    Looks rock solid for the price, have a friend looking for one so I reckon this is it for him

    Can vouch for this. Was my very first watch and the one which started my collection many years ago. Still wear it around when I camp as it can take a beating, and being a quartz movement, is as accurate as you can get.

    Also Bill Gates wears this watch haha

      It was one of my 1st watches too, great watch for the price.

      Don't you love it when billionaires wear reasonably priced watches.

    Good deal, I had the blue one and quite liked it but ultimately moved it on as I already have automatic divers in my collection which are very similar (Orient Mako II, Invicta Pro Diver etc).

    My strong recommend is to get a 22mm NATO or metal bracelet with curved end links (can be had cheaply off Aliexpress) as the stock resin strap is truly nasty.

    • theguyrules on 08/03/2021 - 15:57

      My stock strap snapped, not while I was wearing it but when I went to take it out of a drawer.
      Weird.

      Could I be annoying and get you to post an example of a strap you mean from Aliexpress?

        I recently bought this: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/4000606250694.html
        Got them delivered in about 2-3 weeks, and it's absolutely crazy how good the quality of these is.

        • cushydeskjob on 08/03/2021 - 17:55

          Thanks for the heads up on this one, it's going onto my SKX171.

          • edBARGAIN on 08/03/2021 - 18:33

            @cushydeskjob: Did it come up to $23.87 including tax and delivery for you?

            @cushydeskjob: SKX171? Mate I really hope you know what you're doing :) and if they are compatible then you're getting a great bracelet.
            It fits my Duro, but not my SRP779, as the curve of end links is different. AliExpress used to have steel bracelets for SRP77x but it seems all listings are oos now.

    • The Vat on 08/03/2021 - 20:56

      I swapped a black nylon Seiko strap from an SNK and it suits the watch well. It's a very good quality unit for the money. They'd make a great daily beater.

    so tempting. I prefer a busier dial but for a work basher this would be fine.

    Being a tradie, i can't wear a decent watch to work..

    Thx @Watchnerd. Keep 'em coming..

        Personal opinion, but nothing beats the class of a good old analogue watch.

  • BigDave on 08/03/2021 - 17:56

    Had one of these for about a year. Dropped it once and the glass face shattered. I really like casio watches but this one did not last very long for me. The lume is also pretty bad, as already mentioned. YMMV but there appears to be very little shock protection with these, unlike their G-shocks. I did really like the look of it, however.

    • WatchSnob on 08/03/2021 - 20:04

      Most watches have a very high chance of damage if dropped. G-shocks are the exception because they're designed to withstand it, but they're a very particular style and digital in some way. For everything else - don't drop it.

    • OBarty on 10/03/2021 - 01:03

      Interested in selling the broken one?

    Thanks watchnerd. Ordered one for my partner who is tiny, but big watches look good on her. I've had one of these for 3 or 4 years. Oh, and it looks as though these still have the marlin symbol!

      Wow can't believe they've removed the marlin!!!

      I might have to buy another one, if these actually have the marlin they will become collector items.

  • CheapCoffee on 08/03/2021 - 18:23

    Hey WatchNerd - I'm looking for something really similar in pricing and style that I can use while out in the sea (kayaking!), but this is too big for my tiny wrists. I did a quick search but couldn't find any in this line that's smaller. Do you know any decent ones closer to 38mm - 40mm mark?

    I used to have Invicta 8932OB somewhere but I can't seem to find it after couple of moves :(

    • WatchNerd on 08/03/2021 - 18:27
      +1

      Did you see my now expired Invicta 8926OB post? That's 40mm.

      • CheapCoffee on 08/03/2021 - 18:41

        Mate. Right after I typed my question - I had an almost movie like epiphany on exactly where I placed the watch and it was there when I opened an unmarked box. It's out of battery and needs a rubber strap so I can use it close to the water but I will take it as money saved!

        Also I just watched how to remove the date magnifier on your link so I might go try that. Much appreciated as always :)

  • CalmLemons on 08/03/2021 - 18:48

    how was this compared to the last seiko solar deal. I was planning on wearing that as an everyday beat around, this seems like a more sensible option.

    @WatchNerd

    How do you feel door the Casio F91W?
    https://www.amazon.com.au/Casio-F91W-1-Classic-Resin-Digital…

    • cashie on 09/03/2021 - 10:23

      Remember it’s a very small watch. Band is women or kid size.

      • ak47wong on 09/03/2021 - 10:40

        I'm not a woman or a kid and had no problem with the band (I have a 17cm wrist).

        • cashie on 09/03/2021 - 14:03

          Oh ok, there are several reviews on Amazon stating it is a small band:

          "Casio always works very well, this one is for kids or women fits me just on last hole on band 😁 my mistake should have read specs but I'm happy"
          "We hadn't expected this watch to be so small, to be honest."
          "this is useless if like me you have a large wrist"
          "This watch is good for a child. Have to use last hole on strap to fit my wrist"
          "I had this watch before and this looks smaller than the one I had it’s more like for women Or teens but the quality is the same"

    • ak47wong on 09/03/2021 - 10:39

      What more needs to be said about it? If you Google, there are about 100 articles about it being some sort of cult classic. Personally I think you get better models for a few dollars more, like the W213 (about $35 here) which has a countdown timer, 5 alarms, a slightly better 4-button UI, better water resistance, longer battery life, and much better illumination (the F91W has a rather weak side lamp that only lights up about half the face).

  • tightartist on 09/03/2021 - 16:36

    if you don't have prime this looks cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/Casio-MDV106-1AV-Analog-Watch-Black/d…

      Yes, it has 200m water resistance and a screw-down crown.
