I'm pretty sure I can effectively win any debate that a different watch at this price is a better value. Nothing really comes close. The newest ones like this are very good watches regardless of price. Sure, you can spend more making every single piece on the watch, but you wont have significantly more quality and durability, in my opinion.

Good price. Finally Bought one after watching it for a while and watching my OG fossil hybrid hr die slowly.

the camels say it hit this price for a day or so last month, a day or so last February, and thanksgiving through Christmas last season.

Yes. I have one I bought after watching the recommendation from YouTube channel "Just One More Watch". Solid review that explains the good and bad.

Thanks. Ordered one. Getting a little tired of my everyday Citizen Eco Drive. Will give this a try, the price seems right, looks like a solid watch.

Challenge Accepted :-)
In the ~$50 dive watch arena, Addiesdive has a number of models, such as their MY-HC3, that come in around this price point and which correct a few of the problem areas on this Casio. The lume on the Casio is quite weak to start with and fades rapidly, which undermines its status as a "dive watch". Addiesdive offers KG Swiss BGW9 which is dramatically superior, no contest there. The Addiesdive has a (cheap) stainless steel bracelet where Casio has a (even cheaper) rubber strap. The unframed, tiny date window on the Casio is not very legible. The Addiesdive has a framed window and also a cyclops magnifier on the crystal. (if you don't like the cyclops you can remove it with heat.) The Addiesdive uses a Japanese Miyota quartz movement and Japanese battery with an estimated 4 year service life. Miyota is the supplier for the Citizen watch group and their movements are certainly on par with Casio's. The unidirectional bezel on the MY-HC3 model has raised numerals, versus the printed markings on the Casio. Other Addiesdive models offer a flat bezel with a decent lumed pip, Casio's pip is so dim and fades so quickly it's kinda useless. The Addiesdive has a signed crown, which you may or may not care for, but is another area where they spent money that Casio did not.

There are certainly subjective reasons to prefer the Casio such as brand name recognition, a proven track record, styling preferences, Bill Gates, the Pointy Fish, etc. Being a member of the Order of the Marlin is fun, no question. I have a "batman" version Duro that I modded with a sapphire crystal, cyclops so I could actually see the date, and stainless bracelet as I found the rubber strap uncomfortable. Addiesdive MY-HC3 has most of that stuff right out of the box. My Amazon price for one is showing ~$53.54 after 15% off coupon.

If you want an inexpensive analog watch, this is the watch to get.

Funny. I've been asked about my Seiko Alpinist and THIS WATCH. It does look way better than the price point. Although, the $70 MSRP is approaching the value cap, I think.

These have to be closeouts. They stopped putting the Marlin on the face and the new watch sans Marlin is a different part number. Good watch.

They look so soulless without the marlin. It was a fun detail.

My understanding is that the marlin logo'd version are still being made for and sold in the US market. Non-marlin is being would outside US.

That is correct. I bought one about a month ago and it came with the Marlin. Truly unbeatable value for the looks and quality unless you look at Chinese brands like the other poster mentioned.

At the very least it looks better than half the "luxury" watches posted on here and it does it at a price worthy of Slickdeals.
