The Best Must-Have Everyday Watch Under $30: Casio A700W-1

Рет қаралды 168,241

Жыл бұрын

At every price point in the watch world, there are go-to options, and at under $50, Casio rules supreme. But what about even less? Is it possible to get a watch that can do it all? For many people, the preferred choice is the Casio F91W-1 at an astonishing $10, or its more upscale metallic cousins, the A158W-1 and A168W-1. But in 2019, Casio unleashed a new kid on the block, the A700W-1, which challenges these heavyweight icons with something even more compelling. In this video, I review the Casio A700W-1A and discuss some of Casio's most iconic and influential watches. Join me for an 80s nostalgia-fueled extravaganza, to find out more about why this watch is so amazing, and why you should consider getting one. Whether you're a seasoned watch collector with the rarest and most expensive watches, just getting into the hobby, or need one watch for less than $30 that will do it all and last a lifetime, this is the video for you. What do you think about the watches featured in this video? Please share in the comments.

I noticed you mention the backlight of the A168 where I believe you're referring to the A158, as the A168 has the unbeatable electro luminescent backlight. Regardless, good to know this watch also has a good backlight. Thanks for the great content as always.

Really cool video, TGV. It is remarkable to see how so many brands are beginning to recycle the trends of the 80s. I remember how stark and in-your-face the fashion was then, and everyone was absolutely sure that such style would never return. Casio remaking this is just yet another testament that fashion is indeed cyclical. (I hope that Bond recycles his watches and comes back to Rolex (maybe Tudor) - I doubt it though Rolex won’t pay and Swatch will). Anyway, really amazing history and background on such a historic, fun, and iconic piece. Well done, my friend. Hope you and yours are well. Onward and upward! All the best!

As a kid growing up all the way to my early 30's, apart from a few weeks wearing Swatch (I think it was a Picasso inspired splat) and a day of a Gold Tissot I wore Casio, from the cheapest digitals, to their G-Shock range. Now I prefer wearing Swiss timepieces, but the love for Casio can never be turned off. Spent decades on the wrist for that. Just a few days ago I bought the Casio MRW-200H, fit it with a Goldfinger Nato as a replacement for my old Beater which the lug broke recently (MQ-24 style). It's brilliant.

The “polished” case top and bottom doesn’t wear well, scuffs up quick and it shows . The case is like 7mm thick which is ridiculous!!! But it’s too thin, the stainless steel bracelet is almost thicker and just doesn’t look right.

*Great video* Takes me back. Takes me waaay back. Going to pick one of these up for my teenage daughter. Based on the clothes she wears, and (some of) the music she listens to, the 80's are definitely back. I'll put it on a blue and pink nylon strap. Fingers crossed on whether it gets any actual wrist time.

I've been watching tgv here for quite sometime. Actually since pre covid when I was still in highschool haha. I'm admittedly still young at 20 years of age, but thanks to the likes of tgv, iv gotten myself in to the wonderful world of horology and time pieces slowly building a collection. Currently having three seikos, a turtle, alpinist and panda speedtimer, and have just recently bought a bulk purchase of 8 casios. I was thinking of buying a persage line watch to add to my seiko collection, but my mum recently found her old collection of casios. We had a small talk about the history of her experience with casios, and long story short it got me hooked. Just bought 7 casios from the vintage line and the ae1200h due to my affinity for james bond, and the inspiration he has become for me. Inclusive of what was bought were of course the a700, the iconic a100 alien watch, a158, a168, two aq800e's with one black and one white dail, and a b640. All for the same price as one persage seiko 😅. But thank you tgv for being who you are and the content you provide. Which provides both affordable and luxury options.

I just bought this a couple of weeks ago on the milanese strap and I absolutely love it. I own a few casio watches and I've worn this one more since I've had it than any of my others. I might just have to buy this one with the stainless steel strap now.
