I feel like Michael Knight
I passed by Casio to get my new cheap retro watch and although they had literally over a hundred models, only a handful had the retro look. I ended up going with the Casio DBC-32 which is packed with features including a calculator, data storage for up to 25 names with numbers and my favorite feature, Auto Light. Basically every time I lift up my watch to see what time it is the watch lights up. I wanted to go with the simpler cheaper watches which I posted about previously but they looked really small on my wrist. My two current watches are pretty big so I needed a Casio that was as big and the calculator version was just perfect. The watch did exceed my KD5 budget since it cost KD6.100. In a weeks time I will post a review about the watch although I can already foresee some issues including the fact that the watch isn’t waterproof, its water resistant which sucks. You would think by now they would have figured out how to waterproof watches. [Link]

Thats an awful watch. get a square DW/GW series G-shock which came out in 1983 as the first G-shock, like this one
http://www.amazon.com/Casio-G-Shock-Digital-Watch-DW5600E-1V
I have 7 different ones including an original 1983 and a 25th anniversary one. its a retro watch you can actually wear, tough and very comfortable. they sell for like 12kd here and if you’re lucky you might find a limited edition one or the one with red LED which is sweet.

I’m still a fan of Casio watches. In fact, I’m wearing one at the moment. I wear Casio watches ever since I was 3 years old. I used to own those mini retro Casio watches, which are still there by the way and still working!
Now I own a Casio Edifice EFD-102 , which is my primary watch!

Me, I want an atomic watch.

Too bad the atomic signal is limited to US and Canada.
12. Mark | November 26th, 2007 at 5:56 pm
the 2:48AM edition would just be stuck at 2:48AM and it would be pink!
