@@WondersofWatchdom put them in the video's description
@@lulul Thanks for the advice - I did that!
@@WondersofWatchdom you might want to add some watch list from your previous watch review as well bud.
@@WondersofWatchdom this CASINO is going to be my next favorite watch.
Do you have any videos on musical music box watches ? 🎼
This is how watches should be reviewed, with stories, context and memories. At the end of the day, that's what it is all about. Thanks WoW!
These videos really are something else. The best on youtube by a far margin in my opinion.
@@d3xmeister agreed what you said casio watches are like timex they are built to take the punishment
Agreed. Its more personal, more useful and interesting than pure "technical description" reviews.
A comment on the water resistance of the F-91w:
I have tested all of my Casio watches in a pool for an extensive period (an F-91w, an F-84w, a CA-53w, and an A700), and ALL OF THEM as it turns out are waterproof, not just splash resistant. They all functioned submerged without trouble, and even operation of the pushers (against Casio's recommendation) caused no trouble. I even did a math equation on the CA-53w while underwater!
Casio is notorious for under rating their aquatic performance.
I imagine this is because the buttons can wear out and lose their waterproofness. If you use the buttons a lot there would be the risk that could happen. Japanese companies tend to be very careful about making promises if they can be false under somewhat unlikely circumstances. Even if those promises would be true 99% of the time.
Some youtube reviewer said that the F-91w takes showers without any issue.
I do spearfishing and use my f91w all the time been using it for like 4 years.
I have the f84w also and have worn it in the shower almost every day for the last year. It's the perfect around the house watch.
@@mariomendez7727 this is a meaningful comment. how deep did you take it to?
This watch also allows you to set 4 time zones. You can hit just the SEARCH button to cycle through the 4 time zones. You can make any of them the main time zone by pressing the ADJUST and LIGHT buttons at the same time. This is a VERY NICE feature for a travel watch.
another reason the Casio World Time is referred to as the Casio Royale and associated with James Bond is its' passing resemblance to a watch that James Bond actually wore in Octopussy, the Seiko G757 Sports 100. The Casio round display in the upper left corner resembles the Seiko layout. Since the G757 is generally not available, the Casio is a good proxy for a watch that James Bond might actually have worn!
It's nice to see that after quite some years with heavy uses, the silver paint on plastic case still hold up without any noticeable scratch. Impressive.
After all this lore, now you just made want to wear an F-91 W
It's almost a pity that your uploads are so few and far between. The presentation is stellar and you may have the best general taste of any and all watch channels.
Btw. my World Time runs +/-1 second per month so I'd still cry for that thing. Could be stranded on an island for 5 years and would still be more punctual than a Swiss watchmaker.
The reviews are few and far between, but that kind of makes them more special when a new video is uploaded.
I got one around the time I first watched this video and it's now been to 4 continents and ~10 countries and served me well.
Love it! Glad to hear it’s been a great travel watch for you too.
Best travel-watch video ever! Love your videos - well shot, entertaining and informative. They feel like 5 minutes.
This is total value review..Real experience while using it, with footage of your real travelling experience, I don't realise that I stay for the video until it finished. Bravo!
When my job requires travel, this is my daily watch. It's light , comfortable and very practical. It's really a perfect travel watch with the world time and the alarms. Easy to use and set.
this is exactly why I purchased this Casio Royale. It is my travel partner. love your reviews and thanks for the informative contents.
I traveled across the USA and Mexico coast to coast with my CASIO WORLD TIME it swam in the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean and still running strong
Just watched the video wearing my Casio Royale World Timer (All black 🖤). I recently took a road trip on my motorcycle and took 4 of my watches with me (Orient Ray 2, Bambino V2, Seiko SRPE43 and Casio Royale World Timer). I spent so much time worrying about the safety of my watches that I couldn't enjoy most of it. I made a mistake. Silver lining? I wore the Casio the most. I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said. This is a great travel watch. Thank you for your amazing content. I don't miss a video that you publish.
I have a request that you make a video of your travels. I'm sure people would love it.
Yesterday I picked one up on clearance at a big box store for $7. I was going to clean them out, but I saw a couple kids looking at them as well, so I left a few for them. I've got a decent (14) collection of G-Shocks, an Oceanus T-2610, and a variety of of other Casio's. So I am a bit of a Casio fan, but this one somehow slipped under my radar. I am really liking this watch. It's very legible and comfortable. And it just looks really cool.
$7?? Damn, that's a total bargain. I just paid about $35 for one!
As always! Fantastic review with tons of information!
Thank you very much! Love your videos!
I'm currently wearing a Casio AE -1200 WHD on my wrist . I haven't tested it on trips abroad yet, but I'll give it a try on my trip to Pitești in the end of March.
Really love your approach and thoroughness. Hope to see more. Subscribed. Thank you! This watch is my go-to travel watch as well.
Beautiful watch mate and wonderfully informative video!
Excellent review, mate. Keep them coming.
I really enjoyed and learned a lot from this video. I can relate to both Casio watches featured, as I own both of them.
Thank you!! ☺️👍
This will replace my Apple Watch for travel. Apple Watch is great but a really high maintenance travel companion. This would have done FAR better on my recent Kenya trip. Thanks for a great review!
Have had a CA-53W with a crack for a while, and it's handled countless splashes and plunges just fine. Love these calculator watches!
It's nice to see that you are still making videos!
Outstanding review, thank you very much. I have this watch in the all black style, but now I'm going to buy the one you featured as I think it's so much better looking. Casio makes some incredible watches for very reasonable prices. I have several and all have been fenomenal. Thank you again for your great videos 🙏👍👏
It's always a pleasant surprise when I see a new video from Wonders of Watchdom in my subscriptions box. The way you review watches is so in-depth, thoughtful, and refreshing (compared to the majority of watch channels). Keep up the good work!
HEY there you are!!! I love your channel, I really like your thoroughness and explanation of the watches and I've been waiting for you to upload! Clicked so fast I almost cracked my screen! Keep up the good work and take as long as you need between videos, as long as the quality doesn't wane, I can wait around all year! Keep it up
I really enjoyed watching this video. I haven't felt entertained like this in years.
Thanks, man! I love your videos
Love ur videos...great job ....u kept us waiting but worth the wait
Glad to see you back. I really enjoy your prose, editing and narration. More of this, please!
I bought this watch in preparation for a trip to Australia and it was amazing to have. I didn't even know everyone thought this watch was great until long after I purchased it
This is one of the best videos for this type of casio watch.
This video was soooooo great !! Thank you !!
Crazy, I drive truck, one time I left home for a 5 day trip and left my daily watch home, when I got to my first end of day stop there was a Walmart within walking distance and this is the exact watch I bought to be my beater travel watch. All of the points in your video are spot on.
Interesting insights into a watch I'd never have thought about.
I think that it’s also a great conversation piece. It looks much more expensive. Enjoyed your video. Thanks.
Great video! Loved the end story.
I watch your reviews even when I'm not interested in the watch, so seeing one I'm actually interested in had me clicking so fast! Good work man, the storytelling you put in and the travel footage adds so much to the video.
That money flex at the end was very cool
Many thanks for this clever and useful review! I really enjoyed it.
I lost this watch a couple of years ago and now i know what the name is ! When u used it it was the best watch ever
It's absolutely great, unorthodox, useful, and cool watch. I have several watches like Tissots, Citizens, etc. and all black version of this model. Suprisingly, when I wear this one, it grabs people's attention rather than my swiss made watches
Thanks for your review. I ended up getting this same model with the bracelet. I like it, have done a small mod to remove the "world time and illuminator" from the bezel, did it with a rubber eraser, looks a bit more classy now. I think I'll remove the module and take the "10 Year Battery and 5 Alarms" off to the make it less cluttered. I bought a screen protector with it. It doesn't really pill my arm hairs like I expected it to. The functions are great, I use all.of them. I'm happy with this purchase. Your review helped me decide to get it, thanks.
Best long form commercial for a watch ever. Anybody else want one now? Casio should pay you for this lol. Love your content please keep producing!
"Casio, are you reading this?" lol.
I really like your videos. Thanks for this gem.
Thanks I appreciate that!
The world time function also has a quick swap function to change between the world time (the timezone you are traveling to) and the home time (press both top buttons at the same time when on the desired time zone) and also has quick access to the 4 configurable timezones accessible with the lower right button when in time mode.. These are both very usefull when traveling (especially for those who travel frequently between the same timezones)..
Got a gift recently by my girlfriend. Always wanted this classic. Timezones feature is I liked instantly to set timezones of all footballing arenas and my workplace.
The thumbnail surprised me because this is the watch I've been wearing every day for nearly ten years! I've never seen anyone else talk about it before. You won't find a better watch in my opinion
That F-91W fact has blown my mind😂
Awesome review.
As an artist I always want to buy something like this. Ordering it right away.
Thank you so much and keep the good work
I’ve got two…all black and silver like yours. A great watch and also my travel watch of choice.
Fantastic storytelling as usual. Keep making those videos. Always something new to learn and really well done presentation. Your channel definitely stands out.
Love this review I own this beautiful watch for a year and that’s my work watch it holds its own really good
This is a great review. Very very good.
Casio watches have been a long time favorite of mine, very tough, affordable, and they just last forever.
I really like the story telling with watches I’m ordering in Amazon now from Dubai it’s very relatable when you say stolen in hotels
Probably the best watch review I've seen.
That was a great review. I have this watch and totally agree with all your points. Very well done..
The Casio DW-291 is my designated travel watch over the AE-1200, for one reason - the 200m water resistance. Otherwise, it does everything the AE1200 does. The Casio Royale is still pretty great. I plan on modding mine to a steel case/sapphire crystal.
Really nice video!
Thanks, great review. You convinced me to buy one. 👍🏽
My Friend, I love your Videos,
Please do more of them.
Greetings from Germany
Danke schoen! I appreciate that and I'll certainly be doing more.
One of the best tips I’ve ever seen on TH-cam…
i watched a full 20 mins video of a channel i never heard of about watches , i dont even wear watches ,pretty neat content .
Man this is a greeat great review of a watch i have seen so far,.
Specially the fact about the watch being a target. I always thought of it. Like how people wear expensive things and walk around with it
Well done. Ordered using your link. Thanks.
Interesting information about the F-91w, I wear one all the time but I'm definitely gonna buy a world timer now also. Nice review.
I wouldn't recommend wearing an F-91W, especially in the US
@@videoms1271 why (i don't live in the US tho)
@@VihaanBelani bomb related thing
@@panduilmiprastyanto9079 yeah ik about that but i don't think 60% of them wouldn't even notice that
@@panduilmiprastyanto9079 by the same logic you shouldn't drive a Toyota pickup truck anymore, just because ISIS seems to love those things.
Bc of you I bought Casio Royale, and the Timex expedition scout. Your videos realy help me a lot of choosing what to buy. But here in europe the watches where way more expensive. For the casio i paid 35$ and for the timex around 70$... Timex is my first watch was overpriced, but i love that watch!! Thanks for the reviews!!
I have a small watch collection.. seikos, orients, some vintage mechanicals.
This Casio is the cheapest one I have yet gets by far the most wristime. Very light compared to an auto, cool retro style, tough as nails, accurate.. run with it, swim with it.
It's just a fantastic all around watch.
Such an entertaining and informative review.
I have a Citezen Eco Skyhawk and a Tissot Solar Touch. Both these watches are perfect for travel because it tracks time zones. You are right, if I were to travel to another country, I would rather wear this and lose or someone steal it, than one of the other two I have.
I love the orange backlighting
By the way, you should really make more videos. Great narrative, fantastic voice
An excellent alternative if you want the 91w form factor but want to look less like a bad guy is the A168. Still $20 or less, stainless steel band, it's slightly larger and features an electroluminescent backlight.
I really enjoyed your review. It was a change from other typical watch reviews which are all about the materials, movements, and size. Yours seemed to feature how the watch exists in the "environment", which was interesting. Though having said that, I would have liked to know a bit about the sizing, e.g., fit on the wrist (under a shirt), and the ability to see the display (Too small? or Large enough to see easily). But then that would be a typical review. :)
Great review. I just bought this watch ⌚️
I have only four reasons:
Cheap (easy to replace).
Timer (I use it a lot in my work).
10 atm water resist
10 years battery (no need to open the watch "ever" so the water resist is also at least 10 years).
This creator should deserve better recognition
Un super reloj, gracias por el video
I have that exact same one and the Skmei gold homage of it. Love them both.
Deserve a like, much information I didn't even know I needed 😂😂😂
What a great review 😊 sure thinking of getting one
My grandpa got me this watch when it came out in 2012 so I could keep track of the time as a new freshman in high school. I never really wore it, I wasn’t into watches at the time. So of course, I lost it pretty quickly.
Fast forward to 2023 and I see one of my coworkers wearing the exact same watch. “Oh yeah I’ve had mine since sophomore year of high school, 2012. Best watch ever.
I just got a new one this morning lol I plan to mod tf out of it. So crazy how I treated this diamond like a piece of coal. I’ve caught the watch bug BAD. So far all I have are Casios, and I don’t really feel like I’ll need anything else.
Great story! Nice to hear that you rediscovered this one. You’ll be happy with it I’m sure.
@@WondersofWatchdom oh boy it’s my favorite watch lol I got a few mods for it.
It’s actually the one watch people seem to notice, I get compliments on it all the time.
Instant like! I love your videos
Nice! Thank you.
I’m sorry you haven’t continued this channel. You have the best watch reviews of any channels out there. And the numbers for the channel are actually fantastic given the numbers of videos and the time between them. Hopefully you are doing OK, and maybe someday you’d consider doing more videos, they will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I was almost done a new video and had my phone pickpocketed with all the footage on it. After that I got a bit lazy. New video coming soon though. Thank you for the comment!
@@WondersofWatchdom If you had an iPhone you could have traced the final destination of you phone could you not? Just wondering.
@@penggoh9934 most people turn that feature off
I appreciate you showing us the doggo at 12:43
I apologize to everyone for the long time since my last video. It's been a crazy year so far! Hope you enjoy this one.

Excellent and informative
Great review!
One concern you didn't seem to mention is the potential when hoisting shoulder straps over your shoulder, and other travel related activities, of snagging your watch and having the strap come loose, which usually leads to your watching hitting the floor hard, and maybe being lost. When I travel I wear an orange Seiko SKX-007 on a fabric NATO strap. That way if one pin gets bent and comes out of socket, the watch remains on my wrist.
Regarding travelling with a watch-icon, I once greeted some hikers in the Great Smokey Mountain national park and noticed one of them, a senior citizen, had on a Rolex submariner. I mentioned it before our brief conversation ended. (I always take a break to talk to passersby on the trails). He said he wore it all the time, never took it off. It was a very expensive TOOL watch, and I guess he justified owning it by always wearing it. I was just a little surprised he didn't have a sacrificial watch to wear in the back-country like that. My tool-watch is a Hamilton Khaki.
Great watch....I'm wearing mine now.....love it.😀😺
Thank you for the interesting review, couldn't agree more as I personally use one as a tool watch being a cabin crew. One of the pilots had one too on my last flight which goes to show it is appreciated by all travelers and flight and cabin crews. One do it all watch that could be perfected if radio controlled and solar powered but it would probably kill the cost advantage and 10 year of battery life allows for a lot of travelling without caring too much about you battery dying.
There are several Casio WaveCeptor models that are radio-controlled and still priced under $60. I use one for workout that is priced around $29 but it is not solar powered WV-58A. Another WaveCeptor I owned had a stainless steel bracelet and typically sells for $37 WV58DA. For both, there is always the GWM5610 G-Shock, Multiband6, Tough Solar in black resin that is $98. It's a classic and pretty rugged overall.
Great video, cool watch 👏👏👏👏👏
I love the way of review
Excellent video
Not to be rude at all but... what do you do? It’s really interesting that you’ve travelled a lot, and to unique places. You busted out the metal detector and I was like “who is this guy???” Hahaha. I agree with other people here, you have the most interesting and thoughtful takes on watches in your reviews. I actually like the longer format for this reason too. Thanks for the content, and keep posting please!
Great video - thanks!
>>It doesn’t looks expensive so they won’t steal it
>>It looks expensive so they won’t downgrade my flight
It looks classy and not cheap, but also not worth robbing someone for.
