At every price point in the watch world, there are go-to options, and at under $50, Casio rules supreme. But what about even less? Is it possible to get a watch that can do it all? For many people, the preferred choice is the Casio F91W-1 at an astonishing $10, or its more upscale metallic cousins, the A158W-1 and A168W-1. But in 2019, Casio unleashed a new kid on the block, the A700W-1, which challenges these heavyweight icons with something even more compelling. In this video, I review the Casio A700W-1A and discuss some of Casio's most iconic and influential watches. Join me for an 80s nostalgia-fueled extravaganza, to find out more about why this watch is so amazing, and why you should consider getting one. Whether you're a seasoned watch collector with the rarest and most expensive watches, just getting into the hobby, or need one watch for less than $30 that will do it all and last a lifetime, this is the video for you. What do you think about the watches featured in this video? Please share in the comments.

You have to give Casio their due. They are so popular with the teens and 20s that they could do a Daniel Wellington and charge a good few dollars more for a simple device. But they don't.

I own a dozen Casios, they are my favorite inexpensive watch brand. My favorite Casio under $30 is the A168W-1. It is effortless to wear, reminds me of a simpler time in my life and is very retro hip. Everyone who sees it loves it. I wore it when I bought my 124270 and my Rolex AD complimented me on my excellent choice of watches to wear while buying my Explorer :)

@tonythomas2510 Год назад

What an intro TGV. Just amazing. Didn't mind those shots of the exercise classes too. Could have put a bit more of that 🤣🤣. Wasn't around in the 80s but still get that nostalgia. That's why I love quartz in general. It's like nostalgia of the biggest tech when I was a kid. I would always go to John Lewis every month or so with my parents and just sit there in awe out of all the watches on display. Didn't even know mechanical existed. Just passion without knowledge. Reminds me of those times. Gonna start watching the vid now

As a kid growing up all the way to my early 30's, apart from a few weeks wearing Swatch (I think it was a Picasso inspired splat) and a day of a Gold Tissot I wore Casio, from the cheapest digitals, to their G-Shock range. Now I prefer wearing Swiss timepieces, but the love for Casio can never be turned off. Spent decades on the wrist for that. Just a few days ago I bought the Casio MRW-200H, fit it with a Goldfinger Nato as a replacement for my old Beater which the lug broke recently (MQ-24 style). It's brilliant.

Coincidentally, before seeing your video I pulled out my A168 today after a hiatus of a few months. I noticed you mention the backlight of the A168 where I believe you're referring to the A158, as the A168 has the unbeatable electro luminescent backlight. Regardless, good to know this watch also has a good backlight. Thanks for the great content as always.

Absolutely love the show T well done!!! It’s a nice proposition on paper this one. I own it, don’t wear it. The case is a little too rectangular for me. The “polished” case top and bottom doesn’t wear well, scuffs up quick and it shows . The case is like 7mm thick which is ridiculous!!! But it’s too thin, the stainless steel bracelet is almost thicker and just doesn’t look right. The A168 is still the best way to go for me, the electro illumination is far superior and it seems Casio are slowly fazing it out on their models which is sad!

@ExpeditedProductions Год назад

Really cool video, TGV. It is remarkable to see how so many brands are beginning to recycle the trends of the 80s. I remember how stark and in-your-face the fashion was then, and everyone was absolutely sure that such style would never return. Casio remaking this is just yet another testament that fashion is indeed cyclical. (I hope that Bond recycles his watches and comes back to Rolex (maybe Tudor) - I doubt it though Rolex won’t pay and Swatch will). Anyway, really amazing history and background on such a historic, fun, and iconic piece. Well done, my friend. Hope you and yours are well. Onward and upward! All the best!

I'm admittedly still young at 20 years of age, but thanks to the likes of tgv, iv gotten myself in to the wonderful world of horology and time pieces slowly building a collection. Currently having three seikos, a turtle, alpinist and panda speedtimer, and have just recently bought a bulk purchase of 8 casios. I was thinking of buying a persage line watch to add to my seiko collection, but my mum recently found her old collection of casios. We had a small talk about the history of her experience with casios, and long story short it got me hooked. Just bought 7 casios from the vintage line and the ae1200h due to my affinity for james bond, and the inspiration he has become for me. Inclusive of what was bought were of course the a700, the iconic a100 alien watch, a158, a168, two aq800e's with one black and one white dail, and a b640. All for the same price as one persage seiko 😅. But thank you tgv for being who you are and the content you provide. Which provides both affordable and luxury options.

Good evening TGV! Each time I think about may having to many Casios in my collection, we have a review in the channel highlighting the brand. I really loved the 80s references in the video. Casio and 80s sports cars - a perfect fit in my opinion. Have a great evening!

Thank you as always my friend. I know exactly how you feel about Casio, so difficult to say no and before you know it, you have a dozen of them! 😅🙏 Have a great evening and chin chin 🥂😎 Best regards, TGV

Very nice. I have the A168, and it has both the great full backlight and a minimum seven year battery. Makes me smile every time I look at it.

I just bought this a couple of weeks ago on the milanese strap and I absolutely love it. I own a few casio watches and I've worn this one more since I've had it than any of my others. I might just have to buy this one with the stainless steel strap now.

Literally bought this Watch 3 days ago… so sleek.

Love the A700W. Started my Casio journey with the beautiful green f-91w and then chose the A-158 over the A-168 ( just looked too cheap, like a toy). Then I diacovered this one, and I fell in love. Kudos to Casio for their great and timeless timepieces. And kudos to TGV for being the horological historian snd enthusiast this world needs but doesn't deserve.

Do you like this more than a158?

@bigosbro21 9 месяцев назад

@@zlobert9877 this may sound like non-answer, but they are right on the same level for me. They fill a similar role, and I end up going with whichever one goes with the rest of my look that day. Despite how similar they are, they don't both always fit with the same looks (just most of the time). I love both of them and wear them about the same. The lume on the A700W is a breath of fresh air though!

I highly appreciate the mention of the " Ladri di biciclette" . I am getting old and feeling great nostalgia for the past. I enjoyed watching that movie. The part when he takes that aweful decision of doing such thing and his son seeing it all, made me so engaged wishing he wouldn't do it. The boy, Enzo Estaiola had such a great performance, specially being so young and in that era., thanks for leading me to that jewel. I do have a casio, and felt embarrassed. I don't own a Rolex. I do have my father's Omega seamaster de ville, cal 565, from 1968, saving now to have it serviced. Regards

When looking to fill the classic 3 pusher slot in my Casio collection, I went with the A168WA-1WCR for its ElectroLuminescence backlight, missing from older models. My favorite inexpensive Casios are my AE1200s and AE2000/AE2100s. The most worn watch in my entire watch collection is a Casio GW-S5600-1JF (carbon fiber strap, titanium case back), which is the watch I wear for bicycling.
