@@jaysterling26 Other ABX versions have worse maps where selected time zone is not well visible. A500 and AE1200 also have similar map but they are tinier. I also like this digital overlay. I'm sad about this feature is not available in new watches. (at least I don't know about any new watch releases)
amazing memories of this watch! I've owned one back when I was 16 or 17 years old. My dad gave it to me and he bought it in 1998, I guess. What a nice and good watch! Sadly Casio doesn't do this kind of model anymore.
Thanks for the tip about setting the calendar year back 28 years because my old Casio watch was preprogrammed with a calendar ending in 2008. I have an old Casio Data Bank watch with a calendar that's a superimposed overlay across the entire screen.
I really like how seamless the LCD and analog face mesh here. I like Casio's current lineup of Wave Ceptors that mix analog and LCD quite a bit too but there's something to be said for how cleanly this one looks. The world time overlay is super cool too!
I really like this one. The great thing about it is that design of the face is simplified and you get way more functionality. Don’t have to worry about cutouts in the face.
I had even forgotten that there was such a watch. But what a great elegant idea of such a display of additional digital functions. I have no idea why this type of watch is no longer produced.
Hi Greg Wow this is without doubt the best of the Casio vintage reviews you have done so far , and the watch looks almost new, wouldn't it be great if Casio re-released some of these vintage watches from the 80s/90s but I suppose we can only dream , thanks again stay safe.
Awesome!!!! The TwinCept watches have always amazed me, and I am very happy I kept both of mine. I still have my first one of the ABX-20 and my 2nd one of the ABX-23. The ABX-23 is my favorite as not only is it the most accurate of all my quartz watches, but it also came with a nice Electro Luminescence backlight on it.
Thanks for show this version, very cool design for sure. I have an ABX-210 that is similar and was the original owner. Any chance you will do a cleaning/opening/repair video on these, especially to hep those replacing the battery extra. Would be beneficial to all for sure. Thanks again. Looking forward to more fo these videos.
My mom bought this watch for me on my birthday in 1996 I believe. I still keep it but the strap needs to change and I can't find the original strap anywhere :(
I really wish Casio would bring out an updated version of this watch, i like the world time map, i know there is the casio 'casino royale' model but the map on that one is so small.
Greg, have you ever tried to find/buy a Casio watch which was exclusive to Japan only and perhaps had Japanese text on it instead of predominantly English? I discovered that there are Casio models catered to some countries and markets. Found out there was a Casio watch which tells Muslims which direction Mecca is for prayer. Even has “prayer compass” text on it
I sometimes see that there are more color variations available in the Japanese market, like the different versions of the AWGM100. I haven’t found the ones quite so specialized as a Muslim prayer watch. It would be very interesting to find out more about those kinds of watches.
Heh..at that time I kept watching these in local watch store and I wanted them, but I damaged my plastic body Casio DB34 with heavy backpack ripping the strap out of the body and since that accident there is no way I will buy some plastic body watch again :) And it is sad that these were not made with stainless body. So I ended up with EFA110D that also have digi+analog combination and databank for some text and numbers..
Congratulations, nice video, I would also like some information, in case of replacement of the battery the information contained in the database is lost. Thank you
This watch is insanely cool! Casio should definitely re-release it!
The ability to show an LCD overlay is so cool.
Oh, that map..it's like a Bond villains- where to send the rockets?
@@jaysterling26 lol True...

I remember seeing ads for this watch in magazines when I was a kid. I wanted it so bad. Thank you for this blast from the past.

This vintage watch review series is bringing up some interesting watches.

Wow, definitely one of the best looking Casio watches. There is something about the color of the dial corresponding with the case color.

I Love this watch. Very clever and simply and a Beauty in all time.

@@heramoti123 It uses a CR2016
The condition of the watch is great for a 25 years old long!

Bonito relógio
Beautiful watch...!!! Thanks for sharing
There is actually a demo mode for this watch, keep pressing the Mode button for three seconds to activate it.
3:00 back to the future feature.
Yes. It’s a time traveler’s watch.
Lol i have an old data bank. I had the same fun trying to sync both analog and digital time lol👍🤣🤣🤣
Been using it since it came out, even bought a spare second one in case it breaks, but it keeps running and running.
Nice Video, and nice watch too. Know it, because i have the same in my collection as long as you did. Keep on the good work :)
Futuristic.

Didn’t know this can become collectible. I had one in middle school.

I've never seen a casio with Japanese text. Even the oceanus watches which are exclusive to Japan, only have English text.

Great watch .
Perfecto 👌🇯🇵🇯🇵
i had another version of that watch where you could have a calendar on the screen i think i bought it in 1998
I like this watch

Nice review. Please try to review the Casio gq-1000j alarm clock.
Hmmm. I’m not sure where I could find one which receives WWVB.
Thank youuuuuuu
I had one, it is broken now.
The back light is important.
I think this ABX-53 doesn't have any back light
اكثر من رائعة
Can you adjust the hands?
I am first i think. Cool watch
Why is not EL- BACK LIGHT function ？
When this watch was released Casio wasn’t really using the EL Backlight yet. But a few years later they were using it on more and more watches.
This would have been a good watch if it had timer mode
Tem luz?
Sir ,I am from India like your show ,Where to Get this watch Abx53 in India ,can you help me🙏
Stealthy watch
Can i turn on the light on this one??
It doesn't have light😊
Can you still get one of these or something like it
Unfortunately, it looks like the only place to find these is eBay, where they are not new.
