The new Enticer MDV-10 takes inspiration from the legacy of the Casio Duro Marlin, but with concentrated dimensions and reduced water-resistance rating. I hope that this short Casio Enticer review of mine helped you in some ways in choosing the best models for yourself.

Casio sports watches have straps that are made from materials such as fabric, genuine leather, metal, plastic, PU, resin, silicone, and other synthetic materials. Opt for timepieces with leather straps if you want something that you can wear on a regular basis. A timepiece with a stainless steel strap can be a classy option to complete your formal look. You can also choose a watch based on its dial shape - contemporary, polygon, rectangle, round, square and tonneau dial shapes are the options you have. A timepiece with a contemporary dial and resin strap can be a great accessory for any informal occasion. The straps and dials of Casio watches also come in different colours, so you can opt for that suits your skin tone and something that complements your everyday attire. Before proceeding further, let us go through the lineage of the new Casio Baby Duro (or Junior Duro). In 2021, Casio introduced a new model MDV 106*, a recreational water-sports watch with a water resistance of 200 meters. Casio Duro MDV 106 Marlin, Reference MDV106B-1A2V For this review, I bought a MDV-10-1A2V model from the Casio online store. First of all, I want to remind you that MDV-10 does not have the minimum water-resistance rating required for a diver’s timepiece. Buying Casio watches online is now easy, thanks to the wide range of online shopping portals. You can sit in the comfort of your home, log onto an online shopping portal, and browse through and compare the features, specifications and price of two or more timepieces for a wise buying decision.

Model Comparison

MDV-10 comes with the same hand-set design of its big brothers. It has a big arrow-head hour-hand, a baton-shaped minute-hand and a long spear-shaped centre-seconds hand. In the Pepsi bezel model, the colour of the seconds hand is red. The model featured here has a beautiful Pepsi (blue and red) bezel-insert evoking a widely accepted style introduced by the highly sought-after Rolex GMT watch of the 1950s.

Pros: Lightweight, compact and comfortable to wear. Suited for both genders with thin wrists. Good lume. Well defined aesthetic style. Aesthetically, MDV-10 recreates all the design attributes of the MDV 107 model. The unidirectional rotating diving bezel is there for measuring elapsed time. It is topped with a mono-tone or bi-color aluminium insert featuring 0-60 scale and a triangle marker with a luminescent pip. The coin edged bezel is easy to operate. The MDV-10 model weighs a mere 58 g with a resin strap and 85 g with a stainless steel bracelet.

Casio Watches – Exquisite, Stylish and Versatile

It is worth mentioning that Casio Duro watches comply with ISO 2281 for water-resistant watches instead of ISO 6425 divers’ watches standard. Water-resistant to 200 meters, MDV 106 and MDV 107 may be used for skin diving, recreational water-sports and marine activities. In comparison with the above models, MDV-10 is only 50 meter water-resistant, a huge disappointment for those who expected a compact diver from Casio. In this hands-on-review section, I am introducing the newly launched Casio Enticer MDV-10, a compact-sized evolution of the MDV-107 diving watch. Casio Enticer MDV-10-1A2V In 2022, Casio launched MDV 107 #, an evolution of the Duro diver. It shares most of the features of its predecessor. Surprisingly, in this new reference, Casio has opted to eschew the emblematic Marlin symbol on the dial. Water-resistant to 200m, this model offers two straps choices: resin band and stainless steel bracelet with one-touch 3-fold clasp. Casio Enticer MDV-10 Review In my opinion, MDV-10 is unusually small and less masculine. What we need is a bona fide compact diver with a case diameter of 40mm or slightly higher. The water-resistance rating should be 100m or higher, better if certified according to ISO 6425. Pros and cons In fact, it has a good luminosity, which improves visibility in the night or in the dimly lit surrounding.

The accuracy of the timepiece is quite good and you hold expect it to be off by not more than 20 seconds in a month. The lug/strap width is 16mm. In addition, Casio is offering versions with a stainless steel bracelet or fabric wristband. The aesthetics style of the MDV-10 Pepsi bezel watch evokes the style of iconic Rolex GMT Master reference 6542, which is also known as Pussy Galore.If you are seriously thinking about getting yourself a watch or want to gift someone else, then this piece is perfect.
