@@WondersofWatchdom put them in the video's description
@@lulul Thanks for the advice - I did that!
@@WondersofWatchdom you might want to add some watch list from your previous watch review as well bud.
@@WondersofWatchdom this CASINO is going to be my next favorite watch.
Do you have any videos on musical music box watches ? 🎼
This is how watches should be reviewed, with stories, context and memories. At the end of the day, that's what it is all about. Thanks WoW!
These videos really are something else. The best on youtube by a far margin in my opinion.
@@d3xmeister agreed what you said casio watches are like timex they are built to take the punishment
Agreed. Its more personal, more useful and interesting than pure "technical description" reviews.
A comment on the water resistance of the F-91w:
I have tested all of my Casio watches in a pool for an extensive period (an F-91w, an F-84w, a CA-53w, and an A700), and ALL OF THEM as it turns out are waterproof, not just splash resistant. They all functioned submerged without trouble, and even operation of the pushers (against Casio's recommendation) caused no trouble. I even did a math equation on the CA-53w while underwater!
Casio is notorious for under rating their aquatic performance.
I imagine this is because the buttons can wear out and lose their waterproofness. If you use the buttons a lot there would be the risk that could happen. Japanese companies tend to be very careful about making promises if they can be false under somewhat unlikely circumstances. Even if those promises would be true 99% of the time.
Some youtube reviewer said that the F-91w takes showers without any issue.
I do spearfishing and use my f91w all the time been using it for like 4 years.
I have the f84w also and have worn it in the shower almost every day for the last year. It's the perfect around the house watch.
@@mariomendez7727 this is a meaningful comment. how deep did you take it to?
This watch also allows you to set 4 time zones. You can hit just the SEARCH button to cycle through the 4 time zones. You can make any of them the main time zone by pressing the ADJUST and LIGHT buttons at the same time. This is a VERY NICE feature for a travel watch.
another reason the Casio World Time is referred to as the Casio Royale and associated with James Bond is its' passing resemblance to a watch that James Bond actually wore in Octopussy, the Seiko G757 Sports 100. The Casio round display in the upper left corner resembles the Seiko layout. Since the G757 is generally not available, the Casio is a good proxy for a watch that James Bond might actually have worn!
It's nice to see that after quite some years with heavy uses, the silver paint on plastic case still hold up without any noticeable scratch. Impressive.
After all this lore, now you just made want to wear an F-91 W
I got one around the time I first watched this video and it's now been to 4 continents and ~10 countries and served me well.
Love it! Glad to hear it’s been a great travel watch for you too.
It's almost a pity that your uploads are so few and far between. The presentation is stellar and you may have the best general taste of any and all watch channels.
Btw. my World Time runs +/-1 second per month so I'd still cry for that thing. Could be stranded on an island for 5 years and would still be more punctual than a Swiss watchmaker.
The reviews are few and far between, but that kind of makes them more special when a new video is uploaded.
I traveled across the USA and Mexico coast to coast with my CASIO WORLD TIME it swam in the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean and still running strong
When my job requires travel, this is my daily watch. It's light , comfortable and very practical. It's really a perfect travel watch with the world time and the alarms. Easy to use and set.
Best long form commercial for a watch ever. Anybody else want one now? Casio should pay you for this lol. Love your content please keep producing!
"Casio, are you reading this?" lol.
Yesterday I picked one up on clearance at a big box store for $7. I was going to clean them out, but I saw a couple kids looking at them as well, so I left a few for them. I've got a decent (14) collection of G-Shocks, an Oceanus T-2610, and a variety of of other Casio's. So I am a bit of a Casio fan, but this one somehow slipped under my radar. I am really liking this watch. It's very legible and comfortable. And it just looks really cool.
$7?? Damn, that's a total bargain. I just paid about $35 for one!
Best travel-watch video ever! Love your videos - well shot, entertaining and informative. They feel like 5 minutes.
This is total value review..Real experience while using it, with footage of your real travelling experience, I don't realise that I stay for the video until it finished. Bravo!
Just watched the video wearing my Casio Royale World Timer (All black 🖤). I recently took a road trip on my motorcycle and took 4 of my watches with me (Orient Ray 2, Bambino V2, Seiko SRPE43 and Casio Royale World Timer). I spent so much time worrying about the safety of my watches that I couldn't enjoy most of it. I made a mistake. Silver lining? I wore the Casio the most. I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said. This is a great travel watch. Thank you for your amazing content. I don't miss a video that you publish.
I have a request that you make a video of your travels. I'm sure people would love it.
This will replace my Apple Watch for travel. Apple Watch is great but a really high maintenance travel companion. This would have done FAR better on my recent Kenya trip. Thanks for a great review!
I'm currently wearing a Casio AE -1200 WHD on my wrist . I haven't tested it on trips abroad yet, but I'll give it a try on my trip to Pitești in the end of March.
this is exactly why I purchased this Casio Royale. It is my travel partner. love your reviews and thanks for the informative contents.
That money flex at the end was very cool
That F-91W fact has blown my mind😂
The thumbnail surprised me because this is the watch I've been wearing every day for nearly ten years! I've never seen anyone else talk about it before. You won't find a better watch in my opinion
I bought this watch in preparation for a trip to Australia and it was amazing to have. I didn't even know everyone thought this watch was great until long after I purchased it
As always! Fantastic review with tons of information!
Thank you very much! Love your videos!
Excellent review, mate. Keep them coming.
I really enjoyed and learned a lot from this video. I can relate to both Casio watches featured, as I own both of them.
Thank you!! ☺️👍
It's nice to see that you are still making videos!
Thanks, man! I love your videos
Really love your approach and thoroughness. Hope to see more. Subscribed. Thank you! This watch is my go-to travel watch as well.
Beautiful watch mate and wonderfully informative video!
This creator should deserve better recognition
This video was soooooo great !! Thank you !!
Outstanding review, thank you very much. I have this watch in the all black style, but now I'm going to buy the one you featured as I think it's so much better looking. Casio makes some incredible watches for very reasonable prices. I have several and all have been fenomenal. Thank you again for your great videos 🙏👍👏
I really enjoyed watching this video. I haven't felt entertained like this in years.
Love ur videos...great job ....u kept us waiting but worth the wait
HEY there you are!!! I love your channel, I really like your thoroughness and explanation of the watches and I've been waiting for you to upload! Clicked so fast I almost cracked my screen! Keep up the good work and take as long as you need between videos, as long as the quality doesn't wane, I can wait around all year! Keep it up
This is one of the best videos for this type of casio watch.
My Friend, I love your Videos,
Please do more of them.
Greetings from Germany
Danke schoen! I appreciate that and I'll certainly be doing more.
Have had a CA-53W with a crack for a while, and it's handled countless splashes and plunges just fine. Love these calculator watches!
Interesting information about the F-91w, I wear one all the time but I'm definitely gonna buy a world timer now also. Nice review.
I wouldn't recommend wearing an F-91W, especially in the US
@@videoms1271 why (i don't live in the US tho)
@@VihaanBelani bomb related thing
@@panduilmiprastyanto9079 yeah ik about that but i don't think 60% of them wouldn't even notice that
@@panduilmiprastyanto9079 by the same logic you shouldn't drive a Toyota pickup truck anymore, just because ISIS seems to love those things.
Many thanks for this clever and useful review! I really enjoyed it.
The world time function also has a quick swap function to change between the world time (the timezone you are traveling to) and the home time (press both top buttons at the same time when on the desired time zone) and also has quick access to the 4 configurable timezones accessible with the lower right button when in time mode.. These are both very usefull when traveling (especially for those who travel frequently between the same timezones)..
Great video! Loved the end story.
It's always a pleasant surprise when I see a new video from Wonders of Watchdom in my subscriptions box. The way you review watches is so in-depth, thoughtful, and refreshing (compared to the majority of watch channels). Keep up the good work!
I think that it’s also a great conversation piece. It looks much more expensive. Enjoyed your video. Thanks.
I really like your videos. Thanks for this gem.
Thanks I appreciate that!
i watched a full 20 mins video of a channel i never heard of about watches , i dont even wear watches ,pretty neat content .
Thanks, great review. You convinced me to buy one. 👍🏽
Well done. Ordered using your link. Thanks.
One of the best tips I’ve ever seen on CZcams…
Pls make more video just like this. I like the way you explain every point ❤❤❤
This is a great review. Very very good.
An excellent alternative if you want the 91w form factor but want to look less like a bad guy is the A168. Still $20 or less, stainless steel band, it's slightly larger and features an electroluminescent backlight.
Love this review I own this beautiful watch for a year and that’s my work watch it holds its own really good
Probably the best watch review I've seen.
I lost this watch a couple of years ago and now i know what the name is ! When u used it it was the best watch ever
Awesome review.
As an artist I always want to buy something like this. Ordering it right away.
Thank you so much and keep the good work
Glad to see you back. I really enjoy your prose, editing and narration. More of this, please!
I have only four reasons:
Cheap (easy to replace).
Timer (I use it a lot in my work).
10 atm water resist
10 years battery (no need to open the watch "ever" so the water resist is also at least 10 years).
Great video - thanks!
Casio watches have been a long time favorite of mine, very tough, affordable, and they just last forever.
Got a gift recently by my girlfriend. Always wanted this classic. Timezones feature is I liked instantly to set timezones of all footballing arenas and my workplace.
I’ve got two…all black and silver like yours. A great watch and also my travel watch of choice.
That was a great review. I have this watch and totally agree with all your points. Very well done..
Interesting insights into a watch I'd never have thought about.
Crazy, I drive truck, one time I left home for a 5 day trip and left my daily watch home, when I got to my first end of day stop there was a Walmart within walking distance and this is the exact watch I bought to be my beater travel watch. All of the points in your video are spot on.
Really nice video!
Excellent and informative
Such an entertaining and informative review.
Un super reloj, gracias por el video
Great watch....I'm wearing mine now.....love it.😀😺
Great review!
It's absolutely great, unorthodox, useful, and cool watch. I have several watches like Tissots, Citizens, etc. and all black version of this model. Suprisingly, when I wear this one, it grabs people's attention rather than my swiss made watches
Thanks for your review. I ended up getting this same model with the bracelet. I like it, have done a small mod to remove the "world time and illuminator" from the bezel, did it with a rubber eraser, looks a bit more classy now. I think I'll remove the module and take the "10 Year Battery and 5 Alarms" off to the make it less cluttered. I bought a screen protector with it. It doesn't really pill my arm hairs like I expected it to. The functions are great, I use all.of them. I'm happy with this purchase. Your review helped me decide to get it, thanks.
What a great review 😊 sure thinking of getting one
I have that exact same one and the Skmei gold homage of it. Love them both.
I love the orange backlighting
very good information, thanks for sharing
The Casio DW-291 is my designated travel watch over the AE-1200, for one reason - the 200m water resistance. Otherwise, it does everything the AE1200 does. The Casio Royale is still pretty great. I plan on modding mine to a steel case/sapphire crystal.
Great video, cool watch 👏👏👏👏👏
Very nice, thanks.
I watch your reviews even when I'm not interested in the watch, so seeing one I'm actually interested in had me clicking so fast! Good work man, the storytelling you put in and the travel footage adds so much to the video.
Deserve a like, much information I didn't even know I needed 😂😂😂
I really like the story telling with watches I’m ordering in Amazon now from Dubai it’s very relatable when you say stolen in hotels
This was such a good review
My grandpa got me this watch when it came out in 2012 so I could keep track of the time as a new freshman in high school. I never really wore it, I wasn’t into watches at the time. So of course, I lost it pretty quickly.
Fast forward to 2023 and I see one of my coworkers wearing the exact same watch. “Oh yeah I’ve had mine since sophomore year of high school, 2012. Best watch ever.
I just got a new one this morning lol I plan to mod tf out of it. So crazy how I treated this diamond like a piece of coal. I’ve caught the watch bug BAD. So far all I have are Casios, and I don’t really feel like I’ll need anything else.
Great story! Nice to hear that you rediscovered this one. You’ll be happy with it I’m sure.
@@WondersofWatchdom oh boy it’s my favorite watch lol I got a few mods for it.
It’s actually the one watch people seem to notice, I get compliments on it all the time.
Man this is a greeat great review of a watch i have seen so far,.
Specially the fact about the watch being a target. I always thought of it. Like how people wear expensive things and walk around with it
Great review. I just bought this watch ⌚️
I really enjoyed your review. It was a change from other typical watch reviews which are all about the materials, movements, and size. Yours seemed to feature how the watch exists in the "environment", which was interesting. Though having said that, I would have liked to know a bit about the sizing, e.g., fit on the wrist (under a shirt), and the ability to see the display (Too small? or Large enough to see easily). But then that would be a typical review. :)
Excellent video
I have this watch and love it!!!!
Fantastic review
Nice review. Looking forward to more videos.
Instant like! I love your videos
Nice! Thank you.
Fantastic storytelling as usual. Keep making those videos. Always something new to learn and really well done presentation. Your channel definitely stands out.
By the way, you should really make more videos. Great narrative, fantastic voice
I love the way of review
That's a great factoid about the F91W.✌🏽👍🏽
Very good,thank you!😊🙏
my pleasure
One concern you didn't seem to mention is the potential when hoisting shoulder straps over your shoulder, and other travel related activities, of snagging your watch and having the strap come loose, which usually leads to your watching hitting the floor hard, and maybe being lost. When I travel I wear an orange Seiko SKX-007 on a fabric NATO strap. That way if one pin gets bent and comes out of socket, the watch remains on my wrist.
Regarding travelling with a watch-icon, I once greeted some hikers in the Great Smokey Mountain national park and noticed one of them, a senior citizen, had on a Rolex submariner. I mentioned it before our brief conversation ended. (I always take a break to talk to passersby on the trails). He said he wore it all the time, never took it off. It was a very expensive TOOL watch, and I guess he justified owning it by always wearing it. I was just a little surprised he didn't have a sacrificial watch to wear in the back-country like that. My tool-watch is a Hamilton Khaki.
