Digital Watch Reviews

Is this the Casio killer we’ve been waiting for?

Having been a runner through the 1990’s I can say on good authority that the Ironman line always delivers.

The Casio G-Shock DW-5600 is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable and iconic watches you can buy for under $100, alongside the legendary F-91W.

These G-Shock alternatives may lack the patented shock-resistance feature, but all are durable in their own right.

This is the W-86. You've probably never heard of it but it's basically an F-91 that's better in every way but one...or maybe two.

I was immediately excited when I stumbled upon one of their latest releases that appeared to offer this nostalgic styling whilst foregoing the typical square shape.

So straight away, you can see this bears a striking resemblance to the likes of the Casio A168, both in terms of sizing and design. This Timex T78587 has the same style of high-shine resin case, with a darker inner portion and a digital display at the very centre.

The original model that this was based on seems to be very difficult to track down, aside from a couple of photos on Google images, though this new model appears to be a rather faithful recreation.

So, we’re hitting you with a full roundup of the small budget metallic offerings, which tend to offer a bit more of a versatile look than their black counterparts.

You see, there are precisely a billion of these small Casio digital watches out there and while the F91W is the most popular, there are many more modern alternatives that look just like it.

Well, I’ll be taking a look at two of the new Casio A1000 series watches, to examine whether these fit the bill or are more of a missed opportunity.

When browsing Amazon (as part of our recent collaboration), something slightly unexpected cropped up. A great-looking Casio that appeared to have a 6mm thickness. Surely, this has to be a typo?

I’d seen a full blackout retro-look Casio on the site a few months ago and had it sitting on my Amazon wish list. Therefore, I couldn’t help but make that my very first choice.

It’s cheaper, but is it better? You can get the Skmei for about £8, whereas the Casio is currently running at about £15; is it worth going for the lower cost option?

This is really similar but is slightly newer and features some upgraded features. So, I thought we’d compare the Casio A168 to A158.

A tricky little decision. The F91W or the A158? In this article, I’ll be running you through the key differences of both Casio digital watches.

This is my favourite watch. It’s the one I wear every day. Is the Casio A158W one of the best Casio watches of all time?

Today, I cover the Casio F-91W review to see if this is one of the top cheap Casio watches for under $50.
