[CASIO Review] MTP-1302PD-2A2V “Tiffany Blue” — old shapes in a popular color
When Casio’s designers create a watch that becomes a classic and remains popular for many years, they can’t predict its success. There’s no magic formula for popularity. Ultimately, it’s up to the users to decide which watches are worth buying. Today, we’re featuring a watch that doesn’t use premium materials in its design but still…

[CASIO Review] A1100B-1EF — black steel and “phosphorescence”
As long as our planet continues to spin and the sun doesn’t turn into a red giant, we humans will always need three things: water, food, and time orientation. There are many ways to orient ourselves, but the most convenient is by using a wristwatch. The simpler the watch, the easier it is to use. …

[EDIFICE Review] EFR-574D-1AV — compact steel with additional dials
Casio is known for its modern watches with MIP display and 1000 functions, Bluetooth capabilities, optical heart rate sensors, and GPS. However, after reviewing the DW-H5600 and GW-9500, I am personally tired of the excessive features.

He designed Casio’s F-91W, a basic multifunction digital watch worth below S$20. This watch became immensely popular among Singaporean men in national service and eventually became a standard piece of attire for soldiers, besides their uniforms, boots, and…

Sometimes when you look at old family photo albums, you may feel a strange sensation when you compare your younger self to your current reflection in the mirror. It almost feels like two different people are staring back at you, yet you still feel the same as you did in those old black-and-white pictures. It…

[G-SHOCK Review] GW-9500-1 — a new alternative to PRO TREK?
I am uncertain whether the GW-9500-1 is a new PRO TREK watch or a replica of a G-SHOCK made by Chinese craftsmen. I apologize for my aggressive tone, but the display on the GW-9500 is unlike the displays commonly seen on digital G-SHOCK watches, which is confusing. I will have the watch for two weeks,…

[G-SHOCK Review] DW-H5600-1 – a sporty alternative to the DW-5600?
The Japanese approach to creating a new watch often does not involve designing a completely new shape. Instead, they first test out new modules in the iconic square case before creating a new “octagon” design. Personally, I would never criticize their approach as I am a fan of the classic square shape. I am excited…
