Casio Duro - the best bang for buck diver EVER!!!

[@jplesidan]

I have this in blue and i agree that this is really a reliable piece. I logged around 400 dives with my duro

[@jcbmax1]

Did you change its battery? How long does it last? Does it require gasket/seal change when you change the battery to keep the water resistance intact?

[@cartoonpete407]

Best comment!

[@dj3114]

I've had mine for three years. When working, I wore a dress watch and this at night and weekends. Now that I'm retired, the others are in a box and wear this exclusively. Really like it. Put a Barton band on it and love that.

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

Barton watch bands are great.

[@el_puma_real]

I appreciate the accuracy of the seconds hand. I’ve had far more expensive quartz watches in the past that struggle with the seconds hand missing the markers almost always. Nice review.

[@Danilo-qk2gw]

Man, I thought the same thing. I've seen Tag Heuers missing the marks. Duro is so cool

I’ve now got all 3. Blue looks good on a silicone BluShark strap

[@timtimecollector9808]

Bought mine for £44 on Amazon before all the older marlin versions disappear. Very comfortable to wear on my 7.2" wrist. Thin and light weight makes it feel smaller than the dimensions would suggest. Very nicely made too👍

[@jimmydishkawnt]

Sweeping seconds would make this watch a killer. casio made some quartz analog watches with sweeping seconds

[@BenjButtons]

What ?

[@mrbud8524]

As a Rolex Sports models collector l purchased this watch great looking watch for your buck 👍

[@macstone9719]

One of my favorite daily wears. I have got the all silver.

[@HK-qj4im]

What a workhorse. I think it's stylish too. Someone suggested putting a SS band on it to make it look expensive. 🤔 Quality never goes outta style.

[@doxasmenos]

i love mine i bought it on sale om amazon for $47 7 months a go and i enjoy wearing this more then other lot more expensive watches i have!

[@marinnn1234]

Have a regular version for couple of years, strap is worn out, now I wear it on NATO straps, looks excellent. Only issue with watch is that I am looking to buy mechanical watch but have trouble finding one that looks better and fits better on my wrist than the Casio.

[@albertomolina3868]

Very good video. I have the black, black and gold, and blue. I love them all but the blue is so sharp! The black and gold is also pretty sharp but again they're all great colors just a matter of preference.

[@alanaliyev456GT]

i had lot of chance to found a 106 blue in March 2024 (Genuine..and shiny ,).. i own 107 in black (60$). beautiful but withouth fish....it lake. all blue and gold bezel in mdv 106 (with fish) is a collector now... i m happy to found it for 80$. Lonely difference is fish printed in dial and grooved on back

[@DUZCO10]

Love these duros. I alternate the gold, black, and blue daily

[@justinw2232]

Superb 👍🏻

[@jeffj318]

That's a good way to do it.

[@spankyharland9845]

I have the Casio Lineage watch which is solar powered and radio controlled calibrated, so this watch is showing the most accurate time. I calibrate my two Duro Marlins off it and so far, the Duro's have been just as accurate without being radio calibrated. With the correct metal bracelet, these Duro's look very expensive. I also placed glass protectors on the crystals of my Duro's since they are just made of mineral glass crystals. I enjoy both Duro's - stylish, accurate and affordable.

[@elecaire9094]

Do you have a glass protector brand you prefer? I'm in the market.

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

​@@elecaire9094I know one on Amazon.

[@AliasEveWatches]

This is the diver that I should have bought, good value for money. I like this two-tone variant.

[@MyEnemy]

What watch did you buy?

[@AliasEveWatches]

@@MyEnemy Several $300~ automatic dive watches (that I didn't really need because I don't go diving or swimming) 🙈 I should have gotten 1 basic quartz dive watch and spend the rest of my money on nice dress watches.

[@MyEnemy]

@@AliasEveWatches I hear you. I'm driving myself crazy looking at a million different dive watches, meanwhile I've never been deeper than 12 feet. I should just get the Casio and spread all the money I save, elsewhere on my collection.

[@MyCvid]

Got the blue version and put it on a decent (better) blue rubber strap. Wish it was 40mm, but loving it just the same. It’s a long term keeper.

[@johnsmith-gs4qf]

I have a couple more expensive diver watches, but I actually usually prefer wearing my Casio Duro! It is comfortable, easy to read, and tough! I would like a sapphire crystal, but that's not reasonable for the low price!

[@billkallas1762]

I just bought a "gold" Duro, two days ago from Amazon ($40). I'm going to change the strap to a "Bond" NATO strap. I have a 7-5/8" wrist, so the watch fits just fine.

[@SpencerPhotography]

[@mrbacchus6127]

I've always liked this Casio but never bought because it may steal wrist time from my other divers lol. For truly beater situations I'd just grab a Gshock. Still may buy because they are so cheap.

[@jstrat121]

I own 7 of these(including the blue and gold ones) would Casio please tell all othe quartz watch makers how to make the seconds hand “ hit the marks”? All of mine hit perfectly........cant say the same for other more expensive quartz I own......

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

My Citizen Skyhawk has no issue, and it's 13× more expensive than the Duro. Which expensive Quartz watches do you have with this issue?

​@@StardustLegacyFighterfor that price it better

[@aldoabad]

My deal breaker, 3y battery life: Its module inside is so small that ~50% is empty, there's enough space for a bigger battery, smaller Casios have 10 years battery, I agree that Duro should be smaller.

[@onewheeldrone]

Lume doesn't last

[@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo]

It's a 5 minute battery replacement job?? Less annoying then to wind up a mechanical watch every time it dies on you ......

[@tronpig]

[@tarheelred]

*As a guy who’s worn mostly G-Shocks ,I don’t see how this model is too big. It’s not a Diesel or or one those sprawling Invictas. Sir Mix A Lot said it best: “I like big watches and I cannot lie…” 😊*

Would easily deceive an amateur watch enthusiast into thinking that this is a Rolex. Truly incredible watch, and definitely the best affordable analogue watch on the market. Casio doing what they do best.

[@jxpstfu2450]

They need to release a 40mm version. Still waiting after 2 years

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

Dive watches have always been big. Making them smaller will cramp up the dial.

[@TimeSpace1]

Really hoping for a 40mm

[@melvinationz]

I heard somewhere that the aluminium bezel isnt very strong and someday will get peeled off or color downgrading. Did someone have any experience with it and it is true or actually not that bad?

[@tomasinacovell4293]

Crap just for the shortened stem-tube treading, it will wear out the crown threading and fail in time, plus it's not going to seal because it can't compress against the crown's own seal.

[@ports660]

Can I actually use it when diving?

With that kind of price, i'll go for automatic dive watch - vostok amphibia. Changing battery of diver quartz twice a year may compromise watertightness features.

Changing battery is necessary once every 2-3 years and if you order a new o ring and change it with the battery the seal will be perfect again.
