    I had two of those when I was a kid at school (I lost the first one). I always felt this watch was unfairly overlooked. Then many years later when studying for my accounting exams I bought one purely as I knew how it functioned and was reliable. But many years later I still have it! There are many things that will let you down in life but a Casio W-86 ain't one of them.

    I wear this watch most days. It's elbow deep in buttermilk and hot sudsy water every week in my part time deli job and out in the Irish sea most weekends, even out at night when going for a stealthier look. I absolutely LOVE it and I'm so happy to see it get it's shine. I have just bought one to keep on ice as Argos is closing in Ireland. Cannot recommend it more.

    Ordered it before the video finished. My son bought me a casio cheepy and I love it. But this is better. I can't wait. When he was a kid we watched over and again Planes trains and automobiles. And Del tried to pay for a hotel with "a CASIO" and the guy declined. If only he knew how much that is worth today!!!!

    I've read or seen somewhere that the switch, though I'm sure the costs savings are welcomed by Casio, is that EL tends to fail at around the 20 year or so mark while the LED lamp will last indefinitely. Proof of this is could be that LEDs are making their way into more expensive Casios, even G Shocks. As to the watch, though I do like the concept, this style of Casio is just too small for me. Regardless, I watches as you always put on a great show.

    I have to agree... apart from the shell suite bit, I was never a fashion person, that explains why I have no mates then. I do however have the Illuminator, my second one, I'm not sure where my original one went that I got in the 90's, maybe the strap broke and I didn't find a replacement that would cost more than the watch. The display does not have the contrast of my F91W but at least you can read it at night. I may be wrong (probably) but this has been a lone electro luminescence on a budget for quite a while now so it might have already been stopped. Keep up the great work Russel.

    I had a very swell Asics tracksuit with violet and neon green accents. My mom probably burned it...

    Very nice! Russell, you’re CasiO-K in my book! Wonderful stuff as always. I scooped one of these up! You should do a retro square watch comparo. You’d be the perfect creator for that job!!

    All the cheap ones are sold out now, they’re going for about 2 to 3 times the price in the US. Got one from coming from UK for $24 shipped. Would love to see you do a review on the W737H at some point, the W737hx-5av variant has an extra long strap for the 7.5 wrist guys (Me).I got both Coyote and Black version, cuz why not… $21 @ Walmart in the states, hard to beat updated looking square with a dedicated light button. My new favorite beater for now.
