LukeBuildsWatches gives a big-digit Casio a red-filter makeover

March's W221H modification remains the busiest upload during a week without anything new.

Four screws, a red filter and a surprisingly familiar fit: LukeBuildsWatches' W221H makeover is finding viewers long after its March debut.

In "Casio's Newest Watch is Crazy!", Luke removes the digital watch's module and discovers that its form factor matches the AE1200. His usual filters fit, too. Cleaning putty doubles as a positioning tool, helping him lower the red filter into the case before he works the module past the tight button contacts. The finished display keeps those large digits, now against vivid red.

There were no new uploads this week, but the channel added about a million views and another thousand subscribers. Daily viewing is currently below its usual level, so this is growth without a fresh-release rush. Among similarly sized DIY channels, The Bunting Effect and John Dolechek also had substantial viewing weeks, while Maker3DPrint was quieter.

The W221H Short has the most momentum right now, followed by "I Added Outer Space to my Casio". That September AE1200 project takes a more intricate route: a UV-printed tiny green traveler, a moon decal and yellow and green filters turn the watch face into a miniature space scene. "My Biggest Order Ever (87 Watches)" rounds out the active older uploads, putting a very different scale of watch work beside those tiny details.
