    I would recommend using the term affordable over saying cheap. Casio makes watches very well and isn’t often seeking the cost cutting measures that the term cheap implies. When folks think value, they think affordable. Where cheap makes it seem like corners were cut. Offering many models at many prices, Casio remains one of the best choices around. I love the lists, keep ‘em up!

      In my opinion Casios are the best watches on earth. Expensive Swiss watches are more like an ornament and only insane rich can afford to make a collection and they are also not very accurate and in the words of a watchmaker expensive watches are not for checking time they are to show off money you have.
      Casios are the best watches for a man of 21 st century who wants to enjoy wearing a robust yet most accurate watch.
      By the way all automatic watches time and date is set by looking at an accurate watch and Casio is king of quartz.

    • @rangersmith4652
      @rangersmith4652 Před 2 lety +41

      @@WaqasAhmad-wz2wm My point relates to using the term "affordable." To Jeff Bezos, an 18K gold blue-dial Rolex Daytona is "affordable." To a student making his or her way through night school working two jobs, a $20 Casio might be the high-end of "affordable." In short, watch CZcamsrs should probably stop using the click-baity term; rather, they should state the price range to be addressed up front. Many do this, many do not.

    I collect Casio for a few reasons. Nostalgia is one reason. I was a kid in the 70s when digital watches first appeared. They were like nothing we'd seen before. Anyone under the age of 50 won't understand how amazing they seemed to us. I also love the fact that you can use them and not worry. Isn't that the whole purpose of a watch? If I owned a luxury watch I'd never wear it because I'd be too afraid of damaging it. The other reason is cost. People are spending more on luxury watches than I spend on my cars. It's madness. And who wants to wait years between purchases? I can buy a Casio every month and it's not a problem. It's so much fun opening a new box and seeing your latest acquisition. I specialise in the vintage style digitals.

      Same here on a tough solar Casio. But sourcing the replacement rechargeable battery locally is impossible in many regions of the world. So at first glance, solar is not even worth it compared to the 10 year battery. But you get much better illumination with solar and you can use it as much as you like. Just something to be aware of.

    Yay another Ben's Watch Club Casio video!
    The "classic square design from the late 1980s" - the Gshock came out in 1983! And that DW-5000 was clearly a ruggedized watch in the style of 50 other Casios that had been out since the late 1970s. Many digital watches at the time looked like this. Look at the first digital watch ever from 1972 - the Hamilton Pulsar P1. That inspired a generation.
    About 2 years ago those BEM-SL100D watches were listed all over eBay for around $60 - $80. There were like 50 of them. One well seen youtube video and they were gone a month later.
    One whole category of inexpensive Casios that you should look at are the resin analog watches. The MRW-200 is insanely popular and really durable. The MQ-24 series, which I think is the *most* popular Casio in Japan. The MRW-210 and MW-240 are the larger alternatives to these two watches. Then there are the many Casio "Forester" watches, plastic analog watches that come with nylon/leather straps and a light. There's a dozen variations of the FT-500 and FT-600.

    I have owned a number of Casios over the years. Currently I have two of the best Casio watches that I have owned (in their respective price range). I have always been a Casio fan, but these two watches have made me fall in love with the brand. Here is a brief overview of why I love my current Casios:
    1. G-Shock G9000 Mudman ($80)
    a. All the timekeeping bells and whistles for a digital watch.
    b. Mud resistant.
    c. 200m water resistance.
    d. Electro-luminescent backlight.
    e. One of the smaller dial G-Shocks.
    f. Built to survive armageddon.

    2. Edifice (EQB-800BL-1ADR) ($200)
    a. Though Solar. 5 months reserve even when using all functions.
    b. Black dial and body with silver markings and deep red accents. Matching leather strap. The depth of dial is beautiful. Brilliant finish.
    c. Seconds hand alignment that puts others in this price range to shame.
    d. Multi dial (day, battery level, one World time display with AM/PM indicator)
    e. Retrograde dials.
    f. No manual adjustment to date and time required. Bluetooth controlled.
    g. 100m WR.
    h. Chronograph with lap times, alarm, etc.
    i. Smart Power saving. Servings hand stops moving in dark, when battery is low, it moves every two seconds.

    Ben I seriously want your top 7 affordable casio watches of all time. Thanks
    Criteria:
    1. They have to be totally 7 unique models (meaning you can't include similar models with different colour scheme).
    2. They have to be thin, lightweight, compact and overall comfortable to wear.
    3. Good looks and functionality a must for everyday use.
    4. List should primarily focus on affordable watches (under 50 pounds or definitely under 70).
    Eagerly waiting for your reply (can make a video) as I have decided to buy few casio watches for myself.

  • @huckinator
    @huckinator Před 3 lety +47

    Although not as affordable as these others ($500 or so), the Oceanus (in my opinion) is the top notch casio watch. I have an Oceanus ocw2100 and it is incredible value. Solar powered, radio signal, titanium case, sapphire, 100m of WR, and a world time compilation (that auto sets using radio signal) and a date window. Sized up for my wrist it weighs 80 grams total. So light weight, comfortable, and the titanium is highly scratch resistant and finished extremely well

    Been using a w-800 for about a year now because of work, and I am super impressed with how it's held up over this time for a 20 dollar watch.
    It's been dunked in water, scratched and scuffed, covered in paint, cement, and chlorine, and it still works perfectly with no issues. The only part that's given me any trouble is the strap is starting to wear out so I might need to give that a replacement.

You've done great job with that in several videos.

    I think the Casio EFV-120DB-1AVUEF deserves a place on this list as well. It’s currently my daily driver. It has the same dial and size as the EFV-100D-1AVUEF but adds a rotating bezel and omits the polished links in the bracelet. Gives it the look of a tool watch.
    BTW I’d love to see a review of the Casio Oceanus OCW-T200S-2AJF somewhere in the future. To me it represents the pinnacle of Casio watches.

    Nice review of the Casio range. I have a Lineage LCW-M100 and couldn't be happier. The value is off the charts with solar, world wide atomic radio sync, titanium, sapphire crystal, ana-digi with day/date perpetual calendar, timers, stopwatch, alarms, world time, LED and lume, and standard lugs allowing swapping the band, all for around $200. For me it's the best time keeping instrument available for design and features at any price.

    • @Awkwardfruitfly

    • @sunsetsam33
      @sunsetsam33 Před 3 lety +1

      @@Awkwardfruitfly I almost never use the buttons. The timer, alarm and stopwatch functions are not useful to me, and since it auto syncs with atomic time for me there's almost never a need to use the buttons after the initial setup. The only one I may use is for the LED but even that's rare. I would prefer 4 buttons for symmetry if nothing else, but given all the other features of this watch that's a very small nit to pick.
