This one seems a lot more refined-looking than the Casio Royale. This is the one I'm eyeing for the multiple timezone function.

I'm a big fan of Casio digital watches and I own more than 30 of them. They were a real innovation when I was in college during the sixties. They are great fun and a perfect example of "reverse chic". Casio, as a company, is real "game changer" and has been on the cutting edge of technology for a long time.

Actually a perfect watch to travel with, if you can remember when that was. Cheap easy to use and if it is stolen or dies no great loss.

The hand in jeans pocket angle is so helpful, THANK YOU. Gives us such a better idea besides close up wrist shots, wish more youtubers would do this.

I like that retro 70's style a lot. If only the case was made out of steel. And came (at least) with a mineral crystal.

[jimbrown]

this is the traditional world timer casio has been making since probably the had one around 1989 virtually identical to this, great looking watch

[ryejack]

I love that you can pick up a Casio like this for under $50 and it'll be an interesting, kind of retro piece. I personally think the AE1200 is a better-looking watch with most of the same functionality, but the A500WA definitely has that 70s-80s retro vibe, which is also a lot of fun. For that price, one could easily own both.

[kabysummit]

I have both :) and love them. Perfectly fun and functional watches. GMT features are so perfect! I just need 2 time zones, but this gives me 4 on the short cut.

I love my Casio royale in metal, cheap, comfy and don't worry about getting it wet

[FirstRoundBye]

Just bought this watch before I begin travelling around Europe. Excited to use it.

[TheGrenadier]

Great video sir. The world time isn't important to me but i think that the square form and little world map adds a lot of class to that piece. Guess I'll take the gold version if i wanna go a bit more dressy.

I'm a simple man. E see a Casio review, I click.

[theroamingsavage]

Casio, underrated and undervalued as hell...
These watches get the job done and embody the 80s and early 90s completely.

[ChintanPandya]

Great video! 2 corrections/additions though. 4:28 that is a countdown timer. It has both features, a countdown timer as well as a stopwatch. Secondly, 4:38 In the time adjustment setting...you have an option to choose the light duration! You can choose between 1 second and 3 second of light duration. Which is pretty amazing.

[Surgicalsteel]

That looks great! Never heard of it, thanks for bringing it to the attention! Really like the aesthetics (a lot more than the royale tbh..)

[hanscombe]

This is a great little watch. I do remember a black plastic version of this that was out in the eighties. The only down side about the new version was the day display was in a dot matrix format and this uses a digital bar display. A classic salaryman watch.

[thehooch-man]

Nice retro look! Great for weekends with a t-shirt and tracksuit. I have the A-168WA-1. So 80s retro-tastic.

[djapojunior]

I love my Casio Royale, amazing watch especially at that price. But this one looks just a bit classier and really retro. 👏 But to be honest, I'd go gold with this one.

[skd]

I forgot this watch on and went swimming. It was fine, nothing happened, so you can definitely get it wet. Just not for diving, I guess (the Duro is for that).

[DaveYT]

Very nice little number .Great clean display and a really good looking bracelet .
