I've had 3 of these watches over the last 20 years. True, my watches doesn't count my steps or tell me how hard I hit the tennis ball, but it does what a watch should do - - - it tells me the time :-) Thumbs up for this $15 watch.
This is a Bauhaus watch - everything distilled down to minimalism in a timeless design. Everything extraneous is stripped out and you’re left with the essential elements of the hours and minutes. Casio put it all together in a simple, rugged and affordable timepiece.
I had been using (at work as well) this watch for 6 years and it's still as new (except for the strap that I exchanged immediately with an elastic one after buying it and it's still unused) and the first battery lasted 5 years. This thing it's great! I paid 5.67 to Amazon for it, and it's well worth to fit a new battery every time for the next many years....
On the hands not lining, the manual tells you to set the watch 5 minutes ahead, then turn it back counterclockwise to the correct time. This is supposed to align the hands
I picked up a casio oceanus and that thing is perfect in terms of functionality and hitting markers spot on without any variation. But also it's $500. I got a timex years ago that is cheap and hits the markers as well as this. But for $15, this does a respectable job.
Actually this model is very durable. I have had one for years when I worked as a truck mechanic. Yeah it is scratched and dinged all over but still works 100% and the band is ok too. So not as flimsy as one may think...
My wife has the champagne dial and she went swimming with the watch and it's still ticking 🤯 and I got the mw-59-7bvef and that watch is also simply but very durable 🤙👌and I've had it for year which is shocking 🤯
Casio 1330 module is a Miyota 2035. On my MQ-24s and MQ-71s I don't have any hand alignment issues. And, just in case you didn't know, MQ-71 is the same model but with lumed hands.
These are super easy watches to work on for budding watchmakers. I've properly aligned the hands on a couple already and the registration can be very good. The Miyota movement inside will run for many years. Tyler the creator used to wear one of these although a different yellow dial variant.
I have this watch and use it specifically when I am outside doing yardwork. I don't care if it gets beat up. It's inexpensive and works. Keeps time well. No complaints, other than I wish that Casio made this watch just a bit larger.
My first HQ-24 died inside my washing machine years ago and I really miss it. I've always liked that thing, the looks and all. And after listening to that Close Encounters link, now I like it even more. Thanks for the vid.
My favorite MQ-24 variant visually. Like you, I need the functionality of the F-91. Personal opinion: If I don't have the date, I'd just not wear a watch.
Love this watch. It’s very handsome and surprisingly goes with most outfits. I would rebuy it if they made it with more durable materials in a heartbeat
O seu vídeo a respeito do Casio MQ-24-7b2 ficou excelente e uma referência para quem busca informações sobre esse modelo lindíssimo e simples da Casio. Acredito que irei investir em outro modelo semelhante a esse, talvez no modelo MW-59-7b. Obrigado pelo vídeo!
You can also take the community bus that will take 3 times as long to get you to work and sometimes be overcrowded or not even show up, or drive a nice Ferrari to work. But it's the same thing right .
@@MrBanegasgaleas can you elaborate perhaps? I fail to see how a meticulous made, top of the line quality swiss mechanical watch that will last for generations is the same as a simple watch that may not last an year. I can wait.
Guys totally ignorant of what casio materials are 😂😂😂 the watch strap is proprietary resin that will never dry out and will likely be around longer than this reviewer is alive.. he comes off as absolutely clueless of what this product is or has to offer as a valuable affordable tool 😊
Very interesting. I was unaware that they used proprietary resin that does not deteriorate for decades on this watch. Do you have documentation regarding their materials used in this specific watch that you’re referencing because it must be a more durable material than is used on their others watches. I had the strap rot right off my DBC-30 after a few years of wear, and I have heard many stories and seen many resin straps on casio/g-shock watches requiring replacement. Thanks for shedding light on this because I do this for fun, it’s a hobby, and I’m always looking to learn. Thanks for sharing the information.
I have the lume variant, and have a similar font! MQ71, bought that from the official Casio retailer in my country, there's an unboxing video in my channel. More cheaper than that, lesser than 10 bucks. And the lume is surprisingly brighter than my 99 bucks automatic watch. I also syncronized to my phone time, fair watch for that price.
