You look a little different when it comes to Casio. More enthusiastic, more passionate. Love it...
Hahahahaha
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTORoye casio ke dalal bhenchod, frogman 30th anniversary wali model ki video kab layega re lundfakir 😂
Because Casio always hits the spot, or at least so many times. Affordable, precise, good looking, retro-futuristic... What can you ask for more?
Bro, you got a hahahahahaha from the mad dog. That’s like Einstein saying good math!
The only watch you ain't got in your collection is Casio DB36 1AV.
I love the fact Casio is reissuing old discontinued models!!! It clearly shows that Casio cares about its community. I've recently got the G Shock 40th anniversary reissue of the 90s legendary DW-6600, which was discontinued around 2010.
Duro community wouldn't agree with you really, after smaller case version has been released
@@Hallinwar Oh yeah I forgot about that, and in fact that the newer models aren't marlins anymore is quite disappointing
Casio just continues to bring the heat. I cant imagine being into super luxury watch brands and ignoring Casio. There just so much more interesting and the value for money is insane.
Just got this beauty both in silver & black !!! Life is so Good 😊
I think it's a pity that you can not switch it to 24 hour format
Great show, my man! Only thing stopping me from getting this one is the pain of adjusting the bracelet, lol! The light is surely a letdown, although not a dealbreaker either. But in all honesty I'm more excited about the a120 you've been teasing. I've waited a good while for your review of that!
Right now this is the best watch in the Casio Vintage Collection. With that stainless steel case this watch could virtually last forever. Yes, the module is pretty basic, but it´s efficient and simple to operate. It´s definitely a keeper and a step in the right direction for Casio. We want less resin and more steel.....digital watches made to last!!
Needs sapphire also
The green display is great with the yellow backlight. That said, I do wish it was a slightly better movement with 24H function and a true stopwatch.
Basically your basic Illuminator movement in this format. Rather than re-issuing old watches, Casio could make a killing by offering retro designs with the better movements from the era. I mean, this was great when it came out, but everyone bought the next gen when they came out because they were just that much better. Then later we did it again when 50m water resistance was an option. That is, originally these were where the technology of the time was at.
And, yes, he's not kidding - We all had these "Water Resist" models. Good for basic water splashes or rain getting your clothes wet only. Absolutely ZERO resistance to pressure. A shower or even a bathtub, let alone a swimming pool - water inside it in no time. The "50m" were good for your typical swimming pool or to shower with. An actual 5m waterproof. Lol. So all the kids were.. "get 50m at least". This was years before the G-Shock came out, mind you. Tech was always evolving and new features were out every year. So.. a $5 first gen movement, as honest to the original as it is, is not really what anyone wanted at the time. Or now. Sorry if it's a bit long, but this comes SO close,. Casio with these re-releases needs to jump solidly on the "resto-mod" bandwagon, like we see with classic cars.
Casios are renowned for being more water resistant than what they claim on the tin. For example here is an F91W at a mind boggling 60m depth. 🤯 m.th-cam.com/video/0xCpuxgw154/w-d-xo.html
Another amazing show as always MWC 👏👏👏👏
This A1100 is an absolute winner from Casio! All the that retro goodness wrapped up in a full metal case! It’s a little pricier than I was expecting but it’s a brilliant addition to the Casio range and hopefully the first of many full metal Casios to come 🤞
Cheers Gareth!!!!
I remember back when digital watches cost hundreds of 1970s dollars. I also remember early Casios by the late '80s costing more than they do now. People today have no idea what terrific bargains Casios are.
I'd rather be in the 70's with expensive casios and cheap housing rather than the reverse today 😢.
Been waiting for your review on this so thank you. A definite buy for me. If they were to make their A168 in ss and perhaps a little bigger (not in keeping with the original I know but just a few mm) I think it would fly off the shelves.
A-100 brings back idiosyncratic memories of my childhood. It was my very first watch. I saw one in a mailing catalog and asked my dad to order it with my own money. To the eyes of a 12 y.o. me it looked super cool and futuristic but it got destroyed during a soccer game soon after I'd got it. I also got my first kiss and then got punched in a nose on a same day! Ah memories! I lived fast then, much slower now...
Kissed and punched by the same girl on the same day? Sounds familiar to most of us.
Similar here. I got a 52QS from my parents on holyday to the UK in 1979 at 14 y.o. Tbh. I wanted one of the Seiko digitals the most, but I loved the Casio dearly when I got it. It eventually scratched up more and more, and some of the buttons finally got stuck, so it "vanished" like all of my digitals I had in my younger years. I will get the A1100D-1 in a few days :)
Very nice! I am addicted to having always visible day/date complication however. Hopefully more models will be released with stainless case and this improved bracelet.
The wife nailed it, retro but modern at the same time, This is timeless watch something Dr. No would where, a little marketing and this watch would be a big seller.
Who'd have thought my Grail watch would only cost ~ $150.00?
Great vid & Great job Casioooooooo!!!!
I love this casio! hope they release more full stainless steel digital watches. I love them.
I have this watch…really pleased to see you review it and like the look as much as me. I wanted a Casio for my collection and went for this one. The bracelet needs resizing and it pulls hair like it’s sadistic…im hoping once it’s sized it won’t pull as much. Also worth a mention that this is the stainless steel version of the watch Ripley wears in the first Alien film. I liked that little fact.
Cheers Dave!
I had to buy it as I was born in 1978 so got the silver version and I love it, the bracelet is actualy fairly easy to adjust and I have worn it in the shower many times with no issues. The way it reflects the light in different conditions is amazing and I like the retro amber back light which works well.
I bought this Casio in Australia only a couple of weeks ago Russ! Absolutely love it! Easy to resize the bracelet but it’s a hair puller!😵💫 Also the Tissot PRX digital, yep I bought that too! And I absolutely love it!😍 I’m glad I got it in the silver & black though.👍🏻😎
Love the review, as usual. The little gasp you gave when you read that your wife liked it made me laugh out loud. Cheers Russ.
this looks great. Casio should release more stainless steel watches.
I bought this one off the Casio USA website about 6 weeks ago after I got a "back in stock" email. I like the design and the build quality. I don't think anyone would have complained if they had upgraded the movement a little bit with a 24-hour display and a stopwatch that can handle up to 24 hours. Still a nice watch.
An LF-20W or other small world timer in steel would be great. The SKXMOD cases for the AE1200 are OK, but they're heavy, I'd rather have something like a A500 model in steel.
Great show, Russ! An amazing steel Casio release, Casio Corner returns, AND a Casio model Mrs. MWC likes?!? Incredible! I hope this is a trend from Casio - they will hopefully release an AE1200 in steel.
Dang, off-the-charts today: A1100D review, *passes* the Wife Review(!), and wraps up with a new Casio Corner. I know I kinda-sorta got things agitated with the A1100D, but I've (momentarily) put that one off in favor of an old Casio sleeper, the EFA120D-1AV (a name we'll all remember). Not sure if you've reviewed that one, but I'm seriously digging it. Fabulous review again, Russ!
Thank you my friend! Great options there!
I've had one of these for a couple weeks now, and It has been similarly making me wish for stainless steel versions of all my Casios (what I wouldn't give for a steel 158w).
Thanks for making this episode. I am planning to buy one. In India they are priced at Indian rupees 8500 or 85 pounds. Over and above the AD offers around 5 - 10% discount.
Really love the looks of that watch. :) Not sure I'd pay > $100 for it, given the lack of real water resistance and the barely-there backlight. That bracelet is quite an improvement over Casio's usual fare, though. :)
Ordered mine about a month ago and it's been my daily wear since!
I feel like I'm at a place in watch collecting where I just appreciate a nice watch for being a watch without it having to be homage or mechanical so these videos are actually nice
Thanks for reviewing. I'm absolutely in love with the black one, the green dial is FIRE 🔥 but the price is hard to justify
Purchased this watch a month or so ago along with the gold version and I absolutely love it! I recently purchased the PRX Tissot digital 35mm and I must say for a third of the price the Casio has it beat hands down.
That's it review done. This is the watch I've been waiting for. Pulled the trigger lol 👍
Yes!!!!
Casio seems to be releasing a few "classic" design watches in full stainless steel the last couple of years and yes, compared to the conventional line up they are relatively expensive albeit much, much cheaper than a Tissot.
I have also noticed (a worrying trend?) of some of their newer releases and upgrades(?) such as the EFV-140 are a downgrade in spec from the 100 but is more expensive and the new baby Duro🤔
Am I Casio ready?? YES! Will I buy one?? YES!
Yes!!!!!
Mate, thanks for posting this video. I really like this piece and might get it soon. Your reviews are always fun to watch and informative at the same time
Thank you!!
Casio and their beautiful time pieces ⌚
Definitively getting the black one
Go perfect with a 70’s fit
Awesome watch and a welcome return of casio corner...top top vid Russ 😊
To be fair to Tissot, the PRX has an excellent bracelet for the price. But with digital, I'd always choose Casio.
The wife’s reaction…. I’m floored!!! That’s as good as it gets. Drop the mic!
I have this very watch (A1100D-1). I bought probably around the same time you posted this and I love it. Not only well-made but a reissue where they made some improvements over the original. I've been wearing it for the last three weeks and I'm genuinely pleased with it. A reissue - and the retrofuturist aesthetic - done right.
OMG those Red Dwarf figures.
Thanks for the review! Just purged my Casio collection. Kept the two I love, the rest went to good homes.
Thinking this one will be the one to complete my Casio 3 watch collection.
What are the other two specimens?
@@Wiwerest A G-Shock 6900 & a W217
@@alexgarciala nice choice
I think it looks cool but I'm going to hold out for a more practical model of all-stainless, with buttons on the side and more info on the display (day/date). Also I hope the price is lower because Armitron offers two all-stainless models both for under $45 USD.
The best Casio I've ever had!
Great review Russ! Wow- the wife likes a Casio digital?! It must look less like the "kid's watches" she always says they look like lol. Honestly, being a Casio, I would not even worry for a minute about the water resistance and would have no qualms about taking it in the pool...
Agreed Chaz!!
I bought my first Casio yesterday after watching some of your videos.
Somehow I’ve already order 4 more 🤦♂️
Mrs MadWC is on the money as usual assisted by your warm-up act. I really like it except for the lightshow and the price. If it had a screw down caseback like... every GShock ... to aid battery changes or better yet a solar movement I would be more interested.
Your comments are spot on, hattyfarbuckle
I've had some crazy ideas for watch designs lately. The latest one is a digital watch with a crown--and no buttons. I know the Apple Watch has something like that, but this is different. It would be a basic digital watch with the feature set of an F-91W or a classic G-Shock. You push the crown once to change modes, hold it briefly to get into adjust mode, and turn it backward and forward to do the adjusting. In stopwatch mode, you would turn the crown one click forward to start (since it's electric, it would have to have clicks like a bezel), one click backward to stop, hold it down for about 1 second to reset. A watch like that could also include an alarm and a countdown timer.
Interesting ideas! Keep working at it. Maybe someday, you’ll own a patent. 👍🏼
The multifunction variant of the Omega Polaris has something like this!
@@boozle8125Just looked that up, and you are right. Very cool!
I had to rewatch this one after watching your Casiotron review. You’ve gotta hand it to Casio - they continued to produce digital watches in high volume. In addition they not only paved new territory for digital watches with G-Shock but they never forgot their early watches. The way they celebrate their models really puts Rolex to shame.
I like this model because it does remind me of all the 70s Seikos I wanted because of the Bond movies.
If casio had relased the digital prx i wonder if your reaction would have been different?
After a horrible day your videos make me smile 😊 again. Thank you 🙏🏻
Casio should watch this video! I wish I could tag them here! Your recommendations are very relevant!
Great review!
Just got one on the strength of you review... LOVE IT! Thank you!
Great review. Can’t wait to pick one up once stock is replenished!
This needs to come to the uk! It’s on my to buy list now
To see Casio Corner again is fannntassssticccccc!!!!
Casio was the watch I always had growing up. I’ve had probably up to 8 to 10 of them including the first G-shock. But then at about age 33 I grew up and I haven’t wanted a digital watch since. Kind of like your wife’s opinion makes me feel cheap/infantile (even though I am cheap). This watch is a beauty and as always your reviews are awesome!
I can’t believe your wife liked it!
My God, I’m getting old and grumpy.
Finally picked one of these up, been on my to buy list for a year now... as our resident Casio officionado on youtube...any plans of reviewing the new G- Shock steel GST-B600 ?
I'm with you on that black model, Russell! All three look great, but that's the one I have to have!
I got the black one from a Spain retailer at a discount. The look of the green is unlike any Casio I've had and it looks Matrix cool
I would love to see more basic function digital watches like this, with their small screens.
I’m always a fan for Casio since I was a little kid but you make Casio something else I love this watch after your review and I can’t wait to get mine on my wrist with gold color ❤
I have quite a few Casios but I don’t think this one will be joining the collection. Thanks for sharing it and have a great day!
You will be missing out my friend! Thanks for watching!
Totally agree about a steel cased 158 or 168 ,id happily fork out £100+ for one!!!
I got mine from Casio UK at the end of July. They have the black and gold but silver currently out of stock. I agree the strap and overall watch as a whole is a stunner. 👍
You're spot on about the '70s Seiko influence here. I have some. Still this is just class. There's something beautifully embryonic about it.
If the PRX Digital said Casio on the face, he would have loved it! no doubt about it 😂
Would he?
I already have the A100 gun metal version and love it. When I got mine I did wish that they made it with a full stainless steel case and now they have..sort of anyway. OK the A1100 looks a tad different but I have to say that I really, really want one. OK it might only be water resistant but I'm not bothered if it's not a million planet spheres that will still work in the core of Jupiter, I'll never get there as they don't have a bus rout to it anyway. I have a Casio A1000 in stainless and if the finish of this new watch is as good as that then it should be available on prescription.
I'm hesitant about this one. Looks awesome, but could've done with a screw on case back, 24hr time and longer battery life. Having said that the black one is all kinds of gorgeous...
if its listed 3y its propably 5-6y
@@Cortesevasive Yeah that's actually true. I see the price came down a bit already so... I might still be persuaded 😁
Got mine today! Love it, better than I expected it to be.
Bought one earlier this year, its definitely a cool watch.
A stainless steel digital marlin version would be nice
I’m with you on the water resistance issue. It always bugs me when the WR of a watch is puny! I don’t know anything about the process of waterproofing a watch, but it sure seems like it could be better in a lot of cases. Ex: Field watches with only 50m WR! Okay, end of rant. 🙄
I hope WR will enough for daily use
@@Memmaao Having lived through this era of watches as a kid, here is what the numbers mean:
WR = occasional splash, long sleeve shirt a bit wet from rain. Absolutely zero pressure resistance. Rubber gaskets on buttons only. Heavy rain, running water, or doing the dishes - dead in no time.
50m = Can take a shower with it, freshwater swimming pool to an actual 5-10m. NG for salt water, buttons can't be used under water.
100M = take it to the ocean or wherever. Not a dive watch, but should hold up to any water under normal use. Buttons can be used when wet as well - bonus :)
We ALL ditched this model for the new "Illuminator" ones when they came out. (though some got duped by "WR" versions vs 50m) 24H, 1/100 timer (with split time and countdown timer!) and 50M resist.. all with a great backlight... never looked back. That generation is what you want as a daily wearer, IMO. Check out the B640WB-1BVT, for example.
@@plektosgaming thx for the information! I'm still craving for this model. I contacted my local watchmaker, and he ordered me one, it will arrive in Friday.
Got mine a few days ago and i absolutely love it
Just bought a ww1 trench watch from Baltany with a seagull movement, and it's gorgeous 😍
Added to my cart and pulled the trigger, a minute or two after watching this. Irresistible.
Got more than a month ago when they finally made to USA and they are one of the few favorites of mine
I Ioved this review! And I love your reactions to your wife's opinions! I love Columbo's wife effect on this whole wife's opinions theme ❤
Great reference. I had forgotten about that running theme.
Quite nice but too expensive in my opinion. For the same money you can buy a G-shock 5610 solar powered, radio controlled and with other several functions.
Thank you for a great review and video! Maybe I should add one of those to my collection😊
That's an awesome looking watch, I have my eye on that black and green one. Imagine if someone makes a titanium mod for this lil beauty. Did I miss the price?
120!
I have the black one .. love it 💚🖤
Brilliant show. And WTWS shocker or what?!? 😂😂😂
i was wondering where is your video about the a1100 and now its here haha! btw i just bought it a few weeks ago but changed to leather strap!
Fabulous looking watch. That bracelet looks the business
MWC: I like this watch as well. It has a modern sensibility with a retro look. It brings me back to the 80s without even trying. See ya on the next one!
I’m getting into vintage quartz bc back in the day they were premium and cutting edge and not just plastic like many today
A good knock around working watch
Great review 👍 I like it but it is a bit pricey, I've just bought an Armitron Rubik stainless case, 50m WR, crap back light but only £29 from Amazon.
Another fun review!! Got me thinking if you’ve looked at the Armitron Ridgemont? Stainless steel analog+digi and a great backlight for around 40USD! The gold finish is unbeatable too haha
That looks very snazzy! The bracelet looks great. I want one!
Yes Kees!!!!
Did NOT expect the Mrs watch collector to actually like this one 😮 LOL that being said i love it too!
Thank You ! You Rock !
Thank you!!!
Sold out in silver quick time!
Thx so much Russ - it's a beauty! Unfortunately, my most-used feature on a digi-watch is a timer - which unfortunately is missing here. 🥺 And the backlight kills it for me. Your review helped me decide, I just ordered a gold A168 instead (yes, also w/o timer sadly)😁 Cheers!
Absolutely great looking 👀 Casio ❤️👍
Bought it, love it, wearing it right now. It still isn't my all-steel a168. 😢
Been waiting for this video. Good to see its a winner (backlight aside) as i thought it might be :) I shall be adding one to my collection but not 'til its sub £100. Still really liking my recent MTP-1377 purchase which has had plenty of wrist time and on 3 different straps so far.
