Casio has just added a new metal watch to its India lineup, and this one is built to work for both men and women. The Casio UTP-1302PD-3A1V brings a green dial, stainless steel band and a no-fuss three-hand layout to the brand’s analog watch range, priced at a level most buyers in India will find easy to justify.

Here is everything you need to know about the new launch.

Casio UTP-1302PD-3A1V Price in India

The Casio UTP-1302PD-3A1V price in India is set at Rs 3,995, inclusive of all taxes. That places it firmly in the budget analog watch segment, competing with similarly priced offerings from Fastrack, Titan and Casio’s own larger MTP range.

Design and Build

The UTP-1302PD-3A1V sticks to a formula Casio has used well for years: a clean three hand dial, a date window at the 3 o’clock position, and a stainless steel bracelet that does not try too hard. The case measures a moderate 42mm across, which keeps it wearable on smaller wrists without looking undersized on larger ones. That is the whole point of a unisex watch done right, and Casio has not overcomplicated it here.

The ion plated case gives the watch a slightly warmer, more premium tone compared to plain stainless steel, and the green dial variant specifically stands out in a market where black, white and blue dials dominate the budget watch shelf. Casio is positioning this as a watch that works equally at a desk job and a weekend outing, and on paper, that tracks.

Water Resistance and Daily Use

At 50 metres of water resistance, the UTP-1302PD-3A1V is rated for daily wear, hand washing, light rain and incidental splashes. It is not a swimming watch and Casio does not market it as one. If you are looking for something to wear in the pool, this is not it, but for someone who wants a watch that survives Mumbai monsoons and the occasional sink splash without drama, it covers that need.

Battery Life and Accuracy

The watch runs on an SR626SW battery rated for roughly three years, which is standard for this category. Accuracy is rated at plus or minus 20 seconds a month, again a fairly typical figure for quartz movements at this price point. Neither number is a standout, but neither is a letdown either.

Should You Buy the Casio UTP-1302PD-3A1V

At Rs 3,995, the Casio UTP-1302PD-3A1V makes a reasonable case for itself if you want a no-nonsense analog watch with a metal band and a recognisable brand name on the dial. It is not trying to be a fashion statement or a smartwatch alternative. It is a watch in the most basic, dependable sense of the word, and for a lot of buyers, that is exactly the appeal.

If you want something flashier or with more features like a chronograph or world time, Casio’s own Edifice or G-Shock lines sit a step above this. But as an everyday, gender-neutral analog watch, the UTP-1302PD-3A1V does what it sets out to do.
