About this deal

The four buttons along the edge of the watch operate the ani-digi movement. Largely you’ll be using the bottom left button to cycle through the modes. The top left puts the watch into “set” mode for you to adjust the time, timer, or alarm times. The top right-hand button turns on the night light and the bottom right starts features like the stopwatch, timer, etc… It’s a little fiddly when you first get it, but with a little practice you’ll be timing French presses in no time. Camo Strap and Orange Keeper Madness

I sat down with the box and opened it, finding the original box and papers for Casio, as well as the kit for the modification. The modification kit included the case and bracelet for the watch, as well as a set of screwdrivers that you’d need to actually do the modification. Overall, the kit looked to be fairly well made for what it had cost with the tools doing everything they needed without any drama. The watch can sit on the flat of your arm in a very well-balanced manner. Additionally, the point on the case where the straps connect is angled downward giving the strap the perfect opportunity to wrap around and hug your wrist securely. However, these dimensions wears demurely on the Casioak. I have a 7.5” wrist and the case size perfectly proportioned.. It could be a little larger and I wouldn’t mind. A lot of this has to do with the fact that it’s more or less a square-adjacent case. The pictured 5th Gen mod kit is the exact kit you will receive. This is the latest 5th Gen mod kit, which is currently the very best CasiOak Mod kit available. Designing a watch case that is comfortable and elegant to wear is an art and requires high-level technical production processes. This eye-catching bezel responds to the eight hexagonal screws, and the bold and unrestrained shape of the bezel, with sharp edges and corners.I also want to go over a, very, brief history of the Casioak. I’m not going to go into Gerald Genta or talk at length about the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Patek Philippe Nautilus. Those articles are out there and if you’re curious what that’s all about I’d point you in their direction. What I do want to go over is how disruptive this particular analog-digital watch release felt at the time.

As a result, it doesn’t get as much wrist action as it might if the bracelet was more comfortable. Despite that, it’s still a fun piece to have in the collection, and is great to wear from time to time. It’s also a reminder of how far the watch community has come that the industry behind modding can even exist. The fact that collectors from all walks of life are looking to customise some of the watches in their collection is exciting, and speaks to a world on the other side of steel-sports watches hysteria where individual personality is prioritised over being in the cool crowd. PLEASE NOTE: The colours of the watches may appear slightly different in photographs due to variations in camera settings and lighting conditions. We strive to provide accurate representations of our products, but slight colour variations may occur. What also impressed me was the level of detail that had been achieved with the bracelet and case. The bracelet tapered nicely from the case, with each link featuring vertically brushed flat surfaces and faceted edges. Likewise the flat surfaces of the case were vertically brushed, and the sloping sides of the bezel were polished, and the cut out apertures for the four buttons on the case sides. It’s a thing of beauty to look at and to hold, but here’s the catch: it’s not as comfortable as other bracelets that look similar. The heaviness of the steel, combined with the imperfect machining makes it a little unbalanced on the wrist, as well as being liable to enthusiastically relieve you of wrist hair. The way the bracelet is structured also leaves very little room for lateral flexion to accommodate your wrist as you go about your day, which makes it something you are constantly aware of as you wear it.
