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.

Amazing value for money. Bought this for my son. He loves it and so do i. His wrist is 6 inches. Watch is though and durable. Just what a 15 year old needs.

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.

Wow. This is such a cool watch. I'm a watch guy, I've seen a lot of very high end watches. This is such a quality watch. Pro's : Crystal is super clear, Lume is awesome. Nice green.. ALL the markers are lumed including the dot. One way directional clicks nicely. Easy to set, screw down crown. Light weight. Band is super comfortable. Super clear watch. Great everyday. Con's : Can't think of any. Summary --> What a value. This is a legit watch. I bought the Pepsi on sale for $63 + 8.99 for 3 year warranty. Special edit - Bought for my 11 year old son. He loves watches and has been wearing since ~5. I could not believe what garbage the Timex was for $50 with the plastic crystal. It got so scratched to the point we had to keep a plastic cleaner paste and clean 1x a week. what a joke. We got tired of it. I know I could get him a $15 watch which I have that last about 6 -9 months before they fall apart. I spend money on garbage over the years. I wanted to get him something quality. Life is short, I lost my dad too young and wanted him to have it. Hopefully he doesn't loose it. LOL. He loves it. Hope this helps someone.

Watch works well, times is fairly accurate, looks good, not too heavy, not too expensive. Dial doesn't stay illuminated longer than 1-2 hours, even after 12-15 hours in bright sunlight. Other than that, no complaints.

I’ve owned quite a few watches over the years and the Casio Duro MDV106 honestly deserves the reputation it has. For the money, this thing is hard to beat. I originally picked it up as a cheap everyday beater watch and it quickly turned into one of my favorite grab-and-go pieces. The size sounds large on paper but it wears really well, especially if you like traditional dive watches. The bezel action on mine is surprisingly solid and the watch feels much more expensive than it actually is. The dial is easy to read, the lume is decent, and the screw-down crown gives it a more solid feel than a lot of watches anywhere near this price range. Mine has handled daily wear, water, bumps around the firehouse, and general abuse without any issues. Pros: Excellent value for the money Classic dive watch look Surprisingly solid construction Easy to read dial Reliable quartz movement Great everyday beater watch Cons: Factory strap is just okay Mineral crystal will scratch eventually if you wear it hard Slightly large for smaller wrists Overall this is one of those watches that completely lives up to the hype. Whether you’re into watches or just want a dependable everyday piece, the Duro is tough to beat at this price point.

This is my first Duro and I understand the hype now. I'm kind of a watch nut and I get it - you will likely not be able to find a better watch in the 50-60 dollar price range. It looks great, the finish is above the price range, the bezel action is solid with no back-play, it's incredibly comfortable, and has enough weight to let you know it's a solid, durable piece. I'm ordering another one.

I've only had the watch now for a few days, so this review will stand as an initial impressions statement. I will, however, return and expand upon my review as time goes on. You can see this on my Casio W-735H review. I bought this watch so that I'd have a real diver style watch for our vacation to St. Lucia. I wanted something that looked and felt the part and could actually take some abuse in the water, but not make me cry if it breaks or I lose it. Initial impressions: Really beautiful color, I got the blue dial and bezel and it's an extremely deep, gorgeous azure. The size and heft are perfect for me, I have a 7.25" wrist and this fits perfectly. Any larger and it would look a little ridiculous. I'm not normally into polished cases like this one has, but I'm ok with it. The bezel is hard to turn, but that's actually a design feature. Dive watches are meant to be uni-directional and you really don't want them just freely spinning, it's meant to track usable oxygen in a tank, after all. I put mine on a NATO band and it fits the style very well, but I was not prepared for how good the stock bands are, they feel like very decent quality for mass produced plastic. The operation is silent, I'm sure that's from the density of the case and crystal, but it's totally silent, even when I held it up to my ear, I couldn't hear anything. I also have no idea how deep I'm going to take this watch, but the 200 meter depth rating instills confidence. I'll go nowhere near that, but it's still a nice feature. Gripes: Almost everything I have an issue with is subject to personal bias based on a design (artistic) choice and will not be applicable to most other people. First, I don't care for how small the Casio name and the Marlin logo at the bottom is on the dial, not a good use of negative space. Next, I also wish the lumed indices were slightly larger to help eat into the dial center a little more as well as the date window and number, I feel it's a little small. Again, a negative space design choice. I feel if the dial were balanced out just a little better, this would become my favorite daily wear watch. Very personal, small dings that really only matter to me. Some things that aren't design gripes? This thing really does attract fingerprints and it shows them off in all their detail, so I find myself constantly wiping them away. Also, you can get a pretty bad glare off the crystal unless it's pointed straight at your face. Lastly, the lume doesn't last very long, maybe 15 minutes before it's pretty well dead. In perfectly dark environments I'm sure you might still be able to see it, but not in partially lit, but still very dark areas. Overall impression after just a week: I really enjoy wearing and looking at this watch, the deep blue color catches my eye and I tilt and turn in the light so that I can see the ultra deep color through the crystal. And, for what it's worth, it's plenty accurate from what I can tell (quartz watches usually are). The value for money is just off the charts, even Bill Gates wears one and he can afford like...any watch...company, he can afford a whole watch company, he could afford a bunch of watch companies, multiple factories, the people to make them, stores...and yet, he wears one of these....so yeah....The value is there. Anyone who wants to get into diver watches should really look at these, give them a try and see if you like the style. There are also plenty of colors to choose from and lots of NATO straps out there to help complete the look, if that's your thing. Somehow, this piece manages to have it's cake and eat it to, and then go back for seconds. It looks amazing, works very well and yet, is so cheap that you wish you bought another one, just for fun. Other than my design dings, there isn't much to dislike about this watch. Right about now I wish I'd bought a solar model, but that's only so that I'd never have to change a battery. I'm also very surprised by the following that Casio has on Reddit. The Casio subreddit is loaded with people who love their cheap, yet incredibly accurate, amazingly tough and truly capable watches, and now, I'm one of them.

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.

Muy bonito y lo mejor, la calidad de la marca.

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!

Lovely little watch for my daughter, right up until she took it off and lost it.
