Yes these caught my attention too!
Thanks, I didn't know how thin they were, very classy!
Yup. When I saw these on other videos, I didn't think it was going to be this thin. Until I put on my wrist, my jaw simply dropped. Good job Casio! Anyways, thanks for watching!
A tip: watch series at flixzone. Been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Maxton Rene Yup, I have been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :D
You're the first and only watch reviewer to know that diameter applies to round objects. Thank you for that and for the review. Nice job. 👍🏼
Thanks for watching bro 😎
Great video! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the LA670. I love mine, it's so tiny!
Hey man. I think it's too small for me. The A700W is the smallest I could go. Thanks for watching 😎
I like the band on the A700 but like the monotone face of the WM
Well, get them both! Thanks for watching 😎
Hey nice review! Do you think it's possible to put these straps on the Casio A1000?
I've never handled the A1000 before. But I think the lug width on the A1000 is 18mm as well. So there should be no issue. Thanks for watching 👍
nicely explained and straight to the point! :D by any chance are you malaysian or singaporean?
Hello there. I'm a Malaysian. Thanks for watching 😎
@@NMwatch 7:48 Can you please tell the name or link to buy that bracelet/Strap ?
❤ From India 🇮🇳
My A700 keeps brilliant time accuracy that's y I put the watch itself in my f91w case 👍
I'd imagine that there will be some gap between the display and the watch crystal? Anyways, thanks for watching 👍
@@NMwatch no fits perfectly fine no difference what's so ever 🇨🇮👍
Cool! Enjoy your modded F91 in good health brother!
@@NMwatch thank you bro likewise 💯❤️👍👍
Hello nice video! I plan to get the A700W the black one, I have a 6.2 inch wrist and want the watch to fit quite tightly, will it fit me? Or will there be a lot of excess band from the bracelet?
Hey man. I think it would fit just nice on your wrist. As long as your wrist is bigger than 6 inches, you'll be just fine. And if you like, you can also checkout my 5 Best Straps video for this watch for other straps idea. Thanks for watching 👍
Great video....same wrist size so I can base it on that. I'm still confused why these are being sold as a womens watch. They both look good...but I will try to get the mesh one.
I think maybe because they are so thin and shiny? 😅 Anyways, thanks for watching 😎
They are very small. I just got one and I don't know that I'll keep it. It is very thin and small. I don't have a large wrist and it looks small on me.\
Is the maximum length of the straps of both a700w and a700wm same or different? Pls tell me which one has the less length.. My wrist size is 6.5. Is the a700wm suitable? I heard that wm is suitable for big wrists as it's starp length is more. Please recommend me any one in the view of size of the strap. I am going to buy one tomorrow.....
Hey man. Both the straps are the same length. If your wrist size is 6.5 inches, you can still use the original bracelet. If your wrist size is 6 inches, you'll need to swap the bracelet with something else. Thanks for watching
Can I swap the straps? I love the WM (in all gold) but I like the straight bars better than the mesh band. What is the lug width?
The lug width is 18mm. You need to source for a thin strap/bracelet for this Casio because the space is not that big. Thanks for watching
@@NMwatch Thanks for this also, really wanted to find out the lug width.
Would u recommend it for 7.5 inch wrist...? I thought of getting a700wm
Hey man. Personally I think it's a bit too small for you. But if you don't mind smaller watches, go for it anyway. Thanks for watching 😎
The one with the mesh, which is the one I REALLY want is going for $79 on Amazon, compared to $27 for the other one! On one hand, I can't justify spending $79 on a resin watch and on the other hand, I don't like the value option much, despite the fact that it's a fraction of the cost! 😫
Hey man. I think that might be due to the supply and demand. In my, the mesh version is just slightly higher priced, but totally justifiable. Thanks for watching 😎
@@NMwatch How much does it go for in your area? Kindly share a link to where the price is better
@@sloopjohnbee3504 for the mesh strap version or the other one?
Can you put the bracelet of a700w to a700wm? I'm not a fan of grained bracelets but I love the face of the a700wm
Yup. They can be swapped between each other
@@NMwatch thank you for your quick reply. What about other straps like a159 or similar?
I wish you could get the A700WM with the A700W wrist band.
That is why I have both 😂. Thanks for watching
@@NMwatch Can you change their wrist bands and swap them over?
@@JacquesButcher there are a lot of 18mm mesh straps, you can just buy those
hello! nice video! My wrist is just under 6 inches and I wonder if the strap will fit me since you said that the a700WM is too big for your wife. Should I get the a700W ? Thanks!
Hey man. My wife's wrist size is 5.5 inches. So both the bracelets on the A700W and A700WM didn't fit her. As for you, maybe you should try it at the store before you purchase, but even if it didn't fit, I'm pretty sure you can get aftermarket straps for it (check out my strap fashion show videos). Thanks for watching 😎
Brother, you sound a lot like me, haha! It feels like I'm watching myself.
It's good to know that you like how you sound😅 Thanks for watching 😎
Is it possible to remove the resin body for a future stainless steel case mod?
Not that i want to remove anything from the watch but I'll check if it's possible. Thanks for watching 💪
Hello, I came here for the same exact reason
Been looking around on stainless steel mods but no luck so far.
I have looked everywhere on the internet for Casio watches CAD files to get accurate dimensions but no luck.
I have modeled the A168 in Inventor but all the dimensions were measured by myself so I assume a lot is wrong.
I am thinking of buying this watch, modeling the body and CNC machining it from some light durable metal such as magnesium or titanium, then taking the electronics and the strap from this watch.
Any thoughts ?
Thoughts: you are gonna need precision when measuring because those buttons don't have a lot of space between them and the case. Also the glass/acrylic won't look/work right if it's not precise enough so yeah
Купил себе такие же правда в 2023 году
Good for you. And thanks for watching 😎
Hi. Which casio do you think is better? Which one do you prefer?
Hey man. Personally, I prefer the A700W. Because I like the black dial and those additional colours on the printings. The silver is a bit plain for me, but the mesh bracelet is excellent, albeit too long for smaller wrist. Thanks for watching 😎
Does anyone know if the display on other Casio vintage series come as close to the dial window as the a700?
Hey man. I think this is the only model from Casio vintage series that has display close to it's crystal. Thanks for watching 😎
@@NMwatch
Thank you sir.
Considering more Casios but difficult when a700 is so well done. Now thinking about that Presage and beautiful herringbone strap...
I have a watch addiction problem... 🙂
Oh well, I'm close to 60 watches until December last year, so I'm kind of guilty too😂
@@NMwatch
Thanks I feel better.
I really want to avoid that situation.
You have a problem, sir. 😂
What is the WM meaning in a700wm
I'm not really sure about that bro. Casio never really shared any information about this. Thanks for watching 😎
So i heard this apparently use a c1616 battery? Causing this to have shorter battery life?
I'm not really sure how short is it going to be, but I've had this for about 1 and half year now, still going strong. Thanks for watching bro 👍
@@NMwatch ok thanks fpr the info anyways
Your looking realistically around 7 years minimum I imagine.
Hey man it says it's water resistant but upto how much meters?
I think if it says water resistant without any ratings, I'll just wear it to the shower. No deeper than that. Anyways, thanks for watching 😎
Which would you choose among a168, a700 and b640?
My pick would definitely be the A700. Thanks for watching man
@@NMwatch why? I´m on the fence between the A168 and the A700
@@pedromonteiro2644 The A700 is thinner, more legible and modern looking while maintaining that vintage vibe. And the bracelet is more usable compared to the A168. Maybe you can check out Ben's Watch Club CZcams channel. He discussed this in details.
@@NMwatch thanks a lot! I was leaning more towards the A700 tbh and you just helped me decide. Plus the A168 is also really common so I want to go with something different
@@pedromonteiro2644 Yes you should. It is seriously 1 great watch that not many people know about yet.
You said the bracelet on the A700WM is too large for a 5.5" wrist. Is the bracelet on the A700W-1A also too large for a 5.5" wrist?
Yup. Same issue. I had to source another bracelet to fit my wife's wrist. Do you want a link for it?
@@NMwatch Yeah, that'd be great! Thanks.

@@NMwatch Sorry, I might be asking a bit much, but have you ever found a smaller, similar band for the A700W? I'm having trouble searching. The beads of rice bracelet is nice, but the vintage look of the original bracelet is too good to pass on.
@@treasure2914 Hmmm.. I haven't found yet. But you can search for a fine mesh bracelets from AliExpress or if you want something of higher quality, go for Strapcode. But I don't think they'll have that tapering design. Only straight 18mm all the way from top to bottom.
Can these two watches swap the straps ?
Yup. That's what I have been doing so far. Thanks for watching 👍
7:48 Can you please tell the name or link to buy that bracelet/Strap ?
❤ From India 🇮🇳
Hey man. I've bought it from AliExpress a few years back and they are no longer available at the store. I'll keep searching. Thanks for watching 😎
@@NMwatch okay please give link if you find
@@im_godsnt3280 Hey you found the link?
spend S$32 for the white one and A700 w (dark face) S$46 which i think i pay extra. i try shoppe so expensive and sold out. the price in S$
In Shopee Malaysia, the black one was cheaper. I'm not sure why it's the other way around in Singapore 😂. Enjoy your Casios man!
The one on the Milanese bracelet is up to between $75-100 on US-Amazon now!!! Price gouging BS! 😝 The other one is $25
I bought the A700W for about USD25 and the milanese bracelet version for about USD30. Maybe Christmas gift buying made them charge higher? Anyways, thanks for watching 💪🏻
@@NMwatch low stock... High volume sales.... When the more reputable distributors have them back in stock.... Instead of the shady ones.... They'll probably return to normal
The price difference could be because of the mineral glass on the gray faced one vs acrylic on the black faced one.
Hello there.
I don't think there's a difference between the glass for these two. But I'll check again. Thanks for watching bro 👍
@@NMwatch casio site disagrees lol
@@dimitrijekrstic7567 Can you give me a link?
@@NMwatch www.casio-intl.com/asia/en/wat/watch_detail/A700WM-7A/
@@NMwatch in reality it makes no sense for one to have glass and other just acrylic, and the site could be wrong
Where can i buy this in malaysia?
Hello there. You can buy these in Lazada or Shopee. Search for the seller "All_in_one_hub". Thanks for watching
NMwatch thanks! They are trusted original sellers yes?
NMwatch because their f91 is quite cheap compared to casio official store
@@Hisako86 yup. I'd always go for the trusted cheaper seller.
@@NMwatch Hi, how much did you get the A700W & A700WM from shopee? Thanks
$20... lol 2 years later, that watch is now $35 =(
Oh yes. Definitely can't get it at 20 bucks anymore. Thanks for watching 😎
