Casio Casual Watch A700W-1ACF

Product Information

I’ve heard a few people in the comments of my YouTube videos mention how Casio watches are an addiction. It’s your every-job, go-to watch that won’t stop your hands from getting dirty with mud-shoveling, oil changes or concrete-piling. Casio’s reputation suggests that this watch is likely capable of better water exposure than the marketed figure, though I’d maybe stay clear of regular swimming whilst wearing it until this watch has proven itself. The 18mm bracelet is fairly standard – it’s a basic stainless steel Milanese with a slide clamp securing mechanism, to suit various wrist sizes.

The module in here works in the same way as the popular Casio models you may be familiar with, including the typical stopwatch, alarm features and more. New with tags: A brand-new, unused, unworn and undamaged item in the original packaging (such as the .

Sometimes it’s nice to just wear a watch that’s simple, without frills, and makes you think of happy times from your past. I think it looks quite classy and I prefer the less cluttered design compared to some of the older watches; though that is going to be subjective and based on what you prefer. I guess in an ideal world, I’d love to see this with stainless steel construction and better glass, rather than the acrylic that’s in place.

Since reviewing those, I’ve showcased a string of Casio watches that have never quite lived up to that reputation, despite being solid in their own right. Not quite as nice as the "electro-luminescence" ones that Casio feature in some watches, but still good. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

I particularly like the smaller bulges around the pushers, along with the horizontal engraved lines that adorn the lug area. The silver panels at the top of each bracelet piece may be matte, but they are about the same tone of silver as that used in the main case; giving an interesting multi-textured aesthetic that adds to the style of the watch when unfolded. I LOVE retro style Casio's: the A700 is a total win from Casio which updates those old watches - tough and durable like all Casios, very stylish for casual or smart clothes, super thin and light and has a fantastic backlight. Regardless, it looks really good and is better than I expected on such a cheap watch, it even has a signed buckle. In a sea of chunky G-Shock Mudmasters and burly Pro-Treks, the horological equivalents of hard-wearing mountaineering boots, there’s something to be said for the comfort, subtlety, and easy wearability of the A700W-1ACF.
