Great review! Actually the original Twin Graph came in both resin and steel cases, so this reissue is still true to the original. Will definitely get this one!
I got mine a few days ago and my 9 year old daughter noticed it right away. And she doesn't give a toss about watches typically. I love it, total winner.
Jeeeez it's already the the 40th anniversary of G-shcok?!?!? Time does fly. I've always loved the AE-200, so happy to hear they did such a good job with this new one. Great video, this release totally past me by. I think the size suits you perfectly and that grey, just perfect. Thank goodness for a decent backlight too. Thank you for taking the time to share this! Best regards, TGV
I just received mine yesterday, it has not disappointed. Very aesthetically close to the twin graph I remember having as my first watch when I was a kid. I do wish it were metal as I’d like to keep this one forever…
As a kid in the 80s, had a twin-graph, and wore it until the strap broke. It was resin, not metal. Point being, they DID make a resin one back in the day.
First time checking out your channel. Thanks for showcasing this cool Casio! Has a Royale vibe to it. Also, my last acquisition was the blue-dialed version of your Sumo Solar GMT and I love it! Cheers!
The original 1985 Twingraf looks a little better. It's a pity that the second smaller circular display doesn't have seconds segments like the first version. But it's good that Casio is reviving these legends, albeit in a much more economical version.
It's an homage to the twin-graph, it's not really cloning it. The reason that small display doesn't have a second graph is that the seconds are counted on the LC Analog display.
The original black resin version was my first digital watch back in the day. I loved it and still have it. although I need a new wristband for it.. I can probably get a replacement now that fits well. Thanks for the review! ❤
I love Casio watches and I wear A500WA-1 everyday. I loved this new model the instant I looked at it in the website. It was only later I learnt this is a reintroduction of their vintage collection Twingraph. Now I am loving this more. Will soon be getting one. Thank you for the review. It was very clear and helpful to understand what the watch offers.
I'll definitely be buying this once it's available in my country. It's tad bit smaller than CA53W which is ok for me. I'm happy that Casio didn't decide to release it with a negative display. My CA53WF comes with a negative display, it's a challenge to read even in broad daylight.
I recently saw this and I'm in love with it! It's back in stock too Happy to hear that it's smaller as I prefer that with small wrist and all. Thank you for this review!
I wore the original on back in the late 1980's and it looks similar, but they are missing the red line around the display, with a blue line as well. I had the black resin one. The module looks exactly the same.
I bought the Timex LCA, which wasn't cheap, but the full metal case and band was a win, what wasn't a win was the puny LED light. It's all very well going for "retro" but Timex have had Indiglo for ages, and it would have been easy to put it in, and frankly they should have for the asking price. I've got a 1985 Casio AE-70 which is a style I'd much rather see brought back, but I'll probably grab one of these once thry're available again.
I bought the LCA and regretted it instantly. Yeah the metal is cool and the little pop of blue in the screen graphics was nice, but the LCA was a nightmare to use. Every feature of the user interface was poorly thought out and it cost an awful lot for a watch I never wanted to actually use. And it had the worst backlight I've ever witnessed. And no manual.
I was a little concerned about the size when I received mine, but it quickly grew on me. It's the amount of useful features that Casio has packed into such an efficient case that does it for me. I thought I was getting the feature set of a W800H, which was fine because I just really dig the twin graph, but am enamored with what I got. Gray is how I ordered mine as well. My wrist isn't huge, so it looks good on me, then again I prefer smaller watches. Great review man.
This amazing watch it is very similar in functions about an unit that I had when I was kid, the AE-11W module 694. but this one it is even better because it have light, and I guess the time zones, I love it and I cant wait to receive mine.
I had a twingraph orig and it was plastic case and strap . Sold for a pretty penny .. the date couldn't be set to today's one as it only went to 2016 or something
great vid yes I will be getting one my self as an alternative for "house watch" and my modded casioak as my "formal watch" really awesome what they did here
What attracted me to this watch is the digital-analogue watch face. Back in the late 80s I really wanted a Timex Marathon that had a full-face digital analogue display which I thought was the coolest watch-related thing ever and still do. Sadly by the time I'd saved the enough pocket money to get one Argos stopped selling that Marathon model and I was left forever gutted. I keep an on the Timex website in case they ever do a re-release, but nothing so far. As a result I think I may have to opt for this watch in order to finally get that digital-analogue feature..
This release is great and more "digital analogs" should come back, although i prefer the graphs on the original. I also miss some colours on this one... nevertheless i'll be getting one soon.
I like when they're called 'liquid crystal analog'. The chip inside quartz watches is indeed digital, but that's the case for analog quartz watches too.
Thanks for review! A good watch indeed, but the only thing make me feel sorry is the 60 seconds window on AE-20W is now been changed to 10 seconds windows on LF20w。
Agreed. Received my watch yesterday and the band and the look brought me back to my AE-20W from my childhood. My daily will still be my DW-5600, but will definitely be pulling this one out for those times I know I won't need the beater GShock Durability.
Estimado muy buena reseña, no conocía este modelo me gusta que tenga la hora analógica digital y que no es muy grande. Hay algún modelo Casio que solo tenga la hora analógica digital y que ocupe toda la carátula? Saludos 👍
I’d like to see a 42 mm release with full Arabic numerals for the analog time display screen and the graph screen should be replaced with a world map screen that shows whether its day or night depending upon your time zone.
Oh... I'll be getting one once it's back in stock... I would love it if they re-made the AE-21W as it was the watch I had as a kid and I've been trying to get one from ebay but they are being sold at a crazy price.
I've been looking for this twin graph watch. If they release this in resin I'd dive straight in. Problem is I live in the UK, so I doubt if I'm able to make a purchase. Thanks for sharing etc
I mean the 10sec timer could be useful for espresso if you cannot afford the Brew Metric. My scale has a timer but if it did not I would be looking for a watch like this since it serves the purpose for a fraction of the price.
Super Awesome Classic! I thought I remembered? (back in the day) a version of the Clock being 'black face with gold markers and hands', 'Analog', with Digital at the base' If Im correct, dunno its been awhile? I would love to see something like that made' or again! _ Really Love this' Thank you Casio!🤍
That's an interesting one. I'm not likely to get one since I've just finally bought the Royale on the bracelet and haven't given it much wrist time since (somehow my G square or the W59 almost always end up on my wrist when I'm checking Casios in my box), and this one certainly has a similar vibe to it. Love that G btw, I hope you got it for the retail price, which was high enough already. That's one thing I don't like about G squares, you've got to pay much more (2x, 3x) for a slightly upgraded version of the same exact watch. Casio does the same with the Vintage series. Oh well, thankfully I'm not into golden versions anyway. Thanks for the review!
Totally agree. I find the analog-style digital representation very useful. If only they did not include the cross hair, the hands would be much more quickly legible. But then we don't know if there is a technical reason to include them.
Agree with your thoughts. I wanted to love this watch but it's too small to make it fun - or at least the display is. Even though it's about the same size as the original, the digits are actually smaller than on the original Twin Graph. If casio made this one 30% larger it would be a slam dunk. Also the LCD viewing angle issue is a real defect I think.
This is a great question, I always thought it referred to 'signal' as in the atomic time. But it actually means the watch will beep every hour, on the hour. Its showing if that is activated or not!
I bought a black one, great features. Because of the size it has only been on my wrist for only one day since I bought it. I still think it is a great concept but wish it was larger and definitely wish it was made of medal.
@@CasualWatchReviews ya, I seen that one but it is to expensive for me but it is really nice. I did buy the timex metal case with the analog but the digital time was to small and the backlight was useless so I returned that one. I do have the casio ae1200 which I bought a metal case from skxmod and couldn't be happier.
The beige variant of the LF-20W almost looks like the white AE-20W which is basically a unicorn at this point. And yes, it is a worthy successor! I'm glad Casio is re-releasing old models with a little design overhaul.
I like it but the band feels really REALLY cheap and flimsy. The case too. Very nice features and the screen is the best part. If you own a F91w or AE1200 or AE1300 you'll understand what I mean about the quality if the plastic. I feel even the casio calculator watch is made with better plastic.
Twin Graph was my second watch ever in life, my "sporty" companion to my dressy Timex Mystery Illusion (which has a full LCD analog dial). Wish this re-release had the same splash of red as my original (which was also resin). Not sure why they dropped the WR from the original 50m. But, sadly the movement in mine died (although the Timex is still working!) so this has some great nostalgic feel goodsvto it! Considering my preferred case size is 45mm plus, this little fella is more likely to be a display piece next to my original, but it's exciting nonetheless. A solid review, thank you!
Great review! Actually the original Twin Graph came in both resin and steel cases, so this reissue is still true to the original. Will definitely get this one!
Hey! I'm going to pin this comment so viewers know I made a little mistake there! Cheers for watching!
It doesn't look small to me, although the digits on the LCD are really very small to my old eyes.
@@CasualWatchReviews Cheers! My man!! Great review.👍
I got mine a few days ago and my 9 year old daughter noticed it right away. And she doesn't give a toss about watches typically. I love it, total winner.
Yep winner for sure!
Chris what is your wrist size
@@christopherdixon5141It will fit you, my Casio friend. Even weightlifters wear small watches.

Cheers TGV thanks for watching! Yep, I just reviewed the 40th G-Shock before this one!
I guess now you can officially call the G square a granddad's watch.
I'd love to see the retro red and blue accents/graphics around the dial and on the strap like on the vintage TwinGraphs.
What an amazing re-release! An INCREDIBLE value proposition, which is why I love Casio. I'm VERY keen to pick one up when they're back in stock!
Casio keeping it classy with the size 👌🏼
Totally!
I just received mine yesterday, it has not disappointed. Very aesthetically close to the twin graph I remember having as my first watch when I was a kid. I do wish it were metal as I’d like to keep this one forever…
Yep I look forward to a metal version!
typically how long does it take for a resin band to break down that you own? Do you wash the watch and dry it?
where's to buy?
What size is your wrist? Wrist presence?
As a kid in the 80s, had a twin-graph, and wore it until the strap broke.
It was resin, not metal. Point being, they DID make a resin one back in the day.

The original 1985 Twingraf looks a little better. It's a pity that the second smaller circular display doesn't have seconds segments like the first version. But it's good that Casio is reviving these legends, albeit in a much more economical version.
Yep, all great points. Thanks for watching Jiri!
It's an homage to the twin-graph, it's not really cloning it. The reason that small display doesn't have a second graph is that the seconds are counted on the LC Analog display.
I am waiting for this to happen exactly 33 years

I think this is a stunner especially in cream - after being disappointed with the times LCA I'm really looking forward with this piece.
That size looks perfect! I reckon give it a couple of weeks and it will come to feel normal, even a refreshing break from your larger numbers.
Just purchased one today for about £27, could not resist!
I'll definitely be buying this once it's available in my country. It's tad bit smaller than CA53W which is ok for me. I'm happy that Casio didn't decide to release it with a negative display. My CA53WF comes with a negative display, it's a challenge to read even in broad daylight.

Happy to hear that it's smaller as I prefer that with small wrist and all.
Thank you for this review!
It's an absolute stunner. Does anyone know when it's getting released in the UK? I can't wait to get my hands on one!
It come out in Europa in June
1985 is my birth year. I must have this watch in my collection
I wore the original on back in the late 1980's and it looks similar, but they are missing the red line around the display, with a blue line as well. I had the black resin one. The module looks exactly the same.
I have the grey version. I agree, I would love a steel version of this watch. 👌🏻

I have the original world timer and I like this one more.
It will be great that if Casio will release full metal version of lf-20w 😍
Great value at that price. I love it when Casio releases something new or newish.
Eh ? New ? Words fail me
I had a twingraph orig and it was plastic case and strap . Sold for a pretty penny .. the date couldn't be set to today's one as it only went to 2016 or something
You have to set it back to 1985 in order for the date matches the current date
Great video, awesome watch and I hope they restock it
Is this a repop of the one used in Blue Thunder?
great vid yes I will be getting one my self as an alternative for "house watch" and my modded casioak as my "formal watch" really awesome what they did here
I wish it was only analog, I'd buy it in a second
this looks aesthetically pleasing, with a touch of minimalism..they will always run out of stock with this one i reckon
Nice I wonder if the module would fit in a "Casio Royal" case..?
What attracted me to this watch is the digital-analogue watch face.

Looks great! Wish they indeed made these in metal cases.
Yep 100%!
A more elegant version of the Casio Royal. Wish they would remake their classic models in metal.
Absolutely!
Damn it, now I have to buy another Casio. Had the twin graph as a kid.
Zeon melody watch with digital hands is my all time dream watch
This release is great and more "digital analogs" should come back, although i prefer the graphs on the original. I also miss some colours on this one... nevertheless i'll be getting one soon.

I could definitely see this in an aftermarket metal case, which would add a nice finish and some extra size.

Black and gold is hard to pull off on watches, but when they get it right it looks great like the ‘John player special’ Seiko

Hi, I really enjoyed your review. Can you set the time on the analog/digital watch independently?
Exelant model how much cost in india
Casio Must Realeases Twincept watches again 😊
Sir which casio will you suggest for a college student?
(budget and roughly use for daily life
The standard gshock square DW5600E-1V is a good option
W-59 or F91 would be great too
I would love a polarized version of this watch. Is all the UI all in the LCD or is much printed?
Good question... The frames are printed and the majority of the analog dial,
@@CasualWatchReviews Polarizing may look a little hacky then! Let's just hope for and inverted model! Thanks for your response.
The white case might make it wear a bit larger. And I hope a new battery fixes the LCD. Personally I'll wait for them to resurrect the AE-11W
Yep I may try the new battery
What about the crystal? Resin or mineral? 😮
It’s plastic. I must have forgot to put that in. I was planning on doing a text overlay must have forgot
It is actually very ellegant to my eye. Does it have a european way of diplaying date (moth-date) ?
That's an interesting one. I'm not likely to get one since I've just finally bought the Royale on the bracelet and haven't given it much wrist time since (somehow my G square or the W59 almost always end up on my wrist when I'm checking Casios in my box), and this one certainly has a similar vibe to it.

Si no usará un smartwach, definitivamente compraría este reloj
I think it wear very similar to the CA53W in term of sizes
I wish it had a water resistant of 50 meters! It would be perfect!
How’s the resin material compared to the g shock
Similar I would say in feel. The case is hard plastic however!
@@CasualWatchReviews so the strap is resin and the case is plastic
Yes, plastic case and a biomass type resin. I covered it in the review briefly
I wish Casio would stop using the cross hairs in the ana digital display, it's just bloody annoying to me.
Exactly. That analog digital display of clocks is useless except eating the space.
Totally agree. I find the analog-style digital representation very useful. If only they did not include the cross hair, the hands would be much more quickly legible. But then we don't know if there is a technical reason to include them.
Your suspicions are correct: there is nothing eco-friendly about Casio's polyurethane "bio-resin" material.
I love the look of this. I they release a metal version
where's to buy?
I bought this on Casio'
s website
I can't find any for sale.
And being in Canada doesn't seem to help.
Would love one at that price. Unfortunately here in the UK the cheapest is £52 or $66. Hopefully it will drop in price.
That's a lot of money. I snagged a gray one from Walmart for $22.98.
Couldn’t find it on amazon
Was the original watch from 1985 really made of metal or the typical chrome coloured resin?
One version was stainless steel,and the other resin color
Agree with your thoughts. I wanted to love this watch but it's too small to make it fun - or at least the display is. Even though it's about the same size as the original, the digits are actually smaller than on the original Twin Graph. If casio made this one 30% larger it would be a slam dunk. Also the LCD viewing angle issue is a real defect I think.
Is the band replaceable with a NATO band or other bands? Thanks in advance and great review!
I honestly doubt it! A nato would be a close fit
@@CasualWatchReviews Thank you!
Is it possible to change the day of week from english to another language? Is German there?
Can i found on for sale atm?
what is the SIG for? on the display
This is a great question, I always thought it referred to 'signal' as in the atomic time. But it actually means the watch will beep every hour, on the hour. Its showing if that is activated or not!
A reskinned a1200?
No I don’t think so? Doesn’t have the world map on it for starters
I want re release of the AE 21W twin graph 2.
I just wish casio would offer all of these cheap vintage in metal cases. I don't care if the price is double.
Very nice sir

I like it but the band feels really REALLY cheap and flimsy. The case too. Very nice features and the screen is the best part. If you own a F91w or AE1200 or AE1300 you'll understand what I mean about the quality if the plastic. I feel even the casio calculator watch is made with better plastic.
Great watch if it wasnt toooo small.
All the quirky retro stylish Casio digis are too small 😒
Stainless steal, with 100m WR, solar cells and sapphire crystal would be perfect.
