio doesn't specify case diameter, rather they measure right across the whole watch and the crown like you did. So the actual diameter will be 2 to 3 mm smaller than the specified case width. Same with my Casios. What's your wrist size anyway?

[@zillsburyy1]

wow they did it ben!

[@younusimam-thesalamproject6340]

Sad to see it doesnt have the build quality of the original. My brother still wears his daily!

[@seanparks1629]

They now need a “Goldilocks” Duro with a 40mm diameter. Preferably with the Marlin on the face again.

[@unwokeneuropean3590]

If you dont know 38mm divers are everywhere. Its the new fab, the return to the 1950s diver size.

[@juniordoido6025]

38mm❤ show

[@alexandru59139]

What is Casio even thinking with that 15.5 bracelet width and 50m WR?

[@In_The_Loupe]

Can't say I've ever seen 15.5mm lugs before myself, I'll double check before the review though to make sure!

[@Domingojazz]

I have the 107 and it's ok for me but I confess that I would buy immediately a 40 mm. version.

[@meandertaker]

I can finally buy my kids a proper alternative to a GShock!

[@pixsled]

I wouldn't call this an alternative to g shock

[@meandertaker]

@@pixsled For my kids who want to try a steel analog that will fit their wrists and not cost them a week’s allowance, then yes, it is an alternative to their GShock watches.

[@davidmccall4776]

The 40mm 1010 was the best. I can't understand why they discontinued it, and keep wondering if/when they'll reissue it. Soon I hope.

[@datnguyen5463]

I remember not buying it because the case is not stainless steel - copper if I am correct.

[@MrR2185]

Yes! That model is better looking than the duro and a reasonable size.....but a huge drawback of that 1010 is the case not being stainless steel.

[@davidmccall4776]

@@MrR2185 * Is that such a bad thing, for an everyday, knock-about, "beater" watch that costs less than 75.00? Personally, I don't think so. Cheers!

[@ricklynn6176]

@@manuelpiston you do realize that even 50 m water resistance isn’t even suitable for an hour in a swimming pool right? It’s not about going down to the advertise depth, it’s about how water resistant the case stays after being submerged for an allotted amount of time.

100m wr is good enough

For those diving chores like when I have to reach down to the bottom of the sink to get the last dish clean. 😉

very nice looking quartz diver style watch

[@gamerstar8311]

That's super interesting and cool, sad that we only have 50 meter water resistance

[@destroyerpl4yz]

My MDV 107D is 44mm, 200m WR and has a different bracelet. That tells me the watch in this video is either a female version, which iv never heard of, or it’s a fake…

[@TomasWatchReviews]

50m WR?? :) Well that is a fail.. Big one.

[@Kevinjimtheone]

I only had two thoughts: 1. This is 100% Ben, and 2. The bracelet size and water resistance are disappointing. Nevertheless, maybe there’s hope for a reissue of the original Marline, down the line.

Casio did dirty this time....50m instead of 100m, bracelet looks too thin for a men's wrist, wobbly bezel. Also, In India, it is priced more than the original 44mm. I had high hopes but it's total waste of money on this one.

[@MisterHughes]

I could stand the teeny-ness with a bigger lug width, 18mm would gave done, but this will need to be cheap, cheaper than the £99 UKP plus postage on the Bay. Nowhere else has them in the UK though, so some scalping going on while they still hard to get. Not as bad as a Tiffany brass-watch mind.

[@zman8340]

50 ? What a joke.

[@eurovnik]

Magnificent! I have long been looking for a good-looking quartz beater. This will hit the spot once it drops in price. I'm a fan of 32-34mm dress watches and 36-38mm chronos and am fed up with the being few viable options for good-looking beater watches in appropriate sizes.

[@watchalot919]

Buy a Rotary Henley GMT. A buy larger at 40mm, but is so much better than that.

[@eurovnik]

@@watchalot919 thanks for the suggestion. The Henley a nicely made, keenly priced watch but a bit too homage-y for my personal taste.

[@eurovnik]

@@ktakahara9145 In terms of mechanical chronos, vintage is the way to go for smaller sizes. You can pick up "neo-vintage" chronos from the 80s and 90s based on the ETA 7750 series. Sized at 37-38mm. I have a gold Eterna and steel Wyler Vetta. I reckon they're pretty good value - £300 for the steel one, £1800 for the gold one (melt value of the gold £1300). There also plenty of new Chinese chronos based on the Seagull "1963" movement in 38mm. Other options are things like the 38mm 70s Accurist Schockmaster chronograph which uses the Landeron 248 mechanical movement for around £200. That movement was also used in the "Chronographe Suisse" line of watches which are inexpensive and were often marketed under different names.

[@ilmarcorizzo]

Ben! It's real, not a Scameti!

[@renzosastrecarmenati476]

Oh! I thought the counter seconds was a chapter ring but I see none in this watch? Just part of the dial as opposed to only on chapter ring as promoted in the original design. That is something I liked about, because to me it completes the watch as it fills the metal circle around, what to me feels left and incomplete when non chapter ring is used. Do you know if there is the possibility of adding one? Also I pretend to put a domed glass on it so the face gets more bumpy and I am considering the day window amplifier as well... What do you think?

[@daniel2946]

There’s a lot of cons instead of pros. That is 50meter and a sad lug width
