The TH-cam algorithm has brought me to the right place. I was considering this watch for a while. Mission Impossible?? I am buying it.
I bought this a few days ago but haven't yet received it, but I really like the look of it and will likely never use the calculator bit but it doesn't bother me at all because I like the film tie-in and it just looks great. I don't worry about water resistance either tbph as I never wear any watch in the shower/bath/swimming in the first place.
I started with one Casio square g-shock last year or so because I love that look (not a fan of the round ones, they are too cluttered for me) and now I have 8 or so .. dear me, they are so collectable! I have a few limited ones but I wear them all, as that's what they are designed to do after all, but I don't wear the rarer ones as a daily basher because I want to preserve them in good condition. In any case, Casio bring back good memories of the 80s so I like that sentimental feeling when I wear them. Good stuff.
Great idea. I prefer to have my Casios a bit loser on the wrist (some of the bigger ones can be a bit stiff in the resin strap and take a while to get used to.. and you'd often wish that there was a whole in between the two that are either too tight or too loose).
I wouldn't be concerned about wearing some of the bigger Casios on a smaller sized wrist. They are meant to be seen :-)
Had the silver version in the 80,s the decrtive bent after 2 years then the circkip holding the side button fell of into the inside of the case.
wearing this watch is not about function but how it's look
even in the 90s nobody use the calculator function in that tiny button & screen
people wear it because it's look cool & futuristic back then
Casio seems to be rotating through their classic designs, updating them for modern use. Can’t wait for them to hit this one.
I hope they do as well and adding a cheeky backlight to it would be a great way of modernising this watch.
