I lost my Casio watch somewhere in my closet about 3 years ago (I am very lazy).
I still hear it beep every hour.
Maybe today is the day?
Nope, he just missed it.
Beautifully timed
place a marker halfway in your closet. every hour stand at the marker and see if the beep is to your left or right. Should be able to find it in <8 attempts.
Dude is lazy and you want him to stand up 8 times in a day?
the only alternative is to piss off your S.O. by asking if they’ve seen it and then they’ll find it instantly
Or your dad, if you’re my kids.
You guys are hilarious! There’s no way I’m going to search for it. That watch is going to find me before I find it.
And if it beeps on the same side no matter which way you’re facing, you might be wearing it.
Rolex has spent the last 50 years trying to rebrand itself as a luxury watch brand but they started out as sport watches. Essentially what this Casio watch is.
The people that designed Rolex watches wanted them to be basically indestructible. They’re wildly over-engineered. They have shockmounts so you can drop them without breaking the balance staff and most are waterproof.
That’s because Swiss precision is meaningless when a $1 chip can keep time better than a $6k mechanical watch. The only way they can survive is by selling the luxury angle.
My wife is in the army. This is the watch that soldiers wear; it has every function you need, and absolutely none that you don’t, and it’s cheap as shit so you can afford it on your crappy military pay. It will not give a flying fuck what kind of abuse you put it through, and in a pinch it will probably stop a bullet.
We’re still one of those planets that think digital watches are a neat idea.
I mean Garmin watches are pretty awesome
Yeah my Instinct is basically glued to my arm at this point. Solar charged. Can take a bath with it on.
Instinct solar gang. Love this watch.
Time is an illusion.
Lunchtime doubly so
Casio has a line of ladies watches with floral borders, I wear one as a man and get lots of compliments.
Ooh - do they have one in Hawaiian print?
Edit: Searching for “Casio Hawaiian Print” was fun.
Dammit why do I love this.

Get what works. Fuck all those dick measuring contests.
Function over form!
this post reminded me of my old Casio that I forgot on a plane as a kid. left it in those pockets under the tray on the seat in front of you :(
so I’ve gone ahead and ordered a pink one! :D
Just got my wife a pink one off eBay!
that’s a very thoughtful gift. i hope she enjoys it!
Pink is a very good choice of color for that watch. I hope you enjoy it forever.
thank you. men around here always dress like they’re in a funeral during these winter months, so I’m trying to break the stigma and add a splash of colour
The amount of compliments I also got from the cheapest watch at a grocery store (also Casio)… I’ve seen listings for some really expensive ones with the same shape and general appearance but different colors and maybe features. Does anyone know what’s up with those?
Casio does variants of the same model with all stainless steel cases/bands for a bit more, but it’s usually the japan exclusive colorways that see prices north of $70 or so. Casios are usually pretty affordable!
$70 isn’t even expensive. Are people really fawning over sub-$100 watches?
I mean you read the post right? Anon is literally fawning over a $10 watch
This perception that cost=quality is so funny. It’s a tragedy that Jules Borel gave up on Mallards. Swiss movements in stainless cases, sold as a price-point piece. Peanuts compared to most shitass luxury watches of the time that used the exact same movement.
What watch, in your opinion, is worth the cost? I’d like something a little nice, but tend to only buy quality items so I don’t re-buy
Citizen has some quartz models for ~$60 if you’re looking in the right place. I see a lot of ebay sellers that are authorized vendors and are going out of their way with undercut pricing. Find something all stainless if you can, and go for a screw back if you want to replace the battery yourself. I work at a jewelry store and we get at least one person a month who’s ruined their watch by trying to do a battery change themselves.
If you want digital, Casio and Timex are both currently doing reissues of extremely functional vintage models.
I like the look of modern Seikos, but I’ve handled very few myself. In the past they were an absolute bitch to get parts for, but that may have changed.
Any modern mechanical watch should be absolutely avoided, unless you’re a connoisseur looking for a fancy-pants showoff piece. There’s a reason we’re all on quartz now lmao
They’re like $20 bucks now but totally worth the extra cost.
Square Casios are immortal.

I feel like I can’t be the only person who had the rubber wrist strap snap after only a few years. It was really annoying because I didn’t wear it that much. And a replacement strap cost nearly as much as a new watch.
Yeah, you’re definitely not. Those rubber wrist bands/straps gotta be the worst part of these things, regardless of brand.
I couldn’t find one in store so the misses bought me one off ebay. It was fake and broke in the ocean.
Watch out. Plenty of fakes of a cheap watch out there.

I got this watch because it’s the preferred watch of terrorists. I like how light it is but the strap did break after not taking it off for a year. I think the oils in my wrist broke it down.
Same, bought one after going around trying to find a suitable Gshock with my mate. Coming across this bad boy and found out that people use this watch for a makeshift time bomb timer and terrorists use it because of how reliable it is.
i have a casio watch, but i cant wear it, because if i do i keep looking at time every few seconds
That’s a shame, cause that strikes me as exactly the person who would get the most use out of it.
time is most valuable when youre young as they say
My favorite watch I’ve ever owned cost $7.
