    First time viewer and now subscriber.. You're a bloody champion mate. What a top entry. This Casio really showcases early digital quality at its best. It's got an ugly mug my friend but on Tom Cruise the watch looked excellent. Great Japanese brand, intuitive features, clear display, durable construction, grab and go. You're a winner here with this entry! 🎉

    I've just bought this watch and not feel as big as the size in 45 mm. Its comfortable to wear everyday. And this watch looks cool with vintage design. The price is crazy. You should buy it before become rare and expensive. Nice review man. I subscribed

    • @WatchtheTime
      @WatchtheTime  Рік тому +1

      I agree and I’d say that is probably due to the lug to lug length of the watch. I’m glad you like it Aulia and I hope that continues to be the case for many years to come 👍👍

    Excellent choice Simon. I love Casio. Have 5 in my collection including this and a G-Shock Mudmaster GG-1000. I can't remember if you were in Poll 1 or Poll 2 but I voted for you whichever one it was. Up against automatics it might be a difficult contest but this watch is both tough, attractive and more accurate than any mechanical watch you can choose and any price, never mind 100 quid. And for 100 you can two of these and have enough left over for a few pints in the local!😁🍺🍺
