my vote goes for the solar version
From Fullmosa, it rattles a little and the clasp doesn't have micro adjustments, so you'll wear it a little tight or a little loose, but it's cheap and looks good; the brushed finish match the Duro case.
This is actually just the standard Kindle. You'd, however, be downgrading though 😅. That being said, I love the size of this one and the clarity/legibility in terms of "resolution" is still very crisp.
Edit: grammatical
> 10 year battery ENGRAVED on the bezel
Yeah. Ick.
I find Casio's trademark "sea of text" to be charming on its smaller and cheaper digital watches.
But here the ILLUMINATOR and 10 YEAR BATTERY are too much for me.
I would actually f'in love this design without those two pieces of text.
Actually though?
Might actually might look good with just the engraving if the paint could be removed.
For some reason 10 YEAR BATTERY just seems extra tacky on a $110 watch. If I am spending $100 on a watch then I don't need to brag that the $2 battery lasts 10 years, lol. That's the type of shit that's fun on a $25 Casio but wack on a $110 Casio.
FWIW, they're selling at $68 on Amazon, or $85 for the solar model S850SG which is extremely similar: https://www.amazon.com/Casio-Tough-Solar-Quartz-Stainless-Steel/dp/B07N16YQHY
I got the A159 last week; it took a while to find it from a decent vendor at a reasonable price. I ended up getting it from newegg of all places. I got this exact model because it is identical to John Candy's in Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
You are right though that the high polish center of the Jubilee stands out more and you have me looking at the A158WEA and a two tone Jubilee. If you look in the reviews there are photos of others who have done it.
Try this one. I believe same as mine. I got mine yrs ago before. Tried with this Duro and fell in love with the pairing..

For sure a Royale "world time". No Casio fan should not have one.
An edifice perhaps. There's 2 currently on sale at Amazon, from like $100 down to 30 and 50. One has a saphire crystal which is kinda crazy at.this price.

I have this and the Seiko one tagged below. Love both but think the Seiko (yes I know I’m on a casio sub lol) one edges it out a tad.
I know I just returned a Casio Oak today for the same reason... However fake white F91's are usually easy to spot. They tend to have black frames or lettering instead of all white.
Aniway, here in Spain it is still being sold new in Amazon for 32€.

It's this one. I've heard a lot of people refer to it as white, but it is most certainly a light beige. Looks dope, but honestly, unreadable in most light conditions. I still love it, but even the weedy F91w backlight would be a massive improvement.
I have seen people do a module swap with the regular positive display version, but I'm a vain fool and I love the look of the negative display. If it weren't so bad, I probably would have bought the OD green and the gorgeous navy blue one you have too. Still a great watch and a real head turner. Wear it in good health!
Just got this today from Amazon. Came from the UK crazy fast. Put it on an Archer leather strap and went hiking today. I had my eye on this watch for a while. Unfortunately, it’s no longer available on Amazon US. Good thing I picked it up when I did! Love the design!
Here, but it's Amazon France :/
Hope you find one. Good luck.
Mate I found a amazing retro watch not Casio but still ThinkGeek Steampunk-Styled Tesla Analog Watch Weathered-Brass Look on Metal Findings Plus Leather Strap https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I5Q2TCC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_EQWC5WFK0JRZW41HW2AX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
That's called a buckle and you can buy a new replacement one like these you need to know the width of the buckle to pick the right size.
Thing is, the difference in price isn't that much compared to a new band.
The buckle is held in place with a spring bar, just like how the straps are connected to the case. they're removed with a simple spring bar tool or it can be done with a really thin knife (be careful if you do it with a blade).
They're a 2-piece strap with the quick release pins, very easy to install. The watches are the W-800HG-9AV (the pic doesn't do them justice) the face is a dull copper color and works well with the orange straps.
im not familiar with the SKX bracelets - this is the one I got: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07FJZWP3H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I to had to wear it, on different bands to feel out which set up makes it perfect for me.
Have you tried -- I know this is blasphemy -- the Seiko SKX bracelet? Fits the Duro perfectly.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000P6AUGI
I have a few Duros, some on NATO, one on shark mesh. I would have to say the Seiko bracelet is actually by far my favorite in terms of both looks and comfort.
It's hilarious to see the Seiko logo on the clasp when I put it on hahaha
I'm really interested in the mtp 4500 with the Nato strap, it looks so good. I'm trying to decide between it ant this edifice https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003URUM6W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_ay2YFb96GQ8D8
How do you like it?
The best cheapest watch storage option I've found is this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NHM75HO
Price fluctuates between $37 and $43, but it stores 24 watches. That's $1.80 per watch at most. The quality is really good, it's not like some of these that have fabric that just falls apart within a day. I've seen other solutions, including DIY, and they can't seem to break that price.
Without any context of features, size, colors, here's what came to mind
​
#1 GWM5610-1 (mentioned above)
- Because I want this one
- Iconic and will fit in with your collection (if you so choose) literally forever
​
#2 GA2000
- Because I saw a post here today with a similar one, and it looked awesome
- It's not as popular, but has a great ana-digi look IMO
​
Of your 2 choices I'd go Casioak. If you are referencing the new GLides that's all over the sub right now, I think it looks wrong. Something about the case border and screen just feel....off, but that's my personal opinion.
Pros: countdown timer with auto-repeat, easy to read, only slightly heavier than a F91w, 5 alarms (one with snooze), $15, looks decent on a nato.
Cons: Not super durable, bad green backlight.
Two that I know of, one a cheaper Casio slide rule MTP-4500, the other a nicer Edifice EF-527D with internal slide bezel.
It's been hanging around $70 for a while, but it's back down to $45.99.
Amazon.com: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009KYJAJY Here's the price history: https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B009KYJAJY
This is not an all-time low, but it hasn't gone much lower than this in recent years. I am tempted to buy a spare or two so I can give them as gifts or maybe just keep a "backup."
Absolutely killer watch, beautiful dial that gives a nice sunburst effect in some light, looks as nice as divers at several times the price if not more.
Like many dive watches, it comes on a somewhat fugly rubber strap. That stock strap is actually quite functional and comfortable - no shame in using it! This dude REALLY shines on a 22mm NATO strap or metal bracelet, though. One of the all-time steals in the watch world.
The only possible downside to this watch is that 44mm may be too large for some folks' preferences.
It's a 22mm Fullmosa bracelet from Amazon UK bought for £16.99 (around $22 USD). Ideally I wanted one with curved end links but couldn't find one suitable, nevertheless I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality. It has solid (not folded) links, a decent clasp and an easy quick release spring bar system.

* Casio Men's MDV106-1AV 200M Duro Analog Watch, Black 4.7 out of 5 stars 5,796 ratings Amazon's Choice for "casio duro" $46.94 USD Prime OK
https://www.amazon.com/Casio-MDV106-1AV-Analog-Watch-Black/dp/B009KYJAJY
That's the stainless steel model with a black resin strap. $46.94 USD is the best I've seen, but I'm in the U.S., and I have "Free" 2-day shipping with Amazon Prime. I've seen the same MDV106-1A on Ebay for around $45 but there can be shipping added. For you shipping is probably extra, and that can get expensive to Australia. See if you can find one at a Hong Kong dealer. BTW there are a couple of new models of the MDV106 that came out a month or two ago, but they are still a little hard to find. One has a gold-tone bezel (MDV106G-1A) and one is blue (I don't know the model #, MDV106B maybe?) I just bought the gold tone bezel model for $60.55 USD on Amazon. You might want to wait a while for the prices on the new models to drop a bit. Good hunting.
The closest to this type of casio with a countdown timer (and improved stopwatch, and better backlight) is the model B640WD-1A. They also have a black version and "rose gold" version. It's a different shape though and is not chrome plated.
Maybe this could work if you can’t find a case. It’s not the same but could be fun to mess around with.
“Bluetooth travel keyboard” seems to give me some results

In my experience, only the transparent or semi-transparent bands and bezels take color well.
But once dyed, rinse well and there's no bleed out.
And, you don't need much rit dye. I use about 1/2 teaspoon in a bowl with about 2 cups very hot (but not boiling) water. I rarely dip over a minute.

Thisone should do the trick quite nicely.
It should be fine. Water resistance is to 30 m
https://millenarywatches.com/casio-a168w-1-review/
Not great but enough.
But: get the low end G shock
Forty five bucks. It can handle--shocks--and water and cold.
And you don't have to worry about it. 200 M water resistance.
Can't find anything supporting that this is an actual Casio product.
I can find this identical power bank under several different brands though.

Just get this it’s one of the lineage models it’s titanium and sapphire and a bunch of functions. They also have white face versions in the lineage line in titanium with sapphire
Thank you and I got this from Amazon for $30. It is a 22mm Seiko Jubilee Bracelet and as of right now it's $50 which is a bit much compared to what I paid a while ago.
Hi. I was looking for the exact same watch and found your post. I like the silver inner circle like yours, but my research let me to models with golden inner circle (like here in Amazon: https://www.amazon.fr/Casio-A1000MG-9EF-Watch/dp/B08ZDPWPKS/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=3JX154H5FMFVT&keywords=A1000MG-9EF&qid=1667834142&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjAwIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&s=watch&sprefix=a1000mg-9ef%2Cwatches%2C146&sr=1-1)
Can you share the exact reference/name of your model with silver inner circle?
Maybe you can try Amazon link
A168WGG most likely
this is the green one. pictured in OP is not green.
Here’s the fix for your problem:
I don’t know if your up to the challenge though…
Definitely counterfeit - weird that it has a Casio faceplate and bracelet, but the backlight almost looks more like the Skmei Royale (which isn't a counterfeit, but an homage), yet it's different otherwise.
Weird.
You might like the Edifice EFB-108D-7AV or the Edifice EFV-100
Sure, here it is: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B089DXZ8W2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
It is the cheapest black mesh I could find on Amazon, there seems to be a lot of copies of this exact model under different chinese brand names. BTW, the lug distance is 22mm, seen some places where it's quoted as 18mm. This strap probably won't last a lot but hey it's cheap and comfortable.
I'd get the Casio GWM5610-1 over the 5600 because you get radio sync (so you're always going to have accurate time), and solar power (no need to worry about battery changes).
The square format of the GWM5610 is also less bulky than the GW6900.
Yes, here ya go!
The LCW-M100TSE-1A*ER* may be easier to find than the LCW-M100TSE-1A*JF*.
They're the same watch, just released in different sale regions. ER is the European market, JF is the Japanese market. The LCW-M100TSE-1AER is available on Amazon here.
I got it on Amazon.in
I’d argue the face is definitely trying to be more like the F-94WA. The blue case is not traditional for the F-94WA though.
My son bought me the Casio Fishing Timer watch. When he calls and I'm wearing it I say it's fish o'clock.
https://www.amazon.com/Casio-Fishing-Timer-Quartz-Watch/dp/B0858MRMZV
For sure, the sun is the biggest enemy.
You could also give it a cleaning every month or two. Hand soap and soft-bristle toothbrush is how I clean mine. And then you could go a little overboard and use a UV protectant. I bought this for my car, but it seems to work on g-shocks fine:
https://www.amazon.com/303-30306-Aerospace-Protectant-Furniture/dp/B000XBCURW/
for similar type the shark mesh are very comfy all rounded edges wont pull my hairs like cheaper metal casio bands. the Milanese is thin and stiff and can dig the skin like with a backpack strap or changing a long sleeve shirt. just my observations.
You will need to buy this one and swap out the module and faceplate. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J47CRW8/ref=twister_B09VT1VXJN?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Nope, this is 100% stock from Casio. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083VMXGR4/ref=twister_B09S4VHC1B?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
If you are prepared to compromise a bit, and go for an ani-digi display instead of a pure digital, there is the Casio Lineage line of metal watches which have Tough Solar and are radio controlled. An example is the LCW-M100TSE. Here's a link: amazon.com Casio LCW-M100TSE
Update: same band with different hardware for half price on amazon.

Right on! Thanks. Just to be clear though, these are simply colored gels, correct? This is my backup plan if I can’t figure out another way.
I did find some other film on Amazon that looked interesting too: https://www.amazon.com/Metallic-Transparent-Hologram-Plastic-Fabric/dp/B0891RLHTG
I actually got an Armitron that I really like.
Full metal case. Retro styled. Terrible led light haha. But it very affordable and reminds me of older Casios.
Armitron Sport Retro Digital... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JWZ4WLN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
The LIW-M700D is just a whisker below an Oceanus Chrono, and probably the best bang for your buck in the Casio Lineage line. You can’t find it on Amazon: https://www.discovery-japan.me/category/select/pid/2090.
There’s also a fantastic go anywhere, do anything Edifice, the EFR-S108D that is in black or white, cool dial, has the octagonal bezel, sapphire, 8mm thin, and 100M water resistance. All for just a bit more than $100. This is my next purchase: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09643PS59?ref_=cm_sw_r_ud_dp_YZK7SGS3YXJYMBS35XBS

Definitely an Atlantis like this one, maybe the compass strap is discontinued now.
Same strap I wore on mine until I discovered this beauty:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093BW4L3Q?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1&psc=1
Can't go wrong either way though - the "Bluro" is one of my favorites!
I like it. Probably not the bracelet design I'd choose but I'm not one to knock someone else's taste.
I'm waiting on my green duro in the mail right now and am still deciding on the bracelet to go with. I got the "Bruce Wayne" variation recently and slapped a stainless bracelet on it and with not much for taper, I'd have to say it looks badass imo.
The green variation is either getting the same stainless bracelet or another that is stainless with black ceramic accents. I wanted to do all black but the case remain stainless throughout the variations so that kind of hinders my selection.
Its all personal taste in the end.
The fitted lugs definitely bring the bracelet and the watch together nicely. Here’s a link. They can be installed without and bending or much fuss. If you are patient and don’t act like a gorilla it’s a perfect fit. Here’s a link !
Check out this Casio W-218H-1AVCF. It looks just like G-Shocks from the "square" collection and it's only $20.
FYI: It comes other colors too.
What kind of digital? If you want just plain digital, Pulsar (made and owned by Seiko) makes some.
https://www.amazon.com/Pulsar-PQ2045-Digital-Display-Japanese/dp/B011Y4IA7U
The PW3000 got popular for a while. It’s all steel and even uses far spring bars like Seiko divers.
You could've asked /u/64cyclone in the thread where he posted it.
It looks very much like Duro MDV-106B, except that it has the quartz text under Casio and some text at the 6 o'clock position instead of the marlin logo.
18 on a college budget... This classic rugged one often on sale... DW5600E-1V... All ages/styles
Here is an amazon.ca (Canada) link:
I replaced the default strap seen in the Amazon listing with a grey rubber sport band from Belfastwatchstraps on Etsy.
The main feature us Tough Solar, and at this price it has a lot of value.
It also has a tide graph and moon phase watcher.
It's a fun everyday watch :)
Thanks Man. You have quelled my buyers remorse. I will post the fit of the bracelet on the lugs. Too a chance on amazon. Its this one....

It's just a cheap one that came as part of a kit -- like the red one seen here:
Ordinality it would be fine for opening the case, but the nick is so small and shallow that I can't fit it in.

I purchased a B640W via Amazon after reading the comments here and for some reason, it doesn't have the countdown timer. The engraving on the back says it's a module 3294 and everything I can find online seems to say it should have a countdown timer.
On my watch, the mode button cycles between timekeeping -> stopwatch -> alarm -> set time mode.
Kind of bummed as I really wanted the countdown timer.
Here's the listing I purchased from: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007421JGG/
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08KWDG5DZ
It's alright for the price. Two issues I've noticed are that the band seems to be designed for watches with "deeper" lugs so I had to shave a bit off the ends of the band to squeeze them deep enough into the TC-600 lugs for the bars to secure it. Also the two loops that hold the extra length of the band are too loose but maybe this is normal for leather straps, dunno.

What's a Duro? Only the best dive watch you can find for under $100. They come in all sorts of different colors. In my opinion the Black and Gold mdv106G looks absolutely amazing. They are in fact on sale right now if you're in the market. The only suggestion I would make is to put it on either a metal bracelet to look fancy or a Parachute Elastic Nato if you want the most comfortable strap you'll ever wear.
https://www.amazon.com/Casio-Inspired-Stainless-Quartz-Casual/dp/B083VMXGR4
It was black resin but it wasn’t anywhere near as complex.
The display was much simpler; like these.
In fact, you swap out this face with the RGW-20 body and that’s pretty much the watch from my childhood.
The more research I do, the more it seems like it was a ladies watch, mid to late 90s.
I don’t know how formal Casios are in general. :) Zero knock against them, mind you!
Maybe go for some Duros? Casio’s divers, and they look fairly nice!
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B083VMFR4C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_HKQ9HC1DCXMTZDDFGT69
If you’re going for that price range, Amazon has the classic DW5600E for $38.97 still! That’s $311.76 for eight of them, pre-tax.
Given that it was normally around $49 until just recently…I think this would work very well.
