A red-painted arrow second-hand adds a pop of color to an otherwise monochromatic watch and adds some visual interest. It also makes pairing this watch with a red strap, or with red accents, even more appealing. Included Rubber Strap Don’t get the lume comments in this review. I wear my Duro to bed, hit the hay at 10:00, can easily see the time in a dark bedroom. Wake up at various points in the night, still perfectly readable to tell time. What do you want out of lume? Reply If you’ve been searching for an affordable dive watch you’ve almost certainly come across the Casio MDV106. I wonder about the reason for this decision. The guys at hodinky-365.com assume CASIO ran out of licenses to use the logo. Hmm, I doubt that’s a problem for such a giant, although CASIO might not consider having a marlin on display as something essential.

It is a great pleasure to see the continuation of watch development in the model range of simple but excellent products under the MDV name. The MDV-107 series can hardly be called a new product because it is, in fact, a copy of the famous Duro Marlin MDV-106, but with minimal differences. The movement itself is extremely accurate like many quartz movements are. They’re almost always more accurate than their mechanical watch counterparts, and they have the added benefit of not having to constantly be wound like you would a mechanical watch. Many will complain about pairing a leather strap with a dive watch, because a leather strap is not waterproof, and thus, people find that to be a bit unconventional on a diver. The contrast of brushed surfaces on top of the case and lugs against the polished sides gives the watch a good visual appeal, however, neither the brushing nor polishing are done amazingly well… Then again, watches at this price point rarely ever are. The good news is, that since the MDV106 is so affordable, you might have some cash leftover to throw at a few extra straps. I’ll give you a few personal suggestions later in the article. Mineral CrystalThe rubber strap included with the Duro is nothing to write home about. It’s certainly wearable, and waterproof, but isn’t all that comfortable to wear for long periods of time, especially in warmer weather. Technical amendments and errors excepted. The sizes in figures do not correspond to the original sizes. They’re waterproof, and typically all brushed, hiding scratches very well. With a sports watch like the MDV106, you might wear it doing any number of physical activities, so having that extra bit of scratch resistance is always a good thing. Bill Gates’ Watch Bevels and chamfers reflect light and add a bit of bling, and when done well, can make a watch appear a bit more expensive than it is, as long as they don’t go overboard.

It fits perfectly with Bill’s understated sense of fashion that isn’t too flashy, nor expensive. That’s why a simple and affordable quartz watch like the Duro is perfect for him. Is the Casio MDV106 ISO Certified? While there are very few alternatives for a dive watch with 200m water resistance at this price range, if you do expand your budget, there are quite a few amazing dive watches to be had. At the 3:00 position, you’ll find a subtle date wheel framed in white that doesn’t distract from the rest of the dial. I like that they didn’t go overboard with the date wheel, but I do like that they included it to add a bit more functionality for everyday wear. While they’re a bit pricier than the MDV106, they also have an automatic mechanical movement instead of quartz, so it runs purely on motion and energy, instead of a battery.Once a millionaire/billionaire makes a public appearance wearing his favorite watch piece, it immediately becomes legendary. Bill probably has other watches in his collection, but if you have a love for CASIO, you have it forever. Microsoft’s creator hints that simple, reliable watches are still in business, despite the abundance of technology in the industry. It’s more of a message to critics who believe that simple watches have been outdated and have no right to exist. Judging by the popularity of vintage CASIO representatives, CASIO simple watches will continue to be in business for a long time. While it’s not built quite as well as the previously mentioned Orient Kamasu, or Seiko SKX,, it still has an automatic movement and a 200-meter water resistance rating, and is only marginally more expensive than the Casio MDV106. The rustproof watch case is made of solid stainless steel and offers a valuable and robust quality.

Overall the dial is perfect and simple enough to tell the time easily, while still being interesting enough to look at for even a collector like myself who has a half-dozen other dive watches in his collection. Hands If you want to keep it REALLY affordable, the Invicta Pro Diver is simply one of the cheapest automatic dive watches you can get. The larger dimensions and 44mm diameter might be a turn off for some, but others might prefer the chunkiness. The Casio MDV106 is an extremely simple and clean design, with a monochromatic color scheme. This makes it perfect for pairing with just about any watch strap of your choosing. The mineral crystal on the MDV106 certainly isn’t as scratch-resistant as a sapphire crystal would be.The watch is 20ATM. This means the watch is suitable for diving. The watch comes with 2 Year Warranty. Since I spend most of my time behind a desk, and NOT diving or swimming, that doesn’t bother me one bit. The cool points of a leather strap are well worth it. Bring on the flame, watch nerds! It also has an impressive rebranded automatic Seiko movement ( NH35A), which are known for its quality and durability. Casio MDV106B What I can’t help mentioning is the presence of a second hand. It makes the spectacle more impressive. The watch is very pleasing to the eye, fits nicely on the wrist, is a bit heavy, but very comfortable. It will work for 3 years with the original battery.

Whichever strap you choose, just be sure to get one with a 22mm width, as that’s the lug width of the MDV. It does have one safety benefit over sapphire, however, as a mineral crystal will not break and shatter like the glass of a sapphire crystal might, if under extreme stress, making it less dangerous in the case of a breakage The movement is a Japanese quartz movement that runs on an SR626 battery, with a battery life of 2-3 years. It also makes it extremely easy to find your watch, should it fall off in the water when swimming, for whatever reason. Just be careful that a fish doesn’t mistake it for food. No, the Casio MDV106 is not ISO certified. With that said, its 200-meter water-resistance rating will make it more than suitable for all but professional divers. How do I Adjust my Casio MDV106?It has markings in increments of 5, and 10, as well as a lume pip that, once charged up, illuminates in the dark, helping with orientation. At some point (who knows when?) supply of the current MDV-106 models will presumably become scarce and then dry up completely. While slightly irrational perhaps, I think the loss of the marlin logo really hurts the dial. That "WR 200M" text looks suuuuuuuper budget, sitting there all alone. Perfect for free diving without scuba gear: the watch is water resistant up to 20 bar according to ISO 22810. Want to make your MDV106 look a bit more vintage? Want to piss off some watch nerds? Then put a leather strap on your dive watch, and post a picture on a watch forum.
