When I learned about the ProTrek PRW-6600Y I was genuinely shocked at how many features they've managed to cram in a 13mm case. Its got ABCs, thermometer, solar and multiband.. and would you look at that lume 😮‍💨

My wrists are on the smaller side but man does this wear well (mostly cuz of the thickness). I think I'll be wearing this one for a longgg time

Model is EFB-730L

Help me pick and why?

Got this in the mail yesterday and love it. Color! Size! Design! Features! Kinda nails it on every level for me.

I’ve worn a watch of some kind every day for the last several years. I’m constantly fighting it on account of having to wear gloves at work and they push the watch up my wrist, or twist it to a weird angle, or just straight up pop the buckle. I needed something better but wasn’t happy with the belt-mounted options I could find. So I decided to make my own.

This is a Casio W-96H. I removed the bands and drilled out the lower holes with a 5/64” bit. I then used a short length of 1/16” stainless steel wire rope and two stops to attach it to a Tale of Knives Ace. I didn’t have the tools near me to cut those wire ends completely flush, but there was a small tube of Gorilla Glue sitting on the table so I just covered up the ends with that to keep from poking myself.

...and three weeks later, I got a collection of seven Casio's!

What do you think? I just bought it and loved it

I’m in love. It’s my first Casio.

Let me see what you’re wearing today.

I’ve posted here before that I love second hand Casios, and this is my latest score. The W735H hasn’t been a reference that I’ve been interested in, but I didn’t have a vibe alarm Casio, and I couldn’t pass on it at this price at 11 pm, 5 minutes from my place last night. It just needed a good cleaning.

I’m glad bc I would have never known how underrated this reference is. It wears nearly identically to my DW9052 and has one of the best LED backlights I’ve ever seen in the budget line. The vibe alarm is just strong enough to notice without being jarring or loud.

Is it worth the $55 retail? Probably not, but I highly recommend at a discount. The gold trim variant is currently on sale for around $22 on the Casio outlet site if you’re looking to get one before it’s discontinued. I would say it’s 100% worth it at that price. G-Shock feel and features.

Have a great weekend, Casio nerds!

...Clean your watch once in a whie. I used to work in a watch repair shop, and sometimes I literally had to decline changing the customer's battery as the watch was so filthy, I'd fear for my health. Sometimes there was a 1-2 millimeter thick layer of grease, skin and other stuff under the strap and on the back of the watch. These were the same people telling me that they are "allergic to materials of watches", thus getting a rash on their wrist. It was hard to keep a straight face. But yeah, rinse them, brush them, clean them.

Don’t wear this watch very often, but it stands as one of my favorite Casio watches of all time. No mods other than swapping the original band for and elastic strap. What’s on your wrist today?

Got the urge to start wearing a watch again and couldn't be bothered to get a new battery put in my old daily. Been looking at Casios for ages but today was the day apparently, so I decided on a whim to grab an A163WA (because I prefer a metal strap to a plastic one) from Argos for £19 - $25.20 or €22.69 at the current exchange rate. At a time when I don't think I could get a takeaway for that much, or where a round of drinks could cost that easily, I'm very contented with that price!

I love these so so much but from what I looked up and surely this is wrong they come in 42-45mm sizes?? I’m looking for like a 38mm max I have petite man wrists :(. So if you have anything similar in 36-38mm or a small 40mm please let me know. Doesn’t even have to be Casio I just want a new everyday watch so I don’t beat on my datejust which has sentimental value it’s nothing special otherwise

EDIT: the goal is run this on a nato strap have that kind of cool solar radio wave field watch looks idk I made that up

people saying its a PRX clone , well to me its 100% better looking at the price, flawless watch , im getting the gold with champagne dial next

My first analogue Casio watch and just love the simplicity. I don't need features, just an accurate watch that is simple and inexpensive. I've just started collecting and have a couple of F9-W's, an F105-W, an A168 and an LF30-W. I'm down a rabbit hole but I haven't broken the bank...yet!

Now and then I see questions pertaining to the water resistance of the Casio DBC-611. Officially, it is resistant to splashes, however I think it likely has the same rating as the F105W-1A. I've owned this watch about 10 years now, and I shower with it on nearly every day and have gone swimming and diving with it in saltwater without any issue. I removed the back last month to change the battery and there is no indication of water ingress anywhere.

At first, I was concerned that the resin case might not be durable enough, but it is just fine and this watch has been banged around countless times. I am also very impressed that the gold finish has not worn off by now. Anyway, I thought fellow DBC owners might find this interesting.
