Casio Cheapy

Am I right in thinking that this is the modern version of the original G-Shock? Regardless of that, €45 delivered for a 'proper' G-Shock seems like great value. Seller is based in the states so you may/may not be caught for customs. I've ordered twice from him and haven't paid anything extra yet.

I know it's very cheap, so it may not be fair to be too critical, but I've always found the cheaper casio bracelet watches to be quite poor. Mostly due to the bracelet itself. You get what you pay for, but for me it's a deal breaker. I much prefer the resin straps on these kind of watches.

That particular watch is interesting, in that, seemingly, the strap is actual metal, people are having issues with the watch body itself, painted resin of some sort. The lugs get scratched trying to change the bracelet out.

Just to add, there's an 'Asian' variant of this, the Casio AE-1200WH-1BVEF with gold fascia and a coloured world map. (green)

I'm in love..




Russian review shows off the slight yellow gold tint of the fascia.



All the plastic variants of this module have dropped to below $20 Retail in the US. Shop around..

These are the exact type of watches I bought when I was 12...and I still love them

Not really a watch aficionado, but I just picked this up for a tenner.



20 euro in Argos right now, I had a voucher.

Cheaper than the last time I posted this. I know some people are into their basic Casios.
