Casio Vintage Steel A1100 Review

The Casio Vintage A1100D-1EF is the latest in the Casio Vintage Lineup. This is a re-release of The 52QS-14B. I absolutely love the styling of this watch, although for £100 it is considerably more expensive than other Casios, so you have to decide if the styling is worth it for you. The overall quality of the watch case is top notch, although the bracelet is lacking somewhat. Let me know which one you prefer, this or the Tissot PRX Digital?

I just picked my A1100D-1EF today. Absolutely love it. Casio has absolutely nailed the retro/vintage look with this model.

I have bought it and I'm happy. Simple and vintage.

My parents bought the original Q52QS to me back in 1979 or 80 on holyday over in the UK. Just found out about the A1100D and ordered it instantly.

I own a 50qs-17 and a 52qs-14b. Casio have done a great job here reproducing that aesthetic, but the pricing is very close to that of an original, so I think buying the real thing is a better investment. That said you could wear one of these and not worry too much about dinks and scratches. Paired with a thick leather strap they look even better

Good review! This Casio clearly has it over the PRX (although that watch obviously has a nicer bracelet...which it should, since that's mostly what you're paying for). I will say I was about to click "buy" onbthe A1100, but went forcyet another Casio Id forgotten about but also seriously liked - the Edifice EFA-120D-1AV (such memorable midel names, right?), but Ill likely still get the A1100D before long as well...and maybe get a mesh bracelet to replace the stock version.

I want that watch, but with black color with a gold lcd background for the LCD display. I used to have a Seiko like that and would really like it to look similar. Is the battery replaceable? Great review.

For $60, I'd buy one of these in a heartbeat. For $120, I really need think about it, because there are a lot of other pretty cool watches around that price point that are more than a gussied-up A168. Sapphire crystal would have pushed it over the top. Absolutely looks best on a brown leather strap.

I immediatly changed the strap when i got mine. With some nato straps it's sexy as hell !

I would like a challenge between this casio and the timex t80 steel

[Michael_Miller]

It’s nice but has its flaws. Light is very hard to press . And date isn’t display. Adjusting the band was a nightmare too .had to take 3 links off

[icekitty]

Do love the face but not too keen on the bracelet so would look to find a bracelet more to my liking to go with this watch if I was to purchase it.

What is the lug size?

Thank you for the review.

Проблема этих часов в отсутствии 24 часовой системы, что мешало Casio настроить цифру 2?

[atos]

Imo overpriced. No real features, poor water resistance, no sapphire glass, subpar bracelet. You're pretty much paying for the stainless steel case and retro look.

[DonCacomixtle]

beautiful, but man... can't Casio make decent solid metal bracelets in their most expensive models at least???

[Crackbagged]

I love the look of the bracelet but it's an awful hair puller, had to switch it out

[music]

All the Casio digital should retail no more than £100.
Since they produce in China, Casio don’t have the same standards as they did when they where made in Japan.

[davidcrandall]

The digital prx has no History! Tissot simply placed a digital display in a watch based on the 1979 Seastar!

Nice could have made it Solar, enough room on the Dial for Solar Panels....As Snap on Case Backs are a pain in the proverbial to remove / ...A cool 70, s better looking, AND cheaper than the PRX
