Is This New Super-Thin Casio BETTER Than The Legendary F-91W? - Casio A700 Review

In this Casio A700 review, I see whether this new thin Casio watch can supersede the famous F-91 and A158 models and become the new king of cheap digital watches. This watch is around $40 at the time of recording.

Now this is something I can buy for my wife's boyfriend :D

It's a Casio, it looks like a Casio, but it is also elegant enough to go with a suit, so thin it disappears under a cuff - and that mesh bracelet is its perfect companion. I want one. In my opinion, definitely "liquid-nitrogen" cool.

Ice cold! Thanks for showing this piece, Ben! Didn't now that Casio makes such thin watches with this classic style. Just ordered one! Thanks and all the best from Germany

Among others, I have the A500 and the SS ae1200. For work purposes or EDC, these two are my favorites. I love the world time function and their elegance.

I love how they revisited their classic models and made it thinner

Regarding battery life, my B640WB-1BEF battery is going strong for 7 years now which was also listed as 3 years.

I always go back to my A158WE for a daily wear work watch. The fact that there's something thinner is honestly amazing. My only qualm is the backlight. I'd go out and get one of these today if it had the illuminator technology instead of the sidelight, which is objectively subpar. Shame, really, but maybe future iterations and variants will have the better lighting. Great review!
I'd place it on the upper end of COOL.

I've had this one for about 2 years now, still going strong, love it. The band is a gamechanger for those of us with hairy arms.

Love the look of this watch, recommended it immediately to the friend who lent me his gold casio, if he doesn't end up buying it for me to borrow, will definitely have to pick this up for myself!

A very nice looking Casio. I like the clean monochrome aesthetic too. Just wish it were made of stainless steel and not resin with a mineral glass or sapphire crystal rather than acrylic. I’d pay extra for those, as it’s not exactly expensive to begin with!

[andrewshadowy]

Glad you did this one Ben. Have been looking at this one for awhile now and may still get one

[justme]

When will they make one of these digital watches with a metal case and sapphire crystal?!

[mrxcman]

That is a slick looking digital watch, I really like the angles of the case. The mesh bracelet looks pretty good too. I'd vote that its COOL.

[normanpedersen]

I agree - this is def a contender! I like the black plastic F91Dubs - so far not seeing this version in black acrylic vs the 'metal'.... I'll be keeping my eyes open though. I'd gladly pick one up.

I owned a Casio back in the mid 80's. It was a Christmas gift and played happy birthday and various other songs. Wish I could find it again.

By the way, the side light problem (also on F-91W and on other models) can be easily solved with a super-bright white (or green) 1206 size (on this thin one, maybe 0805 or 0603) SMD LED. Simply replace the LED, if it's not bright enough, find a resistor in series with the LED and replace it by a resistor with 3..4 times smaller value (usually 39 or 51 Ohm).

Saw this video and 5 minutes in, I ordered a piece. Outstanding watch for the price, can't wait to get it.

ice cold boy, always liked these casio watches and found out about this one because of your review. Ended up buying, thanks for the video

[RvP]

Love this watch! Awesome review bud!

Subbed!
