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

Excellent dive watch. I doubt you can do better at this price point. Aesthetics and build quality are very good. Nice, chunky watch and keeps really good time. Just too bad its not Tough Solar. It's still a very capable dive watch you can rely on for diving or casual wear.

I just received the watch, it's even more beautiful on the wrist, easy to adjust and read the time. It could have a magnifying lens over the date, but the design is very nice. It seems to be of very good quality. The rubber strap seemed a little too rigid; we'll see how long it will withstand the repetitive opening and closing motion. In any case, there's a compatible steel strap available for this model on Amazon for $15.00, so when I have to replace it, it will only be once. The manual doesn't provide any instructions on how to unlock the crown for date/time adjustment. It seems quite simple and obvious, but you just need to turn it counter-clockwise until you feel the crown is loose, then pull it out. The first click adjusts the date and the second click the hours. Excellent purchase, a very beautiful watch.

Great value and nice watch. Really like this watch, good time and looks great. If it break who cares it’s $60.

I just picked this up today, came 2 days early, so it was a very nice surprise. This watch is a masterpiece! I've been into watches for about 15 yrs now, and I gotta say this is the cleanest dive watch I have ever seen. It's very simple tool watch, with a great bezel, and some great modding potential. The stock resin band is very comfortable but I'm rocking a 22mm black 1.5mm nylon strap with black hardware, just stunning.. No problem fitting thru the spring bars. Hour and minute hand could be a little beefier but as it is, it helps make the dial appear larger. Second hand to indices alignment is very good. Very solid watch.I love it.

I really like this inexpensive watch. Looks as nice as others 3 or 4 times more expensive. Looks great as an everyday watch.

Watch came up time and it looks good

>>Update 12/16/23<< I loved this watch for a few years. I loved the value for such an elegantly simple watch with such a rugged design. I really like the expansion of the new design options. Over the long term, however, I no longer have faith in the build quality of this watch. The first two of these lasted just over a year before they started loosing time. The case is bullet proof and the band is probably the toughest I’ve ever seen from a soft, flexible silicone/plastic band. However, my third one started loosing time only a few weeks after I started wearing it daily. I suspected this happened with the first two because the case is so heavy that kinetic type shocks and vibrations happen with extra force due to the extra mass which eventually damages the movement inside, likely the gears. But it happened so quickly with the third one and there was no sharp strike or vibration which should have caused it. To be clear, I’m EXCESSIVELY rough on my work watches (see the original review below). However, I became disappointed with the sturdiness of the movement installed in this watch. This watch does have a great, simple diver look and if you don’t beat the heck out of watches working in them they may hold up just fine. However, due to my waning confidence and the fact that the price has increased from $32 to $49 (but mostly the former) I don’t think I will be purchasing this watch any more. On the other hand, my current favorite work watch is the Casio AQ-S810W, “Tough Solar”. It’s not the same look as this watch but it has held up much better. In fact, it has held up the best as a work watch of any watch I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for tough maybe give that one a look. If you’re just looking for that diver look (but maybe not quite as tough) I still think this one is a good deal. >>Update 12/16/18<< I mentioned the simplistic look in my original review. Paired with the black silicone band that comes with the watch it is a bit of a utilitarian look. That’s fine for a work watch, quality silicone bands have a lot of advantages: they are very durable, very comfortable & very easy to keep clean day in & day out. On the other hand, I bought a few NATO/Zulu watch bands to swap around & use on a few of my watches for about $9-$13 each and what a difference! Almost all of my watches take a 22mm band (including this Casio diver) so I could swap them around & see what pairings I like the best. In addition, NATO/Zulu bands take about 5-10 seconds to swap out (without the use of tools once you have the old strap removed & spring bars in place). I added 2 pics to my review. One is my work watch (that I’ve been working in for about a year now) paired with a nylon band. By the way, it was actually my least favorite band which is why I put it on the work watch but it still looks really sharp! The other is my newest watch paired with a leather band (yep, I love this watch so much I got another one so I’ll have one I haven’t beat to death by working in it). It looks absolutely outstanding to the point it even makes a beautiful dress watch (albeit one that will take a heck of a beating!). Guys, I love watches. I already had an excellent dress watch. I have a Luminox blackout that I love. I have owned, literally, dozens of watches. This watch is the best value of any watch I have ever encountered and is one of my absolute favorites, ever. It’s an excellent work watch, an excellent dress watch and anything in between. >>Original Review<< To summarize: I’ve found this watch to be tough, functional & an unbelievably good value. Now, I’ve worn a watch 24/7/365 since I was in 3rd grade. If I can’t wear a watch to bed, in the shower & when I jump in the pool it’s not for me. While I have different watches for different needs (work, every day, dress, SCUBA diving) I have no need for a delicate, fragile watch. Also, doing HVAC, I work with my hands. Suffice it to say, I beat the everliving crap out of my work watches. I have been through dozens of work watches of various styles & brands through the years. By now Casio is pretty much the only brand I buy for work watches. In my experience, no other brand has even come close to the right balance of features, toughness, value & looks. I got this watch for a work watch. It has a clean, simple look, as most divers do, which makes it pretty easy to tell the time at a glance. It’s a tough, tough watch that takes a heck of a beating. That goes for the band as well. You could pair this watch with a better looking band but the silicone band that comes with it is made for comfort & longevity. Bands like this tend to last at least 2-3 years, even with the roughest of daily wear and they are extremely comfortable, especially after you break it in for a few weeks. The rotating bezel makes for a good, simple timer and the highly visible red second hand makes for simple timing for shorter periods. The low profile & smooth edges means it doesn’t get caught easily, even in tight areas. I’m going to give you some information but I want you to keep it in perspective. The dozens of work watches I’ve gone through before I started using Casios rarely made it even 6 months. I’m HARD on work watches. So my first one of these watches made it about 13 months before it developed a problem. It would loose time about once or twice a week. It would loose, maybe, 15 or 30 minutes suddenly and replacing the battery didn’t help. Now, for a work watch to last more than 12 months is very rare for me. Even the Casios that are still in working order after a year are so beat up I would replace them, always with a different watch that I thought had an interesting & useful set of features. But, for the first time, I replaced this watch with the same watch because I had liked it so much. My current one is 11 months old and still holding up quite well. Who knows, this may be my work watch for now on. This solid stainless steel case is practically bullet proof. That brings me to the negatives. That solid stainless steel case is relatively heavy. I have had heavier watches that beat up my hand & wrist. This one isn’t quite that heavy to me but if you’re used to Casios (which tend to be, overall, lighter than most watch brands) you may notice this watch is a little heavy. Having said that, it’s noticeable when you first put it on but I’ve gotten used to the weight very quickly & easily & it doesn’t bother me at all. Also, I would note the simplistic look. There are advantages & disadvantages to that extreme simplicity but it is perfectly inline with the style of a diver. I like the look of divers but it isn’t exactly the flashiest style for a dress watch. On the other hand, you could put a different band on it and enhance the stylishness quite a bit. So, this watch is, in my opinion, probably the best value I’ve seen. It’s a tough watch for a great price.

The Casio Duro is the best sub-$100 dive watch you can buy. Classy and built like a tank. In the watch community, everyone loves the Duro. I buy a 22mm nato strap for mine. I don’t like the rubber straps much and the metal bracelets for watches in this price range are stamped and cheap. On a nato, this watch shines! Spend $15-20 on a nato. It is a no-brainer. The duo has a noticeable weight, very easy to read and legible, is noiseless, and built to last. Water resistance is excellent and I swim in the oceans with mine constantly. The dial and indexes are bright and clear. Lume a rock is great. Watch is easy to set and has a screw down crown. Always recommened a Duro!

Este es un clásico con todas las letras. La mejor opción para un primer reloj o simplemente para tener en una colección, incluso para ser el único reloj de una persona. Todos sabemos de su fama, y si a alguien le llama la atención, no hay por qué dudar. Personalmente, el negro original nunca me encantó tanto, y aunque era bonito, fué el azul que desde el primer momyque lo ví dije "será mío", lo he comprado dos veces porque antes lo vendí pero realmente se extraña, eso sí, como punto negativo es la correa que trae, para empezar, es negra aún en el modelo azul y luego, es de calidad cuestionable, el reloj es calidad máxima en el rango de precio, pero la correa es a penas mejor que el de un Casio CA-53 o un AE-1000, siendo relojes de un tercio de precio, así que es casi obligatorio cambiar la correa y por tanto, es un gasto extra a un reloj que antaño era facil de conseguir por al rededor de 45usd pero que hoy en día está regularmente sobre 80usd. Yo le cambié a un brazalete de acero que tenía desde hace tiempo y compré el reloj en $1,169mxn(unos 60USD), precio por el que es perfecto, pero si se paga un poquito más, la realidad es que no decepciona nada. No hay mucho más que decir, las imágenes hablan por sí mismas, una carátula sencilla pero maravillosa, perfecta legibilidad, una fecha muy discreta, excelente bisel, aunque en el caso de este esta ligeramente desviado y no coinciden al 100% los índices, cosa que se entiende, es casi imperceptible pero a algunos puede molestar mucho. Corona roscada, el marlin aún grabado en la tapa trasera, un empaque muy sencillo y correa para cambiar, pero en cuánta sus acabados, perfecto por el precio adecuado. Dimensiones perfectas para prácticamente cualquier tamaño de muñeca, si bien es un reloj grande de 44mm, los disimula muy bien por su distancia entre asas tan corta de unos 47mm, así que el reloj viste como de 42mm para algunos de muleca grande o mediana y se verá de 44 para muñeca pequeña, perfecto para muñecas de 17cm(tal vez incluso menos). En mí caso, mi muñeca es de 18cm y uso relojes de hasta 45 cómo máximo.

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.

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!
