I love the suggestion.

The Vibration Alarm ones are also a decent G-Shock killer. 100M WR, G-Shock fixed lip strap, protected screen, double white LED with a big button up front, and the size of a standard round G, for only about $25.
Casio has lots of great options for cheap watches that are durable enough for kids, but don't cost as much as a G-Shock. Also, G-Shocks are huge on kid arms. All of the watches in the video are solid choices, depending on one's priorities. Love the Beetlejuice notebook, too.
I've had mine for about 6 weeks now, with the positive display (the backlight works much better on this one). I actually find myself staring at the 10-second animation a lot! At first I was skeptical about how comfortable the band would be, but after the first wear, it feels just fine on my 7" wrist. I know it won't be as rugged as a G-Shock, but it works for me and adds to my collection! Great video as always!!!
My second day with this..... no its not a G Shock, but once you get past that it's a little lovely..... for the price...
I have a lot of casios included GShock..... but I really like this :)
I got a negative display one. And as a Casio fan, most people don't care about 'if the watch is going to stand extreme shocks and water and mud and all that stuff'. 90% casio lovers probably don't do these kind of extreme jobs. Most are the collectors and collectors in my opinion buys watches based on their looks and antiquity 😊(at keast casio collectors) my thoughts
The Casio G Shock killer is and has always been the Casio DW-290 The Tom Cruise Mission Impossible Watch
I wonder why they don’t put a G-Shock module into that case & make it a true G-Shock? I bet it’d sell.
@@chriscon8463 in all honesty, it is probably one of the most rugged non G-Shock casios. but it is also sorta uncomfortable over long periods wearing it, and it's got a face only a mother could love.
I like it too but if you look at it wrong, the paint begins to chip off
@@brianmccord7387 I've had mine for about 5 years now wearing it to work, taken a beating. very little paint has come off
@@jamespetkwitz8737 I’m glad to hear that, unfortunately I have not had such luck
I’m a little late to this video but my favorite pseudo-G is actually the DW 291 which looks like a budget king of G, has a lot of functions, and also sports a 200 m water resistance and what they call a heavy duty build. Perhaps the most welcome feature is the brightest amber illumination I have seen on a cheap Casio.
Amazing video as usual. My suggestion for a budget Casio apart from the ones in this video would be Casio DW-291HX. It has pretty much everything you need- 10 year battery, 200M water resistance instead of 100M, World timer and the standard alarm, stopwatch and timer. It is a rugged watch, looks kinda like a G-SHOCK and it has 2 Amber led lights.
Realistically, most of us are rarely going to put our watches in "only gshock need apply" territory - Casios, not just gshocks, are pretty tough watches that are sufficient 99% of the time. But you don't have to "hard use" a watch to scuff an unprotected resin glass, and if you do use it hard, that resin will be practically opaque in a few months time. Gshocks get away with using mineral glass instead of sapphire, and still retaining their reputation for toughness, because of the way the bezel protects the glass (although I think any gshock over $175 SHOULD come with sapphire anyway; there's no excuse for ANY watch at that price to NOT have the best glass option available, not when some manufacturers, including Casio, have offered sapphire on much cheaper watches). But as far as this watch goes, that unprotected resin glass alone takes it out of the running as a "gshock killer"; forget hard use, that's going fail rather quickly under moderate use.
Great review, i bought 2 of them when they first came out. At first I was really keen, mainly due to the cool graphic display. I didn't like the strap much so swapped it for the stainless steel bracelet from a Casio AE-1200WH, it goes quite nicely with the stainless steel case cover. I also removed the black lettering and realised that the exposed metal is a slightly yellow colour, (base metal not stainless steel?) Also the cover itself is only fixed to the plastic case with double sided sticky tape so not sure how long it'll be before it falls off. Agreed the light is a bit of a let down having only one LED unlike the AE-1200👍
Casios cheaper line of watches are brilliant in many cases. I’ve had the WS210H for years and the features on it are nuts all for around £25 or something. Moon phase. Tide graph that changes between spring and neap tides without finding out the longitude and latitude of where you are, world time solar… and all the other features you know and love from Casio.
Wait, WHAT! A casio you haven't heard off? If you haven't heard of it, it ain't worth getting, lol. I'll stick to my 5610.
Great video as always 👍
Definitely gets close to the look of a G Shock but it lacks those extra features and the construction that makes a G Shock so capable. I’ve got a couple of Casios with a similar strap and they do dig into your wrist where as G Shock straps are far more comfortable.
Awesome show MWC 👍
Superb and thorough review! I have a Casio Worldtimer, but no G-Shock yet. While this is a cool watch; it will not displace a G-Shock from the "to acquire list". Thanks for such great content!
Just viewed your video, great content as always, but here's something that a lot of people miss. The flat crystal (acrylic) is a lot easier to polish out when flat with the bezel. I have a AE1200 which has a similar inlay and having no corners to negotiate is gives an even finish when polished. Also I use a low grit metal polish called Peek, it is excellent for getting out the deeper marks and then use Polywatch for the final finish. The results are remarkable.
Handbook for the Recently Deceased! You’re killing me, MWC!
Not only a great review, but some fabulous advice too. It's a G-Shock victim.....Smashed it
I’ve had mine 6 weeks. It looks good but I accept everything else you said about it. If I only had £30 to spend I think I would get one of the AE1200 world time watches.
Lovin the Beetlejuice reference 👍
I have to say, you naiked it with the Mud Resist. Got mine a couple months ago at Wal-Mart for $33 for work and love it already. The light is great. I work outdoors, often in the dark and this little gem grabbed my attention because it reminds me of the many G-Shocks I've owned except somehow at a greatly reduced price point. Nice review.
I love the wife’s feedback. Wishing you well from the Grand Canyon State
I recommend the Casio ae-2000, it is the closest thing to g-shock. Good job!
Love the book you read the wife reactions out of. That book is from Beetlejuice right?
Great review. BTW, the MWD-110H, really looks good on your wrist.
We had two boxes of Seiko’s, seventy-five Timex’s, five Tag Heuer chronographs a bag half full of Bulova’s and a whole galaxy of multi-colored Casios, Fossils, Citizens…and also a Luminox a Rolex a case of Jack Mason’s a Zeppelin and two dozen Omega’s. Not that we needed all that for the collection but once you get locked into a serious watch collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
Great video as always my friend, loved the nod to beetle juice 😉👌
Hi, which one of these watches would you recommend me for daily use and gym ?
(ws1200h, trt110h, w735h, ws1400h)
You really got a good snap off the backhand to the notebook.
Hahahaha
I can tell you for sure, that just like all the Casio watches, and a lot of these type of watches in general, the ridges that are near the top of the watch band are there to keep the watch generally in place, basically, so it doesn't move around on your wrist too much where you have to keep adjusting it... so the ridges are there to simply keep the watch from moving and stay in place.... I really like the design of this watch and have just ordered it myself on eBay.... it will be a nice piece to my small Casio collection.... love, your channel and your videos, and very entertaining, keep up the good work 😊👍🏻
I don’t like the negative display cause you can’t see s**t in the sunlight.I love my dw5600 with the nice electric backlight.
Ive never even seen the last one and the one with the blue strap before but agreed both are far better than the featured one! And that light is just ridiculous
I was sure you were going to swap the strap 😂... I do agree with your selection at the end though! Good job! 👍👍
I must say, your mention of the TRT-110H-2AVCF 0 was a great point. I wasn't familiar with this particular model, but considering the multitude of features it offers at such an unbeatable price, it's definitely a wise choice.🥰
Thanks for watching my friend!
Thanks, for a review.... Your a mine Casio guru...And save me the money.... Cheers mate ❤
I hear all of your advice, and I'll go ahead and buy a DW290. The OG non-GShock GShock.
Spot on review my friend. It's also nice to know you continue with your passion despite your wife reactions, they are a highlight. You give me the passion to carry on as a collector.
Thank you my friend!
I'll never understand why Casio decided to go back to the F-91W backlight for their budget watches. That makes no sense. If you're not going to do electroluminescence, at least put in a *better* backlight. It's not the 1980s anymore. If they can put a good light in the TRT-110H, they should be able to put it in this one.
oh man, buttons that i can actually push without growing my fingernails out!
I purchased this mdw 2 months ago and I love it. I think the animation on the screen and the bezel makes this watch unique.
MWD110H you mean.
You know what he means;)
10:48 Love the “click it” part
Russ I love the book your wife writes in “The handbook for the Recently Deceased”! Love me some Beetlejuice! Iconic brother!
Thank you my friend! Wife got me it for Christmas!;)
I got this watch last weekend, I really like its looks. I agree that its annoying that the time is not displayed when the stopwatch or count down timer is active. I wonder if it would be possible to put some bull bars to protect the "glass".
My thoughts exactly, the size of the watch is very nearly the same only 2mm wider than the 5610 series. Definitely worth a try.
Almost fell outta my computer chair when you showed me that amber light hahah
Love the Beetlejuice notebook!!!
The crappy backlight alone is a dealbreaker.
I was going to complain about the poor back light but as I have a few F-91W's that have an illumination like a glow worm in a dull sweet wrapper I'll not mention that, oh I see I did. Oh well I have a few Casio and a few G-Shock watches and like you mention there is a clear difference in feel and weight due to the extra anti shock gubbins. I do quite like the watch and the price seems OK but as my Casio/G-Shock collection is expanding like un regulated styrofoam I'm applying the brakes.... ish, I'm tempted by the Mud Resist. Having those little animations to look at passes the time when waiting to be seen at the doctors or at the hospital. Both of which this week I got slightly bored of my beloved G-Shock 5610 (the old EL Backlight version) and started to count the floor tiles. Many thanks for sharing.
What do you think of the G shock GBA 800 and what colour lime or black
My only problem with my GW 5610 is small buttons. So if im planing on using stop watch or timer timex or Casio wv59 just for big comfy button.
Casio resin straps are far more comfortable if worn loose. They last longer as well.
The resin watch heads are generally much lighter than steel cases, and dont need to be worn so tightly.
Wearing Casios more loosely than other watches does take some getting used to, but it actually is very comfortable if you can make that change.
I only have X amount of time in my life. I don't want to waste it wearing a cheap watch. It may be $33, but it isn't the cost that matters but the time and memories that is worth much more. Unless it's all you can afford, I'd rather just save the $33.
Any watch with acrylic I avoid…great video my friend! Have a great day!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
If I added up the cost of all my budget Casios - I could have owned a very expensive watch! That's MAD!!!
I also have that Casio 1400 that you were showing.... and I love that watch.... I mean honestly, I love all my Casio's for one reason or another
Thank you for making this review. I would add this watch if it had a good glass and I prefer not protruding. All of that flies out the window when I look at Swatch. Could you please help me find a way to indicate which Swatch has a better glass instead of plastic acrylic? You would be a hero
check out the Casio W219H-AV. Has a raised lip too but less bulky and only $16!
Another great review Russell. 👋👍
Thank you my friend!
Mad watch man have you reviewed the W-96H-1AVES ?
Hope the watch survived being chucked across the room. 😂😂 Another great video.
Another great review MWC.
Its a great watch its been out for a while now. I was going to buy it for the gym, but seemed a bit big for me. I desired to just replace the battery for my old gshock.
Please make a compilation of just your wife's reactions to all Casio / G-Shock watches!
Definitely
I appreciate your positive energy Mad Watch Collector. You’re waking me up this morning and reminding me that it’s ok to be silly and happy! 😊
Thank you my friend!
Great review. I have one of these. I really like the auto repeating countdown timer. That strap is awful though. I swapped in a fabric one.
Yeah I think I’ll swap it out! Funny the same strap is on the lap timer but doesn’t seem to irritate!
Curiously, the DW5600 has a repeating countdown timer, while the otherwise better in every way GWM5610 does not. And I don't know why, it would be easy enough to implement.
@@FuglyStick That’s interesting. I didn’t know the 5600 had a repeating timer.
When you set the repeat timer to 30secs in this one , how often does it beep each time it hits zero? I have a g-shock with a repeat timer, unfortunately it beeps to much for my needs.
@@scuba453 I believe it beeps for 10 seconds when it reaches zero.
The Mudresist TRT-110H is watch to go.
For runner up & I always suggest is the DW-291H. Is close to a G-shock and gives a lot for your money.
Btw Your wife's comments just killed me😂😂😂.
This looked like an option until i saw that light. Ouch! That smarts!
I own and like the watch and the way it looks. I agree with the screen issue and hope it won't look too scratched too soon. I disagree with the light concern and think the way you filmed it doesn't do it justice (or maybe your watch is faulty??). I have no issues whatsoever seeing the time when using the light button in darker environments. The strap is a little uncomfortable indeed, but wearing the watch a little looser does it for me. I wonder if there is a fitting replacement strap.
You rock. Thanks for another great video
Thanks a lot Ryan!
Good advise and good video thank you bro👍👍👍
Thank you my friend!
Brilliant show! :)
So many facts and so funny to watch.
Thank you my friend!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR I just give credit where credit is due my friend. :)
Looks a nice watch especially as it had a bit of metal and a legible display for the over 60s
Wow a real banger, thanks mate
Hi Russell, Where can I find the full version of Trampoline? Is it on Spotify?
Yes my friend. My artists name ‘Martha’s Man’
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Awesome, Thank you. It went onto play Misunderstood afterwards!
Yes the mud resist also has a vibration alarm
Hell yeah!and also a 5 second countdown beep before stopwatch starts!
gotta love a casio !! however i went for something different just for a change a lorus R2333nx9 well chuffed for 13 quid
Quite nice and good price!
A more comfortable strap and a better light and I might consider purchasing one.
I like the stainles bezel . It makes it expensive and more like gbx100 in a flash view ,😆
I hope i can buy this in next 3 months
Really love your videos, mate
Pro tip, switch out that strap for the stainless Royale bracelet. Makes a world of difference
The mud resist watch also has a vibration alarm
mwd110 is about design. in this meaning it is g-shock killer (for its price)
WS1400... That's the one I'd go for if you want a good watch at an affordable price! But the original square is the best, and the Mud Resist one too!!
An 18-wheeler couldn't even kill a G-Shock. What the hell makes anybody think another watch could?
I missed this video when it first came out, but great take!
Appreciate you stopping by Dave!!! Thanks for being the inspiration!
Darned good video Mad Watch Collector!
Cheers Anthony!
Casio = VALUE for money every time. Great watches. This one looks amazing and has loads of functions. Not a g shock though! But it’ll take a beating nevertheless. I wear a positive G Shock king with gold bullbars. That’s all the watch I will ever need. 👍🇬🇧
IMO for a $30 Casio you can’t beat the DW290 or DW291. 💁🏻♂️
I bought one to take rock climbing. But it sits a little proud so I ended up tying it to my harness. I really like it but I think it might not be quite right for the mission 😅
Casio making competition for themselves! :D
I'm diggin' that negative display one tho!.. verry noice indeed!. gonna have to possibly pick one of them bad bwoys up.
I'm hoping the W-218H-1BVEF comes in to stock soon.
Another good cheap G Shock alternative is the DW-291h, I've had one for years and I think I like it better. Unfortunately it's got that same ridge on the band. I also think it's more legible than the 110h as the day/date is larger.
It’s way too big for me!!! I gave it away!;)
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR I'm 6'4" and 230. Sometimes I forget how big some of these watches look on smaller wrists!
@@3rdpig still a great watch my friend. Pretty weighty to! Definitely feel’s more expensive than it is!
hope you can review the casio negative display, white strap, and big face AE1500WH-8B2V.
I'm waiting for my order and the suspense is killing me.😂
It’s inevitable! Such a huge Casio! The numbers on the screen are as big as my head!!
"that big ridge" really should be the other way around so it doesn't dig into your wrist .
The same Ridge is on several other casio watch bands .
That's the main reason why I haven't bought any model with that nasty ridge pointing the wrong way .
100% agree!
You filmed this on my birthday 😊
It’s one of the best then my friend
Check out the w-737h for budget gshock likeness as well
It’s a beast!!
I would get the w86, w800 (or jdm LWS-2200)
i love casio awesome video !
Would love the look of the Casio with better LED’s and strap and you got yourself a perfect watch.
WELL THE NWD 110 IS A FANTASTIC WATCH AWESOME PRICE THIS IS CASIO I CALL THE WATCH G SHOCK NEPHEW I CAN NEVER STOP BUYING CASIO AWESOME VIDEO I LIKE IT
I just got mine delivered today.
Gee! Shock-ingly awesome and clever review! Great information about the watch, and excellent comparative analysis of its place in the relevant Casio rage! A bit of a bait and switch, with a twist! The twist being better value options are recommended! Really appreciate the effort and production values of ALL of your reviews!
