[Closed] My new watch...

Looks a sensible choice, tougher and more accurate than a Rolex.

Thank **** it's not another dull, gopping G-Shock.

and saved yourself about 4.5k which you can now spend on a holiday.

That's one of the nicest watches I have seen on STW. Looks a compete bargain. Off to Argos to have a look....

I got one of those when it was last that cheap in Argos.

Brilliant for riding in etc and smart enough should you forget to take it off when suited and booted...

lol, when I saw the thread title and the OP I just [b]knew[/b] it would be a casio 😀 Looks slightly better than I expected though!

Did you use a wookie to model that for you.

I really like that. Whats the ref/model?

I think i might get one of those. I hate watches, and only really need one to save getting my phone out to find out how late I am when riding. Oh and to poke holes in the sleeves of all my merino tops.

Great thread.

[i]Not mocking ^^[/i]

Great.
This is the right way to do it imo. It tells the time, and if you inadvertently smash it up in a biking/diy/IT disaster manner then its not the end of the world. I do this, but even cheaper - casio F-91w. Default (yearly) choice after I broke 4 of my watches and my wife's too. 😳

That was funny I might transplant some hair to my head !

Does the bezel orate or not? Reviews seem to disagree.

Has one similarly about 15 years ago. Didn't last that long but not bad watch for outdoors etc.

Reserved. Cheers chaps.

On the hairy one ^ my arms are bald/minimal leg hair too!

Its an hour behind already. Take it back 😉

it does rotate I can confirm it does rotate !

Now that's a watch that treats the wearer like an idiot!
Not only 1 - 12 in massive numerals, but all the 24hr numbers [i]and[/i] the 15 minuters in 5 min increments round the bezel 🙂

I think you have to pay a bit more for one that does after dinner speeches.

OP
I would be careful with that staple in the strap,that could be nasty.

Damn autocorrect!!!!

I don't like it, it looks like a Red X on my screen.

I would have chosen something more pleasing to the eye 😉

That's my kind of watch! About as clear and unambiguous as it's possible to get. And cheaper than most watch straps!
What's not to like?
Almost worth buying in bulk at that price, just in case you break it. 😉

Very nice. Looks similar to this Breitling military issue colt

I got one after a PSA on here - very good buy, it doesn't orate, but I can do that, but it does rotate but not in a clicky way. Also the luminosity is not great, but for £15 I can use my blackberry at night.

EDIT: I bought it because it was cheaper than a strap!

Like ! fancy swopping ?

As an owner of both a Casio G shock and a Rolex sea dweller I can state FACT that a Rolex is a without a doubt the better watch.

Haters gonna hate but I'm afraid it's true.

I've worn my dweller nearly everyday for 7yrs and despite it getting scratched it's now worth approx double what I paid for it,
My Casio on the other hand is hardly marked but I'd be lucky to get half what I paid for it.

it's now worth approx double what I paid for it,

not really comparable is it, one watch costs £4000 + the other £60 ish but I get your irony/joke...

However they both tell the time !

Fancy swopping 😆

Glad you saw the irony,

It's good you bought a watch, don't understand the way people say you don't need a watch if you have a phone .

Surely it's better just to flick your wrist than take a phone out your pocket ?

Technology seems to ignore good old common-sense and were all dragged along with its false ideals

thats why I bought one, my mrs has a few footballers wives watches, so I get the value thing but Id rather buy more useful things like silly old cars and tools !

Mine says Fri in Spanish on the day window and its quite thin/fragile (strap) 🙁

Read the thread...liked the watch...bought the watch.
£15 well spent.

had one a few weeks now,had a massive crash at degla whilst wearing it,watch survived,and I grazed my shin 😐

I've got one reserved but if they make you crash...

I bought one a while ago. needed a new battery within two months but otherwise it's great.

@Hora sounds like you have a duff one !

Sadly its also too delicate for me so returning it. The watch on the right is the only one big enough for my wrists and slamming into door frames etc:

The day indicator is bi lingual trip it over once and it will be English(probably), doesn't stop the strap being flimsy though.

I bought one. Great watch for 15 notes 🙂

Makes a change from the G-Shock I normally wear. It's very light and as some have already suggested the strap could be considered flimsy. But IMO perfectly adequate.

G-shock straps crack as well, as do all Casio plastic straps eventually. I replaced my broken strap with a nylon one.
