Public Service Announcement:

I like this watch. And this Pen. That is all. I think I paid $4 on clearance at eBay. How many others love your basic $20 Casio watches? Not G-Shock. Not Edifice. Not Oceanus. Just basic Casio digital (and maybe some analog/ana-digi). Show your pics below :).

Battery operated Casio, I use this watch mainly for jogging and various timing tasks.

IMO the F-91W is the king of cheap but reliable Casio watches.

I don't own that one, but I do have a casio databank (DBC32-A1?). It's a nice novelty for the geek factor, though not my choice for daily wear.

Truth be told, my $39 Casio Waveceptor solar beater gets swapped onto my wrist more often any other watch in my collection (though not for longer hours.) Why? I wear it when playing tennins with my wife, when gardening, when doing maintenance around the house, or anything rough that might scratch or jostle a mechanical too much. Casio rocks.

+1.

My Waveceptor is the go-to watch for cycling, snorkelling, and when i needed to see GMT time at work.

Just got this from Amazon for $14, with the intent of wearing it while biking. The good: IMO a decent-looking watch, better than the Armitron and Timex in this price range. The dial is attractive, heck, I think the watch is attractive. Smaller than most of Casio's 100m+ sports watches, and it fits easily under cuff. Lume on the hands is fair, lume on the dial is weak. The band has the typical annoying problem (of cheaper watches) of not curving around the wrist very well. 'Going for a first MTB ride today, and we'll see how it fares...

Old thread watch update...

I've had this watch for about 10 months now, and it is working great for the purpose. I mentioned the lume is fair, but I'm happy to report that it lasts long enough if I am caught out on the trail a couple hours after dark. Most importantly, visibility during daylight is very good (as are many analog watches with contrasting hands): I have a digital Ironman that has fair readability and a digital G-Shock that has near zero visibility while my hands are on the handlebar.

It's plastic/acrylic(?) crystal has become scratched up, but less than 2 minutes with Brasso and a paper towel cleaned it right up.

How's your "Basic. Casio. Watch." holding up?

(all pictures grabbed from the interwebs - I'm too lazy to dig up my own)

AQS800W - my first Ana-Digi and solar to boot. It's become a bathroom clock because I learned that I can't handle anything analog (even with digital) without a second hand...

F105 - EL version of the venerable F91:

W-202- same size as F91, much better module (as previously mentioned). The slightly angled buttons help keep them from getting pressed by accident:

And my favorite cheap digital (even though the W-202 is quantitatively better, as is the F105), the F91W-G:
