Bros,
Where are the pretty pics of the watches you all are talking about?
What.The.Damn?
Why you do this? Have you no shame? No compassion?
What if I have never seen a f-91w? Would you not want me to know what I'm missing out on?
Fucking wankers.
.
Here's how you do this,
Thank you
The one that makes TSA sweat
good old f91w. it's basically fused to my wrist and idk the last time i took it off.
I’ve finally given up on Casio. My new g-shock is made of a lower temp plastic that is easily damaged from cooking. The glass isn’t nearly as durable as previous models. Plus the Bluetooth sync requires a terrible app and EULA. I’ve literally worn g-shocks for decades.
I had a lot of fun in school with the CMD-30-1
F-91W - Had mine for 20 years before I took it off and accidentally ran it over.
casio cfx-40
I love my stealth GA-B2100 casiooak, it's quite slight and great for casual wear, love the solar power on it.
I also have a Ga-2100-1a4er for work which is the same watch but without the solar and Bluetooth.
I have a Mudmaster GG-B100-1A as well which is basically bulletproof which has even had water inside it because I botched the seal replacing the battery, I dismantled it and dried it out works fine. The mudmaster is quite big and it was rubbing at my arm in the summer heat so I haven't been wearing at work but will again now it's getting cooler.
The mudmaster is stacked with features but I would recommend any Casio u purchase has solar. No more battery changes. Awesome
Not the F-91W. Who puts the light and the lap as the same button so checking the timer in the dark also stops it???
Casio CA53W
Can get one for $5 and it is a full calculator.
That one I got back in the 80s as a kid where I could change the channels and turn off TVs everywhere I went. Man that was super fun.
Pro-Trek 3500 in titanium. It has multiple sensors, radio-based time correction, a great display, a separate button for the backlight, and solar power. It you want a watch that blends in with the business-ware this is not it, but I like the way it looks.
I was a bit of a holdout for some years, but as they did for what I think is most of society, cell phones pretty much killed watches for me. Carrying a cell phone means that you've already got a timepiece in your pocket which you probably already carry everywhere, which automatically syncs time via the cell network (and GPS; I don't know which actually takes precedence on current phones, actually), handles timezones automatically, handles switching to local time to wherever you are when you move from place to place, handles leap years...it's tough for a watch to compete with that.
A digital watch has very low power requirements, can run for maybe a couple years off a button cell. That compares pretty favorably to a cell phone. But if you're willing to deal with charging a cell phone anyway, the timekeeping function is effectively free.
A wristwatch (or, I suppose, smartwatches, if that's the way you swing) is on one's wrist, rather than in one's pocket, so it's a bit faster to check, and one can do it a bit less unobtrusively. But I just don't check the time anywhere near enough to warrant that.
And it's one more thing to deal with, to catch on things, and so forth.
To me, it's similar to physical books. Yes I could read a book on my phone, and sometimes I do. But there are times and situations where I prefer the original, whether for functionality or just aesthetics.
A black G shock that’s been pretty much bulletproof for 20 years, then a white G shock where the physical hands will not match up with the digital time no matter how many times I reset it.
I have a DW5600CU-7 that I wear most of the time. I have others but sadly they're negative displays which make them a bitch for readability.
Ga2100
I like my g shock
If you want to spiff up your F-91W, get the sensorwatch.net module for it. The trouble I've had with those plastic watches though is that the spring pins that hold the strap break loose, and the strap falls off. If that hasn't happened with yours, you're doing good.
I rock my DBC610 almost daily.
B650W with a negative display
GW-5610 I bought secondhand for ~$80 and added an aftermarket stainless steel bezel. Uses multiband6 and solar. It's been a fantastic bulletproof watch for the past ~4 years of near daily wear (I like watches so I wear something else if I'm in a particular mood).
