New Casio Alpinist

Very nice watch and value for money but impossible to find at the moment (especially the green version)!!! Anyone had better luck?

Oh no, what is that horrible day/date window? Ruins an otherwise great looking watch

This is the most triggering day/date window in the history of watch making. 😂

·

Other than that it’s a great watch for the money it costs

·

Isn’t it a JDM only release..? If so shop around you should find it

I like it

Who decided it was ok to put the day/date crooked like that? A date window that's crooked is one thing, but having the day text slanted like that just looks so out of place. I'm not a huge fan of day/date anyways, but I can live with it. This is the first watch I've seen where I would not buy it just because of how the day/date was implemented. I didn't know a day/date could be a deal breaker for me until now. Very cool watch otherwise.

This watch is awesome!

·

I can’t decide if it’s the crooked day/date window or the compas bezel you’ll never use that would make me pass on this more.

·

I think they got the size wrong here. It's simply too big for most wrists.

·

A bit too big for my taste but still, for the price, a very good option.

·

That might be the worst day/date window I’ve ever seen.

You can easily find the blue and black, not the green one

I like the blue one, so I grabbed one of these. Comes in May sometime, so just in time for some summer hiking adventures. I already have a big green bezeled Casio in a duro so the blue made sense to me.

Will do, once i get it in and sized up.

I made the Duro comment because this new watch is the very same case dimensions as the Duro. 24 lug size, 48mm length and 44mm wide so expect the same wearing experience. The bezel may help the visual sizing, but its the same. Those straps will work with this new one so u may have extra straps laying around to fit it.

Any #alpinist watch alternative to suggest? Other than #seiko

Here it is Aldo. Its really great. This one's bracelet is much better than other Casio steel bands. Its links articulate better than other Casio bracelets.

Compared to the Casio Duro

Its thinner than a Duro too. The Duro is above on a velcro strap.
