Greg buddy, I have to tell you, I've seen just a couple of your videos and I had to follow your channel, you are so good ad this! You are didactic, your speech is clear, you are able to communicate your message clearly... Keep it up man! Great work!

Another outstanding video, thanks Greg! I think I’ll pick this one up

Great review. Just scored this gem today at Walmart also for $21.00. Great for us!😁⌚

You have such an understated approach!

As ever with Casio great value.

Greg, Again concise and clear outstanding Thanks much

Based on your review and a couple of others, I picked up one of these on eBay. No good deals left at my local Walmarts. :-( It arrived today and I’m liking it a lot. Thank you for the solid review.

that peel was satisfying!! nice watch!

*Greg* : I'll bet my KZread viewers would love to have me review this watch. *Me* : Yes Greg. Yes I would love that, please and thank you.

You’re welcome. I will keep trying!

I have some nice watches but I still love Casio, I had several as a kid. This gives me Omega Planet Ocean vibes, the 6, 12 and hour hand especially.

You can use those bezels the opposite way, too, as a countdown timer. If you want five minutes put the “55” at the minute hand.

Nice review. Thank you!

Nice watch very nice I love CASIO watches my favorite I love my CASIO watches I want this watch

just wished on this watch the hands were solid white as for me my eyesights not the best but my god the illuminator is amazing cracking time piece great review

Enjoyed your review as always.

Greg - Great video: really nicely presented. The 1079 is really a nice little goto in situations where you don't want to be nervous about banging a more $$$ timepiece around a little + when you know you'll need a watch in the dark. I must confess though, I'm really not a fan of the hands; I struggle at times to focus in on the time, as they tend to blend into the background too much for me. Question: Do you know if these hands are 120/70/20 & if anyone has ever changed them? I might actually like to try and do that. Thx!

I got the one with the metal bracelet for the same price. Gotta love Wal mart. I also got a G-Shock for $35.

Nice little score Greg.scooped up a GW-2310 for 19 bucks and a GW-M500B,which you have many of this specific model for 43.00,marked down from 95.00.great channel.😆😆😆

I love a good bargain!

I can't believe how good these MTD watches are.

That's a great bargain though I must say I'm trying to "go solar" as much as possible on the quartz front. Casio's advice on rolling the minute-hand backwards is to take up the mechanical slack in the gear-train so the hand starts moving immediately. I like the style of the video incidentally. Thanks for taking the time.

Casio makes a watch like this with solar power but it doesn’t have a rotating bezel or a Super Illuminator light. I may give it a try (but I doubt I’ll find it at such a big discount like I did with this one). It’s the model MTP-S110.

Thank you. Another good video.

Bought the same watch $40 best offer on eBay. Guess seller got it from Wal-mart:) Seems ok, dial ring is stiff & crown/winder the feel is it seems to have some kind of o-ring or seal on the stem. Seiko you move the minute hand backwards to set the time, takes the slack out of the gears.

Great looking watch

Hey Greg. I also been checking my walmart here in NC, and yes walmart will be revamping their Jewelry/Watch Department. I too picked up the MTD1079 with the Stainless Bracelet $21. In addition, I got the MDV106-1avtn, DURO/Marlin $13!!! I had gone to several Walmarts in my area, over a period of a month or so. One more... MTPSW300L-1TN this model has a sweep seconds hand!!!! $13. The 1079, has a great feel to it. I overlooked this one in the past, because of the numerals at 12-6 however after feeling the heft and balance the dail grew on me. I see that you are Casio fan, I grabbed these because I was eyeing the Duro and the SweepSecond hand for a while. I probably would not have gotten 1079 if it was the resin band. I was working for a BatteryPlus before virus, and a guy comes in wanting a new battery for this big Casio(?) I took a closer look, it was a Solar. Told him to stick it in the window. He said he got a garage sale and wanted to sell it. Turns out it was a Pathfinder 1100(?) So, $40 . I don't need anymore Casio... I really like the watch you showed when you were a Kid!! You should make it point to get it repaired. :-) Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Wanted to share my Walmart story with someone.

I saw the Duro/Marlin at Walmart yesterday marked down to $35 and I thought that wasn’t much of a discount but I decided to get it anyway. When they scanned it the price came up at $13.49... so, looks like I need to make another video tomorrow!

Good Video Good Value IDEAL - 3 rd LED at 9 OClock i have the Blue Ga100 - its OK buts Needs LUM on the Arms and Watch Face Also have the GW-3000m : Orange Strap and GW4000: Green Hands Black Steel Strap and Finally Mechanical Seiko sk007 Divers - Black Resin Strap Iffy on the Time

17:08 I believe that is for the second hand to properly align with the markers and to take up slack in the gear train.

Hi Greg and greetings from the UK. This looks an amazing watch and is great at the price you have paid for it. We don't have Walmart here but we do have the equivalent which is Asda which is part of Walmart so the same company in effect. Only the larger Asda stores sell watches so this might be harder to source. Casio are really bringing out some wonderful analogue watches and I recently bought one of the newer models from Amazon UK. The one I purchased is a classic style watch with Roman numerals with a 40mm case and has a day/date function and is 100M water resistance and is all stainless steel. I paid only £29.99 for the watch and the quality is better than some of my more expensive watches in my collection. The model number of the watch I purchased is:- MTP-1377D-1AVEF and it's definately worth a review if you come across one. I haven't checked what price it is on Amazon USA but it should be around the $20 to $25 price range I would imagine basing it on the UK price. Like you I set my time on my analogue watches in conjunction with my Casio 5610 or my atomic time Citizen Eco Drive watch. The accuracy of the Casio watch I have just purchased is excellent so far and is better than my Seiko watches Which run at plus or minus 3 to 4 seconds per month on average. Thank you for showing this watch and I enjoyed watching this review.

Thanks for watch-ing. I was not aware that Walmart went by another name in other countries and that’s a really, really cool fact to know. I will keep looking for bargain watches to review. When it comes to “cheap” Casios I find that the quality is great considering the price ranges and the features offered. I am considering getting a mechanical, automatic watch just because I’ve never had one before, however I’m concerned that I won’t be satisfied with the accuracy compared to quartz. (Also, it wouldn’t be a Casio!) We’ll see. If a bargain presents itself... I’m think of the old Monty Python bit. “Been shopping?” “No, been shopping.” “What’d you buy?” “A piston engine.” “What’d you buy that for?” “It was a bargain!”

@@GoodTimekeeper many thanks for replying. I have around 5 mechanical watches, not expensive ones though. I started out with the Seiko 5 and later addes another one to my collection which is what they call a racing dial on it. They are great watches for starting out but may be a bit small on your wrist size being around 36 to 38mm but the new Seiko 5 range of watches in the sport watches would probably be better if you like diver style watches. Orient is another brand to look at and they have a very wide range of affordable mechanical watches which have in house movements. I purchased an Orient Tristar watch three years ago online as there are no Orient dealerships here in the UK yet. I did contact Orient about this and they hope to market in the UK this year or early next year so hopefully will see them in the shops here. If you enjoy wearing a dive watch a very affordable one is the Invicta Pro Diver which has the Siko NH35A hand winding and hackable movement in them. You can probably get one on Amazon for around $100 US or less in a sale.. I have two of them in the black two tone version and the blue two tone. Excellent watches for the price and have good accuracy at around 3 to 4 seconds a day with my own watches straight out of the box. Some people hate the Invicta brand due to their RRP overpricing issues and large reductions they advertise, but don't be put off by this as the Pro Diver watches are really good for the price. Enjoy your mwchanical watch search there is a great choice of watches and brands out there.

@@GoodTimekeeper yes it is a really good watch for the price and being in the mid size at 40mm it is suitable for a person with a smaller size wrist or larger size wrist. Having a 200M water resistance is also very good, I have been in water with mine but not been properly diving with it and I have had no problem with mine. The Seiko movement is a very good one and accurate. The see through back is good also and some of the newest Seiko 5 watches in the 38mm sizes also have see through case backs but their movements are not hackable or hand winding unlike the Invicta Pro Divers. They would be great for you as a starter watch.

Good morning Greg! This is a lucky find my friend. This watch looks fantastic for the price you paid. Love the Indiglo function. I predict it will run well within the 20 sec. specifications. Just one question, how do you select a watch every morning? It is as hard for me, as it is for a woman selecting her shoes😊

I started organizing my watch cases in order to determine which watches I wear and in which order. That way they can each get their proper turn. But when I work certain jobs I have a couple of watches I usually wear which can withstand the most abuse and/or they already have a few scuffs and scratches.

a bit chunky,like a steel clock on the wrist,or no?

I just changed the batteries in mine. Not a big deal, it took about 2 minutes with a cheapo back remover tool. It was the second time I changed a watch battery in my life, so I am no expert.

Nice little watch. Casio just has it going on. Is the second hand not hitting the markets exactly going to kick your ocd off? It would probably end up driving me crazy.

@GoodTimekeeper

It’s the camera angle in some of this video making it look like the second hand isn’t aimed right. In other shots it’s better. And when I hold in up to my face and look at it with my eyes it’s correctly aligned.

@GoodTimekeeper

Yes, it could be the battery. There are two batteries in this watch. One of them is only for the light. So the one for the clock movement is probably drained. Casio recommends you change them both when one of the batteries runs out.

I have this watch, the one without numerals, and the metal bracelet. Without glasses this watch appears blurry. The difference in the width of the hour and minute hand makes them distinct for me, so the two different blobs are good enough, without my glasses, to tell time. Reflective hands dont seem to show up well in videos but it looks better in person. The illumination feature is fantastic.
