The Best Must-Have Everyday Watch Under $30: Casio A700W-1​

The Urban Gentry

Mar 7, 2023

At every price point in the watch world, there are go-to options, and at under $50, Casio rules supreme. But what about even less? Is it possible to get a watch that can do it all? For many people, the preferred choice is the Casio F91W-1 at an astonishing $10, or its more upscale metallic cousins, the A158W-1 and A168W-1. But in 2019, Casio unleashed a new kid on the block, the A700W-1, which challenges these heavyweight icons with something even more compelling. In this video, I review the Casio A700W-1A and discuss some of Casio's most iconic and influential watches. Join me for an 80s nostalgia-fueled extravaganza, to find out more about why this watch is so amazing, and why you should consider getting one. Whether you're a seasoned watch collector with the rarest and most expensive watches, just getting into the hobby, or need one watch for less than $30 that will do it all and last a lifetime, this is the video for you. What do you think about the watches featured in this video?
