My Dad still wears his Casio AQ 230 from the 1990s. Even after 30+ years, it functions perfectly well and has only required battery replacements every so often. Due to inflation, the price of this watch has tripled since then, but it's still a great watch.
Theres no doubt the Cartier is classy but personally I'm not a big fan because I'm not keen on numerals all around the dial. However I love Casios and you've blended style and functionality on a budget....winner! I was thinking of picking up an AQ-230 so I'll definitely be trying this. Thanks mate 👍
Thanks as always Rik, appreciate you watching all the videos and always leaving a comment! Great little Casio this one. Super cheap and super versatile
I've got one of these I inherited from my step-dad when he passed last year. I need to get a new battery in there. And mine is slightly different, it has a crown you pull out to set the analog hands on the right side instead of a button.
The title is wrong. It is not that Casio made it, but it is that you have just discovered it. This sort of watches has been available for many years. I have an AQ-222 bought probably in late eighties and it looks the same. Only colours are different.
If stainless steel is a must, I can recommend the Armitron Ridgemont, which comes with the same colors and pricepoint. Theres also the Metro and Flashback which offer some different colors on the same design.
Great little watch. Armitron Grand or their new Flashback new introductions have different colors and is a great alternative to a tank or casio. Just add the leather band.
I've done the same with a SKMEI 1612, so I've taken an homage of a Casio that's apparently a bit of an homage of a Cartier. THe SKMEI actually has a metal case and a mineral crystal.
I would buy Cartier tank because it's rectangular, and because it's slim. It's hard to find watches that are slim. Rectangular and offer that classic vintage look . I've been thinking about buying a titan edge rectangular or a sanda tank . Or Seiko dolce 7740 series watch. This Casio double time is useful as daily driver beat down watch. Rather than a dress watch , the form factor of this watch looks a lot like casios regular watches like a158w or f91w . And it matches the Seiko dolce series a lot too. Honestly if you're at the budget of 20/30 euro. And you don't mind buying a clone/knock off you should go with sanda tank, the ladies version is almost identical to must de Cartier. Or if you got a little big budget, you should go for the Seiko dolce series. And buy this watch shown in video as a daily driver watch , something that's versatile . With leather strap you can wear it everyday and pull off the look of Cartier tank . But it doesn't match the dimensions if you know what I mean. By no means it's close to jlc Reverso, or Cartier tank. It pays a homage to the Cartier tank in a different manner, similar to the Seiko dolce series watches
The Casio Analog LTP-V007L-7B2UDF a great alternative, the Casio LTP-V007L-9B is a women’s watch but has the same dimensions and $5 cheaper. Both have Roman numerals.
Very beautiful watch for its price!,but analog time adjust a little bit slow😂. Demonstration by wear it is the right choice, cuz i think most ppl want to see how its look when wear it.
@TopTierTicker 😵🥺 wish it was real steel atleast coloured in gold....this i realized afrer getting my b650 all black version i thought the case was steel coated in black but its plastic coated in black🙊 i felt disappointed after that so i am going to be more careful wish casio now after that experience
If theres no digital part on the watch it would be very classy dress watch. I dont take any watch with digital part serious when it comes to classy 🤷🏻♂️
Not bad. Again, its one of the models that's a little more on the nose with the design cues. I personally prefer this model as it has a lot of functionality with the digital display but still looks elegant. But great suggestion and thanks for watching
Great review! I wanted to get this version first, as a Cartier tank alternative, but then I saw the model LTP B165 (th-cam.com/video/AVIe4_PVUsU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=SEFWRk0ZZMIsYbnS) and that one looks more like a Cartier Tank. It has a higher price, but I think that one has that Cartier tank aestetic. I only found just one review about it on TH-cam, so people don’t know anything about it yet. And they are too hard to find outside Europe.

how much was it back then?
For everyone looking for the strap size: 18mm
Thank you! I found the size in searching on the web…lol! Wish I had scrolled a lil more to see this comment. Thank you
Thank you
Thank you!
Dude, more of this. Your attitude about the watch game is refreshing.

Indeed they have. However I haven't seen anybody make a video about how switching out the strap on these really changes the whole look and experience

Mate, I saw this on your Instagram and I was instantly sold! Need to order myself one 😩
Unfortunately I'm not classy enough to get the most out of it, killer combo though 👌
We staying la? After tonight I can't see it 😬
That watch band just gives it a lil more umph. Thank you for this video
what size strap is needed?

I have this casio and followed this. It's great! I am happy I saw your video ❤
Good man! I hope you enjoy the great watch my friend
Perfect dressy everyday watch for not much money at all. Definitely a great idea.
this is genius! just bought ! but I got a green leather strap
I have this model! Ordered the strap to switch it up thank you it looks great
Whats the size of the strap?

I love youuuuuu. I was looking for a budget cartier and suddenly you i see this. Alhamdulillah.

Casio should release a green dial similar to the new Santos. That would be a game changer! I just bought the turquoise and it’s stunning!!
The Casio Analog LTP-V007L-7B2UDF a great alternative, the Casio LTP-V007L-9B is a women’s watch but has the same dimensions and $5 cheaper. Both have Roman numerals.
Great shout to stick it on a strap! I’ve got this one so might try a swap out . Cartier a stretch though ;)
Try it our for sure, looks the bees knees. Haha I know it's a bit of a stretch but it is now the tank in my personal collection 😆
Very beautiful watch for its price!,but analog time adjust a little bit slow😂.
Demonstration by wear it is the right choice,
cuz i think most ppl want to see how its look when wear it.
I like this. The Fossil Carraway 3 Hand should be considered as well.
Too many sharp corners for. me.
How to change the strap tho?
Where can I find the strap?
It’s beautiful with the leather strap.
The case is steel or plastic ?
Reminds me of an 80s Seiko Dolce
With that strap you made it look much much better. 🔥🔥
Whats the width of the strap??? Is it 18mm or 20mm??? I also want to change the strap of my tiffany blue AQ 230 with a black leather strap
18mm mate :)
The Seiko SWR049 is also a nice alternative.
which casio type is this?
Great review mate,is the watch face white or gold?
It's between the two. Metallic white with a tint of gold!
If the buckle was gold it fit that watch so nicely.
Does the gold plating scratch showing the steel very easy?
Nope. Still looks great
How do you install the black strap?
I wish they made a version with golden/off-white dial, sadly its gold/gold
Man this is great thank you 🙏🏾
Would this look good on a brown leather strap? also do you recommend someone who can mod this in a sapphire crystal?
Can confirm that it looks great with brown. I have an Armitron Ridgemont in gold, with a dark brown lizard strap and it looks great!
@@SilverSpade92 thanks man
There is no need to compare this Casio to any watch, because it beats everything. :D
this gave me a nice idea..thanks
What is the size of the strap you used? on this video
18mm buddy
Thanks sir!
The heritage and history of Casio watches beats any Patek Philipe and Rolex by far. Casio watches are for Sigma males!😎
Are you brain dead
and females and enbies :3
Hello how can i get a strap like that?
18mm alligator grain watch strap. You'll be able to find them on amazon/AliX
@@TopTierTicker i just found it ,ty you 😉
Is the case made of plastic and painted in gold color? Or its a steel case?
Plastic case with a shiny coat of paint
@TopTierTicker 😵🥺 wish it was real steel atleast coloured in gold....this i realized afrer getting my b650 all black version i thought the case was steel coated in black but its plastic coated in black🙊 i felt disappointed after that so i am going to be more careful wish casio now after that experience
What size strap is needed ?
18mm
Where did you find for $30?
More like 40$
Llooks good, i just wish they would remove digital display, it looks really tacky and not classy at all
What’s the strap size?
18mm 👌
@@TopTierTicker lug width?
It would've been better without the digital watch. They should've made another version of it without the digital.
I think they did at one point, but it was a limited run iirc.
Wow
A digital window and buttons on a Cartier tank? Ridiculous.
I know, it's ridiculous! This cheap little Casio has way more functionality than the 3 grand Cartier. Ridiculous!
I don't like it in gold....
Can you put NATO on it?
Yes
If theres no digital part on the watch it would be very classy dress watch. I dont take any watch with digital part serious when it comes to classy 🤷🏻♂️
wheres u get that lesther strap?
Or you can just buy a casio LTP-1234PGL-7A2
Not bad. Again, its one of the models that's a little more on the nose with the design cues. I personally prefer this model as it has a lot of functionality with the digital display but still looks elegant. But great suggestion and thanks for watching
isn't it a women watch?

thank about your information. I think Ltp b165 looks too similar cartier tank. So aq 230 version is much better, more unique anyway thank you
These watches are ruined with the date box there’s no need for it at all
It's a casio man! That's what makes it cool!
It's not date box, alam, stopwatch, dual time and date day is shown. And very useful imo
bro ur gloves is so cringe, just take them off lol
Look much better on leather strap
Agreed!
Have you lost it???
Cartier has no dual time nor shape nor anything.
Watch the video, I address all of this.
