In this Casio Duro alternative comparison video, I try 13 alternatives to the legendary MDV-106 dive watch. This also applies to the MDV 107, which is identical to the MDV106, bar the Marlin fish logo. I try big brand diving watches like Timex and Lorus (Seiko subsidiary), as well as the best Chinese AliExpress divers, and even the Vostok Amphibia. I walk you through performance, pricing, and even subject each watch to a water pressure test up to 6bar at the end of the video, to see if any lied about their water resistance capabilities or testing. Some boast sapphire crystals, higher water resistance, solar movements, and smaller sizing vs the old MDV 106 Duro.
