This with sapphire glass would be absolutely perfect and would be literally free money for Casio. Actually any of the vintage lines with sapphire would make give Casio a new golden era
Thank you. The steel case should last longer and ange nicer than the plastic version. So I’d probably go for a1000ma. I’m glad they got rid of the mother of pearl front in the new version
Great review. I’m a huge fan of Casio watches and I think this is the best looking watch Casio have ever produced. I liked it a lot from the pictures and videos when I bought it, but it’s even more beautiful in reality. And I adore the very high quality Polonaise strap which seems to be an upgrade from previous versions of the A1000.
I have the gold coloured version with the dark brown face. The module colour is also Gold coloured. I really like it. The bracelet is very comfortable and easy to adjust for a perfect fit too.
Thanks for this review. I've been really curious about this model and seriously thinking of getting one. It looks a bit like the A700, which I have and really like.
Very helpful, thank you. I think you're the first to have real hands-on footage of this model. I think this thing on a really nice-fitting leather strap that has the little cut in where it meets the lugs to make it flush would look absolutely fantastic.
Yep, with Sapphire glass. A 168 gunmetal with metal case and Sapphire glass. I would give a lot of money for such a gem. Would be free money for Casio.
I got me a SKMEI instead. €5,- and put that on the NATO, works perfect, looks good. Good working back lights, runs on time.. Shir Kuh Mei - "Beautiful Moments in Time". (粤, 闽, 客). The Skmei 1123 digital retro watch.
Were you able to swap the strap of the 158w onto the A1000 model? I have ordered the A1000, but I’m not a fan of the mesh strap. I also have a 158w and love the stainless steel strap on that model, so if the swap is possible, that would be perfect.
@@leks85 😂 even I have an Apple Watch, but I use it only to track my cycling or walking activities. I’m somewhat old school - I still prefer my vintage and inexpensive Casio watches over smartwatches any day.
I think is is better than G-shocks.. it it compact & built like a tank.. But I still love my vintage casio marlin better than this a1000.. because casio marlin have circle Orings on the case back.. this has awkward gasket at the back which is harder to find & replace..
I own these Casio and both Casio Rag & Bone versions. Today in my country (Czech Republic) I only asked for a strap for a Casio Rag And Bone and the price for a separate strap is half of the price of the watch! 😂 Crazy!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I like the direction Casio is going with it's vintage collection, but I don't think they're there yet. I would be far more interested in purchasing one of these (and prepared to pay more for it) if the case-back was screw-down and it was made in Japan. I think these are still made in China, like the cheaper G-Shock watches. I would also like a four button layout so that the adjust function is isolated at top left. This has always felt more premium to me than the 3 button layout. I have a vintage Casio W-750 Marlin from the mid 80's which has these features, but without the bulk of a G-Shock. I would love to see Casio release something more aligned to those early no compromise Marlin models. Until then I'll stick to the genuine vintage models and the newer premium G-Shock squares.
Yeah these are made in China. For a retro vintage watch that is 4x the cost of the resin models just for glass+steel+different band, they really should be made elsewhere. Id pay the full $100 for it to be made in Japan, but definitely not China. Malaysia and Thailand like $75. Pretty disappointing.
I agree about the face, there seems to be too much blank space on it because the display area is small. I would have liked to have seen a bit more information or markers or something on that outer display area, to me it looks too sterile. Casio digitals like the F-91W are iconic for their distinctive cluttered faces and I think they should have incorporated some of that design into this.

Cracking watch. Love mine and my A700. New display is awesome. Shadow effect is surely intended after blandness of the original. Casio a special brand
Very nice watch. Small and thin. Looks beautiful.
My first Casio in ages. Love it.
Thanks for this review. I've been really curious about this model and seriously thinking of getting one. It looks a bit like the A700, which I have and really like.
A700 is good itself
Looks awesome. Now they just need to make an "oyster" style bracelet with solid links (not the horrible folded metal links).
Yes,Definitely needs a better bracelet!
Eccellente recensione di questo piccolo gioiellino!!

They need to do metal case versions of the more popular models like the 158 and the 168.
Yep, with Sapphire glass. A 168 gunmetal with metal case and Sapphire glass. I would give a lot of money for such a gem. Would be free money for Casio.
@@joakimdam9723it would basically make them more costly which is not what made them popular in the first place

Very detailed review of the dial. I plan to buy it and swam the belt into bracelet from a158w

@@nitinbhat I haven’t bought a1000. Added some $ and bought Apple Watch SE
@@leks85 oh okay. Congrats on the new watch.
@@nitinbhat it’s smartwatch. I feel like I cheated the watch comunity 😃
@@leks85 😂 even I have an Apple Watch, but I use it only to track my cycling or walking activities. I’m somewhat old school - I still prefer my vintage and inexpensive Casio watches over smartwatches any day.
Seems they are using the bulb system like on the 5000u and 5610u . No
More electro illumination
Hoping someone from you here might help me out. What is the difference between A1000MA-7EF and A1000MA-7VT
I suppose last letters are just a region indicator
very good review, i got a question for you good sir, is the bracelet actually comfortable ? comparing it to the A1000D's
I've not had another A1000, but I can say the bracelet, let most Milanese, is very good for comfort.
So I assume that black, homogenous in color glass with printed frame and few lines of text combined with ss case is still forbidden by horology gods?
What's more beautiful a1000d or this?
It's a shame that there are no gshocks similar in size
I think is is better than G-shocks.. it it compact & built like a tank.. But I still love my vintage casio marlin better than this a1000.. because casio marlin have circle Orings on the case back.. this has awkward gasket at the back which is harder to find & replace..
There are. GM-S5600-1 is 38mm.
Great video just ordered this version got a deal on it for 70 Euro
Get rid of the slide Bracelet!What is the lug length?
I own these Casio and both Casio Rag & Bone versions. Today in my country (Czech Republic) I only asked for a strap for a Casio Rag And Bone and the price for a separate strap is half of the price of the watch! 😂 Crazy!
6:09 Your not sure how they can use it better? Uhhh SOLAR panel?
I would honestly love to see all their digital pieces go solar. I would pay a premium for that
cant decide if this silver or the gold a1000mg :(
The watch to survive an apocalypse

Is this a newer version? I don't remember the Casio brand in the top middle
Yes its the new 2022 version without mother of pearl dial

As much as a want to love it... im just not. Sticking with the a700
Why can’t o set the time to be correct? If I set it on 24 it shows 1am as 13.00 & when I turned it off it showed 1am as 1pm
Order a nice NATO if you order this watch...
The 1bvt version is a lot better looking
Too much text and clutter on that watch, the display could have been bigger in stead. I do not like bling and text clutter on my watch face..
Watch designers lost adequacy long ago
The band looks like an Asian band, aka a too short band that does not fit... average Dutch wrists: 9 inch, not 4 inch..
Not 4inch . I got 7.25 inch flat wrist . Your 9 just full of fat
Too small .
is this the same like the rag and bone colab with saphire
Yes, thé same. But with mineral glass.
