The Casio simple digitals are amazing. Something that looks totally disposable, but lasts for decades. My impression is that the more a person goes WIS, the higher the appreciation to Casio digitals 😁
The DW-200 is beautiful. It seems a small G-SHOCK. I'd like they made this model today.
The recent W215H series was inspired by the DW-200. Available in a bunch of colors, not as impressive with specs but the visual inspiration is clear.
@@lookatwrist thank you
If you want a 200m WR Casio that isn't a G-Shock, check out the AE-2000 and DW-291H series. They're pretty chunky but only half the price of a basic DW-5600.
@@Atombender thank you
Wow, a blast from the past! Love these vintage Casios.
Since 1983, I've had a W-24a Marlin. Everything works on it, and the original strap, inner and outer boxes are still with it. It's been retired from daily driver duty since the late 90s, but I do wear it on occasion, to bring back that 80s nostalgia.
Marlins will always have a soft spot in my heart
That ana-digi Casio is gorgeous! I love the design of the indices especially. Very reminiscent of the Seiko SKX007.
Yes, that's it! I knew it reminded me of something.
It looks like a square Arnie with the digi display on the bottom.
Casio has so many cool designs to remake
Thankfully Casio still sells such a similar Model. The AQ-280A for example. And in a way it also exists in the AW-80 telememo watches. Just more enhanced & expanded.
Thank u for sharing;g these amazing vintage historic watches!
You're welcome!
Loved it You're right that one looks like a diving watch almost The last one is beautiful it looks like the 5600 that we have today
Topcat 129 the comment I expected 😆💯💯
Your reviews are pure serenity .
That's very kind. Thank you 😊
DW-200 is the watch that served as the basis for the HD that would come after him, DW-2XX's
Beautiful set of Classic/Vintage Casios !!! You have yourself Three Sweet little Watches. Love Them , thanks for sharing them with us 👍
Thanks for watching!
Awesome bit of Casio history. I really liked the shots of the ‘84 print catalog.
If I had to choose which one I’d own... ALL of ‘em 😉 Thanks for sharing.
Ha, thanks for checking it out :)
This was an enjoyable video to watch. Enjoy the timepieces in good health.
Love the DW200. I had one back in 1984, perfect for a lifeguard which I was back then. Someone told me that Casio had just brought out a new watch called the G Shock. I had to have one……..I got the hero, DW5200 later that year. (Should have sourced a few DW5000 at the time, I’d be rich now) it’s still going great guns now, 37 years later! Thanks for the video.
Supercool, I remember a couple of these. thanks 🙂
I enjoyed your review dude. Thx. U can't go wrong with a Casio! 😉
Thanks for watching man!
Nice little collection there. That F-12 is in remarkable shape.
It sure is. Collectors item.
Excellent and important video;i'm a fan to this watches for your quality, duration;and reasonable price.
Love your videos!
Thanks!
All 3 Nice Watches Looks Great!!! I Especially Like The Third Watch The Most!!! Great Video!!! 👍👍👍
Thank you!
@@WatchingCasio You're Always Welcome, Sir! 👍
I really like the ana-digi too. I'm trying to find one with the steel band. Good collection. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, the ana digi is flawless for it's age, Casio is ahead of time.
The Marlin of course remains some of my favorites I am still wearing the W-400 to this day great vid
Thank you!
Wow! At school decades ago (seems like when large reptiles roamed the Earth) there was a kid with a Marlin very similar to that. We swapped watches for a few days and it was thrilling to use a watch you could wear in the shower. My spiritual successor to that Marlin I never owned is the GWB5600 bluetooth in black and gold. Super watch.
Those were exciting times :) I love the watch swap. Don't think I did that as a kid. I love that GWB5600 too. Awesome watch.
Thank you, these are all super pretty and in pristine condition. That F-12 especially is great looking. Also...
*Here is everybody's free Public Service Announcement about* the availability of the F-84 directly from Japan, to you, right now, extremely favourably priced; awesome model not to be missed. I'm not selling them, I'm just telling you that you could, and should, consider it.
I always thought that the Marlins had a standard of 200m WR, not 50 as you stated. Enjoyable video 👌.
Beautiful collection *-*
Thanks fren
Your AQ-30 is in impeccable condition. There's a seller on eBay that sells authentic original straps for it, it looks great.
Thanks! I got a great deal on Ebay. Just have to be patient :)
Pretty sure I had something very like the DW-200 in the late '80s, except that mine stated "10 year battery" somewhere on the front.
Those FL70 models in the catalogue look very interesting
Enjoyed the video. I have some watches, a Casio W-24-A which is the baby brother Marlin at a water resistance of 50M from about 1984. Original band and working well. Some other Timex digital ones , early Triathlon watches mid-80s.
Nice - that W24A is a classic!
C00l love that 200m
The Marlin is cool
I remember them in the 80s , clearly, now wearing a Rangeman GPR B1000 , they should do a Re issue of that analog digital, I had the last Watch . Marlin .
Ahhh great year 1984 👍🏻
Just graduated HS , bought my first Marlin that summer
That ani digi casio my grandfather had it ❤️
Awesome video as always. It would be interesting to tell where do you get the watches is this amazing condition.
Mostly online. It's tough to be patient but you can really find some good gems on Ebay.
Casio needs to make a new and improved version of the F-12 that has a metal band and is solar powered .
The F-12 is the no nonsense approach to time keeping .
Wow great vintage collection of casio mate...
Still in my opinion the iconic casio F91W is Jesus Christ in watch world & unbeatable❤
i have a DW240, it is quite similar with DW200. A bit of frankenwatch since i made it from 2 identical watches. One had broken module and another had broken LCD. Got it from two different seller. Kind of bad luck but the second seller agreed to servicing the watch by installing the normal LCD screen from to the first one to the nice module one but broken LCD. Been 1 + year since and it is running very well until now :)
Nice frankenwatch!
Casio DW-200 ♥️
Casio DW-1000 ♥️
I'd consider the F-700 to be the grand daddy of the F-91W. It was released around the same time as the F-12.
So interesting, I love your vídeos. Best regards from Brasil, Mário.
Greetings! And thank you!
@@WatchingCasio 😀👏👏👏
Hey, awesome video as always and great info too. Is there any chance you can dig up a video about the Casio TS-1200. Circa 1982. It was my first watch!! Many thanks in advance.
Absolutely! I have that one in mint condition. I'll be doing a video about it soon. Thanks!
4:47 now imagine THIS model having a solar panel as the watch face. That would make this a very desirable model :) Wouldn't change much. Lume on the hours indexes and hands should be standard and perhaps the little LCD could have an EL backlight or amber LED.
My dad had the Marlin back in the 80s. we played the :00 stopwatch game which was not easy as I remember the Marlins button's were quite hard to push
I wish i inherited that but who knows where it is now
Dw200 is fantastic..!
My father used to have the gianus with White Dial and green dots: he bought It for using during a business trip in Bagdad in 1985 due to the dual time. Now It Is still working but the LCD display Is gone. During that business trip if I can Remember correctly Iran Launched some missiles on Bagdad so that my father and his collegues had to repare themselves.
That's fascinating. Wild memories!
@@WatchingCasio I checked and It was april 1985
Me suscribí a tu canal, muchos de los casios que muestras no los conocía, me parecen increíbles, gracias por compartir, ojalá que con el tiempo pueda hacer mi propia colección de casios 😎
Muchas gracias por mirar!
New subscriber,,, Hello, you should consider adding a AE 1200 in black resin!
Now I'm going to check out your other videos!
Very nice. You might know of a Casio of the early eighties which looked not unlike the F12 or F91 but it had bright red plastic pushers, bigger than the metal ones and oval not round. I used it at boot camp and haven’t seen one since.
Huh, doesn't ring a bell. I'll keep an eye out for it.
Nice. Let’s see Paul Allen’s watch.
Friggin* cool pieces
nice collection. where do you get those watch sleeves (?)
If I remember correctly they came in the package when I ordered the A1000D.
I found a video on how to activate the count down timer on a W800H. Need to desolder a link. I tried it and it worked. Love Casio's and the channel.
Nice one! Thanks for watching.
the oldest casio i have is a f91w from 1994 still with the original strap
You have great taste in casios bruh
cool
Wonderful watches! The "Marlin" is something of perfect! 😍😍 I've also the W720T...Do you have this watch in your collection? Bye and have a good Easter day!
No I don't but I would love to find one! Thanks and Happy Easter to you too!
Hey thanks for the video. Can you tell me if these older Casios, like the vintage Marlins, have the ability to be current with date year or if not how you adjust to that?
Many of the Marlin watch don't have a year setting, so you do have to adjust the date each month.
I still got 4 Casio touch screens mint condition
hi awesome video, i have a new Casio marlin dw 200 i bought in 84 and its still in the box with the all the paper work and never been warn i'm looking sell but i have never seen any for sale any ideas
cheers
shaun
Look it up on Ebay and sort by recently sold.
That ani-digi one is very nice.
On a side note I wonder how many modules will fit the "Casio - Royal" case... Do you have any idea?
Just the AE-1300 will fit in there.
Hi There,
Great video, is there a decent ani-digital watch available today that has a decent size case, my wrists are bigger so I need a good size watch. Thank you.
Oh yeah, there are a ton. Just search for Casio Analog Digital on eBay or Amazon and I bet you'll find a bunch.
marlins are the best!! I have 6 different ones and I think the w-350 is the most beautiful watch ever made. I wear them daily :)
That's awesome! That's an excellent model. Love that one.
@@WatchingCasio so hard to find one, even more with the original strap.. I looked several times a day for a whole year on ebay to get a w-350.
and last month I finally got my w-750 in mint condition :) this is my second favorite watch
@@HajoBenzin1 yeah i constantly have an eBay tab open with Casio Marlins haha
@@p3tabyte me too :D (but mostly german and european ebay). what's your favorite marlin of them all?
I just ordered a w215h ... doesnt it look almost the same as that marlin? hehe
Ilove my casio W800h...some people say that is an ugly watch.but a don't care..btw nice video 😉
I like that one too 🙂
The DW-200 is certainly not a G-Shock precursor as it was released 1 year after the first G-Shock...
I usually think it’s just Special forces that loves wearing Wristwatch on the back on their wrist
La impresión que yo tengo es que casio quiere encauzar a la gente hacia su gama g-sock/protrek pero no entienden o no quiere entender que hay gente que jamás los compraría yo no entiendo porqué no hacen algo que se parezca más a los DW-200/DW-1000/Marlin digital ?
I went through my stuff and found a Casio w400 marlin module 106. Looks robust with a screw back case but the lcd has leaked out. Is there replacements?
Hmm you might be able to find one for parts on Ebay. Be patient :)
I miss my casio DW2000 model. the battery stoped and being a stupid idiot that i am didnt repair it and left it in the draw for years eventually throwing it out. God that watch was functional had a loud alarm.......beating anything today.
You’re definitely not alone on that. I did the same thing in the early 2000’s to a DW5600C, TGW-100 and a ae-20w. They just needed new batteries installed..in the trash they went. 🤦🏻
that marlin sound exactly like a tomagochi
I was watching the Marlin with the Orange border on EBay and it went for £215/$268! And it didn’t even have the right strap!
Wow. Insanity haha.
Water sports... Heh heh heh.
😉😂
Where do you get these Casio sleeves for the watches??
They actually came with the new A1000 stainless steel watches. Super soft. I'll try to find more.
Do you have a casio that beep ever half hour ? I think that the DW 3000 maybe? I recall having one but I dont remember
Huh yeah that does sound familiar. I can't remember which one though.
@@WatchingCasio I finally found the casio watches that have the half hour chime Casio W-26 Module 248 including the w26 casio with the marlin symbol that's the one I had back in the late 80s
I remember them having the hourly chime which beeped twice and one beep for the half hour chime
@@DavidR-ub2dp Right on! Good sluething :)
@@WatchingCasio thank you I knew that casio made them but I had to do some digging and some memory jogging lol😁👍
Nice video. Held on for 3,5 minutes with the ongoing background sounds before I had to stop. Sorry mate 🖖 Quality is good though.
Ah bummer, I've been thinking of removing it. Thanks for the feedback.
Retuns casio DW 200 please
4:15 It actually was quite fashionable of sportsmen back in the earlier days of Casio ana-digi to wear their watches upside down....
So odd. Why is that?
@@WatchingCasio It became fashionable in fashion magazines and watch catalogues as easier to see watch. 😄 Pulling your leg.
Haha I'm so gullible 😂
@@WatchingCasio Not at all. 😄
Where can I get those Casio Watch Pouches?
I don't know if you can buy them. The white ones came in the box with my A1000D.
So casio doesn't produce F12 now anymore?
The case of DW-200 looks almost the same as this of nowadays W-215H, except the inverted layout of the buttons. May be the last one is produced using the same cast. Of course, DW-215H has more features and looks cooler.
childrolland - yes the W-215H is roughly based on the look of the DW-200 series, but is made of inferior shiny plastics compared to the high quality matte black material of the Marlin. The classic DW-200 is also waterproof to 200m whilst the DW-215H is only waterproof to 50m. As the proud owner of the rare vintage original DW-200 Marlin I can assure you the W-215H does not come anywhere close to being in the same league and is simply a tacky and disappointing imitation of an absolute legend.
@@SetoPerrier This is for sure. I have 215h - no description needed.
Hello.The 2nd model ils authentic or fake ? J'aime beaucoup le deuxième modèle mais sur eBay il n'y en a aucune en bon état.casio devraient faire une réédition
They are all real!
Pedile a alguien que se lo ponga para los videos. Tenes muñeca de mujer. Son relojes chicos y te quedan gigantes
jaja no son tan pequeños. 34 mm era un tamaño estándar en aquel entonces
favorite strap on any casio watch?
Phew -- too many choices!
I see people wearing watches backwards alot on promotional images.
F 85
MARLIN watches,casio produkt them again?
Not like these originals, that's for sure.
🙏🙏🇹🇷
棒
Wow these watches are tiny, they'll look a bit ridiculous on anything but a small childs wrist.
Yeah this was back in the day before there were 52mm G-Shocks. Small watches were more stylish.
Why do you call the Duro "marlin"? That's obviously not a Marlin. It's a sailfish. The Marlin's dorsal fin peaks just above its head and tapers down drastically from there. The sailfish is what's portrayed on the front and back of the Duro.
Retro...I'd go with retro, not vintage.
