MDV106 Series | Unisex Analog Watch | 200M WR | Stainless Steel Case | Resin Band | 2 Hand Analog (HR, Min, SEC) | Date Display | Screw Down Crown/Screw Down Caseback | 3 Year Battery

Would recommend this watch for anyone wanting to see what a dive watch does and looks like. For less than $75 you get a watch that is waterproof to 200 meters with a working bezel, a face that is easy to read, and a watch that keeps accurate time. I have other dive watches but bought this for a vacation because it wouldn't be a big deal if I lost or damaged it. It has a screw down crown that works fine and was easy to set the time and date. The fit is accurate to measurements and isn't too big for my wrist. A couple of items to note: I changed the watch strap because the band that came with it wasn't the most comfortable. I like the nylon bands but purchasing another rubber watch strap would work as well. The bezel works but isn't as smooth as some of the more expensive dive watches. The lume is not very bright and does fade quickly, but unless it is being worn in complete darkness it will not be an issue. This watch is a great purchase for someone new to getting a dive watch or if looking for a daily wear, a watch that doesn't break to the bank to replace, or if looking to see what to expect from a diver if never having owned one. I would definitely recommend this to purchase.

The Casio Duro has earned its reputation as one of the best budget watches available. The overall quality is impressive for the price, with a solid feel and a classic dive watch design that looks great in both casual and everyday settings. The clasp is secure and comfortable, giving confidence that the watch will stay in place throughout the day. The time display is easy to read at a glance, and the rotating bezel and 200-meter water resistance add useful features that make it feel much more expensive than it is. The luminosity is good and makes the hands and markers visible in low-light conditions. I’ve worn this watch regularly, and it has become one of my favorite choices for everyday use. If you’re looking for a reliable, feature-packed watch with excellent quality, it’s hard to beat this one for the money.

Don't know why I never acquired one of these before but I'm glad I did. Don't let the price tag fool you. This watch is solidly built and meticulously crafted. It's a larger face so if you have tiny wrists it might feel and look awkward. That being said it's got all the features that my more expensive watches have. Very happy with this purchase.

Wow. This is such a cool watch. I'm a watch guy, I've seen a lot of very high end watches. This is such a quality watch. Pro's : Crystal is super clear, Lume is awesome. Nice green.. ALL the markers are lumed including the dot. One way directional clicks nicely. Easy to set, screw down crown. Light weight. Band is super comfortable. Super clear watch. Great everyday. Con's : Can't think of any. Summary --> What a value. This is a legit watch. I bought the Pepsi on sale for $63 + 8.99 for 3 year warranty. Special edit - Bought for my 11 year old son. He loves watches and has been wearing since ~5. I could not believe what garbage the Timex was for $50 with the plastic crystal. It got so scratched to the point we had to keep a plastic cleaner paste and clean 1x a week. what a joke. We got tired of it. I know I could get him a $15 watch which I have that last about 6 -9 months before they fall apart. I spend money on garbage over the years. I wanted to get him something quality. Life is short, I lost my dad too young and wanted him to have it. Hopefully he doesn't loose it. LOL. He loves it. Hope this helps someone.

I'm a watch snob. I hate quartz. I prefer mechanical watches. Even so, I really like this watch and I wear it now as my daily driver. I'm quite surprised that I could learn to love a cheap $40 watch like this one. I have a collection of elegant mechanical wristwatches, that include everything from the basic stainless steel Swiss dive watch to more expensive French and German horological timepieces with power meters and moon phase complications (but no tourbillions). I bought this watch to replace my daily driver, which was a fully mechanical oyster day-date watch by a famous watch company. My previous daily driver had a band that kept failing due to a heavier than steel case and a band that allowed too much force to be transferred to the spring bars when I would bump the watch into something. As a result the band would bend the spring bars and detach from the oyster case whenever I bumped the case once too often and too hard. (I do this a lot, I'm very hard on watches and I end up eventually destroying every watch that I wear as a daily driver.) My last daily driver invariably ended up have a let-go by the strap while loading some gear, causing it to go bouncing to the ground. My nice day-date mechanical watch ended up taking regular beatings. I typically had to replace the spring bars once every month or two. The third time that I had to replace the crystal I decided that the body was so beaten that I wasn't going to repair it any more. I needed a more durable cheap / disposable watch that I could afford to sacrifice to the rigors of daily activity. The Duro fit the bill. I had reservations about the Duro for several reasons, one being that it's quartz, and I hate quartz watches. I got into mechanical watches because I don't like dealing with the hassle of replacing quartz batteries. Another reservation is that no real dive watch can have a quartz battery, for obvious safety reasons. Another reservation is that I don't particularly like leather or rubber/silicone bands, and prefer a heavy metal oyster-type bracelet. Perhaps the biggest reservation was the ridiculously large size of the Duro, which is so large that it's comical -- the lug-to-lug distance is 48mm and the case diameter is 44mm. With a 44mm case diameter the Duro definitely qualifies as a Bozo / Stallone / Schwarzenegger watch (think Panerai). Much to my surprise, the Duro "wears smaller" on the wrist than its 44/48mm measurements would predict. The lugs are arched downward toward the wrist instead of outwards, so that the band is more likely to wrap downward than to stick out sideways and elevate the watch on your wrist. The rubber strap is well-shaped, flexible and wears quite well. The result is that the watch wears comfortably and much smaller on my 7+ inch wrist than I would have expected. Being someone who believes that an optimal man's watch size is in the range of 38-40mm, I never would have predicted that the 44mm Duro would wear so well. I had reservations about the Bozo size and I had been putting off purchasing it for years because of it. When my other watch finally suffered it's coup de grace, I decided to order the Duro. Those reservations that I had turned out to be unfounded. I recommend this watch. It's good looking, it seems pretty durable, it's got quartz accuracy, the curved lugs don't overhang the wrist, it wears well and the fit and finish are of surprisingly outstanding quality. The mineral crystal is adequately durable, and the one-direction rotating bezel has 30-second clicks. The lume is OK but doesn't have great persistence. At this price point nothing more should be expected. All things considered, it's hard to find a better dive-look watch with such good fit and finish. At this price point my plan is to sacrifice it as a daily beater, throw it away and replace it with another one when it comes time to change the battery. By that time I expect that I will have beaten it to death and I'll need to replace it based on looks alone. When that time comes I'll probably buy another Duro. Highly Recommended, much to my own surprise.

Casio makes a wide array of watches, and I've owned several during my lifetime. This dive watch seems to be highly rated and sells for a very reasonable price, relative to its apparent quality. The watch case itself is very heavy, and very well finished with its combination of polished and finely brushed stainless steel surfaces. The large rotating bezel gives this watch the high-end look, and the face with its sword-type hands and delicate red pointer second hand goes for the classic Rolex/Tudor/Orient dive watch look. The Japanese quartz movement works silently (I struggled to listen for the "tick" sound, but couldn't hear one). The screw-in type crown works well and operates the date window and hand adjustment smoothly. I think the date window could have been a bit larger, as the date in the window is difficult to read with such a tiny text size. Also, the resin band, which buckles and unbuckles easily and smoothly, could have been silicone instead, as the resin band is rather stiff. But those are fairly minor criticisms for this watch, which so far is a pretty decent performer at a bargain of a price.

This thing is a tank. Very well made as we all know. You can feel the weight on your wrist but it’s very comfortable. I switched to a NATO strap. If you have a small wrist, it may look big on you. I’ll be buying the black and blue one soon. Very impressed with this watch

I received this watch on 1-20-2018. I received my first Casio watch on Christmas morning somewhere around 1979. That watch, a simple, black plastic digital one, kept working for about 15 years, on the same battery. This wasn't any great feat in my mind at the time. It was just all I really knew, except for the time when I got an Armitron calculator watch at some point. Not only did the Armitron not last, it also felt like it wouldn't last. The buttons were flimsy, the edges rough, and it had an overall plasticky feel, even though it was gold. My old Casio shined by comparison. My dad got himself the same one as me that Christmas, except in stainless, and anytime it came up in later years, he'd laugh and say something like "David, I think I wore that watch for thirty years and I only replaced the battery once." So that is what Casio is in my mind. One time at the office I said to a coworker that Casio was the best watch in the world. Of course he laughed and quickly pointed out that there are FAR better watches. And he was certainly correct, but not for the money. I've had a few other Casios in my life. A Forester model which was really cool because of the forest green color and the fact that it was a fishing watch. What "fishing watch" actually meant was that it would tell you the about the ocean tides. Living in New Mexico, this was totally useless, but I still liked the little fish that would appear when the tide was high or something. Another Casio I got was the one with the world time with the atomic clock sensor. This one was a little off. The light stopped working after a while and setting it was a pain. But it's still ticking in my drawer right now after eight or so years and I still wear it here and there. But probably not anymore. This watch...this watch has me all smiles. I don't really have words to say. I'm not necessarily a "watch guy" in that sense, but I have always had one on my left arm since the age of ten or so. And honestly if it wasn't for Casio, I probably would have skipped wearing one mostly. Casio doesn't always hit it out of the park. After all they live and breathe like the rest of us. Maybe that's what makes this one such a beauty. I bought a very nice Bulova a couple years back for around $400. I like that watch. I get compliments on it and for good reason. It's solid. It's heavy. They paid very close attention to the design and the finish is beautiful. It feels like a $400 dollar watch or more. It is perfect for wearing to the office. Well, not really. Not since 1-20-2018. I don't dive. I have never diven (?) OK I have never dived. But something about a watch that is designed to be SIX HUNDRED FEET UNDER WATER AND STILL WORK gets me interested. There are many watches that can do this and much more, but they are not this watch. If I was a Viking, this would be the watch I wore. So what can I say? Yes, the date is comically small. I need reading glasses for small print and still can't read the date with them on. I guess most people who have not just come out of a coma should know the date. Touche, Casio. Oh and the Lumiglo or whatever is weak and nearly pointless, but at least it's there. I do like to light it up with my phone flashlight and look at it in the closet, however. But if I tap the crystal with my fingernail you know, it feels like I am tapping bulletproof glass. The bezel has a great click and I actually find myself using it! I use it to time my commute, or to time how long the waiter takes to bring the food out after I order. This is the kind of watch that is not going to win you any likes or impress anyone, unless they are a very smart, unselfish engineer type. Maybe. With my Bulova, people have actually wanted to hold it, they have examined it closely and then complimented me on it, gave it back, and then looked at it on my arm as if they may mug me later. This one won't really do that. You are the only one who will ever truly appreciate what this watch is. It's a secret love affair. I like that about it. A few things that I will say that I haven't read about it in those other reviews. The band for one thing. It's pretty good. It looks all plasticky and horrible in the pictures, I thought anyway. But in fact it is pliable, if not supple, and rather well proportioned, if not svelte. The clasp is also sort of excellent. It's not cheap. It's like they actually realized that the clasp is just as important as the other parts. It's like some executive with Casio said "The clasp is the most important part of any watch. It's what keeps it on. Make it beefy." Yep. That's exactly what happened. It is well made, with a soft, rounded finish, and it makes a nice clink sound when you are putting it on. There's really nothing more to say. Except when I look at this watch to see what time it is, I know the time within .003 seconds of my eyes seeing the face. It's just so clear. And functional. And simple. I never really thought about that with any other watch, and I love it. So I'll stop now, but expect an update when this watch becomes less of what it is now, or in the year 2040, whichever comes first. ***UPDATE*** April 27, 2021 The watch has become slightly less of what it was then, but not really. Let me explain. This thing has lived on my arm most days since I bought it. That's about 1,200 days. Before you ask, I do not take the watch into water. No showering with it, no swimming with it. I don't sleep with it, but I do remodel homes here and there and other sweaty messy things too and it gets dirty sometimes. Anyways, my first tiny little bummer happened last June, though it was so tiny I did not do an update. The bummer was that the battery died. Bummer. So I took the watch in to some random fancy jewelry store I found on Google maps, and they replaced the battery. I waited five days for the job to be completed and it cost twenty bucks. I got the watch back and all was well. Then about four months later it died again. This time slightly more furious, I went to a little jewelry store I happened to be driving past and this guy took it apart, checked the battery, which he said was perfect, cleaned it really well and said it was probably just dirty inside. I suspected shoddy workmanship and/or a lack of attention to detail on behalf of the fancy place. So I was on my way with a clean, healthy watch. The guy didn't charge a dime and did this on the spot and it took five minutes. He was a pro. The watch actually seems to keep even more perfect time since that happened. Seriously. And then the other day the band broke while putting it on. (See pictures) I just ordered a genuine replacement band from Casio, and I noticed in the pictures that the replacement says Casio JAPAN on it, while my original one says CHINA. (See pictures) So I have high hopes for the new one. Other than these two things, the watch has been stellar.

Good and reliable quality. Satisfied.

Superbe montre, belle, fiable, étanche ( à 200m!) et solide: Qualité Casio! Le tout pour un prix serré Elle a mis un peu de temps à arriver des USA, pour cause de délais de dédouanement, mais j'étais informé régulièrement de son statut. Je possède également le modèle identique sans le marlin et donc encore moins chère, que j'avais malheureusement rayé dans une chute de vélo à laquelle mon poigné, lui, n'a pas résisté. D'où ce nouvel achat. Merci Amazon!

É original e lindo, meu marido amou!

価格の割には、申し分ない。ダイバーズウオッチのスタンダード。サイズ、重さといい、購入して良かった。しかも、時差１カ月間に３秒程度。本当に正確な時計だ。大事に扱っていきたい。

Rapport qualité prix très bon. Montre bien finie et intemporelle. Correspond exactement à ce que je cherchait.
