My Casio Duro - in Blue Dial / Bezel has extremely high "readability" - its hand position at the quickest glance can be ascertained.

Due to the uncluttered face markings, simple but bold hand design & large 44mm size.

I hadn't appreciated that "readability factor" enough prior to buying my new Invicta Pro Diver Submariner homage in Hulk green - the standard 40mm (same as Rolex).

I do enjoy the Invicta, its a beautiful Automatic homage really nicely finished, but its simpy NOT as usable as the Casio Duro for this reason.

This watch blows my mind with the price vs how good it is. I put a gray divers strap on it from uncle Seiko and it looks absolutely top notch.

I just picked up a casio duro with the green bezel for 11 US dollars at Walmart. It was practically free! 😊

44mm case "Buzz your girlfriend, woof!" I'm in tears!!! Excellent review Russel, but honestly, I'd watch you review a pair of socks.

1994 Casio - I’m pitching the Casio “Tuning Fork” - a watch that has 6 different tone “bleeps” to enable you to tune a guitar.

I’ve made it mum!! Buzzing to have made Casio corner. Cheers Sir!

This watch is very versatile! Just change the strap to fit the occassion! If you want it to be dressy put it on a jubilee bracelet. If you want it to be casual just use the stock rubber strap or nato straps. That's what I did on mine and my god the watch just changed completely! It's so expensive looking!

Hello Russell, my dream watch in 1994 would have been the Casio "Quicktimer", a dive style watch with a rotating bezel and a small digital window on the analog dial. By turning the bezel clockwise (nice mechanical clicking) you would set and start a countdown shown in the digi window. To cancel it you just turn the bezel counterclockwise. When turned back to the 12 o´clock position, you can start a new countdown. Note: It´s a digital countdown, the bezel stays in position, it´s only used for setting, so no ticking noise while counting down. Basically it`s an egg timer. What would I use it for (other than cooking)? For setting an alarm for a quick spontanious power nap on the go! Alarm watches like the Poljot are not precise enough and on a Digital Casio there are too many buttons to press when you´re already tired and just on the edge of falling asleep. Just turn the bezel and

This watch on a stainless steel bracelet is an absolute banger

The Casio Longus. A rectangular watch that is half the with of your forearm. It shows the date and time not abbreviated. Also packing in a few more features such as a moon phase and dual time. To secure it onto your wrist you would have 2 independent 18 - 20 mm straps on either end, maybe a third in the middle. Testing would need to be done to determine that. For powering it, either use multiple batteries or a rechargable one that could fit. Because of the size you can have more than 4 buttons as the top and bottom space could be used throughout the length.

The year is 1994. Casio release the Casio GUMP1986 (in honour of the film released the same year and the '1986' in reference to the year the book was published), a chocolate coloured watch with a similar design to the F91W, featuring a case back engraved with the figure of Forrest Gump sitting on a bench and a different coloured back light for each watch because "you never know what your gonna get"

Rewatching this... Love my Duro, it's a daily and over 2yrs old. And I think they have fixed the Marlin issue, it's still there LoL
I'm very hard on watches, have NO scratches on the crystal, and it's in very good shape. The lume is not great, have no issues with the crown, and the second hand hitting the markers is hit or miss(no pun intended). It appears to get better with time, btw. As for how it wears is subjective, and GShocks that interest me are more expensive that the Duro, as well I wanted a regular watch... NOT a digital, at that time.
I've spent more on straps then on the watch and Love it... Spends most of its time on a StrapCode 22mm Super-J Louis JUB Watch Band Straight End, 316L Stainless Steel Solid V-Clasp Button Double Lock.

Casio flip 94 so essentially it’s a digital watch with the usual bits like stop watch count down timer light but a button on the edge enables you to flip it over and on the other face is an classic watch ‘automatic’ with a bit of class! Coming in gold silver and black.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY MAD and I freaking love it lol! Fantastic video AS ALWAYS!

[mlmperez]

I have a small wrist and took a gamble with it. Pretty darn good gamble swapped out straps for leather nato straps. It’s a stunner!!!

Amazing that there's so much going for the watch yet so many things that aren't at the same time. I guess if you were looking for a Casio style watch in that year it would have to include a thermometer along with the obligatory day / date, multi time zone, second counting style of that era. I would say to add some pop culture themes but thinking back to the mid 90s it wasn't as popular as it is now.

I dunno how youtube brought me here, but I'm happy it did!
