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.

No complaints. I have had it out snorkeling several times now with no issues and I wear it everyday. The price may be a little higher than it was even in recent years, but what isn’t these days? Still worth it in my opinion. Works like a charm, fits comfortably with the stock wristband, and doesn’t look too bad either. I would buy again.

I figured the Casio MDV106 would be a good entry-level, inexpensive dive watch to start with. I received it the same day that I ordered it, a day early. For the price, the watch is substantial. It is heavy, the case is well polished, the bezel turns nicely, the crown unscrews, as stated and the time and date are easy to set. The secondhand stops moving when you set the time so that you can synchronize it exactly. And the strap is wider than most, but seems to be a good quality, is fairly comfortable and is not too long for my 6 1/2 inch wrist. I may try a NATO strap, but I like the black resin look. The only con is that the date window is ridiculously small. Buy it, for the price you will not be disappointed.

the best watch for the money that I have ever bought. very solid and definitely takes a beating since its my work watch and I do very physical work. I started keeping my expensive watches in the watch winder and wearing this full time. because it looks so nice .

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.

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.

As my eyesight gets worse with age, I was looking for a durable, waterproof, easy-to-read watch with a simple timer that looked great on my wrist. I own both a Fitbit and Apple watch – I was getting tired of being tracked all the time and getting notifications about everything (which yes, I know can be adjusted). I’ve owned Casio watches before and still have a G-Shock digital that’s been running great for almost 20 years, so after reading many reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere, it was an easy decision to make. I went with the black face and bezel model, although you really can’t go wrong with any of the other colors offered. It’s a classic diving watch that, in my opinion, looks sturdy, cleaner and more elegant than some of the more expensive competitors. Given Casio’s proven durability over the decades and the price point of this particular watch, you can't miss with this one. There are a ton of You Tube videos and review articles online about this diver (which is a bit of a cult classic it seems) – the vast majority of which are overwhelmingly positive, so I won’t add much more here that hasn’t already been stated there. One common “complaint” that I noticed though is regarding the stock watchband. Many are critical of it, but I tend to disagree. I did take the advice of some and tried a few different aftermarket bands – the Barton elite silicone, a Ritchie classic leather band, and a Ritchie nylon NATO strap (all available on Amazon). With the exception of the NATO, I personally found the stock Casio diver band the watch comes with to be the most comfortable of the others tried – not taking away from or knocking the others by any means, it’s just a “why spend the extra money” type thing for a $50-ish watch. Simply a personal thing… Re the NATO strap in my pics: I did keep the Ritchie Premium Nylon strap to compliment the watch. It really does dress it up and make the timepiece pop for more “formal” occasions if you will – and very comfortable too. For everyday use though, the stock classic diver-style band turned out to be the most practical for me – one I recommend over aftermarket options and especially for those in the trades or who are knocking around on the beach, out hunting, at the lake, etc. If I had to be critical of any aspect of this watch, it would be the luminescent capacity of the hands and markers – something also frequently mentioned in many of the reviews I read online. It’s marginal at best. When blasted with high intensity light, the markers glow brilliantly initially, but it does seem to fade quick. I mention it because if this is an important feature for you night owls, it is something to consider. For me, it’s acceptable and not enough of a factor for me to change my rating of the piece. Bottom line is that I highly recommend this waterproof diver. It’s superior quality with Casio durability and reliability at a price that can’t be beat. It keeps d***-near perfect time and doesn’t have to be charged on a daily basis or wound ever – just a simple, inexpensive battery keeps it going for a couple of years. You will not be disappointed with this one! Thx, DT Edit 2/2/2024: A word on timekeeping: Having owned this watch for a while now, it does GAIN a few seconds every month. I go to www.time.gov to set adjust time every now and then... It's still more accurate than my other watches though - amazing considering this is a $50-ish dollar piece. Highly recommend this watch!

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!
