    Let's not forget that it has no 24H. It also has a very underwhelming module. Premium watch but Casio dropped the ball on this one. And the bracelet is a hairpuller for sure.

      @@khazelnut it’s definitely a basic and expected feature for a digital module. Just showing a “p” would do. There’s no excuse unless we talking about mechanical complications. Casio does this deliberately to downgrade their watches so you never find the “perfect” watch from them and keeps you forever desiring more and paying attention to their next catalog. It’s the game you play with a cheap yet hyper successful brand like Casio. They can’t scalp you sufficiently off a single sale so they employ a different tactic.

    This is a fantastic looking watch, but a pity that the bracelet is a hair-nipper. Even before that though, the reason I never considered the predecessors to this watch (The A100 "Alien" watch) or this one is that the day-date are not available at a quick glance. If I have to press a button to change the view to get that information, I am almost definitely going to end up looking at my phone screen instead. It's definitely a "me" problem, but it's one I wear a watch to cut down on. So time, and date on the primary display are an absolute must, and the day is a nice to-have.

    Why would you buy a vintage watch and then complain about its vintage issues? The straps we retro people had in those were just like that. This watch wasn’t made for Chewbacca. It doesn’t have water resistance?? NEWS FLASH! If it did it wouldn’t be retro or a remake. Know what you are buying!

    The dumbest thing about this watch is that the module is actually able to show 24 hour time, the digit on the very left can be any number (not just "1" as you might think). But it just doesn't do that for some reason. It's sad that casio's stainless steel models are so pricey and still so shit.

    I love the design of this watch it's just a disappointment the module doesn't have 24h time. When I first saw this watch my first reaction was: THIS is the stainless steel casio we've been asking for. I just wish the module was better and because of the module I feel like it's just a tad overpriced.
    I really liked how you showed off what a strap monster this watch is which is rare for these little Casio's. The leather and the red nato looked awesome.

  • @dorudragoescu1311

    Thanks for your review. I love mine ! I never go deeper than 10 meters and love the bracelet. For me, it is a great watch and no, I am not an employee or paid by Casio. My only gripe is I wish it was not made in China, but the quality is very good. The only button I use is the light, and I also use my finger nail. I have tried a NATO bracelet and switched back as the bracelet looks best, I agree. Its my favorite retro looking watch.

    • @TomasWatchReviews
      @TomasWatchReviews  10 місяців тому +1

      30 meters of WR means it is only splash proof, not recommended for swimming. For swimming you need 50m WR, to dive 10m you need 100m WR. I agree, it is definitely one of the best looking ones.

    all the strap options doesn't look as good because the original protrudes out closer to the actual case width. Maybe consider shaving the arm hair around the area of the strap. No one gonna see it if you wear your watch.

  • @MiguelBricaBrac
    @MiguelBricaBrac 10 місяців тому +2

    Again you nailed it. $150+ dollars and we are getting a watch with a press caseback and poor water resistance. The features of the watch are from a basic time keeping module. A metal alloy that while great looking scratches easy. The illumination and that orange tint is uninspiring also my model, when I pressed the illumination, the contrast legibility of the numbers diminished. Finally the look, the watch looks amazing, but with a terrible hair catching bracelet. You showcased so many other options, but IMHO they all made the watch look out of place. It is a watch design that looks cheap without its original bracelet. Great review.
