Agreed. Its more personal, more useful and interesting than pure "technical description" reviews.

[@CKT1138]

A comment on the water resistance of the F-91w: I have tested all of my Casio watches in a pool for an extensive period (an F-91w, an F-84w, a CA-53w, and an A700), and ALL OF THEM as it turns out are waterproof, not just splash resistant. They all functioned submerged without trouble, and even operation of the pushers (against Casio's recommendation) caused no trouble. I even did a math equation on the CA-53w while underwater! Casio is notorious for under rating their aquatic performance.

[@lobsterbark]

I imagine this is because the buttons can wear out and lose their waterproofness. If you use the buttons a lot there would be the risk that could happen. Japanese companies tend to be very careful about making promises if they can be false under somewhat unlikely circumstances. Even if those promises would be true 99% of the time.

[@introsriffssolos6975]

Some youtube reviewer said that the F-91w takes showers without any issue.

[@mariomendez7727]

I do spearfishing and use my f91w all the time been using it for like 4 years.

[@drfat]

It's nice to see that after quite some years with heavy uses, the silver paint on plastic case still hold up without any noticeable scratch. Impressive.

[@StorminNorvin]

This watch also allows you to set 4 time zones. You can hit just the SEARCH button to cycle through the 4 time zones. You can make any of them the main time zone by pressing the ADJUST and LIGHT buttons at the same time. This is a VERY NICE feature for a travel watch.

[@Alias_Anybody]

It's almost a pity that your uploads are so few and far between. The presentation is stellar and you may have the best general taste of any and all watch channels. Btw. my World Time runs +/-1 second per month so I'd still cry for that thing. Could be stranded on an island for 5 years and would still be more punctual than a Swiss watchmaker.

[@dcjr1053]

Yesterday I picked one up on clearance at a big box store for $7. I was going to clean them out, but I saw a couple kids looking at them as well, so I left a few for them. I've got a decent (14) collection of G-Shocks, an Oceanus T-2610, and a variety of of other Casio's. So I am a bit of a Casio fan, but this one somehow slipped under my radar. I am really liking this watch. It's very legible and comfortable. And it just looks really cool.

Just watched the video wearing my Casio Royale World Timer (All black 🖤). I recently took a road trip on my motorcycle and took 4 of my watches with me (Orient Ray 2, Bambino V2, Seiko SRPE43 and Casio Royale World Timer). I spent so much time worrying about the safety of my watches that I couldn't enjoy most of it. I made a mistake. Silver lining? I wore the Casio the most. I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said. This is a great travel watch. Thank you for your amazing content. I don't miss a video that you publish. I have a request that you make a video of your travels. I'm sure people would love it.

[@professionalvr]

I'm currently wearing a Casio AE -1200 WHD on my wrist . I haven't tested it on trips abroad yet, but I'll give it a try on my trip to Pitești in the end of March.

[@asyrafmus]

this is exactly why I purchased this Casio Royale. It is my travel partner. love your reviews and thanks for the informative contents.

[@adsagp]

Thanks for your review. I ended up getting this same model with the bracelet. I like it, have done a small mod to remove the "world time and illuminator" from the bezel, did it with a rubber eraser, looks a bit more classy now. I think I'll remove the module and take the "10 Year Battery and 5 Alarms" off to the make it less cluttered. I bought a screen protector with it. It doesn't really pill my arm hairs like I expected it to. The functions are great, I use all.of them. I'm happy with this purchase. Your review helped me decide to get it, thanks.

[@bestopinion9257]

I have only four reasons: Cheap (easy to replace). Timer (I use it a lot in my work). 10 atm water resist 10 years battery (no need to open the watch "ever" so the water resist is also at least 10 years).

[@wukket]

My grandpa got me this watch when it came out in 2012 so I could keep track of the time as a new freshman in high school. I never really wore it, I wasn’t into watches at the time. So of course, I lost it pretty quickly. Fast forward to 2023 and I see one of my coworkers wearing the exact same watch. “Oh yeah I’ve had mine since sophomore year of high school, 2012. Best watch ever. I just got a new one this morning lol I plan to mod tf out of it. So crazy how I treated this diamond like a piece of coal. I’ve caught the watch bug BAD. So far all I have are Casios, and I don’t really feel like I’ll need anything else.

[@lulul]

The world time function also has a quick swap function to change between the world time (the timezone you are traveling to) and the home time (press both top buttons at the same time when on the desired time zone) and also has quick access to the 4 configurable timezones accessible with the lower right button when in time mode.. These are both very usefull when traveling (especially for those who travel frequently between the same timezones)..

[@PsychoCPU]

An excellent alternative if you want the 91w form factor but want to look less like a bad guy is the A168. Still $20 or less, stainless steel band, it's slightly larger and features an electroluminescent backlight.

[@milleraaron066]

It's absolutely great, unorthodox, useful, and cool watch. I have several watches like Tissots, Citizens, etc. and all black version of this model. Suprisingly, when I wear this one, it grabs people's attention rather than my swiss made watches

[@victorcreed8856]

The Casio DW-291 is my designated travel watch over the AE-1200, for one reason - the 200m water resistance. Otherwise, it does everything the AE1200 does. The Casio Royale is still pretty great. I plan on modding mine to a steel case/sapphire crystal.

[@geraudlabellie8133]

Thank you for the interesting review, couldn't agree more as I personally use one as a tool watch being a cabin crew. One of the pilots had one too on my last flight which goes to show it is appreciated by all travelers and flight and cabin crews. One do it all watch that could be perfected if radio controlled and solar powered but it would probably kill the cost advantage and 10 year of battery life allows for a lot of travelling without caring too much about you battery dying.

[@jtmoore662]

I have a Citezen Eco Skyhawk and a Tissot Solar Touch. Both these watches are perfect for travel because it tracks time zones. You are right, if I were to travel to another country, I would rather wear this and lose or someone steal it, than one of the other two I have.

After nearly a year of hearing the hype about this watch from online watch communities, I finally purchased the Casio Royale. I have to say, I love it. It's aesthetically pleasing, and as someone who travels often, this watch is a must-have. Personally, I always travel with the Vostok Amphibia Scuba Dude. While that watch is affordable, the only downside is that if I were to lose it, it would be difficult to replace due to long shipping times from Russia to the EU. The Casio Royale, on the other hand, is easy to replace and also reasonably priced. Here's a fun fact about the James Bond connection with this watch: Roger Moore wore a Seiko in the film Octopussy, and the case and overall design of the Seiko are similar to the Casio Royale. I agree with the concept that if James Bond were a real-life secret agent, he would go for the Casio Royale over an Omega or Rolex.

[@zHumanfactor]

I really enjoyed your review. It was a change from other typical watch reviews which are all about the materials, movements, and size. Yours seemed to feature how the watch exists in the "environment", which was interesting. Though having said that, I would have liked to know a bit about the sizing, e.g., fit on the wrist (under a shirt), and the ability to see the display (Too small? or Large enough to see easily). But then that would be a typical review. :)

[@Baumeister40]

One concern you didn't seem to mention is the potential when hoisting shoulder straps over your shoulder, and other travel related activities, of snagging your watch and having the strap come loose, which usually leads to your watching hitting the floor hard, and maybe being lost. When I travel I wear an orange Seiko SKX-007 on a fabric NATO strap. That way if one pin gets bent and comes out of socket, the watch remains on my wrist. Regarding travelling with a watch-icon, I once greeted some hikers in the Great Smokey Mountain national park and noticed one of them, a senior citizen, had on a Rolex submariner. I mentioned it before our brief conversation ended. (I always take a break to talk to passersby on the trails). He said he wore it all the time, never took it off. It was a very expensive TOOL watch, and I guess he justified owning it by always wearing it. I was just a little surprised he didn't have a sacrificial watch to wear in the back-country like that. My tool-watch is a Hamilton Khaki.

[@dracamon]

Great video, thanks! I picked up one of these this week. After removing a lot of the text on the case and face plate, I really like it. FYI... the "Casio Royale" nickname comes from its resemblance to the Seiko G757 worn by Roger Moore in "Octopussy". 🙂 I'll also put a plug out there for the Casio AE-2100W. Exact same functions as the 1200, but round case, mineral crystal (instead of acrylic), and 200m water resistant.

[@WondersofWatchdom]
