Humble, boring, cheap and devoid of imagination. Each to their own, but Casio are seriously overrated! Don’t get me wrong, my G-Shock is an excellent watch, but most Casios are not designed for anything other than basic functionality, putting it kindly.

I like that MWC refers to a particular resin as "supple and premium feeling". That means he gets it!

Thanks for the great video. Would love to see you do a video on an Oceanus Manta!

GM2100C for me has been the Casio of the year. Super comfortable. Field watch aesthetic with a legible positive LCD display. Canvas straps and a metal case. Also spot on with the 5040 40th Anniversary. It just ticks the right boxes.

Love the channel, keep doing your thing buddy! What a note book as well... Handbook of the Recently Deceased.

For those in the US, still 21.92 dollars: : ‎ WS-1200H-2AVCF. The Casio Fishing Watch. I noticed it for the first time on this channel. Even though I'm not a fisher, it just looked so cool/gimmicky. And I thought 22 dollars with taxes? Let's give it a try. One year later and I still love it. There's a pond at my place, and guess what: every time the watch says it's a good time to go fish, the fishing birds appear: egrets, herons etc... what a watch. It has a moon phase, a couple of alarms, dual time and a countdown and stopwatch. The countdown and stopwatch are animated with fish swimming around. And the backlight is nice and clear. So worth it!

I'm a 5610u fanboy, it does everything I want from a watch. PLUS even when I'm not wearing it, I use it to set my automatic watches as it's the most accurate watch due to its multi band 6 function and its ALWAYS on/working due to its Tough Solar. I can't live without my 5610u ❤ ... literally!

That A1100 is the best re-release Casio has come out with in years. I love it! Loved the comment: "This watch has more windows than a house.." 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m at the beginning & already cannot wait for the whole video! Love the energy!!!

Absolute banger of a show to carry us into the festering season! 😂❄☃I needed a good laugh. It's funny how Casio can be so on point with a release like the A1100 and then completely miss the mark with the h5600. Maybe the ;language barrier 😂 All the best to you and yours sir! ❤

I sold all my watches and hadn’t worn a watch in 10+ years. Then I walked by an A168W 2 months ago and had to buy it. Now my wife is concerned cause I keep buying more watches. I really like my W800H with negative display. 10 year battery, 100m water resistance, light works great and under $30.

Great video but disagree on the LF-20W - I really like it. You are right that the viewing angle could be better. But it's really comfortable, has great features for the price ( countdown timer, 5 alarms, world time) and personally I love how it looks. My other suggestion is the SGW100B - Incredible value and features and feels tough while cheaper than G Shocks. Available on import from USA.

Great review and advice for the Christmas Santa list On your next video would you be able to add the model numbers either in the description and in the video. I was wondering if you could make or (have you already) where to buy Casio's from here in the UK apart from the usual places

Thanks for this! Love your energy! ❤

MWC, love your show. However…..I was watching this show with my elementary aged son and my 7 year old daughter down the hall. You dropped the F bomb. Why? Your show is so good and funny to boot. You don’t need colorful cuss words to have a great show. When your kids get older…..maybe you will agree? Please remember young watch collectors are watching you too. Thanks!

I like my LF20W. The module has a lot of features, yes it could be more "retro" and I hope Casio make it someday with Stainless steel full case.

Great comparison. Unfortunately the A1100 cost around $250 AUD so it's too expensive here. I love any G-Shock, although I agree the weird coloured one is coloured weird. I also bought the "Tiffany Blue" and putting it on a beads of rice bracelet I have actually looks really nice and is very comfortable. There is also a PRXish MTP-B145D available in several colourways in stainless around the same price as the A1100. Lastly, you forgot to mention the cynical atrocity known as the mini Duro..

Are you MRW-200H ready? All day long!

I'm really impressed with the LWS2200H-4AV I got my daughter. Great size, display, LED light, 100M WR, and a step counter. The color is really cool, more toupe than pink. She's a lifeguard and enjoys tracking her steps at work (she gets between 15,000-20,000 in an eight-hour shift). She gets compliments on it all the time. One of Casio's more under-the-radar releases of 2023.

You made some good choices, got my Christmas order in early with the wife and a LCW-M100TSE-1AJF is on it's way from Japan.

I didnt want the heart rate GShock but did want the MIP screean, mineral and stainless bezel. Bought the much cheaper GBX100 which still has functions I dont need (tides?)... but the MIP screen is brilliant. Has an app link if you want to use it to set stuff

Absolutely spot on, matey!🙋‍♂️

TMWC I picked up an analog version of the Fish Gear in Olive drab. What an amazing piece! Super cool watch! You should review the ani-digi version as I found it more interesting and picked that one up. Love your show mate. Cheers from Canada!

Very nice pics! I love my G-Shock 5610U. It’s a great value!

AE 1200 is the cheapest watch I own, but it might be my favorite. I just got back to Arizona from Madrid. Having 4 time zones on an easily readable $20 watch that I don't care if I forget in a hotel room is awesome. I used to wonder why people would buy those SKXMOD metal kits to upgrade a $20 watch, but I get it now. The 1200 is a very cool watch which would be even better in a hefty metal case. Please keep the content coming. I find myself becoming more of a Casio nerd and enjoy your reviews of the humble but cool-ass brand.

Great show! My partner gives me a Casio for xmass as a tradition. Just have to show this video!

Always a good time! cheers!

Awesome show! Extra humorous, usual sharp editing, and sooooo informative! Thank you Russell!

Thanks my man you always put a smile on my face 👍

AE1200 was my first Casio watch. Now from there, there are many of the casios started coming up in my collection

Man you makes me laugh every single time. Your videos are awesome made and you have a huge artistic talent for sure ❤

GREAT show Russ! That A1100 is calling to me…

Thank you for great review ⚽️, like it a lot mister

AE1200 is definitely a gem. I have several, a few modded. I also bought one and took the band off and threw it in my "go bag". 10 year battery makes for a great emergency timepiece!

I really love my black GBD-200. It's my favorite beater from my collection of 18 Casios. The MIP display is awesome and it feels perfect on my wrist. Would never trade it for the H5600.

I love the 1200 thats in my watch roll (working away) with my modded 2100 and a Laco automatic Flieger Have you had a casio AQ-800EC-2AEF (the Analog/digital teal dial stainless steel watch)? £34.99 in Argos at the mo although its listed as a ladies watch and a mens one on Amazon???

Great video as always .my daily beater is a GW-M5610-1ER bulletproof watch .But You still cannot beat a Casio Duro (Marlin) Just a special watch at a great price. have 2 by the way 😁

I love your videos I really enjoyed them ❤️

Managed to get an A1100, I agree what a stunner, I can't resist a metal Casio. I got the white LF20 however & I really like it, it makes me feel like I'm in Space 1999 every time I tell the time.

(a great line) "You haven't bought this have you?" Where have I heard that before?

I just got my first casio watch (W59) and now I fell in love with this brand.

Well I did it. Followed the link... And ordered... AE1200. It's gonna be amazing I know it

I have the white dial version of that MTP. The fluted bezel and gold-colored roman numbers really make it feel like a timeless classic.

I'd completely missed the A1100. I'm in love! Must have.

Saw one of those MIP squares with the metal bezal in H.Samuels for £229 the other day but still waiting for that basic Tough Solar version to arrive! As for the pop off case I would defo loose it

I own the DW-H5600 and it is, by far, my favourite watch for exacty the reasons you dislike it :D It is tracking my heart rate while doing sports which is essential as i often tend do overdo it and unlike a lot of other smart watches, this is insanely accurate and actually gives me warnings _before_ i notice i overdone it myself! (What point does an heart rate alarm make that goes off minutes after you entered the limited zone). It has the by far best sleep monitoring of every smartwatch i have ever seen, all my notifications (including vibrations) are turned off on the smartphone, i get everything to the watch. It remins me of my steps. It tracks the route when i go walking or hiking and because it uses the GPS of the smartphone, i don't have to wait 5 minutes for the watch to catch GPS until i can go walking. It doesn't have a touch screen which is a big plus for me as those things get smudged in minutes, especially when you're doing sports. And then you have the hassle of handling a smudged touchscreen with maybe slightly sweaty fingers while training which can often lead to frustration. I can always see the time, without doing some trickster movements, while doing sports. Especially on an home trainer (these bikes that don't move), or even a real bike, you're hand is in an position where most smartwatches turn off and don't easily awake as you're hand is constantly in the "im watching it" position. It is actually durable! The battery consumption during tranings is insanely low, especially when going hiking. If you do an 5 hour trip, the battery consumption is almost the same as when doing nothing. A lot of smartwatches need to be charged instantly after an 5 hour trip while the Casio still goes strong for the whole week afterwards. The DW-H5600 might not be interesting for watch collectors, but it does an excellent job for the people who it is made for, people doing sports who want an smartwatch that can actually support them doing so. And it is significantly more comfortable and better fitting than an traditional smartwatch. So from Smartwatch Standards, the comfort is perfect.

About the H5600: I do like HRM functions in a watch, but then again: I have a Garmin Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar. And basically every Garmin, Polar or Suunto will outperform the H5600 in HRM functions. So I do agree the DW-5040 and GW-5000(U) are much better options. The DW-5040 actually must be about the most beautiful square Casio ever produced. Even previous anniversary editions were not this cool.

Completely agree about a1100 and ae1200 but instead of gw5000u i would recommend g5600ue because they are much cheaper. By buying gw5000u you paying almost 3 times more just to have multi band 6 which is great to have but unfortunately it's not not for everyone cause it doesn't work if you live in big cities like New York

LF20W Casio POP completely disagree with you. Love everything about the POP, no faults seriously. The band is the most comfortable rubber Casio strap I have used, form fitting and light. I love Nato though so put it on a 16mm to 20mm band adaptor and threw a Bright Orange Nato strap and am in heaven. Nato is so comfortable and it wears at an angle so helps with readability. The analog dial is comprehensible at a glance unlike on the Casino AE1200WH which I always really don't understand the love for. Went from Eastern US to LA, finally Hawaii with the POP and it the multiple time zones available were extremely useful. Took a Daytona too and actually used that only one night out. The Casio was such a great companion swimming and even surfing couldn't believe it! Casio is God Teir.

What are your opinions of the Casio TRT_110H? (The green one!)

Have you tried reviewing the Casio DB-36. It's an awesome watch with everything you'd need with an impossibly long battery life.

Just treated myself to a GWG-2000 carbon, very happy with it, still love my GA-900 for work

Nice episode!

I just got casio ae1200. Didnt regret it. Its good looking watch, value for money. Pretty excited

in the beginnung i didnt like the lf20 as well, but i just changed the strap, and now it has become my daily favorite!

Just love your OTT vids and the passion you show for watches in general (and Casios in particular, they ain't in the 'god tier' for nothing!). Of the models you review today, the 5000U and DW5040 would be my picks. However, I have a few square casios, so these probably won't make it onto my wrist as they don't bring anything new to my 'table'. What really impresses me about non-digital Casios with seconds hands is they they all hit the seconds markers, regardless of price. Something my GROSSLY OVERPRICED and OVERRATED Tag Heuer Formula 1 quartz fails miserably to do consistently (it also has a $1 pressed metal clasp!!!). One of my most favourite Casios is the lime green GBD200, the screen is incredibly easy to read. Unfortunately, the advertising material for this model usually show the ludicrous 'tide levels 'screen, which does this watch a great disservice. Keep up the great work........BTW I am in awe of your wig! It makes you look kind of mad.......in a 'professorly' way. Cheers from NZ.

I’m a little disappointed that you didn’t recommend the GBD 200 which I think is the ideal fitness watch for older G-Shock collectors. It gives you everything you need and nothing you don’t including that annoying heart rate paw on the back. It also has the MIP display.

There is a Casio watch I'm not sure you are aware of. The AE-1500WH-8BVEF. If you like it I was wondering if you would consider reviewing it?

Does the 40th anniversary model have better viewing angles than the 5000u? Just got a 5000u and I think it’s great except sometimes I have trouble reading the time from certain angles. I’ve heard the solar models can make this worse? Wondering if that’s true and if the 40th is better

@CarlMac

7 ай бұрын

Hi I’ve got both and can confirm the side viewing angles are quite poor on the 5040 too. It’s the same display as the lead in 5600e but with a gold mesh over the LCD (and amended to fit screwback vs backplate). The 5040 numerals fade out when viewing from side angles, unlike the 5000 solar square which just shows the 88:88:88. They’re both absolutely beautiful watches but the display on both is poor when viewed side on compared to my original 5600c. One positive in the 5040’s favour is that the buttons are significantly easier to operate than the 5000u.
