This is a new model. So prices at the moment are very inconsistent. I expect the price to settle around the $60 mark in the future. If you are willing to be patient, you'll likely save a bit of money.

Don't think it looks like an alpinist but it certainly is beautiful!

I love Casio's....and I really love the look of this! The black dial with the green bezel is nicely done, super legible hands and the orange seconds hand is a nice touch. I agree it looks great on that nato strap, gives it real outdoor vibes. I've got a Duro which I wear quite happily so I'm ok with the case size. Overall it looks fantastic and I think Casio have done a really good job. I'm definitely in! Cheers Kieron, congrats on 25k subs. Well deserved mate 👏

If they put an elapsed time or countdown bezel instead of the compass, these watches would be selling like mad with scalpers on the job, I reckon. Not many uses for the compass bezel on a day to day basis, but quite a few on a dive or countdown one.

@evanspivack2714 2 ай бұрын

If they left off the day, or even better used a six o clock date, this would EASILY be a winner. But the day at 4 unfortunately kills it for me. Great review, thank you!

@benfearnhead9851 2 ай бұрын

I totally get your point about the 44mm thing. I've come to the conclusion that what makes a watch appear large or small has more to do with the dial diameter than the case diameter. I've got a 40mm diver which looks perfect to me, as somebody who prefers smaller sizes, because the bezel is 5mm wide so it actually creates a 30mm dial and the watch doesn't look large. This works both ways as I've got my Dad's Rotary dress watch he wore in the 80s/90s which manages to appear masculine and large enough despite being a 34mm case by having a 32mm dial - so the dial really fills out the watch face. This Casio looks fantastic especially for the money. Thanks for the review!

@gregs.2679 23 күн бұрын

4:00 is a very traditional position for both crowns and date windows in Japanese horology, including some VERRRY expensive pieces. If you hate it, I'm not going to say you're wrong, but just that these designs aren't going to be appealing to all Westerners, even if they are inveterate Asian watch collectors. Personally, I like it enough that I'm already wondering if there's a Japan-only version with the typical Kanji/English day-of-week wheel. Probably not at the $60 price point mentioned here, but I'd still be interested.

It doesn't have the compass ring tho. But I feel Casio could've done better here, being solar at least. Nothing sucks like watch needing new battery when in the wild or travelling.

In some ways Casio did a great job on the watch. 44 mm is the minimum size I will go for, so that is appealing to me. I like the green bezel and that it is water resistant to 100 meters. I really like the markers and the hands. And I like that it has a day & date, for me a must have. But I would prefer the colander to be at the 3 o’clock, not 4 o’clock position. But the real deal breaker is the seconds hand. They made it beautiful but it clicks from second to second instead of smoothly running around the dial. Even my Invicta Pro Diver uses the Seiko Mecaquartz to achieve this elevated performance. Hope you’re listening, Casio. You made a really stunning and functional watch, but that seconds hand needs to be smooth. I’ll keep watching for the upgrade.

This is a nice looking watch, but the compass bezel is an affectation and plays no useful function, of course. As long as you can locate the sun and know what time it is, you can plot directions.

Two, for every online retailer who featured it on their site (out of stock, of course) it was almost double the price! Cool watch though.

I like it but there are three negatives from me: 1) The size. I know you say it wears smaller but 40mm is still my upper limit and I prefer 38mm to 39mm. 2) The definition between the hands isn't clear enough. 3) I'm not a huge fan of the 4 o'clock date window although it does make sense when tilting the arm to look at the watch.
