Casio Men's MTP-VD01D-1BV Enticer Stainless Steel Watch
A Casio in name only. The Casio MDV106 gives you a far better watch for the same or less money.
- Skip: the Casio MDV106 is a better Casio at the same price
- 30M water resistance versus 200M on the MDV106
- Generic sports design without the MDV106's distinctive diver look
Best For / Not For
Best for
- Buyers who specifically want a stainless bracelet look over the MDV106's diver style
Not for
- Most buyers who should choose the MDV106 or Seiko SNK361 instead
- Anyone who does water activities (only 30M water resistance)
- Buyers looking for Casio's best-value offering
Key Details
Why We Skip It
The MTP-VD01D is not a bad watch, but it exists in Casio's lineup in a less defined position than the MDV106 or the G-Shock family. The MDV106 has a clear identity as a water-resistant diver-style watch. The MTP-VD01D is a generic sport analog without the MDV106's water resistance or distinctive design.
At the price, there is no reason to choose this over the MDV106. The 200M water resistance advantage alone makes the MDV106 the obvious buy.
When to Buy It Anyway
Buy the MTP-VD01D if you specifically want a stainless bracelet look and find the MDV106's diver style does not fit your wardrobe. In that narrow case, the design preference can override the water resistance advantage.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Casio reliability and quartz accuracy
- Stainless steel bracelet option
- Clean, inoffensive design
Cons
- 30M water resistance versus 200M on the MDV106
- Generic design that does not stand out
- No clear advantage over the MDV106 at similar pricing
- Nothing distinctive to recommend it over better alternatives
Bottom Line
Skip the Casio MTP-VD01D-1BV and buy the MDV106 instead. The MDV106 delivers 200M water resistance and a more distinctive design at the same price. The MTP-VD01D has no meaningful advantage.
