      I also respect those thick ass medium end casios with barometric/altimeter sensors, at least you’re getting something for your money.

        They’re damn near indestructible, worked with strong magnets for pipeline inspection for years, the hands on my gshock would stop near them but otherwise unphased.

      I commented elsewhere in the thread that Casio is still a status symbol - just to to a different, more pragmatic, group of people. Then I saw this comment, lol.

      I too love to rock a Casio, and recognize others who do as well.

      Though lately I’ve been hooked on my PineTime Watch. It’s not as iconic as a Casio, but it costs about the same and does ship with a Casio immitation watch face pre-programmed.

          Lol. Yeah. That was my reaction, too. Then I realized they’re also less than $30.00. I love mine so much. It’s simple, but it’s so cool.
