Owner Review: Casio Edifice EMA-100

Watch enthusiasm is a hobby that, as observed over my decades of interest, has some peculiarities. For one thing, while we as hobbyists often own boxes full of watches, more than a few of us counterintuitively idealise the “one watch” person; the owner who has worn their (for example) Rolex GMT through thick and thin,…

Owner Review: Casio G-Shock GMWB5000CS-1 Steel “Tron”

The current metal G-Shock line-up stretches to seven model variations now (I think? Could be more), and In terms of design, encasing that classic shape in metal is a pretty ridiculous idea- the whole ethos of G-Shock was to create a tough go anywhere tool watch-but why not hey? The watch world is basically superfluous…

Owner Review: Casio DW-291H – When A G-Shock Is Too Expensive

G-Shock and Casio collectors: this one may have slipped under your radar, but it should definitely ‘ping’ your interest. While many under $30 dollar Casios are a bit small and/or delicate, the new-ish Casio DW-291H series looks built to take a beating, has world time functionality, and great legibility and ergonomics. And with a typical…

Owner Review: Casio F91W – Straight out of Stranger Things

When you look at the Casio F91W it looks like something straight out of “Stranger Things” (which it actually featured in). It oozes more 80s vibes than the gang riding their bikes on the way to play Dungeons & Dragons in Mike’s basement. You really don’t even need to know much about watches to formulate…

Owner Review: Casio G-Shock GA-2100 CasiOak

Who needs a watch to tell the time? That’s why we have phones. From the dive watch enthusiasts who haven’t touched an ocean in their life to the armchair businessmen wearing their dress watches while eating a burrito – watches are often an extension of your personality more than a tool. That’s where the Casio…

Owner Review: Casio World Time AKA Casio Royal Review

Today I present to you the humble yet incredibly well loved Casio AE-1200WH AKA Casio World Time or Casio Royale. This particular timepiece isn’t anything special nor is it trying to be and for that very reason it is priced accordingly. Some people think of it as a ‘Bond Watch‘ as it pays homage to…

Owner Review: Casio G-Shock DW-5600

If you are reading this blog, I think you should know what a G-Shock is and little bit about its history. In short, G-Shock is a creation Kikuo Ibe (and his team of course) in 1983 to have a “Triple 10” – 10 years battery life, 10 bar water resistance, and more importantly survive a…

Owner Review: Casio ADS800WH – A G-Shock that isn’t a G-Shock

I’ll be completely honest with you – I don’t pay much attention to this Casio. It’s not a watch that I take photos of frequently either – in fact, I struggled to find a pic with it on my wrist – that’s why I’ve put a candid shot of me taken by my wife on…

Owner Review: Casio G-Shock GBX100 (2.5 watchmakers edition)

Strange things happen when you drink vast quantities of Wakachangi while recording a podcast with your friends who also happen to be watchmakers. This is how I ended up buying my first digital watch in around 30 years. In a moment of delirium, the three of us decided to get the same watch. It was…

Owner Review: Casio G-Shock DW5600 – The Moonwatch That Could Have Been

For as long as I’ve been into watches, I’ve been into G-Shock. No real collection is complete without one, or in my case about a dozen. When considering purchases of high-end watches it often takes me years before I make a final purchasing decision, with G-Shock, the quality and value they offer make them impulse…
