I'm on the waiting list for one of these at my local Casio AD. Can't wait until I get the call.
You're actually lucky, my Casio AD doesn't even put my name on the waiting list.
LOL!
Have you gotten yours yet? I'm now just weeks away, the dealer just rang.
@@soupfork2105 over the past four years I’ve spent £30k on jewellery and watches I didn’t want, but the manager insists I’m next on the list! Hopefully very soon! 🙏🏻
NASA uses this model of watch.
Pilots of the WB-57 high altitude
aircraft have the watch head sewn
to the left sleeve of their flight suit.
That's just tripled the value lol. It's why speedmasters are so expensive.
Just watched a video showing the suiting up of the pilot/co pilot. You can see the watch quite clearly on some kind of pad on the left wrist of the suit. Very interesting.

I wish I never knew this info.
Now I want one 😁.
@@JeeGee114 Buy one before the price "skyrockets" 😀😀😀
Finally! Back to the cheap seats! These things are great. Nearly disposable, but very reliable. I used to keep one in the top drawer at work for those rare occasions when I space out my watch before leaving for work. I keep an invicta quartz, now, because I want to be upscale. [wink]
Absolute gem of a watch, I wear mine to the beach, in the ocean, in the pool. Keeps absolute dead on time. I took mine apart and added aftermarket lume to the hands and the index at 12, now the watch glows all night!
I work as a mechanic and have worn one of these everyday at work for the past 2 years. It still works perfectly even though its been covered in oil, fuel and has been bashed around.

Jodi in a mankini might the top ten funniest things to exist in this world.
Always amazes me that Casio can get the seconds hand to hit the marks for $20..........other $300 Swiss brands......not so much🤔
I wish the two I had did.
A top tip, if your kids need a gateway watch drug, theres also the Lady series of LRW 200. Looks the same in photos, but quite a bit smaller. I have both in the houshold, my MRW has been to hell and back. My 6 year old wears a MRW most of the time due to it being blue (boys will be boys) but the LRW does fit him much better.
Love your videos and have no been a subscriber for a couple of years now. Usually in the U.S. when someone says "HOLIDAY" ,we think Thanksgiving, Christmas, July 4th, etc. What you are talking about we would call a"VACATION". Keep up the good work!
The 24-hour sub-dial is good for those who want to learn 'military time'.
Nothing wrong with short and to-the-point videos! I appreciate them 👍
I had the black with yellow hands and numbers model. Pretty good disposable watch. Super lightweight and the day-date is impressive at the price-point. In a box now because i realized how much I need a backlight in my outdoors activities. I just wish they would port the solar powered moon phase and tide watch (with neap and spring tide, plus LED illumination) to a quality housing.
Memories... your first UA-cam review... you've come a long way since then...
Ha! Yes mate! The accent is still the same though. Cheers!
Just One More Watch But you sound much happier now 👍🏻😊
You must have been fairly wealthy growing up as I would have thought you would have said Blackpool! Growing up in industrial north west England that was our holiday destination of choice. Another great value offering from Casio which as always for your price you get a lot of watch for your money
Sadly, it costs about the same amount of money for a week in Blackpool as it does for a package holiday to Spain (add in the cost of travel from Scotland), biggest difference is you're more likely to get the sun in Spain and the booze is cheaper... If you weigh that up, Spain wins... also, I always found you ended up in the same B&B as the neighbours you were trying to get away from in Blackpool.
I hear Blackpool is the swinging capital of the UK though, so if that's your thing... lol.
My holiday is spent watching JOMW. :)
Just got back from my 2 weeks in Turkey, i took a Casio W-800H-1AVES, It was flawless so light and comfortable, 100m WR and dual time. Cost me £15.
If Casio added some quality lume it would be the perfect travel\out doors watch.
Totally agree. I have one and the lume is shocking. Lovely watch otherwise.
Wow for that price with even 100m water resistance and you want also a good lume? Even some tissot for 400$ didnt have good lume and you fellas expect good lume on 20$ watch haha
@@Visitor555 Not expect, I just wish. It's not too much to ask for really. If a watch has lume, make it good... What's the problem with that?
@@Mr_Memer.876 Buddy i want that too because i have watch from that series but as i said i had Tissot for 400$ and my Seiko 5 have better and last longer lume that this tissot. But for 20$ ofc they will put the most crap lume they have just to tell it have lume but its shit. Ofc will be better with good lume but again price point..
Perhaps my experience over the years with Casio giving us so much watch for so little money I now imagine they can do anything for next to nothing. Is lume really that expensive? My low cost Seiko 5 has bright, long lasting lume. Added cost would be less than a dollar a watch is my best guess. I even looked into adding lume myself with a watch paint sold on Amazon. Add long lasting lume, bump the price up 1$ and it would be a fantastic bargain.
I have one and it only gains about half a second a month! I love it!
My wife never lets me wear my man-kini. Guess I’ll buy a dozen cheap Casios in various colors to make me smile.
Craig Watson
Sorry, I’m not British.
Your wife will smile too when you buckle them end-to-end and make your man-kini that way.
Ron Jenkins
A win win for me !!!
I gave one of these to my son when he started Scouts 5 years ago. Still running strong.
I actualy used this one for diving at 35m in shipwrecks. Super reliable!
San Miguel pale pilsen, the best loved beer from the PH 🍻
43mm is quite big so for the ladies who want one, LRW-200H is the women's version of this watch (sadly there is only one black variation available and all else are white and pastel). Makes perfect sense as a holiday watch. Looks good, it's water resistant and great for the beach, can take a beating, and cheap enough that it won't hurt if you get too drunk and somehow lose it.
Jody,
I wanted a holiday watch and then up popped your vid.
Checked out a few on-line option but found an all black version at my local Argos(!).
It was £14.99 and one in stock.
What's more they asked if I wanted to use up my Nectar points (memories, eh?)
The net result is I paid £2.49 !!!!
And, it's perfect, great size and very light.
Thanks for the great suggestion and all the work you put into the channel.
You are a bit of a legend.
Recently bought a Casio W-218H and I think it's a great watch for the price. Mini G-Shock appearance, good looking and very simple. Should be in the 20$ range too.
Bought a black band/case white face (which I think looks incredible) after viewing this video. Out of 15 watches, it has become my favorite EDC watch. I wear it in the shower, sleep in it & even wear it in the hot tub. I love how casio watches have 4 simple screws to remove to take the back off for a battery change. No more watches for me that require a press to get the back on. I use the bezel for cooking things in the oven sometimes. I feel naked without it on anymore. Incredible value for the money!
Couple of weeks ago I was going to buy one of this casio just for the summer as you said but finally I choose Casio AQ-S810WC 7AV.
I have an AQ-S810 and it's a great watch, solar ana-digi with a backlit lcd.
Yep, 100% agreed. I'm super satisfied with this piece. Take a look on my insta☺️
I have a friend who just took this watch diving with me yesterday! It worked out well! I wore my glycine combat sub.
Wow, this is a throwback to your first watch review!
A true holiday watch! A while back I saw a comment on another watch video where a guy was doing some remote travel through various African countries as his holiday & called Rolex to see if they thought it would be ok to wear his subby. Of course they said yes & he was subsequently relieved of it, you could have saved him with this Jody!! 😂
This is priceless. My watch strap for my G-shock broke two days before my holiday so I ordered one of these from Amazon as an emergency watch as the battery had run out on my other G shock. I have just sent the thing back to Amazon now I am back home as the day and date adjustment was horrendous and was never on the right day or time for more than a few hours.
This is why Casio is my favorite.
What a coincidence that you posted this video on the same day that I bought one of these watches at the flea market! It's in mint condition and I got it for $5. It was great to learn more about my latest watch; thank you for posting!
I have 2 of these, both Black, but one with a red bezel. Both of mine are solar powered and they are great. I actually fitted a olive drab Nato on the black one and a black Nato on the black and red one. I actually think the more subdued versions are great field watches. Simple, very rugged and very legible. I have the one for about 3 years and the other going about 6 or seven years.
Will you please have a look at the Orient Defender.
I love your videos.
Enjoy your day.
I own a all black version
It's the one I wear when I'm cleaning fish tanks and working on cars
I have mine on a Ebay silicone metal clasp band..
I used a 24mill band and cut the tip down to fit in
You have recommended a watch other than the casio that was under 30 bucks...and I bought it and I enjoy it and it's a Tevise submariner homage watch and it still looks and run beautifully. In fact, if you havent done so lately...check out Tevise again. Huge range of automatics and they look great! I also bought a Tevise date just Rolex homage and it is fantastic.
Best watch reviews on UA-cam hands down.
Bought my first g shock today because of you Jody! I put it in my watch box without telling my wife.. she isn’t happy.. I blame you
Not a huge fan of this particular model but I can see that it's a very good daily driver. I just ordered a Chinese watch called Lige (model 9872, silver white) for $17. It looks nice based on the marketing material but I'm curious how it looks and feels in person. Maybe you could look into Lige too, Jody.
Personally I'd just spring for (yet another) Timex weekender for around $30, if only for the Indiglo! But I do love cheap and fun watches! I like it when we all remember this hobby is supposed to be fun and not cost prohibitive. Keep up the great videos Jody!
I have a timex new england I like for a beater. It has reasonable basic lume too.
Geting back at this It somehow remembers me of the old TAG Heuer Formula 1 from the 80's. Love it
I just happened to be wearing my 5125 when I saw your video. Absolutely the best watch for the price in my modest collection, for both form and function.
Totally agree, bought mine for a holiday in Spain and it is a perfect holiday watch, bought it from Argos for £9.99 and my review on the Argos website I described it as the prefect holiday watch. I can not recommend this watch enough, it is stunning value for money.
Counterpoint: Spend another ~$10-$15, and you can get an AQ-S800. They're like the MRW in build quality and lightness, but add solar power, world time, alarms, chrono etc etc. And I can personally vouch for them being tough as nails and having excellent battery life on a solar charge.
mak450 The point of the video is “do not spend more than $20”.
@@martinc.720 No it isn't. The point of the video is he's recommending a cheap watch that he likes. I'm recommending a better cheap watch that isn't quite as cheap.
@@mak450 I completely agree. My AQS810 has been to the beach many times and has also mowed the grass every weekend for years now.
Can't go wrong with Casio. More please 🤘🏼
For that price, what more can you ask for? Perfect watch for the holidays or the weekends. And you can get a few too for variety! Thx dude
Bought one of these on eBay. Black with slight gold highlights on bezel, dots instead of numbers. Bought as a Bush walk, gardening and boys weekend watch. Very pleased so far. One point though, if you do change the strap to a NATO style, you may need curved spring bars as there is not much clearance.
I like the 24 hour dial its cool and think your watch is listed as navy blue and not purple!
I cringe when I think of the many times that I've holidayed while wearing one of my regular watches. Until now, I had no idea that I should have a holiday watch.
I'm still learning this horology stuff.
Mate! Next you'll be telling me you don't have a specific 'Tuesday' watch? 🙄😜😂
Great choice. Actually I get them at price of 10gbp.
Extraordinary value for money.
Coincidentally I watched your first video earlier this evening!
Quirky little fella, crazy how Casio can take elements from many different watch types here and it kind of works. Keep up the good work, sir!
Great to have you back with us in the bargain basement after your recent moves upmarket. 😁
Sadly I've already been on holiday, and had bought a square G-Shock to cover that one. So I have no excuse to buy one of these in some suitably lurid colour…
Casio Marlin next. One of the best sub 50$ divers.
He did a review on the Duro/Marlin about a year ago. Subscribe & check his older videos. 👍
My wife bought me that watch. I absolutely love it.
*Solar powered* AQS800 and AQS810 series for $30-$40 are better beach or "holiday" watches. Analog hands. 100 meters. 5 alarms. Countdown timer. Again I say it is *SOLAR* powered.
Jody, as a Casio fan, you need to check these out.
Even the lume is like a Vostok!
HA! 😁The weak Vostok lume was so disappointing.
The more of videos I watch, the more I'm sure you've got the best channel name in the whole UA-cam watch community.
Now... all I have to do is resist impulse buy... easier said than done! Maybe my son would want one ??!!
I've got one. I've found the battery lasts much longer than two years. Mine's about ten years old and I don't think I've changed the battery more than twice. Takes a beating too. My bezel was stiff as f, but I popped it off recently and put some silicone grease on the gasket and now it's smooth as silk.
keep doing what youre doing! love your videos
Holiday? Vacation? I'm supposed to get one of those? That's it, I'm calling HR.
I think this watch looks great on a NATO with a compass, just for that extra adventure look.
I wondered how the L.A. Lakers colors would look, thanks for the review. Just getting into your channel and really appreciate the good information. I couldn't match your accent with Australia, I have two good friends from Scotland, but your cleared that up at the beginning of this video. Have a great Christmas and New Years. Thanks again.
Got the black and white one and it's a great work watch. The second hand hits every single marking bang on , love it.
I wear this watch to class and clinical. Helps with calculations between military and standard time for exams.
I bought this watch for this exact purpose for my holiday to Fiji 2 months ago! Except i went a bit more conservative with a white dial...not that I'm questioning your choices Jody!
Brilliant.I brought an all black one for camping a couple of years back but barely leaves my wrist now! My other watches hate it! Good on you .Cheers.
bought this watch for my brother on 2013, still running good! only need strap change.
"and if you get drunk and loose it on the beach, you'll not gonna cry too hard" )
Good Lord, what do people do on vacation nowadays ?!
@@user-et8vm9cc3t я хз)
I've heard the module (and face, hands, etc.) can be swapped into a Casio Duro fora different look while keeping the 200M WR.
I bought watch this a few years ago. The black version with white numbers and red markers. Brill holiday watch to throw around and not be bothered I just seen this video lol. I made the choice myself based on value for money and the fact it has a bezel Great choice
7 days of sun and San Miguel in a man-kini...perfect!!!
I think I just found my ideal watch for lounging by the pool, thanks man
ALL THIS TIME! AND I NEVER KNEW IT WAS PURPLE!!😃👍for some reason it looked dark blue-but I can see it now!
Well this particular model has proven elusive-I wanted a purple-so I bought a Casio took it apart and painted it PURPLE DIAL!😃😃👍was the big brother to these😃
Great value for sure. Good for going into questionable areas on vacation. I did not know you could get an analog watch for 20 US dollars that tells you the date and day also.
Hiya,yes and a timingbezel. Insane value for money and cool.Love mine and I am in my fifties ? Makes me feel young lol!!!
Got the Arabic numeral black and white one today. Loving it so far.
You are a bad, bad, bad man Jody
That's another watch ordered after seeing a new JOMW video on youtube after a few Malbec's. What a lovely, quirky looking time piece.
I've recently figured out my perfect holiday/camping/festibal watch is the Casio Royale. Used to be the Timex Weekender but the tic is just absurdly loud. May need to check this one though, can't go wrong for a twenty! Great work Jody
Went to my local AD for one of these sports watches and there is a 2-5 year wait list. But it will be worth it.
That's a cracking watch for the price
£14.99 in Argos
I just got mine delivered to me last week. Black and white.
Just bought the all black version of this and love it... Just also noticed the Hoff on reruns of baywatch wears something very similar lol
By the way, the equivalent to a Spanish Island vacation from Scotland in Canada is definitely Cancun or possibly Los Cabos. Unbelievable beaches in Cancun! Beautiful country, lots to do besides lounging, and great people!
...and last time I brought my perfect plastic casio holiday watch, easily handles the swimming and snorkeling and doesn't draw unwanted attention...
;-)
You didn't put this on on the timegrapher.
Love these. I have 3 or 4 of them.
I hydro modded mine with ultra thing gun oil and now it feels like a James Bond watch cos it will reach depths totally unexpected from such a cheap looking plastic watch!
Nice looking watch! The Casio analog-digital watches are also useful for travelers. I like to set mine with the time of my country of origin on the analog part, and use the digital time for my country of vacation (and airline stops in between).
Can you please review that wall clock behind you??
Here's a question for you. People always say dings and scratches have stories behind them. So if you only bring cheap watches on your holidays, wouldn't your cheap watches have the greatest stories to tell whereas your favourite watches only tell a tale of mostly being in a dark box tucked away in a shelf somewhere?
While technically correct, the expensive watch won´t tell any tales to you either once it has been sold off on the black market by the guy who just mugged you because of it ;-)
So a holiday watch imho is a great idea if you´re traveling in any part of the world where you might accidentally walk into the wrong side alley.
Personally i prefer the cheap Casio digitals ones.
On out of country holidays I would bring a Casio. I recall Don King being robbed of his Rolex in Mexico City some years back. If it can happen to Don it can happen to anyone of us..
I did say "your favourite watches", not your most expensive watches, unless you only like a watch based on how expensive it is. I just meant I won't go buy a cheap watch just to make it my holiday watch. Because of that, I have some very fond memories attached to my watches.
That said, use your common sense too. I wouldn't take an expensive watch to a developing country with high crime rate either. Not that I would go to such places for holiday.
Next holiday is Japan. I will only bring one watch and expect to buy a few there.
I just recieved 2 from Amazon and gonna order 2 more for my collection.
A ton of bang for the $$$ and I call them a "Surf & turf " watch... field meets dive.
Love it. But.. If I recall you did recommend the $22 Tevise Auto last year and not unfairly so.
I got a casio world time shows 3 time zones on one face, 10 year battery, water resistant 100 whatever £22 50% off on sale at Argos. But I will need a 3 year old to change from summer to winter time
Bought the black and gold one and it looked way more expensive than what I got it for. Unfortunately I only owned it for a couple of hours cos it felt small on my wrist perhaps the MRW210 would've been more ideal. There's also a chrono style one (MRW400) for those interested.
I have not paused a video since the famous Sharon Stone movie. In hindsight I do not know what the motivation was for me today. Disturbing.
Fortunately for you in these modern times the video won't wear and tear and become unwatchable after a few long pauses.
Perhaps a remake is long overdue.
A couple months back, Amazon listed the one with black dial and dots for $11 USD. Of course, I had to buy. And it tuns out to be a really nice, practical, durable knock around watch that looks like a downscale MDV106 Duro Marlin, another Casio I own but have never really warmed up to. The MRW200, however, has been on my wrist most of the time since I got it.
I almost bought the purple(blue?)/yellow one about a year ago, but I decided against it since they don't seem to be as widely distributed in the US, and can cost twice as much as the black band/case one. I like the color, but I didn't realize the band has a glossy texture rather than the satin that the black ones have. I think I might have been disappointed with that feature.
What a great beater watch! Love that Casio does analog watches at this great price point. It will make a great gift for my grandson who thinks the only way to read time is digital! To bad they don’t teach the basics anymore. It’s all modern computer crafts that they have already learned playing video games. THEY DON’T EVEN TEACH CURSIVE WRITING ANYMORE!!! No wonder American students are lagging behind in learning. 😢
Jut got the white strap version for 11 dollars! Very good watch and keeps accurate time. Just unbeatable value!
You "Guiris" for sure enjoy Spain during the summer. If I'm honest, it is very nice to see you people happy enjoying some sun for once. I have to say I love Northern countries but that weather though, it is tough to get used to.
It's the only time when Scottish people don't have a blue tinge on them. If we didn't get away to Spain for 2 weeks we would look like extras from Avatar.
@@saintdave1877
😅
The black face version looks like a tactical watch. 😎
Great find jody. Smart looker and no I don't mean the purple mankini lol
Nice one Jody , screen shot your mankini pic to keep the bairns away from the fire haha
Hi Jody, just picked up a Submariner knock off from Amazon, the brand is called Reginald(I know what a hilarious name) but the quality for the price is amazing, it runs a quartz movement, but has sapphire glass & solid end links on some models & best of all they are only $60-$70of our Aussie dollars, worth a look & build quality is better than Invicta.
Water resistant to 30 m Waterproof for daily care ,not for swimming and diving
Picked up one these at Walmart a year ago it was marked down to 7 usd :)
I'd go the extra on the Duro but cant knock these ,always a safe bet with a casio.
Just in time for the holidays too!
