    I've had mine for about 6 weeks now, with the positive display (the backlight works much better on this one). I actually find myself staring at the 10-second animation a lot! At first I was skeptical about how comfortable the band would be, but after the first wear, it feels just fine on my 7" wrist. I know it won't be as rugged as a G-Shock, but it works for me and adds to my collection! Great video as always!!!

      My second day with this..... no its not a G Shock, but once you get past that it's a little lovely..... for the price...

      I got a negative display one. And as a Casio fan, most people don't care about 'if the watch is going to stand extreme shocks and water and mud and all that stuff'. 90% casio lovers probably don't do these kind of extreme jobs. Most are the collectors and collectors in my opinion buys watches based on their looks and antiquity 😊(at keast casio collectors) my thoughts

    The Vibration Alarm ones are also a decent G-Shock killer. 100M WR, G-Shock fixed lip strap, protected screen, double white LED with a big button up front, and the size of a standard round G, for only about $25.

    Casio has lots of great options for cheap watches that are durable enough for kids, but don't cost as much as a G-Shock. Also, G-Shocks are huge on kid arms. All of the watches in the video are solid choices, depending on one's priorities. Love the Beetlejuice notebook, too.

    I’m a little late to this video but my favorite pseudo-G is actually the DW 291 which looks like a budget king of G, has a lot of functions, and also sports a 200 m water resistance and what they call a heavy duty build. Perhaps the most welcome feature is the brightest amber illumination I have seen on a cheap Casio.

  • @arjunraina7
    @arjunraina7 Рік тому +19

    Amazing video as usual. My suggestion for a budget Casio apart from the ones in this video would be Casio DW-291HX. It has pretty much everything you need- 10 year battery, 200M water resistance instead of 100M, World timer and the standard alarm, stopwatch and timer. It is a rugged watch, looks kinda like a G-SHOCK and it has 2 Amber led lights.

    Casios cheaper line of watches are brilliant in many cases. I’ve had the WS210H for years and the features on it are nuts all for around £25 or something. Moon phase. Tide graph that changes between spring and neap tides without finding out the longitude and latitude of where you are, world time solar… and all the other features you know and love from Casio.

    Great review, i bought 2 of them when they first came out. At first I was really keen, mainly due to the cool graphic display. I didn't like the strap much so swapped it for the stainless steel bracelet from a Casio AE-1200WH, it goes quite nicely with the stainless steel case cover. I also removed the black lettering and realised that the exposed metal is a slightly yellow colour, (base metal not stainless steel?) Also the cover itself is only fixed to the plastic case with double sided sticky tape so not sure how long it'll be before it falls off. Agreed the light is a bit of a let down having only one LED unlike the AE-1200👍

Not that we needed all that for the collection but once you get locked into a serious watch collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

    I can tell you for sure, that just like all the Casio watches, and a lot of these type of watches in general, the ridges that are near the top of the watch band are there to keep the watch generally in place, basically, so it doesn't move around on your wrist too much where you have to keep adjusting it... so the ridges are there to simply keep the watch from moving and stay in place.... I really like the design of this watch and have just ordered it myself on eBay.... it will be a nice piece to my small Casio collection.... love, your channel and your videos, and very entertaining, keep up the good work 😊👍🏻

    Realistically, most of us are rarely going to put our watches in "only gshock need apply" territory - Casios, not just gshocks, are pretty tough watches that are sufficient 99% of the time. But you don't have to "hard use" a watch to scuff an unprotected resin glass, and if you do use it hard, that resin will be practically opaque in a few months time. Gshocks get away with using mineral glass instead of sapphire, and still retaining their reputation for toughness, because of the way the bezel protects the glass (although I think any gshock over $175 SHOULD come with sapphire anyway; there's no excuse for ANY watch at that price to NOT have the best glass option available, not when some manufacturers, including Casio, have offered sapphire on much cheaper watches). But as far as this watch goes, that unprotected resin glass alone takes it out of the running as a "gshock killer"; forget hard use, that's going fail rather quickly under moderate use.

  • @andrewtyrrell5698
    @andrewtyrrell5698 Рік тому +1

    Just viewed your video, great content as always, but here's something that a lot of people miss. The flat crystal (acrylic) is a lot easier to polish out when flat with the bezel. I have a AE1200 which has a similar inlay and having no corners to negotiate is gives an even finish when polished. Also I use a low grit metal polish called Peek, it is excellent for getting out the deeper marks and then use Polywatch for the final finish. The results are remarkable.

    I'll never understand why Casio decided to go back to the F-91W backlight for their budget watches. That makes no sense. If you're not going to do electroluminescence, at least put in a *better* backlight. It's not the 1980s anymore. If they can put a good light in the TRT-110H, they should be able to put it in this one.

    I was going to complain about the poor back light but as I have a few F-91W's that have an illumination like a glow worm in a dull sweet wrapper I'll not mention that, oh I see I did. Oh well I have a few Casio and a few G-Shock watches and like you mention there is a clear difference in feel and weight due to the extra anti shock gubbins. I do quite like the watch and the price seems OK but as my Casio/G-Shock collection is expanding like un regulated styrofoam I'm applying the brakes.... ish, I'm tempted by the Mud Resist. Having those little animations to look at passes the time when waiting to be seen at the doctors or at the hospital. Both of which this week I got slightly bored of my beloved G-Shock 5610 (the old EL Backlight version) and started to count the floor tiles. Many thanks for sharing.

    Casio resin straps are far more comfortable if worn loose. They last longer as well.
    The resin watch heads are generally much lighter than steel cases, and dont need to be worn so tightly.
    Wearing Casios more loosely than other watches does take some getting used to, but it actually is very comfortable if you can make that change.

I disagree with the light concern and think the way you filmed it doesn't do it justice (or maybe your watch is faulty??). I have no issues whatsoever seeing the time when using the light button in darker environments. The strap is a little uncomfortable indeed, but wearing the watch a little looser does it for me. I wonder if there is a fitting replacement strap.

    The G Shock killer to get is the WS-1400H-1BV weighs only 39 grams, I own a G Shock DW 5600e and weighs 53 grams, huge, huge difference, 26% less weight, when you put on the g shock feels like a chore to wear and when I wear the WS-1400H-1BV you feel like Superman, it's like walking on sand vs walking on the sidewalk 👌

    I think you undersell the illuminator line. I've tried to destroy an old non-G Shock Casio. I finally succeeded, but it took a LOT of doing. I can guarantee you that the regular Casios are far from being fragile. In fact, I wonder just how much hardier a G Shock actually is, but they tend to be a little too pricey for me to buy one just to stomp, kick and drive over it.

    An 18-wheeler couldn't even kill a G-Shock. What the hell makes anybody think another watch could?

    Ah what a shame, would've been a fantastic G-Shock alternative with a proper backlight.

    Looks a nice watch especially as it had a bit of metal and a legible display for the over 60s

    these g-shock killers will never be as durable as a g-shock and i'm not talking about abusing it. for occassional wear, they're OK, however, bands tend to break after 2-3 years of constant wear, crystal will be scratched and yes, you can buff it but that's extra maintenance. so imho this g-shock killer phenomenon is a moot point.

    My only problem with my GW 5610 is small buttons. So if im planing on using stop watch or timer timex or Casio wv59 just for big comfy button.

      That watch is straight outta the late 90’s early naughties! Not a fan of the fluid shape with the strap my friend. I tend to steer clear from early millennium designs! However! It’s a great value Casio!

    That watch is almost a replica of the new Gshock G-lide 100. Let me warn you all of something this guy hasnt found yet. If you wear the watch for a while you will notice scratches on the metal bezel and these scratches are really bad. I have small scratches that glint in the light when i turn my wrist side to side. Actually I am comparing this bezel to the G-lide and it is exact in every way. Even the cut out around the Light button is the same.

      This doesn’t own the G- Lide because this guy knew he’d scratch the bezel hundred pound bezel !

    it looks like a dog, walks like a dog BUT it doesn't bark like a dog... then it's NOT a dog. This watch is the perfect underdog
