This is a new model. So prices at the moment are very inconsistent. I expect the price to settle around the $60 mark in the future. If you are willing to be patient, you'll likely save a bit of money.

I love the legibility. Watches with fat hour hands are my jam, thanks for putting this on my radar

Can't wait to start seeing these pop up in more shops in Canada (or online)!

@benfearnhead9851 4 месяца назад

I totally get your point about the 44mm thing. I've come to the conclusion that what makes a watch appear large or small has more to do with the dial diameter than the case diameter. I've got a 40mm diver which looks perfect to me, as somebody who prefers smaller sizes, because the bezel is 5mm wide so it actually creates a 30mm dial and the watch doesn't look large. This works both ways as I've got my Dad's Rotary dress watch he wore in the 80s/90s which manages to appear masculine and large enough despite being a 34mm case by having a 32mm dial - so the dial really fills out the watch face. This Casio looks fantastic especially for the money. Thanks for the review!

@wigmaster7894 5 месяцев назад

I like your presentation style. you don't talk like a typical RU-vidr. it just sounds like my friend is telling me about a new watch. you're not trying to be wacky or clever or cute or sell me something. the entry-level is so much more fun than all the typical rolex, omega...

@TopTierTicker 5 месяцев назад

That's a great comment to read. Thank you! I try to make my videos as if it's just me and a friend having a chat about watches over a coffee. I also enjoy entry-levels wayyy more. It's just a more interesting space IMO. Hope all is well, thanks for watching.

Don't think it looks like an alpinist but it certainly is beautiful!

@rikdriscoll2160 5 месяцев назад

I love Casio's....and I really love the look of this! The black dial with the green bezel is nicely done, super legible hands and the orange seconds hand is a nice touch. I agree it looks great on that nato strap, gives it real outdoor vibes. I've got a Duro which I wear quite happily so I'm ok with the case size. Overall it looks fantastic and I think Casio have done a really good job. I'm definitely in! Cheers Kieron, congrats on 25k subs. Well deserved mate 👏

@EastofVictoriaPark 5 месяцев назад

@TopTierTicker 5 месяцев назад

Nice! Didn't know you had a Duro. If you enjoy the fit of the Duro, this one will be even better. It's them cutouts under the case that make it a super sweet fit. Thanks mate, hope all is well 🙏

@jarekpszuk6944 5 месяцев назад

If they put an elapsed time or countdown bezel instead of the compass, these watches would be selling like mad with scalpers on the job, I reckon. Not many uses for the compass bezel on a day to day basis, but quite a few on a dive or countdown one.

@evanspivack2714 5 месяцев назад

If they left off the day, or even better used a six o clock date, this would EASILY be a winner. But the day at 4 unfortunately kills it for me. Great review, thank you!

@adam-im8jo 5 месяцев назад

Nothing like the alpinist in my eyes, not every watch with an inner bezel is alpinist alternative

@TopTierTicker 5 месяцев назад

Did you not watch the video? It's an exploration/adventure watch. Literally in the same category as the Alpinist. It obviously doesn't look like it, that's why it's an alternative 😆

@thodorissaritziotis3306 5 месяцев назад

@adam-im8jo AFFORDABLE alternative...not one watch instead of the other if you had the money of course! I think it's quite obvious...

@expomm 5 месяцев назад

I don’t think the color combo green and black dial works, besides that Casio again score a new hit.

@DeepsGnome 5 месяцев назад

Agreed, video opens up saying it has an "alpanist vibe" which i just don't see. Its nothing like an alpanist. Plenty of different watches have an inner compass bezel, but this has none of the element that make the alpanist the alpanist. The case shape is nothing like alpanist, its a completely different size class, no hour numerals, no green dial, no guilding, its just not even worth mentioning the alpanist. This watch looks like a Frankensteins monster of a different seiko watch parts, it honestly looks like a fake...

@TopTierTicker 5 месяцев назад

Again, this isn't an alternative because it looks similar. The Alpinist was designed as a mountaineering watch. A watch to be taken on a hike, adventure, exploration... Which is why it has a compass bezel, great legibility and 200m WR. This Casio fulfills all of that critea. Look past the initial aesthetics between the two, they have a lot in common when it comes to the intended purpose of the watch. They share characteristics that aren't 'gilded hands' and 'the shape of the case'.

Date window is crazy, but I kinda like it. Indeed, it's no bigger than the Duro. It wears much better in fact. I'm blown away with this one. It's fun, pretty and different. Bravo Casio 🙏

@stephenschroeder6567 5 месяцев назад

@kevinorr6880 5 месяцев назад

I am trying to accept the Alpinist comparison, but it's tough. Outside of the compass dial, the comparison dims. Nowhere near the capability or quality. However, the normal price I have seen online is closer to the $90 USD. Not readily available in the US though.

@_RJ_Z 4 месяца назад

That date window is a eyesore😱

@gregs.2679 2 месяца назад

4:00 is a very traditional position for both crowns and date windows in Japanese horology, including some VERRRY expensive pieces. If you hate it, I'm not going to say you're wrong, but just that these designs aren't going to be appealing to all Westerners, even if they are inveterate Asian watch collectors. Personally, I like it enough that I'm already wondering if there's a Japan-only version with the typical Kanji/English day-of-week wheel. Probably not at the $60 price point mentioned here, but I'd still be interested.

@thefloridiancanuck2721 2 месяца назад

The textured section of the bezel is your basic 15 mins countdown timer despite it not being numbered. Just a quick way to measure 15 mins im guessing.

@coffeeisgood102 4 месяца назад

In some ways Casio did a great job on the watch. 44 mm is the minimum size I will go for, so that is appealing to me. I like the green bezel and that it is water resistant to 100 meters. I really like the markers and the hands. And I like that it has a day & date, for me a must have. But I would prefer the colander to be at the 3 o’clock, not 4 o’clock position. But the real deal breaker is the seconds hand. They made it beautiful but it clicks from second to second instead of smoothly running around the dial. Even my Invicta Pro Diver uses the Seiko Mecaquartz to achieve this elevated performance. Hope you’re listening, Casio. You made a really stunning and functional watch, but that seconds hand needs to be smooth. I’ll keep watching for the upgrade.

@davidstewart3868 3 месяца назад

It has an Alpinist vibe. I dig the Starbucks green & black. Even the 44 mm diameter with short lugs is okay. But the day/date at 4:00 is not ideal. But it’s an inexpensive Casio and I might give it a try. Thanks for the review! Cheers from Ohio!

@rahvavaenlane 4 месяца назад

Really nice looking watch. I bought Reguno as my travel/adventure watch, it's in the same price range, bit pricier. It's titanium, solar, 100m WR, day-date, decent metal strap.. It doesn't have the compass ring tho. But I feel Casio could've done better here, being solar at least. Nothing sucks like watch needing new battery when in the wild or travelling.

@Justme0495 5 месяцев назад

Dude this looks like a great watch for the price ($100 / under). I was a bit bummed when you said it was 44mm x 48mm. But you seemed to enjoy it so much despite the size, so I might give it a shot. Watch looks too good to pass up. Thanks for the review my guy 😎

@johanplaysguitar 5 месяцев назад

Great review and nice looking watch! When I realized you can use your watch as a compass just as well without the inner rotating bezel, I sold my SARB017 and instead bough the SPB243 in the Alpinist line-up. Hey-ho! (But the compass looks cool, no doubt!)

I would full on dunk my hand into the boiling hot soapy water of the sink without a second thought on if the watch could take it and to this day the watch still works 1.5 years later I even swapped on the new skxmod kit recently.

One of the best looking analogue Casios I've seen, its a shame it doesn't have a better crystal though (if aliexpress brands can do it this price, why can't Casio). No matter, I'd still like to add one to my collection, except for two irritating issues: One, its is totally unavailable anywhere to buy in Canada. Two, for every online retailer who featured it on their site (out of stock, of course) it was almost double the price! Cool watch though.

This is a nice looking watch, but the compass bezel is an affectation and plays no useful function, of course. As long as you can locate the sun and know what time it is, you can plot directions.
