I have a Casio that I've had over 20 years. Paid $40 for it at a very large drug store. I made a DIY wrench for it to remove the back when the battery would fail, which I had to use 3-4 times, I guess. It developed a problem where if you didn't put it back together just so, the display was semi-garbled. I actually put a dime inside to fix that. Last time it stopped working right (battery died a couple months ago), I couldn't get it working again, and I went back to the same store (after not finding a satisfactory replacement at other drug stores) and found another Casio that cost less than 1/2 what my former watch did - less than $18 after advertised discount. It's almost as nice as the first watch - smaller (pretty small for a men's watch), doesn't have a countdown timer, but I don't need that these days, anyway. It's digital (OK by me), compact, handsome enough, has stopwatch, date, day of the week. Press a button and you can see it in the dark. Has alarms, but I don't use that stuff. It keeps time fantastically - fast 1.5 seconds/month maximum!

But dig: I played around with my original Casio a little after buying the new watch and got it working! Yahoo, now I have TWO watches! 😀

I only wear a watch when I need to, these days. Most of the time, I don't need to.
 
Nixon. These watches are pretty cool, but most of them aren't waterproof nor do they have a light. Why can't anyone make a practical stylish watch???

To Hell with style, practicality all the way.

I bought it because I fish a lot and need a way to measure the temperature of the water.

That thing looks . . . big.

Slightly bigger than the other Casio Pathfinder watches. I was going to get the one with the GPS at one time but that looked like a pda strapped to your wrist. This is pretty manageable.
