The dial/face looks like it is black in this video due to the lighting condition. I guess the studio lights made it look like that. I’ll try to get some shots in natural light for the full review.
Thanks for this video! And nice to see a Singaporean making videos on watches. I’ve been looking at the A700 for a while now, and I guess, I have to make a quick purchase after seeing the A700 video from Ben’s Watch Club, and now, this video. 😁
Hey man, thanks for dropping by! I was also watching Ben’s video on the A700. It led to my purchase. But you know what? I’m actually quite underwhelmed by it so far. Can’t pinpoint why exactly but I suspect it is due to the mirror surface of the dial/face. As a result of the reflection, the watch almost never looks like what we see in promo photos or studio shots. I hope my full review will give you some alternate views of this model. Stay tuned.

I like this new dial design. 👍🏼
It looks clean and classy.👍
Why is the is black and the ones online are silver?
It looks black here due to the lighting. Maybe natural light will show the silver.
I will address that in my full review.
Waiting for Casio to give us a proper (A168W) stainless steel digital watch. Probably this will never happen but whatever 🤷♂️
You never know. They just did the Casiotron so they may just make all these iconic models in full metal versions one day.
