Today a review you voted for! This is yet another obscure but Uber cool looking Casio that looks like a prop from a 90's or 80's science fiction movies!
It is what I imagined a watch in the future will look like when I was growing up.
It is atomic but Multiband 5, meaning it can connect to all the towers in the world except China.
Sadly it's not solar so you will have to change the batteries every couple of years.
The screen is epic as usual with entry level Casios.
I will also be doing a detailed tutorial, so stay tuned for that!!

Hello, have you ever though about just having an accurate watch without the need of a wave receptor?. Since almost all sorts of waves are mildly harmful to humans. Is proven that even cell phones increase the heat in our bodies. I love the design of the watch anything like this without the wave? My regular casio is pretty accurate on its own. Heck nowadays even autos are fairly accurate...

Having or not having a wave Ceptor will not change the influence of waves on you, they are ALWAYS there, this just has the option to "listen" to them 😁

I had the rubber strap version of it. Ordered from Japan. The best thing about the watch: 1) The look. It is really noticeable outdoor. 2) Really light, you don't even feel the watch is there so be careful. 3) Super readable even in heavy sunlight. And the number is huge. You can turn on the blue light if in the dark. 4) You can set and see the full date calendar on the watch. Like 14 03 1967. Probably the only that have this feature. While the other negative would be: 1) The strap. I hope I can find proper third party replacement for it because, rubber strap tend to break down easily compare to the metal one. 2) The watch face. Need to find alternative watch face protector since accident could happened. Overall, it is really a good watch especially for 80's kids like me.
I love Casio's. And this thing looks awesome. Something I could imagine seeing in a '80s sci-fi set in the future.
It looks so cool !!! The digits and characters are so clear!!

Great looking casio knocked it out the park for design. Everyone should have a wave ceptor in their watch box if only as a reference piece!
Definitely something I will buy today. I fell in love 😍, thanks for the great video.
Love it! This has now been added to my list to buy - thanks for the review
From now on it's Saul's watch :) (S6-E10)
Bought this watch 14 years ago and still yet to change the battery. Of course its always accurate thanks to the wave ceptor.
I purchased the Wave Ceptor LCW-M170TD for my father, and wow, just a well put together watch, solar, multi band 6, 100m water resistance, titanium and slim, with a nice dial and hands that go to sleep when kept in darkness for a while, but spring back to their intended position when brought back into light.
One of the very few Casio watches in which you can switch the date format and a full date display. I like it.
Great review and well put together video. I am still refining my video presentation skills and your videos are a great inspiration. I own this Casio and I really like it. The functions are very intuitive so it is a snap to get used to. Thank you for sharing this awesome watch with us.
solar powered watches from CASIO are more futuristic, because they live on sunshine.
Have this Casio and recently started wearing it again. So light you don't know it's on your wrist. Classic in the making
Great review Watch Geek !!! I Purchased this watch a few days ago and I have to say I’m very impressed with its sleek cool retro design, clean number read out and bright backlight. Very happy to have this watch in my Casio collection 👍🤩

I've been a happy owner of one of these for about a year now. I have the "sportier" version with the black plastic parts and band, for me it looks better because it's not even trying to look more than what it is, while the metal version tries and fails because of the cheap looking grey plastic. All in all a very good Casio, nowadays it's my daily driver. I think it looks way better than its round (WV-58) cousins. Recommended! Nice review as always!

I have this and never wore that bracelet once... I put it straight on a light brown leather strap and now I like it.
Just ordered one. Love everything about these Casios !
First Casio like this one that I got was some time in the mid 70s. In 1982 I was reaching under a DEC PDP8 in a 19" rack that my secretary was tilting over so I could reach under it and she let the rack fall on my wrist, breaking the crystal. Got another the same that lasted about 20 years and picked up another in the late 90s after the chrome 'skin' started peeling off the case. My issue is that they are getting hard to find, most'fashion' watches are basically wall clocks strapped to your wrist and it seems the bigger, thicker and more gaudy they are, the better, the Casio is relatively thin and functional and still looks good.
This watch (with the black band) appeared almost like a mini character as the watch that Gene Takovic has in Better Call Saul's episode Nippy from Season 6... 😅
Casio are well designed for the price, no other brand comes close. The watch geek in me really fancies this watch. 👍
Woah! that lower right portion of the display is cool! Thanks for sharing this! Now I have to see the 300!

Very cool watch! I agree: I would love to see it made of metal.
Nice review! I just got mine, and couldn't help but notice that when it illuminates it makes this hissing sound, is that normal?
Futuristic and cool. The multiband 5 was a surprise.

Do we have any videos on how to adjust the metal bracelet??? I am looking for 2 hours already on KZread to find out how to adjust the band to my wrist
I FINALLY pulled the trigger on this watch. I ordered the one with the black band. I’m hoping I can put a nice thick leather strap on it.
I love all kinds of watches but this, i cant take my eyes off, and day mounth feature is priceless!
Now thats a cool looking watch 👌🏼
My favourite was Casio twingraph 2. Amazing watch, looked great, wish they would bring it back
excellent thank you
Wow, so cool!!
WONDERFUL WATCH. 😍😍
I'd like to own this Casio. It looks fabulous.
Nice one, several different versions of this including silicon strap and a round face version.
Very nice!
I have that unit and still working and battery is 10years. But it only adjust if the country transmit atomic clock. But here in the Philippines don't have atomic clock
I bought my Casio WV 59 last summer on a fleemarket for 3 €. I polish the watch and it was one of the best buys last year.
Whats means by wave ceptor? And what for the antenna that showing at the corner?
Just got mine and it doesn’t have the blue light but orange ish. Did I get the wrong model?
Nice Watch
Cool watch!
The ordinary battery that used on this watch is an advantage rather than bad thing. The cost of an ordinary battery is much much cheaper compared to a very pricey hard to find solar battery.
Nice one it is cool in 80's really.
Looks amazing! Maybe somebody knows about similar watches but with better quality and materials? Or maybe upgrade kit?
I am from the 80s and u are right I love the look of this watch tho I wish it was thinner like the f91w
I have the same black version really i like its high quality very durable very handsome there is no problem with it .
Gawd damn that bezel kills it for me.
Casio watches are bad ass, love almost all of them.
I remember back in the 80s when the teachers used to tell me that i needed to learn math cause i wasnt going to be carrying a calculator in my pocket all the time; I was already wearing Casio, Calculator Watch 😂 and now the Iphone, apple and siri does everything for me.

Man, I wanted this watch so badly at one point. And after watching your review... I still do! But as you said, if they made it in an actual steel version, I would buy it even at double the price. The fact that it isn't solar makes me sad, as well. Anything with multi-band makes me expect 'Tough Solar' alongside it thanks to G-Shock. Awesome work, as always, brother!

I picked up my WV 59 around 2007 / 8 I think. I still love it. On the back it says WV 59 U though? It looks so unusual and yet it's really appealing. Great review, thanks.
I prefer the strap leather, are for this watch?
The same review of this watch was done in a Mexican channel, great minds think alike.
That's nice 👍
Me encanta este ⌚❤
Looks so beautiful. Is there a plastic version of it? Thanks
I like the design
Unique watch! I kinda like it! Would have liked it more if it was solar!
Is the housing metal or plastic?

A note that the M-D that appears on G-Shocks isn't a purely U.S. format, although M-D-Y is: Y-M-D is commonly used in Asia, and when you exclude the year from the dial you get a format that works nicely for both the U.S. and Asia. Still, considering most of the world uses D-M-Y, I can understand wanting the ability to change date formats.
