6 Months With The Thinnest Casio Watch - Is The A700 Holding Up?

In this video, I cover my 6 months with the Casio A700, possibly the thinnest Casio watch money can buy. I initially bought this as it appeared to be the thinnest Casio digital watch.

Product Links:

Ben's Watch Club tends to cover affordable watches like Seiko, Timex, Casio, Citizen, MVMT, Vincero, Bulova, Orient, Hamilton, and more. We rarely feature luxury watches like Rolex, Patek Philippe, Breitling, Tag Heuer, Tudor, Grand Seiko, Cartier, Omega, Audemars Piguet, or Hublot due to their price.

I don’t agree with the comment “Women’s watch” Pretty much all Casios are unisex

I bought this after seeing your first review! I love it because it looks and feels much more "premium" than the other Casio's, while the iconic look is still there.

Literally wearing mine right now, your last video is what convinced me to get one!

I just got this watch a couple of days ago after your glowing review and I have to admit, the A700 absolutely exceeded my expectations. It's so slim and the square vintage look coupled with the mesh band looks so refined and pleasing. Your video did it justice even though it looks even better in person. Thanks a lot!

This watch is thinner than my wife’s conscience! She just relocated to Austin with her chiropractor

i got this watch recently- this is very aesthetically pleasing and feels nice on the wrist as well, but i fell if you have a big wrist then its better not to opt for this...but this watch really shines under the sunlight...it just looks incredible... 10/10

"the smaller, the better"
That's not what she said

Wasn't a watch person and wanted to buy my first, but didn't have the budget for an expensive one. I did some research on casio digitals. Thanks to you the mesh bracelet one is now my first ever watch👌

Hi Ben I got this A700 about 5 weeks ago, I was a little hesitant as I was told the mesh bracelet was not very flexible, but no problem on my 63/4" wrist, I've worn it quite a lot and am more than happy, keep up the good work, stay safe.

The water resistance of this watch is underrated. I moved the module out of the case, then immersed it into a glass of water, pressed all the three keys under the water, droped it into the water from a feet height, and kept flushing it in tapping water. After all these tests, I opened the case again and found no trace of water at all. The seals for the keys and the back, in my opinion, are indentical to those in Casio AQS810W series, which are designed to have 10 bar water resistance. After I put the module back, I can finally shower with it without any concerns, and it survived as I expected.

It’s a MANS WATCH ! Meant for manly men ! LIKE US !

Its been 6 months since I saw your video and I got it as well. Still my favourite go to everyday watch. Also awww seeing my comment on this video made me so happy! Thanks Ben!

OK, just purchased another one. LOL.

A couple of other quick things. I have a 7-inch wrist, and this watch works perfectly. I love smaller watches. Watches used to be sized like this watch, and every other watch in my collection.

Like you, very little scratching despite work from home daily wear, and the pole run-in (my shirt, thankfully, protected it from scratches).

I'm still waiting for that metal version, too, as I mentioned before.

One final note. I was subscribed to a bunch of watch review sites, but now just subscribe to two: You and Just One More Watch. I'm not interested in watches just because they cost a lot. You and JOMW review watches that are great, regardless of price, and I love that.

Again, cheers, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.

I bought this watch on your recommendation Ben. I’m not disappointed at all! Like you I wish it had say 50m/100m even better of water resistance! I’m far from being a nerd, & it’s surprising how many nerd/techie computer guys start up a conversation just because I’m wearing this retro style Casio! Good review, REVIEW again! Cheers & best wishes for Christmas from Australia! Stay safe over there!!!🍻🇦🇺

Я купил эти часы 2 недели назад. Вторые касио в моей миниатюрный коллекции. Первые - G-shock gm-110. В a700 понравилась миниатюрность и лёгкость дизайна. Отлично подходят под оверасайз одежду для лета, а также прекрасно смотрятся с костюмом. Выбрал из Casio Vintage именно эти так как больше всего понравилась светлая поверхность вокруг дисплея (более винтажный и благородный вид), а также миланская цепь приятнее, в сравнении с штампованой цепью a158-a168

I adore the A700. I bought mine not long after your video, and it was one of my best purchases of the year, without a doubt. Even though I didn't have many opportunities to wear it.

[Ghost]

I just bought mine now as a result of your video. Was planning on increasing my watch budget after a recent purchase of an expensive watch, but just couldn't resist how cool the mesh version looks!

[christophermichels]

I bought the cheaper A700, and swapped bands. I think the darker face looks better on Milanese band. I thought the cheaper band was horrible so I just tossed that one and put on a different bracelet. Thanks for all your videos. They been enjoyable and instructive.

[jesusgarcia]

My ideal Casio would combine the look of the A 700, the module and WR of the B-640W and the steel case of the A1000

[joshwilson]

I bought myself one of these and I think it's a nice retro looking little piece with a good backlight and a display that is clear easily readable and looks awesome!.
