i agree with you, however, cheaper casio watches tend to be less durable, ie their band brake after 1-2 years and replacement is problematic. but for casual beater case, these watches are great. you have to take case use and frequency into consideration vs budget.

I recently bought the Casio AE-1000W-1AVDF. I paid $15 US dollars from Amazon for a used like new in a slightly crumpled box. It has the module of a Casio Royale with a round G Shock look. I got it because we will be driving from coast to coast through 4 different time zones. This has a convenient 4 time zone function. I have already ordered a canvas strap for it. At some time in the future I plan to mod it, probably color film over the World map and analog clock dial. Maybe hydro mod with Silicon oil. But I will finish our travels this summer before I risk disassembly. Enjoy your channel. We have a friend who a US Expat in Japan too. He teaches English to children in an expensive private school.

I'm a big fan of the DW-5600 G shocks and I own several. The big advantage of them is that you can replace the bezel if it gets beat up. You can also make a DW-5600 into a different color watch by replacing the bezel and watchband. Of course price is a big difference with the G shocks being more expensive, sometimes insanely so for special edition G shocks.

Since the mid-80s, when the first G-Shock came out, I've only owned them. My first one was the first US available model and I think I lost it in the early 00's by leaving it in a hotel room. My second one was killed by drywall dust. It got in behind the buttons and caused the contacts to become corroded. My third one is my everyday watch currently. It's a GW-500A. I think I'm on my second band. I don't recall when I got it, but it's been at least 10 years I also own the stainless dress watch. My wife bought it for me as an Anniversary gift about 5 years ago. I don't often have opportunities to wear it, but it sure is pretty. G-Shocks are the best watches and I wish they would make an Android Smart watch for me.

Nice watch from CASIO and nice review! Hey Dave can you take a look on the CASIO MTD 1053 D? It goes for 50$ here in Greece and it's a Diver with similar specs to the Duro which costs 75$ here and it is a great alternative to that. It's 41mm. I have one and it's a really solid watch apart from the bracelet and with proven water capabilities during my last summer and i have yet to see a good review for it which is odd given the great vfm. Cheers, love your work!

You can mute the beep, you can choose the 5 sec autostart or not (plus have a time when you want it to beep when it reaches that time), you can set the timer in seconds, minutes, and hours too (some watches can do minutes to an hour). The w-737h can be found for less than $25

When I ordered a g shock last week I had to send it back because it was just to small and feminine in comparison. Why do t they make them the same size as the SKMEI?
