7 Best & Coolest Casio Watches $10 To $50 You Should Consider Buying 

Finally, my budget. Lmao

I missed Hugo. He is part of the dream team in Urban Gentry

Amazing to see how many of these under $50 watches are part of the “50 Watches that Have Changed the World.” Proud owner of 5 of the 7 watches featured in this video. Keep the good work, sir!

Every UK 80's kid watching this got a hit of nostalgia as they recognised the Argos catalogue Casio spread at 8:49

hey TGV, spaniard here. indeed, Duro has the exact same meaning as in italian. saludos!

I ordered a couple of G Shocks for myself for Christmas and I wear an F-91 every day at work. I love Casio. The fun and nostalgia simply can’t be beat. Thanks TGV!

Couldn't click fast enough... excellent vid and as always much love

I wear a F-91W everyday.

You're absolutely killing it. The intros are hilarious and your information is valuable. Thank you!

That intro must've taken some effort. 10/10

I can't stop laughing just watching Hugo! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That intro was just impeccable. Hope to see more of Hugo... he deserves it after that mission LOL

When growing up in the 80s and early 90s we couldn't get enough of new digital functions from our Casios. Funny how - now that everything is digital - the mechanical wristwatch remains a stronghold of purely analogue technology and Casios seem to evoke nostalgia at least for a part of GenX and early GenY folks.

Best intro yet, TGV! Great choice for this particular video. Love it!

Hugo shooting with the AK47 is hilarious man I choked with my food hahahaha

Thanks so much! Love the Casio info. Stay warm with the snow coming!

Collecting Casios is equally rewarding and addicting :D

Personally I think one of the best watches ever made is casio a158. It is easy to read, super lightweight, have the most needed functions and a comfortable bracelet. It is very reliable, they even write you cant break this module in any way. I heard that a railroad worker, who by the way later became a master watchmaker, had some casio watch running extremely precise, at several seconds a year, without any thermocompensation. Even the railway station itself checked time by his watch

Yes Hugo is back! Thanks for the videos TGV. Have a merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.

New subscriber and I have just binged most of the videos back to back. Absolutely love your passion. Really good reviews and history as well. I've had a small collection of Spaceman Audacieuse watches over a few years but I know nothing about other watches. Trying to educate myself pretty much from scratch. Your channel has helped very much. I've just bought a Citizen Nighthawk and I have a feeling this is going to be the start of a much bigger collection.

This video brought back the nostalgia! I have so many fond memories of Casio in my childhood :) from the first digital piano I ever played on to my parents alarm clock - and of course my first f-91w my mom bought me. Awesome content, stay safe!

I really like my G-Shock 5600E. The addition of the solar feature makes this one the perfect Casio for me.

This intro is an instant classic!!! Wrist watch check DW290 😎 (Max@Job 3:14)

Thanks TGV! Always love the casio videos

Ah Casio. A watch any gent can be proud of. When I shoot trap and process fire wood, there is nothing better

Casio was what started my love for watch collecting for sure! There's a lot of great affordable options for someone just getting into the hobby. The Databank line will forever be my favorite!

as always, great job TGV. Love your productions.

Love your Videos man, I've been a fan for years. Never ever stop please!

Glad to see Hugo back and demonstrating such useful talents. I too love Casio. Among my several G-Shocks it has to be my DW5600 at under $50 that fits this list. Just an awesome timepiece even forgetting the price.

6:53 just bought the world time this morning from Walmart for a beater watch for work best watch I could find at Walmart cheapest watch I own and I love it

Hugo’s back! And how! This has to be my favourite intro. Say hello to the best watch channel ☺️ Casio was my first watch crush as a teenager. It was cool and modern. I still have my original Casio from the 90s in my possession. A real treasure. In your video the World Time is my favourite, followed by the F-91W. Great video, fantastic editing.

My favourite watch is my F91w. I was a kid in the 70s so I lived through the space age experience of the wonderous new digital watches. We were all bedazzled by how futuristic they were. No one had seen anything like them before. There was a general opinion that analogue watches would become obsolete & disappear within five years or so. It didn't happen of course & it was the digital watches that suffered. I love the nostalgia of vintage style digitals but they also suit my needs beautifully. I'm not on social media and I don't use apps. My mobile is for making calls & sending texts, my laptop at home is for the net and my watch is for telling me the time. I also need an alarm and the stopwatch does come in handy. That's it! Everything I need and want is within this discreet little beauty on my wrist right now. Every time I look at it, I pretend for a few seconds that I'm in a 1970s space based tv show. I have absolutely no desire to own an Apple watch. I suppose kids of today will look back on them with the same sentimental emotions as I look at digitals. Time moves on I suppose.

Finally a Watch that I have! The Casio Calculator.

Absolutely love the intros!

These intros are simply pure class 👌. Loving the videos 🔥

This was a really nicely done video. Always have loved many options from Casio.

I would appreciate If you list the watches in the description below the video! Love the episode! I added recently G-Shock DW5600E-1V to my collection , wear it every day and I absolutely adore it.

*Love* that Planes Trains Automobiles scene lol! John Candy modelling his Casio on his arm was brilliant. (Steve Martin wore a Piaget?)

It's hard to believe you've got me hooked on these classic Casio timepieces with one video but how can it be denied? You're a master of exposition.

Great video, wasn’t going to watch the whole thing but couldn’t stop. Duro lover here, black and blue.

I used to use the F-91W as my sleeping watch so I could see the time easily when I wake up during the night. However, even though it has the green led backlight, it's still a struggle to see the time so I upgraded to the F-105. It's almost the same watch as the F-91W but with a full display backlight and it's possible to find it at around 15€. Best casio watch in my opinion!

I laughed SO hard at the intro. 😂

TGV, Love watching these videos, I watch them while I work, just bought my first DW-5600 and FW-91 based on your recommendations!

Hey TGV, i loved your video and your appreciation of the low Budget Casios. I´ve also got some in my Collection and they compliment it nicely for their occasion. The Pro Trek for Hiking, the Calculator for nerdy days. Also, nice work on your editing. It evolved to supreme Quality, especially the intros. It´s a very nice Start to the day in Style, watching your video with a nice cup of Black Tea and appreciating the good things in life. Keep it up, all the best from Bavaria!

The MRW200 is a favorite of mine. The bezel is useful, the day/date complication is easy to read, and it looks great. The strap is unbelievably soft and comfortable.

In Portuguese, "duro" also means hard. Greetings from Portugal !

Welcome back Hugo! I see he found a friend!! I was worried he had been captured during one of his escapades and turned into [gasp] luggage. The DW-290 is as close as you get to a G-Shock without being one, a much lower price; well worthy of being on your list. Its predecessor, the W-740-1VS, is an interesting piece, smaller and not quite a square, but not very round either, with a 1970's TV style look to them housing the same module. Just snagged one with the newer 3231 module, apparently quite uncommon. Very glad to see you included the AE-1200WH World Time. It is one of the most feature packed with an outstanding display layout and intuitive operation among their sub-$20 squares. The A158WA came as a surprise with its abysmal backlight. It's the F-91W in chrome plated livery with a folded link stainless steel bracelet. The very slightly larger (but not by much) A168WA would have been a better choice with its EL backlight, a quantum leap over A158WA backlight for a dollar or two more. The Duro is an interesting analog diver. It has a Miyota 2115 inside using a 377 1.55V Silver Oxide cell. That was a surprise upon opening the back. It is, in effect, a Citizen in Casio clothing, highly unusual for a company that makes its own countless movement modules by the many millions annually. If you open one to change the battery, which will happen more often with a 377 cell, you'll see a white plastic nylon (??) movement cover and spacer that provides shock protection. There are sapphire crystal mods, and from what I've seen popping the mineral one out and pressing in a sapphire replacement is a relatively simple process if you have a proper inexpensive press for it, although I'd want to research the water resistance a bit more to ensure that can be maintained. The DW-5600 became the overwhelming watch of choice for soldiers and marines, enlisted ones in particular, when it was released in 1987. Its price combined with being very nearly indestructible was invincible. It was the watch that went to Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and has remained the watch of choice since then. There were many videos on RU-vid with soldiers and marines deployed to the Middle East severely abusing them in all manner ways during their down time, as a challenge to see how much one could withstand. Walter White's geekness with his Pontiac Aztek missing a hub cap and his science teacher attire down to his shoes, was punctuated by the CA-53W databank. Ask a Singapore man who has served their National Service since the early 1990's what their watch of choice is, and the nearly universal response is the F-91W. It is to the Singapore armed forces what the DW-5600 is to US soldiers and marines. If Kikuo Ibe is credited with creating the G-Shock, Ryusuke Moriai, the F-91W designer, should be credited with making them iconic as the primary G-Shock graphic designer. My two favorite Casio digital remain the 6-band radio sync solar GWM-5610 and GW-6900, both above the $50 threshold here, but directly related to the DW-5600, and a long discontinued J-50 Jogger (aka Running Man) bought new in 1982 with its extremely easy to use stopwatch and timer. While well outside the price ceiling here, my other favorite Casio is the analog Edifice EQS500DB which you've mentioned in at least one video a couple years ago (mine is on steel). It rivals a much more expensive Seiko Coutura solar world time chronograph I have. A review on the Edifice would be very good; it is an amazing value for all its features. An excellent discussion about all seven with superb information about their histories. Well done!

Great video once again!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 My favorite casio in the g-shock square GWM5610-1

Number 4: The Duro is a fantastic beater watch. It was my first Gentry Inspired purchase. I gifted mine away some time ago to a friend of mine whose watch fell apart at work. I can testify to the fact that this 44mm watch will not bend nor break. I would love to get a smaller version.

I have a Casio Marlin from approx 1980s. I think the model is W35. I won it in a sailing race and loved it. It’s now part of my collection.

Finally something for my kind of budget! Casio, I can't get enough! Thanks so much! Amazing intro as well! Casio models in my collection: F-91W AE-1300WH AE-1000W DBC-32-1AES G-Shock GW-M5610 G-Shock GBD-800-1BER (my most recent purchase from October 2020).

TGV, your videos light up my day. Ciao e salutti a Hugo!

The three-eyed monster is my favourite since I bought it in 2005. The G-Shock DW-6900. I've replaced the decayed resin bezel and the straps and several batteries. The curved resin straps, the durability and the Illuminator backlight make the watch perfect. It's extremely comfortable, large but light and very ergonomic.

Wonderfully done, as always. Been wearing my DW-290 every day since the pandemic began and it's the perfect go-to beater. Also own the A158, the Duro, and, of course, the F91. Excellent review of these reliable time pieces!

Fun video, as always! Out of my whole collection my $18 A158WEA-9CF is still one of my faves! The retro gold face brings me so much joy!!! Such a pleasure to wear.

Great content Sir!!!

The A-168 appeared in 1996, and its distinguishing feature from the A-158 is the EL electroluminescent panel. Timex launched EL in 1992, Casio had their "Illuminator" in 1994. These are two watches that stood the test of time, out of a sea of similar but different Casios. There was an A-150, A-151, A-152... A-160, A-161, A-163... The A line dates back to around 1980. That's what Casio does, they keep iterating on an idea, and if a watch resonates with people, they keep making it - in 10 different colors. Casio's been making dive watches since the mid 80's. They used ETA movements on some in fact. There were a bunch of resin watches, but also a handful of full steel options. Some were shrouded ala the Seiko Tuna, look at the MD-703 and MQD-3000W. The men's MD and ladies LD line began in the 80s, some were titanium, some were 300M of W.R. - of only a handful of 300M watches Casio has ever produced. Starting in the 90s, the MTD/LTD lines appeared, and the MDV line appeared in 2005. There are literally hundreds of watches among these lines. The Casio calculator lineup precedes the Databank, starting with the C-80 in 1980. They sold nearly 50 different calculator watches in the early 80s. Their distinguishing feature was that you could use them without a stylus. They had a feature called "FTS" or "Finger Touch System". If you press two buttons at the same time, the upper one is the one that registers. One of these calculators was the first Data Bank, the CD-40 / CD-401, released in 1984. What makes a data bank a data bank is the ability to store information, like phone numbers and scheduled events/appointments. That was an amazing feature through the 80s and into the 90s, replaced eventually by the PDA and the ubiquitous cell phone. Casio lumps the CA-53W together with databanks on their web page today for simplicity, but it's not really a Data Bank. Marty wears the CA-50 in BTTF, the CA-53W hadn't been released yet. The DW-5600E-1V is the full model name for the standard black model from 1996. "1V" is the color code, and it's safe to drop it if you're talking about all the watches as a whole.

Yes “duro” means “hard” in Spanish. Great video!

Best opening sequence EVER! Phenomenal! Thanks!!!

Thank you so much for your work! You‘re an Inspiration TGV! Have yourself and your family a merry season and a happy new year!

I love me some Casio! Had them since I was a youngster :)

I love the Casio F-105. Better constructed than the F-91W and with a great light. Looks better on the wrist than in pictures.

The only channel I hit the bell icon for. Awesome as always!! Thanks H̶u̶g̶o̶ TGV!!! :)

Fun intro! Always good content!

Watching this while wearing a F-91WC is pretty fun

“Say tally ho to my little friend.” 😆

Amazing intro! Haha, Hugo was in rare form! Must be the Christmas spirit inspiring him. Another great video, TGV! Thanks & happy holidays to you and yours!

Very cool! Thank you TGV! 🤝

Adding “licious” to the end of any word is perfectly acceptable.

Duro in spanish means hard as well as in italian. Saludos desde Puerto Rico🇵🇷. I Love your videos mate 💙🤙🏻

Love your channel !

Greetings from west yorkshire, just wanted to say i'm a newbie to watch collecting and this channel, but i have to say i am massive Casio fan, its what brought me here, i have everywatch in this video apart from the newer W-218H which i'm now going to have to buy because as a 34yr old man with large wrists i think its a must, the f91 has always seemed small on me but i loved it too much to not where it. i have a few actually in different colours. Anyway i'm so glad i found your channel, looking forward to watching the rest of your videos! stay safe.

The Casio Databank was actually the first watch I've ever bought with my own money. I remembered my dad wearing an older version of the Databank when I was a child. I happen to come across a redesigned Casio Databank at a jewelry store one day, and since I needed a watch, I had decided to purchase it. Its more than affordable price was just no question. Plus, I was never good at math, so the calculator was the best "complication" !

Got my F91W on deck. Looking at the black mudmaster. Holler.

Thank you for great video

Great review mate

Watches will come and go, tastes will ebb and flow, however one thing I do know, a Casio is one I will always own. Superb video, but then again I am biased, being a child of the 80s I love retro digital and Casio as a brand 👍

Dw5600 for me. Greatest watch ever made and yes I had the older screw backs...lighter stronger and a better back light

Great vid. Grat. Thanks.

To enjoy this hobby of watch collecting is to have an appreciation for all watches. This video took me through my childhood seeing all the watches I once wore. Now I need to repurchase them. Great video TGV!

Duro also means tough in spanish. Saludos desde Perú! /Greetings from Peru!

I’m looking to find something in life that I can do with the passion that TGV has in making these videos. Quite inspiring.

What an awesome video!!!

Good day!! Love the show!! My Duro and my world time are much loved, Casio is a fav!! Great content TGV, much success and good health to you 🙏🏻

Actually the A158 and A168 are different watches. The latter is slightly larger and thicker and also has a better backlight. It also comes in the "regular" color, not just the gold. That is the A168 depicted at 8:20.

I ordered 7 of each. Came out to $777. I’m feeling lucky baby.

Fantastic video. So many Casio watches. My wish list is full on Amazon 😆👍🏻

Love your intros as always!

Best intro of the year mate great job

Great video! Especially with the current climate budget videos are very nice to see....... ever think about revising the best watches under 200-500 series? Would definitely be a must watch for me and I bet many others!

Wearing my Casio F-84W on my tiny 6.5 inch wrist - LOVE IT!

Nice video with Hugo, cheers mate!

Top of the form, TGV! Lovely topic, so near and dear to our hearts. Casios are nostalgic to so many of us, bringing back wonderful memories. May I suggest for Hugo in future to do some Mission Impossible bits? Always makes my night to see your videos, TGV. Truly, thank you for all you do for us. O&U, my friend. Cheers!🙂♥️👍

I myself wasn't much of a Casio fan until i started watching your videos, but after some time i started to see the beauty and fun in these simple but righly rugged Casio watches. My collection right now have more Casios than any other. Watches like these are indeed very cheap and very basic but sometimes you just cant put price on the great memories they make... Last year i think i gifted one of my oldest friends, who's definitely not a watch guy, with a very simple but highly practic Casio F91-W for christmas on one of our last skateboard sessions before the holidays, and the way his eyes gleamed as he said "it was just the thing I needed, man!" was just priceless. Indeed, he was after a watch as a practical alternative to always having to get his phone for the time and I came just at the right time with the right piece. As always, thank you so much TGV for excellent videos like these, that shows that fun and passion are a fundamental part of this amazing hobby as searching for rarities and grails. The grail are the friends we make along the way, after all =P Happy Hollidays, TGV! Cheers!

What's up TGV!!!happy holidays to you sir and man oh man under my breath I say I don't need another Casio; however, by the end of the show I am convinced otherwise. Casio has all genres taken care of. Thank you for the historical context and I am Sending love, hope, and freedom.

intro was awesome. bought the world time with your link. ive seen several people mention this one as a must have. hopefully i get to wear it on vacation this year.

Thank you, old bean. These are indeed appealing pieces of history and technology.

These videos just make my day!

Another great video TGV; You've sold me on all of these watches so now I'm going to have to buy all 7

Nice video! I have a casio royale steel/silver and it's basically my daily beater; I love it.
