Casio Men’s Quartz Sport Watch MDV106B-1A1V

Um belo e acessível Casio. Recomendo.

If you’re after a well made, great looking diver’s watch for a great price, the Casio MDV-106 Duro should be at the top of your list.
The Duro is charming in its simplicity, very easy to read, extremely tolerant of water, and all around easy to live with.
I bought the plain black one first, and absolutely fell in love. It keeps great time and looks far more expensive than the forty dollar sale price I paid for it.
The black and gold followed next, and then the blue one (the Bluro).
Next I waited for the black and blue (Batman) and the red and blue (Pepsi) to go on sale.
This blue and red model (called Pepsi by many) is striking and sporty-looking.
It’s beautiful with the factory rubber strap, but would be even more dramatic with a red rubber strap or a red or red and blue NATO.
Barton even offers a dark blue and red rubber strap in their Elite line that I’ve got my eye on, I think it’d be amazing with this watch!
So I now have five Duros, and the only one of the current catalog that I lack is the green one (Kermit).
So I’d say my only caution related to Duros is self control in terms of collecting them!
Hope you enjoy your Duros as much as I love mine!

I love the appearance and feel of this watch. However, was confused at first about how to set the time. The crown must be loosened (like a screw) before being pulled out.

The Casio Duro (Marlin) is a favorite among most watch enthusiasts, and it’s plain to see why. It’s a pretty decent dive watch for not a lot of money, looks good, and wears comfortably despite its 44mm diameter.

So, 44mm across, 22mm lug width, 12mm thick. It is on the larger side of things, but it isn’t too bad.

Screw down crown leads to 200m of WR. Definitely enough for daily life.

Plain black dial with a sunburst finish, date complication, contrasting white indeces. Yes, it has traces of a certain other very famous dive watch, but it has enough of its own identity to be its own watch.
I chose the “Batman” bezel version of this watch to have some visual pop.

For a watch this cheap, the finishing is actually impressive, and is another one of the factors that add to the whole, you get a lot for what you pay.

Basic quartz movement, set it and forget it til the battery dies, and the accuracy is dead on.

The only thing I really didn’t like about this watch, is the default strap it comes with. It’s just not that great. So, I replaced it with a canvas one. Not only does it keep to the nautical spirit of the watch, but it’s so much more comfortable, and looks way cooler, in my opinion.

After you add it all, it’s simply a great watch to have.

This is a superb watch for the price. So much so that in my opinion you cannot get better value for your money for a watch of this type. The finish on the case is excellent and it is even polished between the lugs. It is accurate to 1 second per week which is much better than advertised although that may differ slightly from watch to watch. I only have a 5.9 inch wrist so I find the rubber strap to chunky for me so I have fitted a stainless steel bracelet which I much prefer. Even with my small wrist I don’t find this watch too big as it has short strap lugs at a very nice downward angle. All things considered, this is the best value for money that I own and I would highly recommend it to anyone who hankers after a dive watch. It gives the impression from the build quality that it is tough and will last a really long time.

Build like a TANK. Good for Surfing, camping, mountain biking and hiking. Looks great as a dress watch.
You can’t beat the price. Great gift for your family members, friend or even a person in need.

Es bueno y bonito.
Reloj grande, correa de silicon y se sujeta mejor a la piel para el uso que le doy.
