Everytime I watch one of these type of videos I realise just how many watches I've owned in my 51 years on this blue orb! (Owned more than one per year that's for sure)
Ha ha I’m not far off that number myself !!
Great video. I've still got my Casio musical watch that I bought in 1981 with jingle bells, happy birthday, wedding march, etc. and it works perfectly. Lovin' it
Thankyou! This seems to be one of my more popular videos. I need a melody alarm in my collection.
@@IlluminatingWatches Sorry mate. You can't have mine :)
Boo!!
Another awesome addition to this series! Casio are the kings of the complication! It’s hard to think of an activity they haven’t brought a watch out for!
Great video. It's amazing how iconic a lot of Casio really are. They will always be my pick. I have several. It's an addiction. Thanks.
It truly is! But better than being addicted to luxury watches!
los relojes CASIO te lo dan todo por muy poco dinero cosa que otros relojes de lujo o de alta Gama no dan y cuestan una fortuna lo mejor es CASIO empezando por el primer modelo de su historia CASIO TRON Y F 91 W Y TODOS LOS DEMAS AMI ME ENCANTAN TODOS LOS MODELOS DE CASIO tengo muchos modelos saludos para todos y buen video con mucha información de estás joyas,,,,👍
Your work is incredible, I really enjoyed that video ! can't imagine how much time you've spend searching for all of those but thanks for doing it !
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Thanks for this. Your videos continually send me, and no doubt others, down rabbit holes looking up old watches with regularity!
I am the master of rabbit holes! Been down a deep one with the latest Sanyo video!
I turned all of 9 years old in 1980. It must of been around then that I was given a Casio. Something very similar to the F91 in color and shape. I had 2 of those predecessors I believe, plus a Pac Man watch and a Space Invaders. A little later a calculator Casio.
Then in 86 or so, I was around 15, I became aware of Swatch. Suddenly Casios seemed a bit childish and overly nerdy. The analog Swatch was so cool and modern, plus it felt more like a "real" watch, more grown up somehow. Though later I was intrigued by G Shocks and Ironmen, I (mostly) resisted digitals until very recently.
Thanks for the video, so well made and your hard work putting it together clearly comes through. Many, many thumbs up!
I think you have a very similar journey to many during that period! Thanks so much for the kind comments , makes it worth it!!
Great video. I didn't know that casio had made so many digital watches. I have a fully functional F-88W, which is very similar to the F-23W. It is the only watch I wear on a daily basis.
Welcome to the very big universe of casio watches! And then you need to get into other brands!
A wonderful video again. I really enjoy the research you put in to producing it, thank you.
Thankyou so much!! I see you are working your way through. Hope you enjoy the full series. Lots more where this came from!
This is such a great vid. Super educational and entertaining!
Thanks Norman!
Your videos are really easy to watch. I appreciate your attention to detail!
Much appreciated! Very glad you are enjoying some of the back catalog
Super video.
I had a lot of Casios in the ‘80s. I started to collect them a few years ago. Fascinating subject. Many thanks
Thankyou - really glad you enjoyed. It’s such a fun hobby!
I LOVED SO MUCH THE WACHTES RETRO : ' 70 , '80 , "90 . THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS VIDEO . ☺👌 📟🙋 GRETTINS ! .
Great presentation dude
Thankyou! Much appreciated
Another excellent video, very informative. It seems quite incredible just how many different designs Casio have produced over the years. I would normally be a bit concerned that they were over diversifying and in danger of going out of business. But they've been doing it for so long it obviously works for them.
It’s pretty amazing right? I just think of all the individual meetings it must take to just come up with the idea and execute for one watch. Multiply that at scale across all of their product lines. That’s some real man hours!!!
Was hoping to catch my SDB-500W, and managed to spot it in the catalogue shot at the end 👍🏻
Ha ha glad it snuck in!
This is such a cool series so many memories from the 80's! I just wish I had kept all of those old casio's from back then there's a few in this list that I have owned. Thanks for putting this video together.👍👍
Far too kind! I enjoyed making it!! Just adds to my Casio acquisition syndrome !
Had I known back then all those "cheap digital watches" in casio carousel at my first job at the drug store back in the 90's would have put someone thru college in 2023 lol
Amazing video, I own a 1989 Casio TRW-21 Motorsports Tachymeter (along with 4 other Casios) and this video made me appreciate that watch even more
So glad you enjoyed it! Yes I find knowing a bit about the watch history makes you doubly appreciate it.
Great video. Some lovely watches. Real nice collectables. I have the Casio Dw3000. What a monster.
Really appreciated! Dw3000 a cool watch!
Tri Graph! That was my first watch, and I recently found mine and wore it again (I thought I'd lost it 30 years ago). The strap had perished, and 14mm lug width made it hard to replace, so I just bought a strap meant for an F91W and notched it.
Awesome - love finding old watches that have a personal story behind them and finding a renewed appreciation
Amazing video, very informative, subscribed
Really pleased you enjoyed it and welcome!!
wow, excellent thank you
Fantastic.
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman brought me here. Nice channel you have. I have liked and subscribed. Keep up the good work!
Welcome! He’s been amazing. Probably half of my subscribers at least come from the two shout outs he gave me. Hope you enjoy the content - more to come!
@@IlluminatingWatches Thank you! He is a very good friend of mine and my passion is mostly in vintage LCD watch restoration, so I am sure to enjoy.
This is much more interesting than it should be! Thanks for the great video - it's clear that a lot of research and passion went into this :D
Welcome! Really glad you enjoyed! Lots more videos in a similar vein on the channel if you enjoyed this one
@@IlluminatingWatches oh I’m already hooked - just getting into the 90’s video now!
Do you have a favourite watch? I recently bought a F-91W and liked it so much that I found myself going down a Casio watch internet rabbit hole.
@@cardthrow18 the rabbit hole goes deep with casio! My favourite watches are the omega x-33 (first gen) and the casio Cosmo phase. I’ve covered both on the channel
@@IlluminatingWatches I detect a space theme! Looking forward to watching your videos on them :)
Really good documentary. Subbed.
Thanks so much!! Lots more where this came from. Hope you stick around the channel
I was '80 teen and I like it your video; I have calculator & watch ML81. Excellent in one word.
Thanks so much! 🙏
You’ve done a great great job doing this video. Congrats. You’ve got one more subscriber
Thanks so much! Many more videos where this came from!
Well done my friend... this was a brilliant adventure through the 80's... so many new models I've never knew about, but does bring back the best years being in my younger times :))
I like how you pick the movie/TV watches that don't get covered, so good job on that side... my favourite... think I have to watch again :))
Cheers for the massive amount of effort my friend, and it shows :))
Huge 80's thumbs from me :))
Legend! Thankyou very much :) I’ve still got to actually watch blue thunder!!
@@IlluminatingWatches You've not seen that film... a classic for sure... but don't get distracted by watch spotting LML :-P
@@IlluminatingWatches If you had, you wouldn't call Roy Scheider as "Roy Schneider"... ;-)
Speaking of nitpicks: The first vid in the series was 4K, this one is 1080p and the third only 480p - why ist that?
@@oldguy9051 d’oh! Thanks for letting me know. As for the video quality, it’s a result of having to save the video from iMovie (I know I need to upgrade!) which has an error that they haven’t fixed where it thinks it’s run out of storage when trying to covert a large video. I found by reducing the quality it seemed to work.
@@IlluminatingWatches Don't worry too much: I only really commented on the video res because the quality of the content is top notch otherwise.
I really enjoyed that , I had Casio and Timex watches in the 80's , also a Nintendo Game & Watch
Thanks!! I was an 84 baby so Timex Ironman with indiglo was my first’
Brilliant video.
Thanks man! Much appreciated
so nice
Very nice casio review!!!
Thankyou!
My first watch was a Casio calculator CA90. One of the best remember of my childhood.
Very cool. I was an Ironman triathlon kid
Great video. I’m late to the party. But you didn’t mention the TS-100, world time and thermometer watch. ☹️
F91W was my first real watch. I got it from my Parents. I even slept with it. And this is how my love for Casio was born. More than thirty years later, I am still a Casio ultra fanboy ❤🔥
my grandmother worked for Casio in the 80s and i was first in my neighborhood and school to have a digital watch. i was in Jr high.
That’s awesome! Would have loved to have an inside person to get all the original posters
Very interesting video. Thank you! I had a blue red and white casio from the late 80s very similar to the FW-91 except there was a border line around the day/date but I've never seen pictures of that watch online. Would love to know what reference it was but it's long gone at this stage.
Wish I could bring it to mind - can’t think off the top of my head. All the 80s catalogs are pretty readily available on the casio vintage Facebook group posted by a chap called Pierre Doyon so you may be able to find it in one of those
I LOVE CASIO
You're very hardworkinh.. And make very masterpiece videos
Thankyou - that is very kind of you to say!
Cool 😎
Very enjoyable. Its interesting to see the evolution of the modules and functions. You mention modules dropping from $ 300 to $ 3. And these all being quartz movements what was the progression in accuracy of these movements. Obviously atomic time and bluetooth changes today's watches automatically butg did the accuracy have a similar path as the price drop?
I did read elsewhere about the value being 5-8 USD in 1985 so I guess that number may be overly dramatic , but it sounded good! The whole theme of accuracy in Quartz digital watches is an interesting one… a video idea perhaps!!!
Great video, really interesting. I have been a Casio fan since the 80's and slowly building up my Marlin collection!
One point - regarding the reference to 'DW' at 4:15 seconds - instead of Digital Water resistance I had always understood this 'DW' to stand for 'Diving/Divers Watch' or 'Diving Water' resistance - and this seems to apply to watches that are true divers at 200m water resistance (e,g DW200, DW-1000, DW2000). Other Marlins at this time are only 'W's like W300, W450 and these are 100m water resistance (so not serious 'Diver' watches I assume?)
So many more videos for you to discover on the channel if you enjoyed this one! Welcome to the rabbit hole. Entirely possible you are right re: DW! Much appreciated and do stick around. I’m about to publish a video on the casio cosmograph .
@@IlluminatingWatches Haha defintely sticking around :) - look forward to that next video!
Well done and enjoyed the history. Technology has always had the problem of what to do with it. :)
You saying you have no need for a phone dialler watch? Ha ha’
Sting probably used the jogger watch as a metronome replacement when practicing bass.
Ha ha that is a great shout! As a fellow bass player I can see the utility
Cool😀😀😀😀
It is a cool video I am a casio watch fan
Thankyou! Really glad you enjoyed it. Casios of 2000s coming soon
Hi.
I've recently got DB-15O from 1995.
What struck me is that it has eeprom memory so telphones from previus owner are still there despite totally drain battery! Wish it was a norm now..
What a classic watch!
I had that beautiful 12 melody alarm wrist watch, which worked almost for 17 years.
Even Blue thunder model was too good.
They should manufacture these models in SS again.
We miss them😊
I'm very much into utilitarian and economic watches, especially digital square display watches
Well you are in the right place! Lots of that round here. A surfing watch video coming soon with many more such watches!
14:30 Many sources quote Citizen as the first of the Japanese brands to make solar watches, in 1977.
The tri-graph should be called the “George” after Costanza from Seinfeld.
Ah yes! I didn’t know about that until someone mentioned the same recently. It’s in my casio fact bank now!
I use to have a calculated watch I wonder if I still have it

Welcome and thankyou! (أهلا وسهلا بك!)
They should bring back CASIO AE-22W TWIN-GRAPH II like Timex did with Q Reissue Digital LCA. Cool video :) greetings from Poland :)
I really love the twin graph II as well! Hello from the Uk!
@@IlluminatingWatches hello :) about twin graph... I bought one like 20 years ago for like 10 bucks and lost it like 10 years ago. I loved it so much that sometimes I dream about buying or finding new one... :) but recently I bought Timex Q LCA Reissue... not the same but also cool :) love LCD analog watch hands :)
@@crazyivan030983 oh awesome! Very jealous. They are expensive now! The Timex reissue fun too
@@IlluminatingWatches unfortunately expensive... but my new Timex love is indeed fun :D
Hey maybe the LF-20W would be a good replacement for the AE-22W? It was just released
I always credited the "Tri-Graph" as the "George Costanza" more than Donnie Darko
You are more right than you know , as the Donnie is actually a casio cosmograph I now know!
Really?!?IT'S OFFICIAL!
i like the FS-10, very flat and clean look, easy to wear on the wrist. are there any other flat casio watches like that ? casio should remake flat watches like that, i would like one.
Frogman actually didnt have a depth meter until waaaayyyy many years after its first release, its only lately they put depth meter in the frogman watches.
Yes funnily enough i realised this within the current video I’m making. There was a digital depth readout on citizen aqualand from early though. Error on my part!
@@IlluminatingWatches Yeah but its an easy error to make. I personally assumed Frogman had a depth meter for many years myself. Until when I got some Frogmans myself, I realised that wasnt the case. Not even my 2003 Frogman had depth meter.
I think its only the two last ones that actually do have it. The latest digital Frogman has it, and it was the first.
@@grimmer2005 Yeh they added in depth guage as part of the “quad sensor” upgrade to gulfmaster which was relatively recent in the timeline . I assume its using a different tech to the old school depth read digital read outs. Always learning!
Need some help guys, I'm trying to find and buy my childhood casio divers watch. It was very similar to "the tank" casio due to its 200m water resistance, but it was cool in my opinion because it had world clock/time zone modes aswel as different alarms and other features, basically I loved that watch, I was quite a heavy handed kid and this was the first thing I ever owned that I didn't break or ruin within weeks of getting it, and for that reason I desperately want one to use for work, BUT, I can't seem to locate even one anywhere and I'm all out of bright ideas and places to try. It'd be hugely appreciated if anyone has any suggestions? Also....thanks for taking the time to read this 👍🏼
Hmmmmm could be the “Heavy Duty” range. These were marked with a HD. You can relatively easily find some catalogs from the time and take a look. Hope you find it!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Can you do the modern ones? Not the gshock series
Already done up until 2020 although I included g-shock too.
@@IlluminatingWatches yeah sry I checked yourr channel thanks 😃
No sorry needed! Thanks so much for checking out the channel!
So scientifically speaking, is DW-1000C the true G-Shock precursor? :-)
Funny. The Casio temperatures don’t require an internet connection to display the temperature.
Ha ha but they often do require taking of your wrist and leaving for 30 mins to be accurate when you check the manual!
HELLO . I LIKE SO VERY YOUR CHANNEL . ME TOO COLLECTIBLE WATCHES .
NICE CHANNEL . WELL DONE ! ! . 👍☺⌚
Thankyou! That’s super kind of you!
@@IlluminatingWatches IS NOTHING ILLUMINATING WATCHES . KEEPING TOUCH ! ! .
🙋
How about amazfit neo
It looks very cool. I think you need to keep charging it though
Old times 🥹🤍
👍
i like the thin digital watches, FS00 and FS10. the FS00 looks nicer, it coesnt has that big button on the front. how thin are these thin watches? Sanyo PM2000 is a 2mm thin watch, these thin casio watches lool like 5mm thin. sad that there arent thin watches lik that made anymore, not that i've seen, i think they must be very comfy to wear and they look sleak that thin.
Yeh they are great. I think you are right that the Sanyo is thinner. I think the Nixon comp watch is pretty thin too - worth checking .
I GAVE A CASIO WATCH ⌚ "IT'S REAL" TO FLORENTINO S. SUSALO III :) I'M LIKE SERENA VANDERWOODSEN PORTRAYED BY BLAKE LIVELY ♥️ I'M NATURALLY GENEROUS WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE :) I ALWAYS WANT TO SEE MY LOVEONES HAPPY :)
Casio f91w
Take a look at my video on 90s Casio’s :)
I'm watching cuz I'm looking to find one on the internet so i can have something no one has. I want people to say...."wtf is that"?
Hope you find a good one!! Some awesome Casios out there!
It's Roy Scheider, not Schneider!
Joined thanks to mr rangeman @wup69
Welcome! Half my subs are from mr rangeman. I only hope I can live up to the recommendation!
