- The Casio World Time is a great retro, 80's looking, cheap Casio with a lot of character.
With an emphasis on world time zones and a neat little world map on the display.
Casio A500WGA-9DF is the number for this specific model.
There is also the Silver/steel option which is A500WEA-1EF
(There is also some very similar models with a different colour bezel too, with slightly diff product codes.)
Also seen in this video is the A168WEM-1EF, silver, with the negative LCD.
Hipsters, can you stop wearing this watch please, its for true Casio fans only! XD.
I live in China, my brother in the U.S, parents in Greece and close friends in Sweden and U.K. I love wearing this watch during my days off, as it reminds me when it's most convenient to get in touch. That, and I love the old-school look :)
As a 26 yr old Mexican dude this watch gave me 80’s Vibes from the Cartels back in the day 😂😂 Pablo Escobar, Nice formal Fit, Ferrari Testarossa, Gold plated Guns.🥃🥃
I can't believe that there are only 31 likes for this video. This is such a professionally made video that this week haven't seen it are missing out. Just lucky to have stumbled upon this on my timeline. 👏 👏
thats youtube for you, some of my vids get over a million views, some of them get 12 views. XD
Yeah it is a pretty good review. I can't think of anything left out, so I'll go ahead and give it a 👍
Loved the whiskey break haha! WELL MADE REVIEW BROTHER! MUCH APPRECIATED! 🙌🏼✨
The filmography of your video is some of the best I’ve seen. You earned a sub sir. Phenomenal.
Thanks. Just to warn you my channel is a mixed bag, that reflects my varied interests.
(Not just watches) :)
@@biscuitsalive that’s a good way to run a channel, appeal to the masses. Good luck and be well
Great review and videography..I ordered this exact model based on your review. I actually like the scuffs as it's a sign of use that makes it my own.
I was born in 1965 and therefore a child of the 1970s, the decade when digital watches landed on Earth. Like most other kids back then, I was bedazzled by these space age marvels and that wonderment has stayed with me. I collect and wear the vintage style Casio digital watches and this one is up there with the best of them. I have absolutely no interest in smart watches, they just leave me cold. for me, these Casio digital watches are still futuristic and cooler than a penguin's birthday party.
Great review.
I got the exact same model a couple of weeks ago I really like the features and the retro styling and the gold band gives it character.
I used to have the black resin version back in the day! Plus this is another one of the Casios that SKMEI have done a "Homage" of!
Nice review of a fine looking watch. I have the excellent A-168 and thought the A500 was quite large, but that's not much the case - your comparison was very useful. The gold version seems quite more dressy than the silver watches if i may say. Thanks for the video.
Great review!your description of a wannabe yuppy kinda sums me up purchasing one of these as I begin to embark on a world trip😅
Hey man, at 2.30, what is the second watch from the left, it is beautiful
In Malaysia, the price is approximately three hundred Malaysian Ringgit and above.
Just ordered silver version, but i think gold will be next! What a bang for a buck! So many functions!
Great review! So helpful. Thank you!
Awesome video thank you!
I can't understand why watch manufacturers don't understand that many consumers need multiple timezones shown always on the main screen, I can't search each time.
Buy a SmartWatch and configure it yourself
@@lukadinic822 So the solution is to go from a $40 watch to a $200+ one, with a few days at most battery life?
@@lukadinic822 well, smartwatch has the same issue, most models don't allow tu put milti timezone on the main screen, the only one brand I was able to find is garmin, but these ones are really huge, and they last for few days
@Dmitry; Casio does make at least a few versions that show multiple time zones at the same time, as many as 3 zones at the same time.
@@plohish1337 you need that A3000W.
Awesome review! My new job has me traveling a lot but I don't get paid well enough to get a traveler's GMT 😆 Do I wish the backlight was a little stronger? Sure. Do I wish it didn't tug on my arm hairs? Of course. But this watch makes it super easy to change time zones and can be seen on a dark plane, which will more than do for now.
Love it
Great video! That Seiko in the top right looks awesome. What model is it and what strap does it have on it?
thats the SNKL15, with the bracelet it comes on, (bracelet is horrible and cheap, i have a new one on order, but its taking its time to arrive) Its stunningly finished for a cheap seiko 5, the dial and case is really very impressive. (looks like a £500 watch, for £50)
amazing cinematic video review... Apreciate it!!! Btw, what's the music tittle?
ARSE!
Thank you. :-)
Damn that's amazing piece for the price. However it seems like it is out of stock everywhere - at least in the EU :// ... Where did you get it? I don't really want to pay double the price just because I have to order from US amazon (shipping+customs).
I thought that the case was also metal... not plastic. great review!
Great review! Do you have an image or description of how it looks over time? Particularly, does the golden color fade away quickly? Thanks! Greetings from Argentina!
Thanks. Not noticed fade. But scratches very easily. Looks fatty fairly quick unless you are super careful.
Gold watches can be very easily tacky and nasty..this ironically is that..BUT for some reason it works in its favour. It's so silly it becomes cool and likeable I was going to get the stainless version but then fell in love with the gold ..it's just got something about it in gold that is just hilarious and legendary.
These in gold are also becoming hard to come by in the UK I had to import for a total of £52..but you know what ..so worth it
As an American it was the opposite I got the gold cheaper than I did the silver. The silver coming from the Uk cost me more because of the shipping, but it was worth it and now I have both
Amazing video! Congrats
I have the silver variant you mentioned here. I don't wear it often because it just feels small on my already-small 6.5" wrist. It looks very handsome although the stock metal bracelet looks a little too retro for me. It's a good casual watch, almost looks dressy and probably won't look out of place with a suit. Maybe I should give it more love.
Subbed for the quality
Yaklaşık Türkiye de 2500 TL benim icin büyük bir rakam iki aydır inceliyorum almak istiyorum fakat cok pahalı sadece bakıyorummm uzaktan..üzücü
Is this a new watch? Because I have a similar one from about 1981 or so.
Cant decide on 1df or 9df black face with green world map or this one
what about gold finish after 2yrs? thinking about ordering a gold finish casio but kinda skeptical about durability of its finish
Great review bro good job , i've got a question !
Does it's body scratches easy?
Yep. It all scratches easy I’m afraid. :(
Aw man god damn , in the same price tag , what watches would you suggest that have more protection ?
purya fahim if you want a tough watch. Just get a basic G-shock.
They start from below $40
The square is a 80’s classic. I have a few of them.
Bro tnx for your replies i'm being a jerk but what about a watch that is both cool like this one and offers protection , sorry again
purya fahim tough one.
Have a look this vid...
Hang on il get link
where to buy for USD 40 ?
Might I ask where you purchased this from?
I just got mine but it won’t turn on any tips ?
does the mute also mute the alarms
No it does not
Casio should have more golden digital with bluetooth....its would be easier to adjust time when travel...
Bluetooth is very power intensive
Where can I buy this exact watch. All I can find with the full gold one is a silver inside bracelet
*strap
If you hunt on eBay they will pop up.
amazon has this model, theres another model like this but has a black outline around the screen instead of gold like this one, map is green and the bracelet is silver underneath, this model has a fully gold painted bracelet, be careful when ordering.
Does it pull wrist hair ?
It does a bit. But not as bad as some metal watch bracelets I’ve had.
I wonder if you can adapt it easily to a strap, may look neat.
@@biscuitsalive thanks for reply I really appreciate
Anyone know where i can get one of these?
amazon
Can you please explain to me why you chose the dull monochrome version of this beatiful Casio “real” watch rather than the stunning black bordered gold tinted screen with the exquisite emerald green world map (where the time zones are highlighted in black,therefore being far more easier to track) l am a Casio collector and as l already own about 5 different iterations of the AE-1200 (the Casio Royale) which also has a monochrome screen you would think you would choose the different coloured version l don’t see the attraction of the monochrome A500’s and why the A500’s have been largely ignored by the watch reviewers on TH-cam in favour of the seemingly orgasmic appeal of the AE-1200’s baffles me the A500’s are the real vintage model of the original 1980’s Casio world time watch except that original version was on black resin other than that it virtually unchanged except that the A500’s have gold and steel finishes the original also had coloured atlases by the way it is not just chrome plated casios that easily scratch- the biggest scratch magnet you can find are rolex’sthey use there own brand of stainless steel rather than 316L surgical steel like every other watches use it is a softer less durable steel l can refer you to Blue fish’s Guy for his review of his Rolex submariner l think you would find that review enlightening .My doctor who is a desk diving couch potato has one and his Rolex looks like it’s been thru a washing machine and climbed mt Everest on its own all polished surfaces scratch not just casio’s anyway l still don’t see the attraction of a gold watch with a black and white screen-RG,Sydney,Aus.

Good review, give you thumbs up,started doing a few reviews on my channel if you wish to take a peek,, not keen on the gold Casio , don’t like gold and also not keen on any with a map display on them ,,, like the negative silver one you displayed to the right of it ,,, what model is that one please may buy one if I can find it for sale ,,, cheers shane uk 🇬🇧
That’s the a168. (Full code in vid descrip)
Yep this gold one is a real marmite one isn’t it. Tacky. But in a fun way. :)
I'm not into gold or gold tones either. I've always been this way too. For some reason I've always equated gold to tacky.
I have the silver version of this watch with the blue world map, but I removed its original band, and replaced it with a SS band from a Casio AE1200. It fits perfectly between the lugs, but once you get into the main part of the band after the taper is finished, the band is still a few mm wider than the original one. All the cute effect is gone now. It still wears kinda small and it's just a touch heavier, but it looks so much better with a wider and thicker band that doesn't look like plastic.
I might have to look into one of the variants of the A168. For some reason, I always thought the A168 was a really small watch, but now seeing it next to the G-Shock, it actually looks pretty decently sized.
Now a question regarding the A168...
What is the equivalently sized Casio with EL backlighting, like the F105 is to the F91?
