Is the Casio MDV106-1AV worth it?

Yes, if you want a tough 200m dive-style watch for under $60. It is a common first dive watch and a low-risk beater.

How does it compare to the Casio Duro with a metal bracelet?

The MDV106-1AV comes on a resin strap, which is lighter and cheaper. Bracelet versions cost more and add weight but feel dressier.

Is it good for swimming and snorkeling?

Yes. It is rated to 200 meters and has a screw-down caseback, so it handles swimming and snorkeling. Avoid pressing buttons or turning the bezel underwater.

What size is the case?

The case is about 44mm wide and 12mm thick, so it wears large. It suits wrists around 7 inches and up best.

The watch, a resin strap and a Casio manual. No extra tools or travel case are included.

Prices dip during holiday sales and Prime Day events. The $49 at Amazon as of November 3 is close to the usual low.
