"How much did you pay? I hope that was in Yen." Definitely, one of my favorite quotes from your wife 😂
"Please tell me that was in yen " epic 😂
You are so far down the Casio rabbit hole we all knew you would love it
I really really wanted the wife’s thoughts to be “looks like a PRX”
😜
“looks like a PRX that you don't like”
I think I'll wait for the SKMEI version.
The little hand hello always makes me smile / laugh! … 😂 ✋
Your content is pure gold!
Just got mine 2 days ago and absolutely agree with every point you mentioned. Very glad I pre ordered one. Enjoy it!
Weirdly, after collecting Casio & Gshocks for years, I've just purchased my first AE1200 Royale. I love it. Not so sure about this one, though, but appreciate that it's a part of watch making "history" I do agree with you that for the price tag Sapphire and 100 meters would be more appropriate. Great review, as always !!!
Good choice on the AE-1200, I'm wearing my one with the bracelet. Yes I agree with you about the sapphire and 100m, then it would be just right.
I can’t believe how fast you got this one in the post MWC! Casio don’t mess about!
I love the look of the Casiotron but that price is way too spicy for me to think about. I’ve got my A171 to scratch the Casiotron itch for me but for someone who loves Casio and has the money in their watch piggybank then there’s loads to love here!
Great show as ever MWC 👏👏👏👏
Congrats on getting one of these Russ! When I saw this watch was being offered I thought of you and how I knew you'd want one. I think it is very iconic and I'm glad your wife liked it!
This watch screams RETRO.
Not for me, but I'm happy you like it! 😀
“… they’ve only made 4000 of the buggers!” Brilliant. Classic Russ!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
All sold.
So beautiful the Casiotron reissue. Sadly is a limited edition. Damn Casio should release more on a affordable price.
Your wife's really nailed this time.
"I hope that was in Yen"😂😂
I have plenty of Casio watches but I’m not too thrilled about this one. Glad you like it though. Have a great afternoon! 🙏🏼
Been really loving this channel. Your filmography skills are up there, the gradient color filter you use is excellent the colors pop.
Thank you my friend!!!
I totally missed the 10am release because I was at work 😢. But happy to live the ownership vicariously through you Russ. Great review as usual 😊
They are still on the Mexico site.
4,000 sold out in 11 minutes
Another fantastic MAD video 😊
I picked up a Casio ACL-200 in new old stock condition and it’s very cool and interesting looking with an auto light
And wondered if you have or had one as I know nothing about this model as I’ve never seen one until now
Instant classic ... And great review! Thanks!
Love the side by side comparison. This way I can really judge the size of the digits compared to other models, which is great for online purchases (not that this watch is still available, but the others are in their non-limited variations)
I love the historical value of this watch, that's pretty much it though. Happy for you!
Love the energy of your shows..excellent morale boosters 🙌
Thanks John!!! Appreciate that a lot!!!!
Great video and love the passion!! Would have been nice if it was sapphire. I get it, limited anniversary edition driving the price up, but even if they changed another $50 for sapphire would be worth it.
Awesome Russ, another brilliant video review pal
Looks great but I couldn't justify the price of admission even if I could get hold of one. Shall make do with my black A171 (with the hair friendly mesh strap) for Casio roundness.
Glad you're happy with your purchase.
I'm a big fan of Casio for decades and getting bigger (possibly due to the new restaurant at work) and I do like this watch. Yes it's expensive for what it is and yes it has a mineral glass but the temptation is well, extremely tempting. I remember when I was 'thinking' about the black Titanium square with the positive display and tried to ignore it........... it didn't work and I bought one at retail before it was gone. Do I regret it? My wallet did but I don't and I still wear it. We shall have to see as I really can't justify this new Casiotron at all, no really, well maybe just a little...... Thanks for sharing.
I wasn’t expecting to like it but the radial finishing and the texture behind the Casiotron logo got me - still wish more surfaces were brushed and that it had a greater over water resistance but definitely not like Tissot’s cash-grab at all.
“Hope that was in Yen” had me rolling.
You took the words out of my mouth - Would love to see a budget version of this watch!
What a cool Casio overall though! 😎👌
There's a non solar vintage model with similar style in the range already. A lot cheaper.
Interesting, @@Televisiontechnology!
Which model is this?
I was hoping for this same, very capable module with the Solar and Bluetooth as well 🤩
A171WE-1A for the round one (battery powered but under 1/10th of the price of the new limited one) - or if you want the cheapest model with solar/multiband etc - then the M5610u@@goatreviews
The best review of the TRN50, epic, you nailed the positives and negatives. I just don’t see the need for BT and yes they should be making this so anybody can buy one….at a lower price!
I'm glad that you find this Watch Amazing dude.
Couldn't agree more, let's not ever mention the PRX again ! Glad you love it Russ, not for me but I'm very jealous of your DW 5040! 😊
I picked up the DW5040 recently and it is now one of my favorite watches in my collection. I cannot stop looking at it. If you are thinking about getting one...go for it!!!
@@cussytootussyout of curiosity, how is it different to looking at another square?
@@roodersclive8654 The gold sunburst display is like nothing else. It is mesmerizing. I can't stop looking at it. The brick motif is also fantastic. The fact it also has the electroluminescent backlight makes it very unique. There are others that have the stainless steel case and caseback but none have that display, brick motif and EL backlight. Oh that gold sunburst display!
Great review! We have similar taste in fine timepieces.
This is 100% one of those sort of watches that is driven by social media but quickly gets lost and forgot about once the next new shiny thing comes along. That is, right now we'll see plenty of scalping and horse trading, but in a year there will be hundreds of them sitting around on eBay for MSRP'ish prices and nobody will want one.
Your videos are super ! And I want the T-Shirt of the F-91W !
This was made available yesterday in the Canadian market and is still available. Surprised as it sold so fast in the UK market.
Great video, I like the finishing on this watch, but they could use sapphire for the price. I like my full metal g-shock GMW-B5000D-1ER, the bracelet is easier to adjust with the sprinbars. Last month I bought the GWG 1000 - 1A3ER first generation mudmaster for only 300 euro. I like casio watches but I'm not a collector, I use my g-shocks at work and the full metal g-shock is all about scratches. So this casiotron is not for me.
The answer to "why no sapphire" is "because these are selling at lightspeed anyway", but I sure wish it had a sapphire crystal.
Great show Russ!
What a coincidence!! I just bought an original vintage Casiotron (red ring around dial) from local online sales (for around $20 price) . Now on the way.
the BT function is godsend for those outside the MB6 range. btw, if ever Casio release it again, i won't miss it!
Even a compliment from the Mrs. That's a keeper!
I'm starting to become a Casio nut these days.
$999 here in Australia. Sold out on the Casio site. Oh, and funny video again mate 😂
That sounds a huge price in Ozzy dollars!!!!
1st been looking forward to this one 😊
In the clip where you fire the little gun, what does the sign say behind your head? I try and read it every video I watch, but can never quite make it out. And I'm losing sleep over it.
What a piece!!! Congrats for get one of them! Only Casio Nerds understand your feelings!
I think I would try carefully cutting out some silver vinyl rap and putting it inside an A1700, before I would spend that kind of coin on digital watch, with a rather small display.
Secondary comment. I have a solar Bluetooth full metal CasiOak, and live in Australia where we don’t get multiband 6, so using the Bluetooth to keep my time synced is a must.
Is it a GMB2100?
@@tonychen3368yes it is. Paid about $650AUD
Good stuff my friend however with the module in that one I doubt it would lose 15 seconds a month anyway!!!
No, no, no and no! If you told me it was £100-200, I'd get my head around it, but not at that price. Obviously we all knew you'd buy it, love it and keep it mate. It's much, much better than the PRX - so that's something, isn't it?
Lol buddy the Bluetooth is a horrible, useless feature. That really shouldn't be losing more than a second a month. My f84w actually hasn't lost a second in a year❤
I love that the bracelet, though well-made, is still jangly like a normal casio. I love this watch.
The beautiful case and details make me wish i had one, but the price was not right. I love the fluted chapter ring and geneva stripes
Hilarious price ! 🤣 defo one for the Casio addict Russ!, ..curiously though I wonder how high Casio could have gone with this?, I'm thinking you would have still bought it for a grand?
Worth noting that the original Casiotron you showed in 1:06 is actually not the original version that this new re-issue is based on. That's the second generation with "liquid crystal" written on the dial. Whereas the original released version looks very close to the re-issue (similar dial colour)
Day when Russell uploads video becomes 200% better!
The PRX digital is my favorite watch in ages. It’s the best digital watch I’ve ever owned and it gets 10x more wrist time than my full metal square.
It looks good, but i really don't understand why screwed links in the bracelet are in any way better than pin and collar.
Pin and collar is used by Seiko, Citizen and Casio in a whole load of bracelets, it can be adjusted with a set of pliers and a paperclip.
Screws need a thicker link and sometimes locktite to keep the screw in. I never needed that for a pin and collar link, and i never lost any pin.
The Casiotron's price was too high for my liking, so I bought a A171 for under £30 😁
Now i know what i got some years ago on the fleamarket for small money!🤗🤗
My dad inherited me the original one, and that one I never wear. I love it as a keepsake, but somehow I always find better watches to wear. Maybe not my cup of tea, but I found an F91 display much more pleasing with a form factor that's much less blingy.
Because of your enthusiasm for Casio and because you are the Mad watch collector I think you had to get this watch if for no other reason than principle.
I think it's a stunning watch and excellent review.
I’m happy with “Common people’s Casiotron” - A171 which looks as elegant as a Casiotron in the videos !!
0:05 Ta, ta-rá, ta-rá…
Tá-ta-ra!!
Ta, ta-rá, ta-rá…
Tá-ta-ra!!
Love that song!!!
Looks great, sapphire glass and 100 m would be
Finally, a full featured, full metal digital Casio that is not a G-Shock. Sure, $500 is a bit high, but as they only make 4000 of them, Casio will barely recover the cost of development and tooling for a new case, a new bracelet, and a new module. I doubt they make a profit on this one.
Casio produces bracelets like these in their Oceanus line, the titanium one on my OCE-T4000 is the most comfortable bracelet I own. I do like Casio’s Bluetooth implementation, it stays out of the way but keeps your clock synchronized and all the time zones you set on your watch corrected for daylight saving time. Multiband 6 is clever, but I have to put the watch in a window to get a reliable signal, and with Bluetooth it syncs on my nightstand.
I've seen two reviews of these, both also have GMW-B5000's, and both said the caseback might not be solid steel because of the MB6...which is not the case. The GMW-B5000's have solid casebacks and MB6. It's just a visual design choice.
Nice review but the 50 m wr, limited edition and the fact that the price is too high it’s not worth it.
the Casiotron has a far better dial than the digital PRX
Casio i cant have😢 it looks so good😍
Good review! Enjoy it. I considered it, but while I was debating the price, I missed my chance. Just as well. I really think it is about $200 too much. I could see paying $300 for one, but not $500. Here is a funny coincidence, when I showed it to my wife, she told me it was $200 overpriced, so we agree on that! 😝
The budget Casio is more attractive than the limited edition.
I bought it. Here in Australia it sold out in a few hours. I must have for any Casio fan boy.
Such a swizz that they didn’t fit a sapphire crystal to it. But it looks great though!
I absolutely love it, if only I had the cash, that would make my Casio watch collection increase by one million percent.
Lol, you really are the mad casio watch collector.
Looks really good on your wrist.
For casio enthusiasts only me thinks.
very nice Russel..
Not today casiotron not today.
Does it have bluetooth? I saw bluetooth logo on the back! Such a retro looking watch but with bluetooth technology I am Suprised.
I like it
Now has to wait for sale 😀
A classic review by the wife 😂👍
I love CASIO-watches. I own quite a lot of them. I think the CASHIOTRON looks amazing, but I don't see it justifying its price tag. When it comes down to anniversaries CASHIO seems to often to just cash out on limited editions.
I've been waiting this video since Casiotron drop
That's got to be well over £1M clear profit. Not bad for a production run of 4000!
I like it but I have already had 4 watches for my birthday which was on the day you recorded the video but it will not be long before Christmas is here
50m WR and mineral. But, it's got brilliant asset value accretion opportunidy. So it's awesome!
For what it is, I genuinely think it’s worth the money. The only thing I don’t like is all the polished surfaces. Thanks for showing it to us!
I don't agree. Especially when you compare it to other Casio watches. My GMW B5000d can do everything this can and it 200m water resistant I paid about half of the Casiotron for it.
@@HJ-vs7lf I definitely don’t disagree with that. But for me, in this case, the rarity and the specialness commands the added price. Not just the specs.
Hope they make it a regular catalog after seeing the hype . And slightly cheaper.
Thanks
I love that watch and sadly will never have one.
This watch is so beautiful 👌
wow. beautiful!
Shit man, it’s perfect! I could live with 50m WR but they should slap saphire on it. Money well spent IMO! Wear it well!
Where can i buy the Casio Corner Tshirt
Nice watch Russ, but after finding out the price myself, I’m surprised your not sleeping on the sofa…😂
The price is fair for a limited edition collector. For the features, obviously not. If they made a similar watch at a non-collector price point, they might have a winner because it is refreshingly retro.
At first I thought “what kind of person would spend $500 on this watch”. Then 5 minutes later I offered one. 😁
I want one, but won't pay over retail. We'll see how the prices pan out I guess.
Like the case definitely premium but the LCD screen is disappointing.
Wish they did a better job, there’s certainly a lot of dead space on the sides perhaps a round or angled screen.
Why didn't they make 50,000 for people around the world...get the price down..and spread the love... Remake one of their melody watches that's what ,ll take us back in history...
I was annoyed that I didn't get this but after seeing this I feel better about it nothing against it but I want the simpleness of the og I am glad I went on ebay and got the original for cheaper but also I love the new one and totally understand people that want one its not for me but I do love it
I gave in and bought a "bigger small" Casio, the W800 . Opened the box and decided it would only be big on a small hobbit
.. at least it was cheap. Back to GShock for me.
“Please tell me that was in Yen”. 😂😂😂
Another fantastic watch and another fantastic wife reaction❤😂
she's definitely a beauty!😍😍😍
