    I kept replacing my Casio FE-10 watches until they were no longer made. Perfect combination of thin with big enough display to wear while tuning/working. I purchased and returned quite a few others after the last one broke - searching for something that was comfortable enough and ended up with

    I did get a magnetic wrap band for it to cut down on the buckle discomfort while working.

      Casio, Arabic numerals, white dial, AND the least expensive and classic digital.

      I always have these two watches.

      The digital's alarm goes off at 11:56 p.m. for no particular reason. I just let it.

      Hacking this watch is complicated and can take me up to 2 hrs with my poor vision.

      It's worth owning. It's definitely worth wearing. I just don't care enough to go through what's needed to set it.

      It's also on military time. I think the time is close to accurate. 🙄

        I wore watches, usually ones from the likes of Walmart, before I started carrying a mobile phone with me. I remember my parent bought me a watch from an old school watch shop when I was in secondary school. But I don't remember ever buying a watch from a proper watch/jewelry store myself. I do not remember any of the brand names; I don't think I have ever worn a watch that carried a well known brand name. I stopped wearing a watch not long after I started carrying a cellphone with me regularly, and have not looked back ever since. I was briefly tempted by the idea of an Apple Watch but ultimately thought it not worth the hassle of carrying "one more thing." 🤷

          My IWC got saltwater in it. The cost of repair was absurd. Let them keep it.
          Bought a Garmin via Amazon. Charge about every other month.

            I had an IWC Cal. 89.

            Mechanical wound and a speed of 18,000 bph. In other words the speed of a pocket watch or "railroad watch."

            My conclusion? Well, it's no wonder trains crashed because of time keeping errors.

            My first Mickey Mouse watch was probably a better time keeper.

              My nice watch is an IWC Portugueser.

              I’ll probably give it to my son as a college graduation present.

              My daily wear is an Apple Watch. I use it to track exercise and sleep. I really like it for those two functions.

                That is a sharp IWC.

                    Beautiful watch. I had never heard of IWC. Looked them up. A bit beyond my budget.

                      That reminds me. I had a Mickey Mouse watch too, probably sometime in my elementary school years.
