Even the great Nico Leonard consistently puts Casio into the 'god tier' of watch brands. Who can argue with that!

I bought the Casio Sailor Moon watch for my daughter. She doesn’t like watches, and this limited edition didn’t grab her attention. So it’s now the coolest watch in MY collection. Moon power make up, indeed.

When the great Jack Forster was still at Hodinkee he wrote an ecstatic review of the Casio AE1200 World Time. That immediately sold it to me. Fantastic watch: Five world cities can be loaded from an available 48, five alarms, countdown timer, stopwatch a ten year battery and a perpetual calendar that will outlast the owner. Mine cost £22 from Amazon three years ago. Amazing.

The reason I used the Casio reference number in my post is not all watch retailers are aware that the AE1200 obtained the nickname “Royale” which only applies to the model with the gold coloured case. It acquired the Royale name because it resembles the Seiko G757 5020 Sport worn by Roger Moore in the James Bond movie Octopussy.

The A168 is a great watch. And the various dial design options, finishes and bands really do a lot for it. And the Royale is a great option for larger wrists. It also has a ton of color, material. Band options. That one is a current favorite.

I too like my A168, but the metal band is rubbish and wouldnt even come close to fitting my 8.5" wrist. More importantly to me in my 60's the A168 digit size is (way) to small, a better choice for legibility would be the 217H, much larger digits and easier to read digital display and to me legibility should be more of a key feature in a digital watch - IMO too many reviewers dont give near enough importance to digit size and basic legibility as a main watch feature.

Came for watch knowledge. Got non stop chuckling at these two's banter AND watch knowledge. Well done.

You guys run a great channel. You’re well versed in both, affordable entry level watches, all the way up to high end horological timepieces. Impressive.

Every day, I wear the plastic Casio. I work with electricity, so no metal watches. I wanted the Casio so bad when I was a kid. I did get one and then moved on. I guess now I am back.

My most worn Casio watch is the Casio W-218H. It's slightly larger than the F-91W, but it is a nice watch and a really good daily beater. It was a real steal at £19.99 from Argos.

Just bought Casio royale, absolutly amazing, I miss it here

I never had anything else than Casio. I think I am on my third watch in my life (I am 60 now). The first one in the seventies of last century was a Casio digital watch with a solar cell in it, so the battery would last 2-3 years instead of 1 year. I think that is still brilliant, and I would love to have it back. I had to buy another Casio because sadly the display broke, the liquid crystals were leaking.

I recently bought a A-1000, with the brushed metal finish for 100€. It looks absolutely stunning, totally wearable with a dress shirt and simply amazing design

So many great Casio watches. I tend to wear a ProTrek most the time, which is probably a little out of the bargain price range but I'm in the UK so I like to check the weather as much as the time.

Surprised you omitted the MDR-106 'Duro'. I genuinely think it's one of the best entry level watches across all brands. A great looking, well made and highly accurate 'desk diver'. Just don't keep the original strap!

Definitely should’ve included the DW 5600

I use a AE-2100W for work. £20.00 from H Samuel's. It makes a great tool watch with the alarms and count down timer. And the back light is better than the F-91W.

I always been tempted to buy one. Thanks for making a list how to waste more of my money on watches

My only complaint is that this video ended so quickly! Cheers gents.

I love my Casio a168 and MTP Tiffany blue.

I bought f91 green and a168 these are just beauties .... I like the shapes

Loving my A500, after a couple of years it's now bit tired though. Excellent list! Would have thrown in the AE-1200WH and the new AQ-800 colors.

Great video. Please do one of these videos for Timex and Armitron. Armitron especially has some real all-steel cased digitals for about 30 bucks.

For the dual-display, I'd go for (and probably soon will go for) the aq-800e-7aef with graph-paper background.

This is the best video you guys have done in a while. More please :-)

I've bought both my son and daughter the ca53w, ( in plain black & a cool white )simply because it was Marty McFlys watch & as a child of the 70s & 80s i remember them being mega expensive first time around. I love casio & everyone should have at least one.

My favorite casio is my AQ-100W. It's a black and gold dive style watch that uses the same module as the Casio Arnie, which should make a comeback

The calculator! I had one back in the 70s! Actually two, there was a scientific calculator version with 4 button on the top of the display. It can’t get any nerdier then that.

Casio B640, I got two, plus the A700 is very pretty.

I love my Casios. A700, Marlin, MTP-S110. The Edifice 5340 can be worn with everything, everytime.

I bought that edifice as gift for my brother but with white dial and black bezel. I can assure you it's not 49mm. It's 41mm at max. I'm sure they put the wrong numbers at the website you looked. It's a great watch

Very entertaining as well!!! TY

Great content! Thx

W217h is my favorite

Casio makes a watch to satisfy almost everyone from design to style to technology to color to size and price.

Got the black f91w and the gold 168, g shock white and a world timer. Good watches

The A500WEA is my designated “travel watch” for obvious reasons and the practicality of having 4 time zones at your fingertips simply cannot be understated. Departing Europe, a layover in the Middle East for a landing in some other time zone, something goes wrong, a flight gets canceled, you have to scramble for connections and stuff… dragging suitcases on an airport, phone busy rebooking flights… The A500 is maximum convenience when in these situations.

I've got a casio at 550 Janus calculator watch from 1983 ! Really cool watch and proper high tech for the time I often wonder why they didn't re release it along with all the others.

DW-5600. Great video

The Edifice you had here isn't 45mm (or maybe including the crown), it's 42mm diameter with a 48mm lug to lug. I have the white/silverish dial and can rock it on my 6.5 in wrist. It wears slightly more compact than a Duro

love the channel! finally watches i can afford lol thanks fellas.

The W-217H is my go to bargain Casio watch. It's just like the F-91W but, bigger and has a better backlight.

Keep the budget videos going. My pick the Casio g shock 9052.

Not as budget, but one still affordable is the Casio Oceanus S100. Has to be one of - if not the - best quality/price watch under $500.

Casio making knock off G-Shocks! 😂. I luv it! The tackier the Casio the more I like it. Just waiting for the retro calculator version to go on sale but now I might want the Ripley watch featured here. Best thing about a Casio is if you're wearing one at a fancy dinner party and a guest at the table looks at his Patek and says, "My goodness. I didn't realize it's 11pm already." You can let him know his watch is running a little fast.

My watch cost me two € at the recycle shop it is an OOZOO, metal-silvery case, white face, black indicators, it has the date, and time, I bought a nato strap, and a battery to go with it, it runs fine, looked it up, it was a 50€ watch when it was new :) I don't have any money, no job... so lucky me :)

My only complaint with the F91w is the backlight. I'm tempted to buy an A168 and swap out the module.

The ‘gold’ one reminds me of my old Omega Memomaster.

The data bank will be my next Casio purchase. Like it much more than the calculator one with more functions

That ana/digi Casio is extremely reminiscent of analog/digital Seiko from some years back. And the olive drab calc watch is going on the "must have" list. Not too sure about the gold A168; I had to go with the "proper vintage" all stainless one. And "private yacht" and "Casio" just DON't go together do they really? :P Uh, I'm also not sure about the Edifice diver. Half the water resistance of a Duro for nearly twice the money? The Duro should've been on the list. As for what else you left off the list, on my wrist right now is an MTP4500D-1AV. An analog chrono with a **SLIDE RULE BEZEL** (yeah, it's too small for me to read without a magnifier, but so's a Navitimer for 100x the price :P ) for just on the high side of 50 clams. What's not to love?

I love how they didn't even bother cleaning up the crop of the Gold one lol 😁

You missed out another casio g-shock copy. That is the tough solar illuminator. It looks like a g shock, similar to a casioak, it has 5 alarms, 2 countdown timers, an hourly time signal, world time, stopwatch, is water resistant to 100m and the alarms are much much louder than the useless alarms on the g shock. Mine is the blackout version but they come in various attractive colour schemes. It was only £34.99 from Argos. The tough solar watches are nearly as tough as the g shock watches. I also have a tough solar wave ceptor which i bought nearly 23 years ago and it's still working perfectly. It's still got the original battery in and it never drops below full charge.

Great choices, but was expecting to see the transparent DW5600. Absolutely oozed cool for $75 so, like, less than £50?
