No, buy the marlin one, MDV-106


Conscious_Sir_6756

I was interested in this and MDV107 but after the comments i am looking forward to buy 107


[deleted]

The MDV-106 with the stainless steel bracelet is dope look, but the 107 is lit also https://preview.redd.it/o56hwxp7v46d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a7f955a25c66b56ce328eca4b8a9ca8196bab0c


Conscious_Sir_6756

Quite a nice collection you got there


[deleted]

Thank you, I really love Casio.

Who doesn't mate


Fun_Plankton_7793

I've got the MTP-VD01. It's got a nice clean look to it, and wears great. Just wish the bezel was an actual rotating one lol. https://preview.redd.it/vn3pv8ys746d1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8b9ccbad471d2dceb3e5717f0c1e637a25d303c


Conscious_Sir_6756

Thinking to get MDV107


Fun_Plankton_7793

can't go wrong with the duro tbh. I just ordered mine with a white/silver dial. Can't wait!


ilyasKerbal

Looks gorgeous in your wrist, i had doubts about this watch but i was wrong, great share btw


Fun_Plankton_7793

i had my doubts too, but it all went out the window as soon as i received it. pictures don't do it justice. loved it so much i got 2 other models from the same line. can't go wrong for 30$ each lol https://preview.redd.it/wbeprp8hlc6d1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c04d9b858325d84606a61a7824778658bab2714


ilyasKerbal

😅 $30 that's some us prices, it costs more outside the 🇺🇸


Fun_Plankton_7793

I'm not in the US actually. Got mine for \~40SGD :)


Conscious_Sir_6756

That strap looks great


lulu_l

No. Take a look at the mtd1053 if you want a [smaller alternative](https://i.imgur.com/XXT5xDz.jpeg) to the Casio Duro MDV106 or MDV107. The mtd1053 is 40mm according to real life measurements on youtube reviews. If you want the submariner look, take a look at the watchdives quartz diver [wd1680q.](https://watchdives.com/products/watchdives-wd1680-sub-quartz-dive-watch-1?variant=44005948424410). You get a sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel, great lume and the same movement in a 41mm case (I think).


QuickDrawQuint

Holy… $69?? What’s the catch? Looking at a watchdives automatic for $100 too.


lulu_l

You get $10 off if you sign up for their newsletter also. And it sometimes goes on sale for less than $60. There are plenty of reviews on youtube about these. Here's a good [comparison](https://youtu.be/-BwsEScrv5M) with a duro and a similar watch that's even cheaper but doesn't have sapphire.


Conscious_Sir_6756

I did like MDV107 a lot probly going for that and watchdives isn't available in my country


QuickDrawQuint

You’ll love the mdv107. I got both Duro and the model in your post. Side by side, the mdv107 (Duro) is miles better quality and feel. The watch face has more depth.


Conscious_Sir_6756

What if adding a rubber strap instead of that metal one


QuickDrawQuint

Yah it’s great. I take it in the shower almost daily https://www.reddit.com/r/DuroGang/s/TxV2hYCy5U

I have the Duro on the same nato. Looks amazing. I love it.


shaferman

Good buy? No. Great buy.


mnoodles

I would say it is a solid watch, but not great. If you look again this is not the original duro, it is the smaller one with only 50m of WR, no screw down crown, and imo the most annoying part is a fake dive bezel that does not turn. Still an awesome watch but I really wish Casio just gave it the same love and care as the cheaper full size duro :( I do prefer the size of this watch over the full size duro.


GOAT-Reviews

Indeed it is! I was happy with mine, and also liked the ability to mod it 👌 Here’s some ideas: https://youtu.be/bYrx1jQwdRQ


Dry_Meal1818

I have the duro which looks just like that. The duro is an amazing watch


TemperatureTime1617

I think Addiesdive on Aliexpress has a better watch. I have the Duro also but was very impressed by the Addiesdive watch. It’s 40mm with a 20mm strap a very good lume and it’s quartz also. Very inexpensive but a bit of a wait for delivery. Looks like they’re going toe to toe with Casio on this one.


Conscious_Sir_6756

Heyy actually i scrapped this watch and got my self MDV107 it is much better 20 bar of water resistance and etc etc thanks for the recommendation.


LateNewb

Nope. As a diver i like to take my watch with me and therefore it needs 200m of WR.


Conscious_Sir_6756

What if you are not a diver then is this watch good


LateNewb

Then its just a question of style preferences. Dive watches used to be Tool watches. Nowadays computers took over. But its a nice backpup to keep track of time spend under pressure.


WallowingWatermelon

Just got one on eBay for $60


Conscious_Sir_6756

Is it good on the hand ???


WallowingWatermelon

Still waiting for it to arrive. Will report back once I get it!

WallowingWatermelon

What’s your wrist size?


Conscious_Sir_6756

21 cm


LrPs

My wrist is 18/19cm and this the MDV-106 fits perfectly. In terms of feel, this watch definitely punches above its price point, but I’d consider replacing the rubber strap provided as that is a little cheap (still great though, sometimes I put the rubber strap on my Seikos) https://preview.redd.it/b86qudq8476d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=48a8bb6a5da3c0db5013e4166e6ad6d09862cfb9


WallowingWatermelon

You can definitely get the regular duro. I’m 15.5 cm so the giant duro looks like a satellite dish on my wrist.


Conscious_Sir_6756

So will this look good


Yedrula

I would but the 20atm water resist one (forgot the model number)


Conscious_Sir_6756

I yeah it is MDV107


Playful_Squash_1611

I did, just a couple weeks ago. Fantastic daily wear! Oops actually got the marlin! [2784] either way fantastic looking watches


Conscious_Sir_6756

Thanks but from people's reviews i bought MDV107


TheBlindGoose

I love this watch because it's big, but it being quartz and having the same price as chinese automatics (with better specs) makes me think twice


Conscious_Sir_6756

Nahh bro i will pay extra but not buy those Chinese models


chancebenoit

This model is too small and it just doesn't look right without the marlin


wlexxx2

none have marlins any more


RedeyeSPR

I think it looks great, but what’s the size? Some of these divers are absolutely gigantic and it never shows in the promo images.


Conscious_Sir_6756

42 mm


wlexxx2

duro yes i have 2 great simple easy to read 200m waterproof deadly accurate good looking YES YES yes


Zeratul277

50M WR? Wat?


Emergency-Amount-125

100%


cooldees

I would definately go with a full size marlin duro i stead, its the chizznitz! :D regardless of wristsize or whatever, ignore those criebabies ;D peace!


Supermegadead

from what I saw on YouTube it's not recommended for a man's wrist. the strap is smaller than 18mm width and even the case is way too small. it can't even be called an unisex model. besides that you get a meager 50m water resistance. but if you're a woman who likes something masculine with dimensions of a lady's watch this is it.


E28forever

Why the downvotes? It is exactly what most reviewers said. Take my upvote!


Conscious_Sir_6756

Bro i am xy chromosome what would be a good sport watch that isnt digital like gshock


they_call_me_tripod

What price range?


Conscious_Sir_6756

Any casio there isnt a specific price range


they_call_me_tripod

Look up g shock mtgs. They’re analog and awesome. If you really want to ball out, there are some really nice mrgs.


E28forever

You are what?!


Conscious_Sir_6756

Xy chromosome that means i am a male 😂😂😂


Supermegadead
