Turning a CASIO into a SPEC MONSTER

- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2024
- If only we could find a Casio watch that was made with solid stainless steel, featured a sapphire crystal and had a swimmable 100m of water resistance... Well, although Casio doesn't make one themselves, we can build our own! These kits are perfect for the popular A168 and F-105W models.

I'd love to see a mod for the W800 series
This is great! I love Casios, I got one for Christmas in 1979.....I know I'm old!
I got into modding them in the last 6 months or so, mainly colour gel filters, negative display filters and different straps.
SKX MODS have done some great kits for the AE-1200 and AE-1300 so I'm really pleased they've branched out to other models.
I know they can't do it but I just wish you could still have Casio on the face!
Great job Kieron and brilliant video as always. Cheers 👍
Yeppp. That would be the best combo. Maybe there's one Casio model that has a faceplate that can be removed? It would certainly bring the Steel one to life with all of that classic Casio text. Still great looking, but a shame about the displays.
1979.... Sorry Rik, that's 17 years before I was born 🤣 old git. Hope you're well mate
@@TopTierTicker Bloody kids today eh!! 😂
I think I've seen videos of casio face plate removal. It's tricky because you have to heat it up to soften the glue and press it out. If you search casio clean face mod you'll find it. Cheers mate 👍
Great video. Love the idea of the mod kits, never thought of them before. Loving the channel. Keep up the great work.
Glad you like them! Appreciate you watching bud 🙏
Can't praise the SKXMOD kits enough they so good and a great gateway into watch modding!
Exactly that. The Royale kits gave me confidence to start playing around a bit more with watches too. Especially at taking vintage watches apart and giving them a but of a clean!
Very interesting watch kits.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching
The Casio W-217 or B-650 would be the ideal case to upgrade. Many options available and the perfect size!
Skx have such great mods....love their work!
Very cool, thanks. I do however love the original look 😊
what about the g shock casio nasa mod with full lume bracelet
Cool mod! Came out very nice!
Thanks mate. Hope you're well 🙏 appreciate you watching as always
@@TopTierTicker My pleasure man! Hope you are doing well too bud! Take care and have a great week!
I’m on the fence on whether I truly need this. I already love my casios a ton, and even though I’m wearing them at work they still show very little wear. I’m probably gonna pull the trigger at some point, but if they were to release an updated clasp with toolless micro adjust at some point it’d really make the case for me.
I can get how this is a big 'on the fence' product. With it being 3x more than the actual watch (for the case alone that is). Only you can truly know it's value. If you'll beat it up everyday and get your moneys worth, absolutely. I don't think it's something to sit around in a watch box though. Standard Casio does that fine enough!
I’d get it just to do the modifications!
Exactly, that's the fun bit 😁
Small correction: not the ultimate Casio, maybe an ultimate affordable digital watch, but not Casio. If you change everything but the movement, it's no longer a Casio. Just like those Pagani Design watches-they have a Seiko movement in them, and some of them copy the Seiko look. But that doesn't make them Seiko, nor does this qualify as any kind of Casio.
I think most can appreciate what these cases offer without needing to define them. Modding of course takes away that 100% authenticity, but a lot don't care about that with cheap watches. They'll just buy a spare.
Most buy these for the fun of the creation. Putting something together like this is satisfying and does indeed transform a standard Casio into a beast! 💪
No,if you keep the movement it remains objectively a Casio.😂😂😂😂
The movement IS the watch,not the case
😎CooL👌
😎😎😎 Appreciate you watching!
Thanks for bringing this mod kit to our attention, Kieron. Those Casios indeed look great. However, I find it interesting that reviewers (not you per se, but reviewers generally) HATE the Tissot PRX digital watches but praise these modified Casios. The digital PRXs offer a similar, if not better, look and quality.
Quality, probably so. Maybe not the butterfly clasp but that's that.
Looks wise, I thinks it's an ugly beast (digital PRX that is). I don't think the display looks good in that case.
But also you have to consider that these kits are good fun. Building your own watch isn't something you get to do often 😁
Agree!
Prx digital are ugly!
Display doesn't compliment the case.... it's just not meant to be...
Complete failure in my opinion.
Regular Prx on the other hand are gorgeous!! 😍
That PRX digital would put a gargoyle off it's breakfast,it's a total eyesore
Not a fan of the stealth look. I have enough trouble reading the regular display. Funny thing every 12 months or so i get another year older.😂
Love everything about it, except that it won’t retain my branding :(
3:28 They're not free of charge. They dial the cost into the price.
Well, yeah. That's what every business does with something free. Point is, there's no additional cost per which one you choose. It comes with the case at no additional cost.
You can find a metal gshock square for 200 second hand,
Correct
Why not buy a higher grade Casio watch? These seem to cost G Shock amounts.
These mods really sterilize the watches. Theres a ton of charm in all of the text on the OEM Casio dials.
Agreed! Unfortunately, Casio prints all of that text against the resin crystal 😢
You can get that text with an Ae-1200/1300 mod though. As those faceplates actually come out
Disagree,I think it makes it look more refined,grown up, versatile and far less cheap and childish
@@deanwaller8283 I can also see that views too! That's an interesting one.
Perhaps I'm unusual, but I don't really value my arm hairs.
i wanted to get into modding but too scared to do so…. maybe this can get me started….😊
Whats the point of these if casios already have higher end steel models???
They don't, that's the point. There's a few steel models available, but they definitely don't have sapphire crystals. And there no where near as much choice.
Something like this is done for the fun of it, and to get a great watch at the end 🙏
@@TopTierTicker respectable. However, in terms of stainless steel models, there's the a1000 range, the a1100 range, and a huge plethora of analog models with stainless steel cases. While you are correct in saying these don't have sapphire crystals, they are cheaper and come with Casio assembling them securely. I certainly enjoy watch modding, but I feel as though a Royale kit or metal Casioak kit makes much more sense than this one. Just my opinion.
What people complaining about the cost are missing here is this,you are getting,for less thay £200 a classic digital watch that will absolutely and without question last you for the rest of your life AND be a generational watch,they dont break amd of it did?theyll make this watch forever,the modules will be available no matter what.
I absolutely think this a STEAL!!!
I can't wait that chinese copy this and offer it for a fraction of a price. It's pretty greedy to ask 150€ for a kit to modify a watch that cost like a few €. And they know that they are greedy because every watch youtuber is making advertisement for them!!!
You genuinely think that the price of this is greedy? Do you have any idea how much custom parts cost to make? On top of that, materials, staff costs and dare they make a profit!? The spec sheet that these kits offer are just as good as any AliExpress watch too.
This comment is clearly just an agenda against watch reviewers or me specifically. Either way, it's incredibly uneducated.
@@TopTierTicker Men, you will have to learn to take criticism a bit better!!!! These things are extremely overpriced and whoever says it's not true is extremely uneducated and frankly quite NAIVE. But i guess you have to praise something if it's in your best interest. If you step on a cat's tail, it screams i guess. Very, very childish reaction from you, but i guess being courteous only works when people agree with you!
Again, huge misjudgement by you. My reply was respectful and rational. Especially when someone is talking as much nonsense as yourself.
@@TopTierTickercalling people you don't know uneducated is a pretty good strategy for you tube business i'm sure😂😂😂Especially since my argument is straight on point and you can not disprove it whatsoever. It's actually pretty irational amount to spend on upgrading a cheap watch. But you can't say that if you get free stuff from them, can't you???!
It's impossible to disprove something that's subjective. You believe it to be bad value, I believe you to be wrong.
Couldn't care less about saying good things to maintain relationships. Did you not watch my San Martin review? I say what I feel.
Your first comment was uneducated, production is expensive. You shouldn't take that personally, it's just my opinion.
Cheap plastic crap
