I love my Casio watches. I have an F-91W and a B640W.

The F91-W is super light and you basically can't even feel it on your wrist. Sadly after three years the pin holding the lock in place broke, and I still have to change it (I am using the other one).

I'll probably join the G-Shock bandwagon soon, I'm intrigued by the bluetooth-enabled G-Shock watch.

I used to wear two at a time as a kid :P

Have you seen https://www.gq.com/story/watch-of-the-week-casios-neon-core-...? I had one once and wore it till it broke. Great for 80’s nostalgia

BTW, regarding the link: meh, it's not nostalgia for me, I just find them very practical and also being very cheap but feature-full I don't have to worry too much if I lose it or it breaks.

It's just a super effective watch. Which happens to look slick and cool.

Me too! But that was when I was 22! :P

I was working remotely for a company on the other side of the world and while I could have used the clock app on my phone... Wearing two watches, one for each hand, was way way cooler (at least in my mind) :P
