    Received mine today here in Mumbai, India, and cannot hold myself back from looking at it over and over again - beautiful design, stellar display and awesome bracelet - it's all there. As a Casio fan, and a watch collector, I couldn't be happier! The best digital watch money can buy. Period. This is made in Japan bottom up, and the build quality completely justifies the price. Loved your video!

    A saving grace for not having a sapphire crystal is the fact that the mineral crystal is not only flat, it sits above the case slightly. This makes is very easy to apply a screen protector. I've done that for the ease of mine, and it is not even noticeable.

    Always enjoy your reviews and this is no exception. Received my TR50 yesterday, sized it and enjoying. It’s surprisingly charming and has grown on me. Each wear, I find more things about it that keep me coming back. It’s a great watch and was a real sleeper for me.

    I never understood this epidemic of "limited editions" that almost no one can buy. I think they are made specifically for quick profit hunters who sell them for double the next day on eBay.

      No they have the same white / blue light but not a fade in and out like the trn50. They just come on as long as you hold it for the A1000 , they also have a clear point on the top left where the bulb is where as this one has an even spread like the old EL and dims and fades out -much clearer

    Awesome looking watch. I don't usually like digital, but I like this (pity it's sold out, mind you I've spent the 2024 watch budget already😖). Maybe you can't put solar under sapphire so that's why it's mineral????. Great watch, great video, cheers.

    • @CasualWatchReviews
