I have a Samsung watch 6. But I dunno... I'm feeling like I wanna worry less about charging devices recently. And this Casio F 105 W looks great and was cheap.
Should have gotten a watch with a calculator smh. Now that made you cool.
Hell, my G-Shock watch still works. Never understood why someone would spend thousands on a watch just to have it accidentally broken, smashed, lost, stolen....
I like my 30.00 watch I bought 30 years ago. It tells time and lights up. What else you need?
LOVE! I've got 4 or 5 Casios and my wife has at least 2. (Or cash-yo according to my Philippine wife.)
Just got this one for the tide and moon:

$20 on eBay!
Maybe its the boomer in me but I just can't see any major benefits of having a smart watch. I'm not saying there aren't any but to some degree I feel as though my smart phone is more than enough tech I need with me day to day
Having your credit card there is very convenient.
The only non-watch thing I want from my smartwatch is to replace my phone's ringer. I get notifications as a vibration on my wrist instead of a sound.
I dream of having a watch that just does that without all the body-tracking mumbo jumbo. I dont need to know my blood's oxygen level, and I certainly dont want my watch to have GPS capabilities.
Edit: I need to specify that I've only owned Chinese watches/smartbands with more than 20 days battery life. Having to charge a watch every day sounds ludicrous to me.
The only positive they offer is workout tracking. In a case like that, you get something cheap that’s specifically made for workouts (like a Fitbit).
Another reason for buying it... I miss the 90s and late 80s look more and more (despite being a Latino kid during those years so I didn't grew up with the cool pop culture you Americans imagine).
Also yeah, I saw some scenes from Drive (2011) a few days ago, the synth vibe 80s infected me I guess, like there's something inside me, it's hard to explain.
Nice that it has ‘Water Resist’ emblazoned on the front in large font in case you forget
Nice. I just picked up a timeless F91W. 7 year battery life? Hell yeah, sign me up.
NGL I like the look of the 91 more but this one has a better backlight.

I do not know how much that watch lasts, but the Mi Band 6 that I had since years ago lasted to me up to 10 days (currently is half that), and that was good enough for me 😬
7 years apparently.
I got a CA-53 recently myself, for much the same reason.
Nobody ever said anything about my Apple Watch, but holy crap does everyone love a calculator watch.
(Which is hilarious because as a kid, I was teased as a nerd for having such a thing.)
I just got a CA-53 myself today! I remember having one when I was in middle school and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. I just smile every time I look at it.
It'll last forever! Remember having one of these waaay back... Don't remember what happened to it, but rest assured, it didn't die before I lost it 😆
