    Today's vintage, retro watch review focuses on Casio's Moon Graph watch - the GMW-15 - featuring moon phase data, moon hour angles, sunrise and sunset information all in a dedicated, animated display. Based on your timezone, latitude, and longitude information this moon phase watch will calculate the lunar calendar alongside four daily moon hour angles showing you exactly where in the sky the moon is visible.
    For vintage watch collectors, this model pairs nicely with the CGW-50 Cosmo Phase watch. It was a futuristic, astronomical wonder back in its day and remains so today. Be sure to watch until the end to see a special Easter egg that Casio included. Thanks for watching!

    I wish Casio publish an interactive catalogue with their unique vintage models so that everyone can vote or pre-order and then re-issue them. I would totally get these two models.

    This guy is unveiling a whole world of genuinely unique timepieces that were previously totally invisible to me. I'd love to see Casio dip back into their archives and rerelease some of these vintage niche pieces like Timex is currently doing.

      I'd pay good money for a modern (and larger) re-release of the Moon Graph. I wish Citizen would re-release a modern version of their 1980s Ref. 2180 "Astro Fantasy" Moon Phase watch too.

    I used to have this watch. I bought it around 1986 and used it for at least 10 years. As an amateur astronomer I loved it, and was heartbroken when it finally gave out. I don't understand why Casio discontinued this watch. The module in several other watches already does most of the moon calculations. I wish they would being back a real moon watch

      Nope. That didn't even exist when this watch was made :)

      Are you serious? Did they have smartphones in the 80s?

    I had one as a teenager. Every so often I go looking for one online. When I find them they're always scratched to bits and are going for hundreds of euros. I'm not paying that much for something in that condition.

      I got super lucky on eBay. The crystal was really scratched but since they are acrylic you can buff them right out with some polywatch.

    The only Casio watch I am somewhat interested with, just because I am interested with the moon and the sun data. Seems like there is no other simple watch that show this data??!
    Models like G-Shock GBX-100 are too pricey and have too much useless complications. I dont like smartwatches with notifications and pulse measure either. Yikes. Also I am not a fan of the overall bulky/tech look of G-Shock series anyway.
