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

I am 80 and had many watches in my life, this one is 5 stars for quality and looks and reliability and price, wear it daily and love it. ❤️

Watch with a great reputation (deservedly) for its good looks, water resistance, and reliably good quartz movement. Did I mention that Bill Gates has famously worn this watch?

Let me start this review by saying, had there been a 10 star rating, this watch deserves it! I watched at least a dozen reviews on YouTube (I know, I have no life) and decided to take a chance with it. I have a manufacturing background and the fit, finish, overall package is amazing for the money. The fact that it has a screw down crown, water resistant to 200 meters and a 120 click unidirectional bezel is amazing. The watch even has a nice weighty feeling and dose not feel cheap or cheesy. Even the included strap is comfortable and good quality. I currently own over a dozen watches including Seiko, Citizen, Tissot, and Tag Heuer, and I like them all but enjoy the looks, quality and value and wear the Casio quite a bit. *** Note, I have a 7 1/2¨ wrist and love the 44mm case size but it may be a bit overpowering for a small wrist. ***

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!

This watch looks better in person. The photos don't do it justice. This is a watch with an actual 44mm case diameter (I measured it myself) minus the crown protectors. The lug width is 22mm. The resin band is reminiscent of the ones on big G-Shock watches. Resin will crack, eventually from UV exposure and constant bending. And resin straps are comfortable, but in not hot weather, so I replaced it with a stainless-steel bracelet, which dissipates heat quickly. On my 6 inch wrist, I am surprised that it looks good on me, despite is large size. It is also comfortable to wear. The quartz movement is very, very accurate. I can understand why Mr. Bill Gates wears this model and other Casio watches. It is a handsome watch that is reasonably-priced, along with high-quality materials and design. It runs on battery power, which means I don't have to pay a lot to get it serviced like a mechanical watch.

I consider myself and by peers as definitely a watch collector and enthusiast at atleast at some level. I have everything Casio DW5600s to Omegas, Rolex Daytonas and know brands like Greubel Forsey and Alange-Soehne Phenomenal watch, accurate, and I used to work in a high end 4 star hotel in a exceptionally wealthy area with very wealthy clients and have gotten complimented on this watch many times, more times than even my Rolex Explorer 2 ever did. And to non watch people they’ve literally asked if it was Rolex. My only issue is the mineral glass does scratch a little too easily: The gold color option was not tacky or fake looking and wore well as an everyday or casual. I’m purchasing another one and having the crystal replaced with sapphire through a customizer though.

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!

ビルゲイツ愛用で有名な時計。子どもが欲しがり誕生日プレゼントに購入。シンプルで試験の時も使えるし、ダイバーウォッチなので濡れても大丈夫なのも嬉しい。

Il ne fait aucun doute que ce modèle, et quelque soit la couleur, prendra de la valeur dans le temps. Pourquoi ? C'est le dernier modèle (MDV 106) à avoir le marlin sur le cadran. La MDV 107 ne l'a pas, et beaucoup le regrette. Le bracelet est néanmoins assez cheap par rapport à la qualité de fabrication du boitier. Je l'ai vite changé pour un NATO bleu liseré blanc. Commandée aux US car indisponible en France.

As a student, back in 2010-11, I used to work in a high-end jewelry store in Montreal selling watches (at Birks). We sold Tissot (entry level), Longine, Rado, Cartier, Omega, Concord and much more. I've always dreamt of getting a nice diving watch because I liked the look and functionality. 12 years went by. Recently, I wanted to treat myself with a nice diving watch. I was looking around and thought 'why not try the 4,8 stars review diving watch on Amazon before buying an expensive one?'. If you are looking for a nice, accurate, good looking watch around 44mm, THIS IS IT! Qualilty-Price speaking; This is better quality and cheaper than Tissot if you're not looking for a chronograph watch. The band isn't the best out there, but this is easily replaceable. I wasn't expecting much for the price tag, but this one is a Wow!
