@@RobertNES816 many divers still do. Its easier to set the time right on a watch while on a plane or traveling than the time on a dive computer. Some computers are easier to set than others, but a dive watch is easiest. Return times are set by clock, regardless of how long you dive, and being late to return can get a diver into trouble.

odd, doesn't take much to make the bezel spin, or the crown screw down, the real cost is milling the steel to form a case. All Casio needed to do was fit this movement, face and hands in Duro case which has been around for ages; Duro case is pretty loose inside for the current movement, so is this solar watch, easy to add spacers to make it fit right. 🤔

Many of your viewers are disappointed with the fixed bezel and I agree. But at this price, something's gotta give. What do you cut? Stainless steel case? Solar? 100m WR level? Options include the MRW200's which DO have a rotating bezel but not steel and not solar, or trading up to the "Duro", but still no solar. Frankly, I do not know how Casio sells some of their under $30 at retail watches, both analog and digis, and make any money. I am grateful for Casio, as well as your very comprehensive reviews.

These non moving bezels are such a let down and a bit of a con. Its not as if the online descriptions always make it clear. I do expect more honesty from Casio.

To be fair, the Casio website calls it a “CASIO Diver Inspired Solar Analog Watch.” I don’t know why they didn’t make it a rotating bezel since they must know how much folks enjoy that on the Duro. But I, for one, find myself never turning the bezels on my diver-inspired watches anyway. The only times I seem to touch them is when I notice they’re not aligned directly with the 12:00 marker and I turn them to be that way.
