    I am very pleased with this watch. The large face is easy for my old(er) eyes to read and it keeps accurate time.
    I don't like the resin straps, so I dropped a few more $$ and put a leather strap on it. Far more comfortable.

    Great watch. Simple and elegant design. Great price. If you only want to have the time and a versatile watch that works well and looks good for any occasion, this is the watch. Nothing fancy on it. It only give the time and date. It does what it is expected. Nothing more. Nothing less. I bought it because I am tired of expensive devices that promise too much and that I end up not using. I don’t need a computer on my wrist. I just need to know the time and this watch does it well without braking the bank. I have also received a lot of compliments on the look. A great classic and reliable watch. I highly recommend it.

    TL,DR: Just get it, you know you want to, and she's a real beauty, ooooh yes! :)

    Thanks to all the other reviewers, company photos help, of course, but personal photos and comments and videos have convinced me progressively and I finally clicked the Buy button when it went on sale :)

    Oh boy, am I happy! She's beautiful, really beee-u-teee-full! A bit big but not too much, a bit of weight but not too much, superb quality, finish is perfect, brushed and reflective parts are perfect, soooonice!

    I'm used to 20-25 years ago standards, when watches for men were smaller, my daily driver is a 35 mm (10 to 4), and about 8 mm thick Wenger. This Casio Marlin is about 44 mmm (10 to 4) and about 12 mm thick and I find it perfectly fine and confortable (all approximate measurements here, with a simple ruler aligned with my eyes, not a caliper, but it gives proportions :))

    Finish is really impressive, and I'm a sucker for minor defaults :) I really love the reflections, subtle and perfectly regularly done, really above its price category. Not a second early or late in weeks, everything's fine. Easy to adjust, easier if you push straight while using the flanges as support to prevent the hand from moving a bit with the "clic"and not being properly aligned: thanks to the reviewer who gave this hint, it works (and I really *need* hands to be perfectly aligned with markers :))

    Original black plastic strap is fine, really, but I just prefer steel bracelet (old habit), so I'm waiting for mine, ordered the same day, but it just moved a bit in China, so it might be a moment before I see it :)

    Watch delivered a day late, and the enveloppe was flat and the box was a bit crushed, not enough to damage the watch, but not good for a present... OK for me... as the present was from me to me! :) For the slight delay, Amazon automatically credited approximately the same amount as the delivery fees, without any action from me, so no complaint here :)

    Really, if you've done your homework, you've seen all the Amazon and YouTube reviews, and you *know* you have to get one... just do it, you won't regret it! Even better if you can catch a promo price :) It's all you've seen and heard, and even a bit more when you open the package, you'll feel the "Ooooh... woooow, yeeeees" inside :) I still feel it every day, as I put it on display where I can glance at her discretely anytime I'm in the sofa (don't tell my girlfriend!)

    Hope this review will help someone, as I've been helped by others :)

    Have a nice day, stay safe.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Casio “duro”
    Reviewed in Italy on February 10, 2019
    Colour Name: Black/SilverVerified Purchase
    Casio duro, o per meglio dire MDV106-1AV è un diver proposto dalla famossissima casa giapponese che tutti noi, almeno una volta, abbiamo sentito rammentare.
    Questo prodotto, come altri della medesima marca sono noti soprattutto per lo strepitoso rapporto tra qualità e prezzo.
    Infatti ad un costo di poco meno di 80 euro è possibile mettere mano su un orologio molto affidabile ma soprattutto molto piacevole alla vista date le linee semplici che richiamano orologio molto più blasonati.
    Questo aspetto rende certamente adatto questo orologio a chi, come noi ragazzi, non vuole spendere molto ma comunque desidera un orologio di grande qualità che non passerà certamente inosservato.
    Dal punto di vista delle caratteristiche tecniche c’è poco da dire, un movimento al quarzo, molto preciso e performante, che offre la complicazione del datario ad ore 3.
    L’impermeabilità è un punto forte dell’orologio, infatti come si può leggere dal quadrante, può resistere, o almeno è progettato per farlo, fino ad una profondità pari a 20 bar o 200 metri anche grazie alla corona a vite che garantisce una minor possibiltà di infiltrazione di liquidi.
    Il tutto costruito con acciaio INOX che assicura, grazie alla presenza del cromo, la formazione di uno strato protettivo molto sottile che protegge il metallo e quindi tutto l’orologio dall'azione dell'ossigeno e degli agenti chimici esterni.
    Le dimensioni sono importanti infatti abbiamo tra le mani un orologio con diametro pari a 44 mm , uno spessore di 12 con una larghezza del cinturino di 20 mm il tutto con un peso di circa 82.
    Altra caratteristica riguarda la chiarezza e leggibilità degli indici e delle sfere sul quadrante attraverso vetro minerale.
    Sempre in relazione alla leggibilità troviamo sfere ed indici ricoperti con materiale fluorescente che permette la visibilità anche in ambienti privi, o parzialmente privi, di fonti di luce.
    La ghiera unidirezionale nera è leggermente dura ma comunque di buona qualità e presenta un indice ad ore 12 fatto anchesso di materiale visibile al buio.
    In dotazione è presenta un cinturino diver in resina di colore nero con fibbia satinata di media qualità ed uno stand per il supporto dell’orologio quando non lo si indossa.
    In conclusione si può affermare che l’oggetto in questione è certamente di ottima qualità se guardiamo il prezzo che lo rende certamente uno dei migliori diver economici di sempre.

    I received this watch on 1-20-2018. I received my first Casio watch on Christmas morning somewhere around 1979. That watch, a simple, black plastic digital one, kept working for about 15 years, on the same battery. This wasn't any great feat in my mind at the time. It was just all I really knew, except for the time when I got an Armitron calculator watch at some point. Not only did the Armitron not last, it also felt like it wouldn't last. The buttons were flimsy, the edges rough, and it had an overall plasticky feel, even though it was gold. My old Casio shined by comparison. My dad got himself the same one as me that Christmas, except in stainless, and anytime it came up in later years, he'd laugh and say something like "David, I think I wore that watch for thirty years and I only replaced the battery once." So that is what Casio is in my mind.

    One time at the office I said to a coworker that Casio was the best watch in the world. Of course he laughed and quickly pointed out that there are FAR better watches. And he was certainly correct, but not for the money.

    I've had a few other Casios in my life. A Forester model which was really cool because of the forest green color and the fact that it was a fishing watch. What "fishing watch" actually meant was that it would tell you the about the ocean tides. Living in New Mexico, this was totally useless, but I still liked the little fish that would appear when the tide was high or something. Another Casio I got was the one with the world time with the atomic clock sensor. This one was a little off. The light stopped working after a while and setting it was a pain. But it's still ticking in my drawer right now after eight or so years and I still wear it here and there.

    But probably not anymore.

    This watch...this watch has me all smiles. I don't really have words to say. I'm not necessarily a "watch guy" in that sense, but I have always had one on my left arm since the age of ten or so. And honestly if it wasn't for Casio, I probably would have skipped wearing one mostly.

    Casio doesn't always hit it out of the park. After all they live and breathe like the rest of us. Maybe that's what makes this one such a beauty.

    I bought a very nice Bulova a couple years back for around $400. I like that watch. I get compliments on it and for good reason. It's solid. It's heavy. They paid very close attention to the design and the finish is beautiful. It feels like a $400 dollar watch or more. It is perfect for wearing to the office. Well, not really. Not since 1-20-2018.

    I don't dive. I have never diven (?) OK I have never dived. But something about a watch that is designed to be SIX HUNDRED FEET UNDER WATER AND STILL WORK gets me interested. There are many watches that can do this and much more, but they are not this watch.

    If I was a Viking, this would be the watch I wore.

    So what can I say? Yes, the date is comically small. I need reading glasses for small print and still can't read the date with them on. I guess most people who have not just come out of a coma should know the date. Touche, Casio.

    Oh and the Lumiglo or whatever is weak and nearly pointless, but at least it's there. I do like to light it up with my phone flashlight and look at it in the closet, however.

    But if I tap the crystal with my fingernail you know, it feels like I am tapping bulletproof glass.

    The bezel has a great click and I actually find myself using it! I use it to time my commute, or to time how long the waiter takes to bring the food out after I order.

    This is the kind of watch that is not going to win you any likes or impress anyone, unless they are a very smart, unselfish engineer type. Maybe. With my Bulova, people have actually wanted to hold it, they have examined it closely and then complimented me on it, gave it back, and then looked at it on my arm as if they may mug me later. This one won't really do that. You are the only one who will ever truly appreciate what this watch is. It's a secret love affair. I like that about it.

    A few things that I will say that I haven't read about it in those other reviews. The band for one thing. It's pretty good. It looks all plasticky and horrible in the pictures, I thought anyway. But in fact it is pliable, if not supple, and rather well proportioned, if not svelte. The clasp is also sort of excellent. It's not cheap. It's like they actually realized that the clasp is just as important as the other parts. It's like some executive with Casio said "The clasp is the most important part of any watch. It's what keeps it on. Make it beefy." Yep. That's exactly what happened. It is well made, with a soft, rounded finish, and it makes a nice clink sound when you are putting it on.

    There's really nothing more to say.

    Except when I look at this watch to see what time it is, I know the time within .003 seconds of my eyes seeing the face. It's just so clear. And functional. And simple. I never really thought about that with any other watch, and I love it.

    So I'll stop now, but expect an update when this watch becomes less of what it is now, or in the year 2040, whichever comes first.

    ***UPDATE*** April 27, 2021

    The watch has become slightly less of what it was then, but not really. Let me explain. This thing has lived on my arm most days since I bought it. That's about 1,200 days. Before you ask, I do not take the watch into water. No showering with it, no swimming with it. I don't sleep with it, but I do remodel homes here and there and other sweaty messy things too and it gets dirty sometimes.

    Anyways, my first tiny little bummer happened last June, though it was so tiny I did not do an update. The bummer was that the battery died. Bummer. So I took the watch in to some random fancy jewelry store I found on Google maps, and they replaced the battery. I waited five days for the job to be completed and it cost twenty bucks. I got the watch back and all was well. Then about four months later it died again. This time slightly more furious, I went to a little jewelry store I happened to be driving past and this guy took it apart, checked the battery, which he said was perfect, cleaned it really well and said it was probably just dirty inside. I suspected shoddy workmanship and/or a lack of attention to detail on behalf of the fancy place. So I was on my way with a clean, healthy watch. The guy didn't charge a dime and did this on the spot and it took five minutes. He was a pro.

    The watch actually seems to keep even more perfect time since that happened. Seriously.

    And then the other day the band broke while putting it on. (See pictures)

    I just ordered a genuine replacement band from Casio, and I noticed in the pictures that the replacement says Casio JAPAN on it, while my original one says CHINA. (See pictures) So I have high hopes for the new one.

    Other than these two things, the watch has been stellar.

    So what can I say? Yes, the date is comically small. I need reading glasses for small print and still can't read the date with them on. I guess most people who have not just come out of a coma should know the date. Touche, Casio.

    Oh and the Lumiglo or whatever is weak and nearly pointless, but at least it's there. I do like to light it up with my phone flashlight and look at it in the closet, however.

    But if I tap the crystal with my fingernail you know, it feels like I am tapping bulletproof glass.

    The bezel has a great click and I actually find myself using it! I use it to time my commute, or to time how long the waiter takes to bring the food out after I order.

    This is the kind of watch that is not going to win you any likes or impress anyone, unless they are a very smart, unselfish engineer type. Maybe. With my Bulova, people have actually wanted to hold it, they have examined it closely and then complimented me on it, gave it back, and then looked at it on my arm as if they may mug me later. This one won't really do that. You are the only one who will ever truly appreciate what this watch is. It's a secret love affair. I like that about it.

    A few things that I will say that I haven't read about it in those other reviews. The band for one thing. It's pretty good. It looks all plasticky and horrible in the pictures, I thought anyway. But in fact it is pliable, if not supple, and rather well proportioned, if not svelte. The clasp is also sort of excellent. It's not cheap. It's like they actually realized that the clasp is just as important as the other parts. It's like some executive with Casio said "The clasp is the most important part of any watch. It's what keeps it on. Make it beefy." Yep. That's exactly what happened. It is well made, with a soft, rounded finish, and it makes a nice clink sound when you are putting it on.

    There's really nothing more to say.

    Except when I look at this watch to see what time it is, I know the time within .003 seconds of my eyes seeing the face. It's just so clear. And functional. And simple. I never really thought about that with any other watch, and I love it.

    So I'll stop now, but expect an update when this watch becomes less of what it is now, or in the year 2040, whichever comes first.

    ***UPDATE*** April 27, 2021

    The watch has become slightly less of what it was then, but not really. Let me explain. This thing has lived on my arm most days since I bought it. That's about 1,200 days. Before you ask, I do not take the watch into water. No showering with it, no swimming with it. I don't sleep with it, but I do remodel homes here and there and other sweaty messy things too and it gets dirty sometimes.

    Anyways, my first tiny little bummer happened last June, though it was so tiny I did not do an update. The bummer was that the battery died. Bummer. So I took the watch in to some random fancy jewelry store I found on Google maps, and they replaced the battery. I waited five days for the job to be completed and it cost twenty bucks. I got the watch back and all was well. Then about four months later it died again. This time slightly more furious, I went to a little jewelry store I happened to be driving past and this guy took it apart, checked the battery, which he said was perfect, cleaned it really well and said it was probably just dirty inside. I suspected shoddy workmanship and/or a lack of attention to detail on behalf of the fancy place. So I was on my way with a clean, healthy watch. The guy didn't charge a dime and did this on the spot and it took five minutes. He was a pro.

    The watch actually seems to keep even more perfect time since that happened. Seriously.

    And then the other day the band broke while putting it on. (See pictures)

    I just ordered a genuine replacement band from Casio, and I noticed in the pictures that the replacement says Casio JAPAN on it, while my original one says CHINA. (See pictures) So I have high hopes for the new one.

    Other than these two things, the watch has been stellar.

    Hurra, doch noch eine klassische Casio Duro 6 MDV106-1A mit dem Marlin Symbol ergattert!

    Gleich vorab: viel mehr Uhr kann man fürs Geld kaum bekommen!

    Positiv:

    + klassische Optik wie alle die schönen teuren Uhren der Luxusuhren Hersteller (Stichwort "Rolex Pepsi")
    + eine richtige Taucheruhr bis 200m (auch wenn das kaum einer braucht)
    + für alle normalen Einsätze am See oder im Schwimmbad komplett wasserdicht
    + die Krone ist verschraubt, ein Beweis für die Wasserdichtigkeit
    + für den Preis ist Quarz natürlich vollkommen in Ordnung und unkompliziert
    + vollwertige nur nach links drehbare Lünette, und das mit toller Haptik
    + mit 44 mm Gehäuse schon recht mächtig, mir taugt sie in der Größe
    + drei schöne Farbenkombinationen, für jeden was dabei, hier eine in schlichtem Schwarz
    + wertiges Edelstahlgehäuse
    + praktisches Kunststoff Armband, wirklich sehr bequem zu tragen
    + gibt auch Versionen mit Stahlband
    + hier immer noch etwas unter dem UVP der Nachfolgeversion MDV-107 von 79,90€
    + ein sehr fairer Preis
    + und ja, es ist noch einer 6er Version mit dem "Marlin" Symbol
    + einfach toll für die Uhrensammlung

    Neutral:

    o Datum könnte etwas größer sein, aber mit einer Lupe wäre die Optik zu sehr "bekannt"
    o Leuchtmasse könnte etwas besser funktionieren

    Negativ:

    - keine Unisex Uhr, fast alle Frauen würden sie als zu groß empfinden

    Klarer kann eine Kaufempfehlung kaum ausfallen, sehr viel Uhr fürs Geld.
    Ganz klare 5 Sterne!
