“ but I can’t call the guy that wears a Casio a true watch enthusiast or expert”?! Wow… That’s one of the more snobby (and ignorant) takes on being a watch enthusiast I’ve ever heard. Pure crap. I own a Rolex, a Sinn, a Monta and many other fine watches and I own about six Casio‘s which I also dearly love. I love wearing my Casio Duro. I put it on a great NATO strap (probably cost more than the actual watch itself) and it looks great!

Funny how that viewer mentioned it 2:27. I actually spent a lot less time on your channel during your collaberation with Watchbox, mainly because those watches featured did not meet my budget, and my everyday lifestyle. I wouldnt dare to wear a 20k FPJ (I love their watches OMG!) on job time, but a solid Sinn U2 or a beater SKX would seem to be more realistic and practical, at least for me personally. I am glad that I no longer need to wait for my next tax return to come in, in order to buy a watch featured here. Keep it basic, keep up the good work, onwards, and upwards, ciao.

I got W86 too,i'm wearing that watch and i don't feel it on my wrist, just like a F91 but with a perfect light. That watch is like an old wine, it can be only better over time. Is person with a 10 USD Casio F91 on the wrist less valuable than person with a 100 000 USD watch on the wrist? NO, DEFINITELY....a watch is like a personal opinion, it can be good or bad but you must respect it. I don't respect only fake watches because that person who is wearing that fake watch is a fake probably,that fake thing is telling a lot about personality. Nice video TGV, like usually.

Hi TGV Casio is horology just as much as the expensive watches. Even more than many of those, as Casio has brought a whole new way of thinking watches to the table. Some people don’t like them, and that’s ok. But to claim that the brand isn’t significant horological is snobbery... I only possess one at the time; my beloved G Shock which is supposed to be my beater watch. But I catch myself babying it. Very practical for work situations with the alarms and stuff. The very cheap models you show here can do exactly the same though. Very nice vid in the original Urban Gentry style. Give us more, please.

There’s no stigma against Casio. There’s only ignorant classism. Only people who base their ‘love’ of watches on a given watche’s associated dollar-value or perceived exclusivity could possibly hate Casio. The value to those people is being able to show that they have an expensive thing that ‘the poors™️’ can’t get (to feel better about themselves by feeling like they’re better than someone else). I guess it’s a legit view if someone feels like the only way to get their self esteem is to buy it. 🤷♂️
