CasioMen's MDV106-1AV 200 M WR Black Dive Watch (MDV106-1A)

I was surprised by the quality (quite heavy and solid), style and (good) size of the watch. It’s an absolute bargain for a diver watch with 200m water resistance. I have other similar but much more expensive diver watches and this takes some beating.

I’m a watch collector my favourite watches are divers. I have 21 Invicta automatic pro divers which are all fantastic budget watches which have not let me down over the years! Also have a few other more expensive other brands! Because this one is quartz it put me off buying it for a long time, but I’m glad I did so! The price was cheaper than any of my other divers and the colour way I liked. It looked big and bold to read and was very accurate one or two seconds a month with my one! It’s certainly be accurate with in 15 seconds a month at most with yours! So it’s a pick up and go watch! It has a screw down crown like all dive watches have. WARNING! You have to remember to screw down the crown after setting the time or date to keep out the water which is up to 200m It’s a big watch though not very thick, those with under 7 inch wrist it will look oversized! The only other thing is that the lume doesn’t last long only a few short minutes! For the price you get a well made watch.

Most people know what they are buying when looking at these watches. Reliable, accurate and IMO good looking. The Duro is a no frills, functional divers watch, great quality for the price, iconic Sailfish / Marlin logo on the dial and caseback. This one is my third, and just as happy with it as I am my others. First thing I always do is fit shoulderless spring bars and a nato strap (normally a Zuludiver) and then I just enjoy wearing them. Fitting a sapphire crystal when the mineral gets scratched, or I have some spare cash.

I've never been that interested in this watch but at £37 I thought I'd try one out and I'm glad I did. Arrived from Wisconsin in about 2 weeks and I saved it for father's day. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened it. The finish is really very good and it certainly doesn't feel cheap. Size is wearable on my 7-1/4 inch wrist but 42mm would be better. The dial is well done and the second hand hit's the markers pretty much bang on. The date window is a bit small but usable and the lume is not bad for a budget watch. Bezel has a bit of play but I've seen worse and it does align well. People moan about the strap but I find it really comfortable to wear and it disappears when on my wrist. Screw down crown and caseback give this true dive watch capability at an astonishingly low price.Strangely these don't appear to have ever been officially available in the UK so Amazon is the best place to buy right now. Note, the marlin branded dial and caseback are to be discontinued which spoils the watches character imo. Grab one while you can even though they have gone up a tenner in the last week.

Nice looking 'marlin' divers watch. Quite big which appeals to me with a 7" plus wrist, but bear in mind for slimmer wrists. Usual Casio quality and every watch collector should have a Casio even if you're into luxury watches. You can't beat them for everyday drivers (I own quite a few G-Shocks). The strap is a bit basic as expected,but I swapped it out for a nicer one I had, but would look good with a NATO. Took a while to arrive as an import but worth waiting for.

Really well put together watch for the money. Nicely designed, simple uncluttered face. Very accurate, tough and good for every day wear. I would not wear it to go out for dinner, or to a function, but this is not what the watch was intended for. Its an attractive easy to see diver's watch that does what it says on the tin. A truly fit for purpose watch at an astonishing price. What more do you want? It also is far more accurate than a mechanical, and because of its meagre cost you are not going to worry about it too much. Consequently, it will probably end up being your daily wearer leaving any other more expensive alternatives as just plain unnecessary. I find that this Casio has a constant place amongst my luxury and vintage watches and spends far more time on my wrist than any of my much more expensive watches precisely because of its comfort and functionality. One last thing! This watch is remarkably light, despite great construction and good looks and after a few minutes you hardy know you have it on. Always essential in any wristwatch. buy one! Its a good watch.Take a closer look on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SXRSjFT9V8

Why did you choose this product over others?:Very nice looking watch with and expensive feel/weight about it. Have not tried the waterproofness yet and it keeps good time. The bezel action is smooth and the second hand lines up with the second marks on the face - unlike some of my others! Have had a few nice comments about it, so it must have a good look to it. I have now got another 106, with all black bezel, as I like the watch so much.

I have this watch in blue and black as at £50 buying them is practically guilt free. Both are stunning and made perfectly. The bezel action is as good as it gets. Alignment is perfect on both. The build quality is better than my semi is and citizen diver watchers. I am late to the party with these watches as I never liked the look of them in pictures. However they actually look and feel amazing. Many complain about the straps but I find them comfortable and durable as well as suiting the watch perfectly. I cannot find a fault with them and I have not ruled out purchasing more. Time keeping is excellent, clarity is good and the lume is ok. I would love a sapphire crystal version but then again that defies the character of what these watches are about. On another note I am a sucker for a red watch and would love Casio tio make a version…I can only dream!!
