Wristwatch Shootout: Three Solar Japanese Field Watches 

That Casio looks superb, easily the best looking of the 3.

I went with the Casio solar field watch. I am wearing it now. It is presently my go-to every day watch. It is easy to read, day/date function, maintenance free, reliable and accurate. I also acquired an after market band. I have a larger wrist and needed a longer band. I would not hesitate to recommend this watch. TY MH

Came in specifically for the Casio’s dimensions lol 😅

I like the simplicity and clean look of the casio

Thanks for the video. I considered those 3 for my solar field watch and ended up with Casio. Date and time more visible compared to Citizen. Citizen looked unnecessary complicated in my opinion for a field watch and date is very small. Seiko is good but numbers too big for my taste. Also the watch is a bit bigger. Casio has a green second hand which helps with quick arm location identification. Minute and hour arm are white and can be identified quickly at dark but I wish they were as large as one on Seiko. For Seiko I stick with my SKX009 automatic. I like Citizen eco movement but I do not understand why they make so small date numbers.

Thanks for sharing you video! Three nice watches. I'm a big fan of field watches too. I wish that Seiko came in a smaller size! Regards from the UK!

That Citizen really stood out. I often find field watches a little plain, I know that's the point, but that Citizen looked good. The Casio was pretty classy too. Your strap choices were great on all three.

Loved all three

That Citizen is sick. Love the look but the fixed compass seems hard to defend

I have the same casio, I just wish it had loom at the hour markers, the factory strap that came with was not very good and I replaced it after several days. Those are the only two issues I have with the watch

This is a real squint-worthy shootout! The Seiko's simplicity with that discreet coin edge bezel as a small accent is so tempting. Always a fan of Citizen's eco-drive movements (and type B field watches) and you're right -- the domed crystal is just right. And I'm very pleasantly surprised by the Casio, definitely a watch I'd be proud to give (and receive 😁) as a gift, as I can see it fitting nicely on my dad's wrist. Great video, you got me saving these model numbers for later!

i have a solar alba field watch paired w/ a distressed leather nato strap. surprisingly, it gets some compliments.

I'm also a fan of quartz watches, especially solar as field watches. So grab and go, durable, accurate and priced where they are replaceable if they get damaged. I'm a big fan of the citizen titanium tough watches for field use, or a 5610 G-shock.

I wear a Citizen day/date but my favorite one is the Omega speedmaster automatic-date, black dial steel body

Nice! The Pulsar PX3221X1 is my favourite one but not any longer in production 😕.

I need to stop watching videos like this because I will end up as a watch collector. Great perspective all round. I just bought a Seiko SNK809 and I am very happy with it, but you are almost tempting me to buy another field watch. I only have two arms.... I dont need three watches. Well done.

My solar Citizen stopped working after about 2 years. They said that solar element needed to be changed and it would cost about $70. Ok, I understand that, but it was just too early, Usually, it needs to be changed after about 10 years any way, according to them. In this case, I prefer just a battery that I can change by myself. See my point?

late to this but wow the seiko n casio are fantasic offerings...

Also a big fan of Japanese solar quartz, I have the Casio one in this video, the other variant with the dark strap and red arrow tip on the second hand, and a Citizen BM8180-03E, two great watches and super time keepers. My wife bought me a Citizen Eco Drive, a black dress watch 16 years ago and still going strong which prompted me to go solar quartz again.

Все представленные часы достойны внимания и своих покупателей.Просто универсальные часы.РЕСПЕКТ компании "Саsio".

Hi I just came across with your video. Nice comparison and a good surprise to see the Seiko SUS reissue appearing in the video. I used to have the Casio OV-100D-1AJF, a solar powered field watch taht looks like the Hamilton Khaki field mechanical but with screw down crown for 100 m water resistance and a case diameter of 36 mm. I still sometimes wonder why I sold it but probably to fund another watch. I totally agree that field watch, analogue one in particular, should be small and unobtrusive.

Good video! For me the Casio wins the day as it is my favourite watch brand

All look good to me, just snagged the casio overland

i love the topic of this video iv been on the hunt for a solar day date field watch with 24 hr markers but i havent found one with a sapphire crystal

What model is that zuludiver strap on the citizen? Love the pattern. Can't seem to find it on the website.

I’ve had my Seiko solar field watch for years. Im a gardener digging holes and cleaning out ponds etc the watch takes a battering every day, it works perfectly..but cloth strap stinks.

New subscriber here, your videos are really interesting and well made, and your taste for watches is very similar to mine. Congrats on the seiko metronome video, you really hit one out of the park there, and will give you a well deserved visibility. I have been tempted by the mtps120 for a while, now I want it even more. Can you please measure the case diameter? The information onlinea about that measurement is very variable. Thanks for sharing!

Мені однозначно більше подобаються Casio, дякую вам за огляд❤

To: watch manufacturers I want an indestructible watch strap.

I keep hearing that casio is discontinuing that model?

Does the bezel move on the Casio MTPS120L? Or is it just for show?

Can you post a link of the "modded" BM-8180 you refer to in this vid?..... I looked at your entire video library titles and couldn't find it.

Newer seen that Casio, pretty nice. Still, the green colorway Citizen Chandler beats all 3.

Don't ask me how i came across your channel, i don't even know myself! But loved it, great pieces and (so called, you even say in one you don't...) "reviews". So mate, i'm here to stay, if you don't mind of course! Liked, "subbed", "ringed the bell", did what i have to do. Nice to meet you then, be well, enjoy whatever you love mate. Cheers. PS Some aussies, well known tubers, (ok, not just "down under", bit all over!) call me a larrikin, love to tease and point out funny things/moments in vids, or "our watch addiction" habbits/quirks/stubbornness, but always for the sake of fun, aka FFS!!!! 😜😂 PS2 Brit? Or rest of Europe? (see, started again...) Anyways, salutes from the lowest pin of the map of it, Crete island here, Greece. Cheers.

Let's add the Timex expedition north solar field

Hi, are there any field watches that offer solar and a sapphire crystal apart from Timex

Does the casio bezel not turn?

What are the dimensions of the Casio? Each watch seems rather large for a field watch.

Without the pip you wouldn't know where things are? Why? Does your wrist change position at night? 🤔 I'm a simple Casio type of guy. If you think they don't have field watches, remember they have an entire G-Shock series. It's a modern field watch

Whats the model of the seiko on your wrist?

Does the Casio bezel rotate?
