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

Likes: Accuracy (owned for a fortnight now and has neither gained nor lost even the tiniest fraction of a second... Build quality is superb. Being a quartz piece rather than a mechanical one, the Duro is light, a mere 92 grams on its resin strap and still only 140 grams on its "beads of rice" solid link steel bracelet as seen in the attached images and video clip. That blue face, wow! The light play on there is fabulous and matched only by a couple of much more costly watches from my collection, funnily enough both Asian rather than Swiss. The bezel action is excellent, very "fidgetable" as one well known watch reviewer says when encountering a positive, neither too loose nor too tight bezel on a review subject. There is the very slightest of free play around the check spring but this is a very good bezel action, exceptional among most sub-£300 pieces. Consider that this MDV106 was purchased from a USA based Casio specialist on Amazon for a highly acceptable sub-$65 cost and remember that many outlets across in that US of A occasionally sell these for even fewer dollars. Comfort on wrist. On the bracelet seen in the images, the female end links mean that this large watch fits perfectly on my 5¾ inch wrist. Some reviewers find the watch to be too large, but let's not forget that the shape, as well as the circumference of the wrist can be a major factor in how comfortably a watch fits. Mine was OK on the resin strap too, but the bracelet (from a well known watch industry professional whose business is based in the New York area (USA, not the place of that name between Shiremoor and North Shields😉) Dislikes: Hmm.. Nah, sorry, but at this price it has proved impossible for me to identify anything about the MDV106 that fails to satisfy in terms of form or function. It is beautiful, especially - for my taste - in the blue face + blue bezel version. OK, so the lume could be better, but I had already learnt of this from many - but not all - of the online reviews I've seen and in fact, it's not too bad, just don't expect the 106's markers and hands to last like BGW9 (a lume formulation found in many, much more costly watches), comparing with such a watch from my own collection I'm not disappointed and the 106's lume is fine at the price and better than that seen on some £500 plus watches that aren't going to be named here, but still sell well and are generally liked. Whether you're one of the Casio aficionados who still hasn't bought an MDV106, or someone who simply wants a solid, reliable watch that can work as well in daily use as it can up to 200 metres below the sea, this watch is well worth considering. Actually, just buy one, these aren't going to be available for too much longer and is likely to hold its value, not that I'm suggesting that anyone should hoard watches speculatively and if anyone asks, my 30+ Casios all see some use but this is my best yet, in spite of (because of?) it's total absence of functionality beyond telling the time accurately, looking pretty and fitting well. Highly recommended, highly likely to satisfy. Buy one while they're still available new, go on, you know you want to....... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great watch, providing you have a wrist of at least 7 inches. I was missing a gilt watch from my collection and this is perfect. It's the largest size I could have but I have paired it with a two tone bracelet and it looks superb in my opinion.

Likes: Amazing (watch) build quality & excellent value for the money - under £60 at time of purchase: late Oct' to Early Nov' 2023 - if it holds up to MY use over the lifetime of the battery AT LEAST TWO YEARS I hope. LOVE the Shiny Blue Dial, & style of thbeliev shed lumed hands. The Seconds hand DOES line up properly as far as I can see on ALL of the sec/min markers - except for 1 or 2 between 7pm & 10pm. Light weight - you barely know it is there (that is good for some, but maybe not others), which I LIKE in the case of THIS watch because I will NOT be using as a 'Dive' watch. It looks 'too nice' to ruin it doing that. DISLIKES: The BLACK rubber/plastic strap that it comes with - removed with minutes of trying on, even though it felt 'sort of ok', but no thanks. My comment HERE is about the look & fit of the original strap, not the 'quality' of its material. I will be keeping the original - just in case, like with ALL my 'originals'. ONLY 5 of my watch collection still wear the 'originals' (including a titanuim bracelet on one watch), since there are currently no good or better alternatives available. 16 watches have BETTER fitting for ME (& I hope long lasting) & certainly more comfortable alternatives fitted, including on THIS watch. While the seconds hand is quite nice as it is - a large arrow - it would be nice/better to have a RED version of it as that would stand out well or better against the dark shiny blue dial. For a 'dive' watch the lume is utter rubbish, so don't believe anyone who says it is ok for 'swimming'. It is so dim you would need 'Eagle Eyes' with its Ultra Violet & Infra Red Night Vision Goggles to use it successfully diving. But it is less than £60, so........whatever. Would be so much better with SAPPHIRE Glass instead of cheap mineral glass. To Casio I would say (they would not care though probably): Include Sapphire Glass & Lume that actually works. Do NOTHING else to the watch (return the Marlin Logo on CURRENT models that do NOT have it), except MAYBE inprove the stiffness of the bezel clicks - make it STIFFER so as not to move in use. KEEP the '200m' WR Double the price (to about £120) & it would still be good value. Also include a steel bracelet option - with a divers extension & more than three adjustment holes on a MILLED CLASP, plus four or five removable links at each side of the clasp - & do NOT use 'folded' links - for about £40- £50 MAX extra, when buying the watch NEW. DUMP the '50m WR' model, not worth bothering with - a 'divers' watch needs a BIG dial, with readable lume, & a good WR level. That model has NONE of it.

I was in the market for just one more watch and this true modern classic came up on sale in the less common blue face variant. Everyone who is into watches spends far too long watching review videos and pondering every tiny option and lets face they often arrive not quite what you wanted or expected. This was the rarer case where it exceeded my every expectation. The blue face is especially nice. The lume is bright and easily readable, it is on the larger side but fine for my wrist. The strap has oval holes and the stronger material means there are more of them giving finer sizing choices. It is truly waterproof with the screw down crown meaning you can actually swim with it (what I think should be the minimum spec worthy of any kind of waterproofing rating). Being quartz It keeps essentially perfect time with so little drift you really wont care. This is a cheap watch that will get compliments all the time. People who are not into watches will like the way it looks and assume it is far more expensive than it is and those that know watches will appreciate the heritage, the features and the overall value. Absolutely recommended. I will be buying other variants when they are on sale.

Este es un clásico con todas las letras. La mejor opción para un primer reloj o simplemente para tener en una colección, incluso para ser el único reloj de una persona. Todos sabemos de su fama, y si a alguien le llama la atención, no hay por qué dudar. Personalmente, el negro original nunca me encantó tanto, y aunque era bonito, fué el azul que desde el primer momyque lo ví dije "será mío", lo he comprado dos veces porque antes lo vendí pero realmente se extraña, eso sí, como punto negativo es la correa que trae, para empezar, es negra aún en el modelo azul y luego, es de calidad cuestionable, el reloj es calidad máxima en el rango de precio, pero la correa es a penas mejor que el de un Casio CA-53 o un AE-1000, siendo relojes de un tercio de precio, así que es casi obligatorio cambiar la correa y por tanto, es un gasto extra a un reloj que antaño era facil de conseguir por al rededor de 45usd pero que hoy en día está regularmente sobre 80usd. Yo le cambié a un brazalete de acero que tenía desde hace tiempo y compré el reloj en $1,169mxn(unos 60USD), precio por el que es perfecto, pero si se paga un poquito más, la realidad es que no decepciona nada. No hay mucho más que decir, las imágenes hablan por sí mismas, una carátula sencilla pero maravillosa, perfecta legibilidad, una fecha muy discreta, excelente bisel, aunque en el caso de este esta ligeramente desviado y no coinciden al 100% los índices, cosa que se entiende, es casi imperceptible pero a algunos puede molestar mucho. Corona roscada, el marlin aún grabado en la tapa trasera, un empaque muy sencillo y correa para cambiar, pero en cuánta sus acabados, perfecto por el precio adecuado. Dimensiones perfectas para prácticamente cualquier tamaño de muñeca, si bien es un reloj grande de 44mm, los disimula muy bien por su distancia entre asas tan corta de unos 47mm, así que el reloj viste como de 42mm para algunos de muleca grande o mediana y se verá de 44 para muñeca pequeña, perfecto para muñecas de 17cm(tal vez incluso menos). En mí caso, mi muñeca es de 18cm y uso relojes de hasta 45 cómo máximo.

As a student, back in 2010-11, I used to work in a high-end jewelry store in Montreal selling watches (at Birks). We sold Tissot (entry level), Longine, Rado, Cartier, Omega, Concord and much more. I've always dreamt of getting a nice diving watch because I liked the look and functionality. 12 years went by. Recently, I wanted to treat myself with a nice diving watch. I was looking around and thought 'why not try the 4,8 stars review diving watch on Amazon before buying an expensive one?'. If you are looking for a nice, accurate, good looking watch around 44mm, THIS IS IT! Qualilty-Price speaking; This is better quality and cheaper than Tissot if you're not looking for a chronograph watch. The band isn't the best out there, but this is easily replaceable. I wasn't expecting much for the price tag, but this one is a Wow!

I am 80 and had many watches in my life, this one is 5 stars for quality and looks and reliability and price, wear it daily and love it. ❤️

安定の高コスパウォッチです。ペプシカラーのものを持っていますが、もう少しドレッシーなものをと買ってみました。ベルトを黒のレザー(尾錠はゴールド)にすると結構高見えします。 精度も高いし、満足度の高い品です。

Zu Recht wird die Casio MDV106-1A allenthalben sehr gut rezensiert, Tests stehen zuhauf im Netz. Darum nur kurze Anmerkungen zu meinem persönlichen Exemplar: Die Ausführung ist makellos und hochwertig: Finisch des Gehäuses, Drehbarkeit der Lünette, Paßgenauigkeit des Kronengewindes, Positionsgenauigkeit der Zeiger, Lackierung des Zifferblatts: alles einwandfrei und weit teureren Uhren ebenbürtig. Die Wasserdichtigkeit habe ich noch nicht getestet, sollte aber für den üblichen Badeurlaub gegeben sein (keine 200 m Tauchzertifizierung!) Das Laufwerk ist ein hauseigenes batteriegetriebenes Quartzwerk, gewöhnlich mit gewissen Tolleranzen: meines läuft jedoch sehr präzise, binnen einer Woche +1 Sekunde (gemessen mit meiner Funkuhr Casio Wave Ceptor LCW-M100DSE - meiner zweite Casio und gleichfalls eine Spitzenuhr!). Die Lieferung (mit Hermes aus den USA) klappte auch bestens - in gut einer guten Woche. Ein kleiner Wermuthstropfen war das Uhrarmband: habe es durch ein solides Natoband ersetzt und jetzt ist die Uhr für mich perfekt! - nicht nur wegen des konkurrenzlos güstigen Preises!
