That just looks ugly, I cant understand how people think that the watches posted in this thread look good in anyway .

I used to have one of those when I was about 10. Also had a variant which iirc was a bit chunkier with red writing and backlight - it was a little pricier by about £2. Must have been the deluxe model Can't find it on google.

Boi that is sick.

I got mine because I need a dark cheapo for basic training.

Plus it is RETRO and it gets the indie girls. It doesn't.

Croydon pimpin' stylee:

I've so nearly bought one so many times. I should just get one and be done with it.

The green backlight is so coooool

Ive heard not accurate though, loses 1 minute per week

thats rubbish. Casio say it's accurate to, at worst, +/-30 seconds a month.

on average it'll be quite a bit better than that.

I stopped wearing watches at 15, it dawned on me that there is rarely a place you go that there isn't a clock of some sort and I really didn't need to know what the time was in Tokyo.

I stopped wearing watches at 10, when I was given my first mobile phone (brother's old Nokia 3210).

to all the people who use their phones as watches:

would you do it in a business meeting? whip out your phone for the time infront of colleagues/bosses/customers?

it's not exactly professional...

No, I would just look at the clock instead.

Silver metal looks the best. The gold one is just... who would wear that?

 

[antijoke]

I had one of those when I was 10.

My dad used one when his rolex had to be sent off to switzaland for clearing servicing and reconfiguring.

He hated it comparted to his 35 year old rolex

I used to have one of these when I was a teenager, really good watches!!!!! Seriously!!!!

 

[craptakular]

Your watch fails if it cannot change TV channels. Ah the fun we had in the 90's with teachers and changing TV channels.

 

[daz]

Get one with a light

 

[Kazz]

Casio calculator watch from the 80's, now thats a fine watch .

 

[Rotty]

Wish I still had my Texas Instruments LED watch that I had in the 70s

There's nothing wrong with having an expensive watch. There's nothing wrong with having a watch under £10.

To most people a watch is a fashion accessory and the more expensive ones are usually due to the craftsmanship that has gone into it.

I find it quite hypocritical though, people who say it's pointless spending X amount for a watch. When the same could be said about almost anything which serves a basic function. Shoes, clothes, cars, food, tv etc.

 

[I get around]

I'm still sticking with the average quality watch I got from a jewelers a while back £60, it fits and tells the time. Looks the same as any other watch to me, only wear it a few hours a week anyway.
