Another cheaper alternative to the casio a1000 is the skmei 1806. It doesn't have the same quality as the casio, but for around $15 dollars it's a decent watch.

The Rubik is a great watch that personifies that 70s-80s look that is so much fun! The one failure is the backlight. For the most part I wear this as a day watch only. I love the look of the Casios, but I'm not a fan or resin cased watches. Nice to see Armitron is still providing a stainless steel alternative at a very reasonable price. Thank you for sharing your impressions and introducing this "winner of a watch" to the uninitiated!

You're really good at this. Glad to be among your first 500 subs.

Great, Great great! Like your knowledge on these watches, in depth. I need a rubik now!

Wristrants, thank you for this informative and thorough video. I really like this Armitron and wanted to watch a review. I'll be checking out your channel. Best regards. Edit: If you're looking for a digital option that scratches that itch, I also recommend the Casio A178 (better light and the form factor is a little bigger, with bigger digits, not to mention that you can make a small alteration to activate the timer function, which I did and it works great). Another option, if you can find it, is the Casio DB-520, packs a lot of functions and retains that 80's vibe (terrible light, but it keeps true to the original). Both options come in resin case, but make for a great watches in any colletion.

Wow, great video! Armitron is the watch brand of my youth, so I was happy to see its victory in this comparison.

Finally someone talking about this amazing watch , I have two 😂. I have the one with hooded lugs also

I was hoping for an illumination test here.

I've already scratched my itch for a better f91 with my W217h, but i really wanted a steel case basic digital without modding or spending over $100 for a Casio that ISN'T a G SHOCK. I'm sold on the Rubik.

Very respectable competitor. I'm slightly unsure about the swimmer in the dial, as it's not that much water resistant.

I have this exact watch. It's one of my favourites

Nice Cool video tho.....Thx for motioning out the Armitron.

Is the Rubik's and Rogue's crystals really mineral glass ? Armitron's website shows them both as acrylic resin. Normally if it is glass the bevel on the crystal is normally opaque white, but photos shows it as clear which leads me to believe it is indeed acrylic.

great review! Casio 168 series pls and casio worldtime

This was a great video

there's so many vintage digital watch out there that has been discontinued from seiko, citizen to rolex but armitron chose to make similar model to casio f91 & f168, so lazy 😔

The Rag & Bone Casio actually has sapphire glass.

link to the 30 dollar mesh band rubik? cant find it that price is it 55 now?

This seems to work great on a nato

Nice

Casio is a piece of trash compared to Armitron. Armitron is all 316l stainless steel. It is a beautiful affordable sports watch option. It even comes in gold tone. And I do not mean it is plated. It is a fully gold tone watch that is absolutely gorgeous. No other digital watch compares to Armitron. None
