Thanks for watching guys! What do you think about the watch? Minimalist and stylish, or a bit of a "plain Jane"? Cheers!
casio is just the toyota of the watch world. dependable, reliable, not flashy, affordable.
Very well said!
You need a reliable watch that you're not afraid to break? This is it. Casio is amazing both in how simple or complex their lineup can be. I have the 24 hour faceplate but it's still as simple as it gets.
Very well described!! Thanks for watching 👍👍
I wear this watch on a daily basis and it's chuffin' brilliant! Light, quiet, easy to read and really accurate. It is - quite simply - a design classic.
Agree with you 100% and it's a great bargain as well, thanks for watching!
Same ! Love it!
@@TimeForAnotherWatch Good watch,weak strap
@@alfching2499 The strap on mine is still in very good condition and it's easy to replace when the time comes. Thanks for watching!!
I bought a casio v-006 for $30 7 years ago using my first allowance in college. Im already working now and the watch is still with me everyday. Definitely a great buy if you want something affordable and durable.
Casio are a great and affordable option for a daily wearer that will last for many years. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic watch. I have had mine for years bought in the mid 90s. I swim and shower in it, though I believe I shouldnt. It has taken abuse from waves while sailing. It often gets knocked with DIY. I have changed batteries a time or two, and had one new strap. I really like it. It looks good, it is light, and ultra reliable. as an old guy who is in and out of glasses for reading, a digital watch doesnt work for me as I have to reach for reading glasses. This one is very clear and I can read it without any problems. 😀Great that its still in production.
It's very difficult to fault this one at the price, thanks for watching 👍👍
This watch would be perfect for a preteen and get them started on wearing a watch. Nice clean dial. Strap is simple but effective. Color combination is classic. This will outlast any smart watch today or tomorrow and its analog. I'm surprised how many kids can't read analog watches or clocks. Long tangent aside. Great watch!
Nice video.
Cheers!
Thanks Angel! I agree, I'd definitely prefer to see someone wearing this watch, rather than a smart watch and it will almost definitely outlast one. Thanks for watching mate!
Your watch review videos are my favourite on TH-cam, keep doing what you're doing!
Thank you!
This is the best watch for a mechanic: small so it won't get stuck in tight places and doesn't hinder shirt sleeves movement, completely plastic so there is no danger of short circuiting, dial with good legibility even in low lighting, cheap so no worries if you knock it on something hard and break it.
It's definitely a very versatile watch and great value, thanks for watching 👍👍
@@TimeForAnotherWatch I still have scars on my wrist because used to have a watch with metal bracelet which I accidentally put between 24 volt battery terminals... Sparks flew and metal bracelet became red hot in a nanosecond! I learned my lesson and after that episode I have been using all plastic Casio at work.
@@Boerje69 Oh man ... I'm really sorry to hear that happened. I'd never even considered the risk of wearing a metal watch under the hood of a car.
I'll be honest here, very ballsy review, and well done for doing it🙂👍 I think the watch community needs to understand that quality can be found at really Great prices.
I've bought 3 Casio watches recently that really punch well above their weigh(,along with other more expensive watches) I love Casio and they have such a massive catalogue you really can't get bored collecting them for amazing prices. Anyway short and sweet but total respect🙂👍
Thanks, your comments are really appreciated👍 I currently own 6 Casios, from £8 to £60 and I've been really impressed by the value for money they offer. I love Casio as a brand and it's great that they seem to offer something for everyone. Thanks for watching!
Although it's not the same font, everything else about this watch reminds me of the IBM clock (1947), which I saw around quite a lot since I worked for IBM decades ago. IBM had a basic design aesthetic which involved form following function, and in this case function means to make the clock face as readable as possible at a distance. This watch face is readable also, and striking in its stark simplicity. So for me, it reminds me of 1950s design, but it's also the anti-Rolex, the VW Beetle to the Mercedes.
Interesting comments, thanks for watching!
"A watch that embodies modesty and simplicity, lightweight and reasonably priced, once chosen by the Pope and designed similar to Steve Jobs' watch."
I've worn watches like this specifically because they are easy to replace.
Between replumbing the house, building some new outbuildings, replacing fence posts, and maintaining various pieces of sh--... uh, machinery... on the homestead, I like to relax by pulling and rebuilding the diesel in my F350, readjusting the weather station for the upteenth time, building new garage doors, and replacing every last bit of the wiring from the 30A exterior outlets all the way to the main breaker of the house because the g--d--n m--------king Evil Space Monkeys that did the original work used stranded wire instead of solid 10 gauge.
So yeah, I'm a little hard on my watches. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for watching! That's some heavy duty DIY you're doing there buddy! Sounds like you and your watches are very busy! All the best.
This other version has military and standard time, plus yellow face: Casio MQ24-9B. I believe it is "cooler". On the other hand, as you certainly already know, the real nasty cheap Casio beater is the Casio HDA600B , with its wire bumper, lumed hands, 100M WR, 10 year battery, and a lil bigger case. It even improves a lot with a wider watch band. All the best, mate.
I really like the MQ24-9B also and I agree that it does look cool. I looked for one of those but the price was much higher than the MQ24-7B, maybe that's because the MQ24-9B is more collectable?? The HDA600B is not really my cup of tea either, IMHO it would look better without the wire. Thanks for watching mate!
Looks pretty good and would make an ideal beater for everyday wear. Very nice 👍
Cheers mate, definitely a good choice for someone who wants a low cost every day watch. Thanks for watching 👍
veryyyy great watch, really light watch and durable, love it🥰
A great watch for the money!
I just bought this watch thinking it was a lil larger than it wears, even on my slimish 6 1/2 wrist it's most definately a kid sized watch. Strange thing is my watch has 4 screws holding the back on. I also have a MW24bll the orange version as my beater. My good watches are seiko snk809 and an sna411 though im not a seiko fan or a collector, unless i see a watch i like. Good show, good review.
Cheers mate that's appreciated, those two Seikos are very nice collectors pieces. Thanks for watching!
Love Casios! Now where can I get on of those Gromet statuettes (1:38)?
Same here, love Casios! I've had the Gromit for many years, so sorry but I can't remember where it came from. Thanks for watching!
Basic, does the job and that's what makes this a great choice in your collection
Cheers mate, I'm well pleased with it for the price. Thanks for watching!
@@TimeForAnotherWatch no problem 😊
Pope watch choice
Would be great for a work beater or like you said gardening diy 😀
Exactly! At this kind of price, it's not the end of the day if it gets damaged. Thanks for watching!
My model which is identical to the one in video has only gained ONE second in the past three weeks! It's so accurate I think it might be broke!
Lol 😀Glad to hear it's so accurate, thanks for watching!
What Casio suppose to make is the MQ24 Mickey Mouse version and yet I would love to see that and yet as Mickey Mouse watches are made by various companies, Casio only made a G Shock Mickey Mouse watch, but then the MQ24 Mickey Mouse version will have Casio have the MQ24 to outsell the G Shock while Disney makes money in the process for every MQ24 that Casio makes and sells.
That means money for Casio and money for Disney, that means when Casio begin to boost sales of the MQ24 for a new version Disney makes a profit.
This watch is small enough for Micky to actually wear 🤣
Great review
Thanks!
Looks fine imo 👍got one myself and I got 7in wrist
Thanks, it looks better on my wrist than I expected. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, agreed, for all the folks with >6.5+" wrists, these "small" watches do NOT look too small on your wrists! They really look good, and the simple dial and layout really works for this model.
@@nplus1watches35 The larger watches we have today just reflect current fashion. I have a few vintage pieces that are all in the 32-34mm range. Thanks for watching!
Is casio mq24 can be used in swimming on the ocean and hiking?
For hiking it should be OK but not for swimming, it doesn't have enough water resistance. Thanks for watching 👍
Can i use this as a dress watch
Thanks for watching friend! I think this watch is intended for casual use, rather than formal use.
If the second hand weren't missing the marks, this would be a sure buy for me. Btw this is the watch the current pope has been seen sporting.
I know what you mean about the second hand missing the markers. Maybe it was just mine and other examples would be better ... I don't know. Yeah this pope wears a Casio, pope John Paul II wore a Rolex!!!
What is POPE FRANCIS'S casio watch❔
Yes, it is this watch! It has a nickname of "The Pope Watch"!! Thanks for watching 👍👍
do you know any casio watches that are similar looking but bigger?
Yes my friend, you might want to check out the Casio MW-240. Thanks for watching 👍👍
@TimeForAnotherWatch thanks! what do you think would look more proportional to a 7-inch wrist? The MW-240 or the MW-59 🤔🤔
@@jyunichii It's a matter of personal taste as to whether you like smaller or larger watches. I have a 7.25" wrist and I would choose the MW240.
How is mw240
I havent owned the MW240 but I've heard that it's a very good value for money watch.
You can’t get much more basic than this👍
Definitely and it's perfect for someone who likes their watches to be functional, simple and low cost. Thanks for watching!
MW-240 would be better for you, it has a larger diameter.
Thanks for the info!
There is a larger version.
Appreciate the info, I'll check it out, thanks for watching!
New seller on Ali Express with steel dive 1970 and 75 for 55 dollar's. Are they legit?
That sounds VERY cheap to me. I think you're correct to be wary about this.
Just like the F91-W, for $5-15 more, you can have a much better watch from Casio. That said, I'm a true hypocrite wearing my $20 quartz Cartier Tank homage for the last month and loving it.
Just goes to show you don't have to spend a lot if you don't want to, to buy a great watch! Thanks for watching 👍👍
