Walk up to buy a drink at the bar and hear two blokes looking at and comparing their watches...I turn around and walk to the next bar.

2 Blokes at a bar...

wow fab high tech watch there mate
thanks
Breitling?
not quite
looks like its a Seiko
'erm no it isn't
well then it must be a Citizen?
Nope
So what is it?
it's actually a Casio
Ohhhkaayyyy not bad for fifty quid then I guess eh?


the two slowly move apart as you smell the despair

​First bloke then curses his inepitude for paying through the nose for a watch that didnt look half as good as the high quality Casio.

So you abuse and provoke people because you don't agree with them, then accuse them of being loser trolls when they come back at you :confused:

Have you looked in the mirror lately psycho?

Watch it!! Your time will come!! Expect a Ticking off any second now

I told you numerous times we should take this juvenile public nonsense to DM but you point blank refuse so forgive my cynicism Mister forum pit bull :wink:

I digress sorry so back on topic: I'm sure any of those on show in your portfolio of time pieces made at Tenko prison camp look the bollxxxs when worn with your Wrangler jeans and Primark polo shirt as you cruise down Margate's run down seafront in your Dacia Duster with regulation furry dice hanging off the rear view mirror.

No value in what impression one makes and self respect, it's all about economical functionality I remember *yawn* I know the drill by now

Told you, I don't need to lie to strangers on the internet...

So hunt down the cruel sickos who dumped that poor innocent calculator and iron them out! Oh hang on :laughing:

By the way you don't half love a library image when it comes to showing off your latest bling :smirk:

It's now discontinued. Shame. :disappointed:

Oh dear, did someone get banned off for creating a second account for the purpose of juvenile trolling by any chance?



And I wanted to share this pic with all of you: when I went down to lob some rubbish away at my mum's I came across this poor little chap in the bin sheds.

An ickle lonely figure, discarded on a food waste bin in the wilds of Sawbridgeworth and we're only in February :disappointed:

I stand with the RSPCC (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Casios)

A CASIO IS FOR LIFE, NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS

For me I've had 2 Casio Waveceptor watches for about 10 years now (1 Analogue, 1 digital). I also have a few nice watches including a Breitling. However, once you have had radio controlled time keeping with bang on accuracy, for me there just is no going back. When I'm at the station I look at my watch vs. the station clock and always they are in sync. I know some might say why do I need this level of accuracy, but why not? If a premium watch drifts a few minutes a month that could be 10 minutes after 3 months, which is a reasonable margin of error.

Oh darn it - a most satisfying debate

Ha ha - don't you dare show an opinion of this thread

sorry but that's one ugly watch.

Mines pretty rare though

Very similar to mine ... above.

This be mine - EQW-M710DB-1A1ER. A superb watch and best I've had.

I just came here to read the comments

Ha ha - I do love the trolling on here ... awesome thread

Clearly everyone has different taste, but that's not a very good looking or a very functional watch IMO. White markings on a very light grey face is a ridiculous colour combination. The black faced version is a little better, though it's not an elegant design at all IMO.

Your watch classifications are completely arbitrary as well, what's wrong with a watch with several functions that looks good and doesn't cost a fortune?

AA meetings, conceivably; but not business meetings

This thread is awesome :laughing:

How can you see the watch in the dark? It doesn't have any phosphorus coating.

Horses for courses - but does float my boat at all. But each to their own. BTW loving my G-Shock :smile:

Ew

Hoping it is Farage proof

Brexit negotiations will test just how shock proof the watch really is...:stuck_out_tongue:

No, seriously, that's minging.

Constantly amazes me that people post things like that. Yes some people will pay more for things they like, such as cars, food, holidays, boats, clothing etc. Then I looked at their profile and wasn't surprised to see they seem to be a gamer.

Sorry, but I really don't understand why you would spend so much money on an analog watch with lots of dials and features. Maybe it is a question of style. I think there are three kinds of watches that you could want:

- something cheap and nasty (plastic Casio)
- something with lots of functions (smartwatch)
- something elegant (medium to high price)

I would much rather have this one, for example:

http://www.withings.com/uk/en/store/details/activite-steel

That is elegant and functional.

Well 'THAT' might have something to do with why it's been sat in a drawer since the last millennium don't you think? Oh hang on, then again it would appear you're an illiterate dinlow who can't read simple sentences so you must have missed that bit hohum




And as for you Tobias, well you've even admitted above you're going out of your way to provoke me like some big geezer so my inbox is always open, take it to there or pipe down cxnxy

The railway watches are excellent, I used to buy a new watch every year but haven't since getting the mondaine. Eight years now

Very nice bit of tech.

Shame I will never purchase another Casio product having just been informed they 'couldn’t give two sxxxs for me'.

Come on Casio, I thought you loved me! :laughing:

Now THAT is an ugly watch- mine tells the time well, which is what I look for in a watch, that and bearing to look at it!

Casio's Android watch.

Review of the previous / 1st gen version:

Wow you just outed yourself as an angry troll with an inferiority complex :confused:

By the way do you ever go to sleep and do you own a two up two down on this site by any chance as you clearly reside in here 24/7 to be answering instantly at any hour of the day or night?

So you abuse and provoke people because you don't agree with them, then accuse them of being loser trolls when they come back at you :confused:

Have you looked in the mirror lately psycho?

But a watch is more than that to me. It is a lovely piece of workmanship and styling that I love. Hence why it is worth it to me

And still he comes back for more.

Get a life you loser!

I thought I made it quite clear I'm not really in to wrist watches at all whilst it was you who was beyond really interested in 'defending the honour' of Casio like some deranged dervish fan boy on hallucinogenic substances.

If making a mockery of your comical and dare I say bizarre blind devotion to a Japanese multinational company that manufactures budget wrist watches in neighbouring countries equates to trolling in your eyes so be it.

Though just try to remember that it was you who jumped on my tongue in cheek post with abusive expressions from the outset. I'm sure that it was in the higher case too, just to demonstrate your rather disturbing love for a firm that couldn't give two sxxxs for you.

Now just run along Mr Casio, because I'm making myself look every bit as ridiculous as you keep feeding your obsessive brand loyalty by biting back at your nonsense.

I payed £350 for my EQW-M600-DC over 4 years ago.

More than happy with my Edifice

You seem really interested in this thread especially considering you have no interest in Casio or their timepieces.

Wrong link, I think this was the one you was after.....

http://arch.casio.com/news/2012/0510_CasioThailand/

hmm, £1000 for a Casio GPS watch? so it adjusts the timezone in a new country? My £50 mobile phone does that....

Can you both put your handbags away - 12 hours bitching @ each other really?

Not my kind of watch but its a hot price for the model.

Toxic?



Fair play for saying designed because as far as I'm aware the vast majority of Casio calculators and watches are not manufactured in Japan nowadays but in groovy places like Laos and Burma instead :smile: and perhaps a bit of China too

Rather than arguing can we call agree that watches by fashion designers are the lowest of the low please? The likes of Michael Kors and D&G? I mean, if you're going to blow a lot of money on a watch surely you want one with a good Swiss movement or reliable Japanese designed tech?

Same here. I've got a couple of mondaine watches which are arguably overpriced for the tech you get, but they are one of the cleanest, simplest watch faces I could find.

This is my edifice, great watch have had it for about 6 years now.

Almost as toxic comments on here as on Reddit :smirk:

Nice speech, from someone who labels other people's choice of a functional product they enjoy as "FUGLY!" :smile:

Oh and by the way selective responses don't impress me so that's a couple of unimpressed posters in this thread it would appear eh?

Anyway got an unwell member of the family I have to take to the vet now, no doubt you consider seeking professional health care for much loved pets as inferior and overpriced too so I'll leave you to it and wish you a happy new in your functional anti premium product world, tschüß tschüß :man:

Yeah because I need to lie about previous ownership of an overpriced, inferior, watch :smirk:

You carry on putting people down who post a picture of a functional product they enjoy.

Snobbery doesn't impress me.

"Butt hurt" :smirk: so you're just another one of them strange people confused about your national identity who resorts to using septic lingo rather than British patter, deary me.

"Something very similar" you're proving previous ownership of with a library picture you've downloaded from the interwebs hmmm ok whatever you say.

As for being impressed by sports stars, well that started wearing off for me at around the time I had one of them Casio calculators with the the matchstick men boxing game....by the time I reached double figures I was beginning to be impressed by football casuals in their nice clobber tearing up at home n abroad and having an earner in foreign fields, especially in Switzerland which offered such easy rich pickings back then.

I assume you must have been in an elite military unit like the SAS about four decades ago to be so obsessed about your watch keeping such thermo nuclear perfect time (whilst storming the Iranian Embassy in Belgravia of course) because most people tend to be quite satisfied with it being a minute or two either way.

Just please try to bear in mind that most people tend to buy watches because they like them and because of the impression they create, a status symbol if you like, which is exactly why millions of two bob scratchers around the world insist on sporting Jekyll versions of Rolex, Breitling, Tag etc they paid around twenty seven of Her Majesty's Pounds Sterling for :smirk:

From the bottom of my heart I am really really happy for you that you love your 42 quid watch as much as you do and I'm even more happy for you that it keeps such amazing time seeing it's such a 'life n death' critical matter for you but I'm cool with checking the time on my smart phone: being connected to the net it's always accurate don't you know #justsaying

To be honest - all watches are a matter of taste and serve a purpose in the right situations

Dreyfuss is a great watch for certain occasions whilst the Casio is a classy everyday watch which can also be worn to meetings, etc ...

Loving my new MTG-G1000D - it is a great watch and love the styling, also serves a good purpose as compared to my Dreyfuss

You really are butt hurt over a picture of a, pretentious, watch you found on the Internet.

I had something very similar. Bought it 25 years ago and it was rubbish. Was young, got influenced by sport stars wearing their free watch and mass advertising, something Tag Heuer excel at.



Didn't keep good time and was way overpriced.
Sold it a few years ago.

My best watch now?...



The Tag I owned doesn't even come close the the quality and features of the AWG I paid £42 for, nevermind my MTG.

I got one of them in Marrakech for £4 around 20 years ago too.
Is that you Pete?

Casio actually made pretty cool calculators in 1980 when I was eight years old, whilst when it comes to watches for grown ups in 2017.......

Hang on, did I just have someone who proudly proclaims to have a collection of Casio wrist watches attempt to dig me out about my questionable taste?



Sorry flower but I've not had anything on my wrist for about at least 15 years now and that was a Tag I weighed on 800 quid for 20 odd years ago.

That Tag's been sat in it's box in the wardrobe for donkey years so every female who may have been impressed by me in that time was impressed by a watch-less me,

That all said n done it's a given that had I been proudly sporting a Casio calculator watch rather than nothing at all that modest number of possibly impressed females would have shrunk to a fat round zero :smile:



And here it is, seeing daylight for the first time in a decade n a half with the dust blown off and dead as a dodo :man:

Not going to lie, these faces look way too busy for me, granted there's complications there but there's ways of adding them without cluttering the face, as many people have said for £200 you could get a good watch, ie, one not made in Japan, not saying there's anything wrong with Casio, they make a mean calculator.

Yeah because we all strive for a woman who's more interested in what's on your wrist than what type of human being you are.
Again, shows your character.

Just because someone doesn't share your, questionable, taste doesn't make it ok to try and belittle them.
Says a lot about you as a person.

And FYI, my small collection of Casio Wave Ceptor probably keep better time, are more robust and need less maintenance than the overpriced, pretentious, timepiece you posted.

This is my watch right here....



It was very hard to find here in the UK and cost £600 when found but the shop that had it refused to come down in price so I bought it elsewhere. Import duty came to about £80 but it still worked out at least £200 cheaper

I honestly dont know what happened to Casio and their Edifice range of watches... A few years back Edifice was their premium top of the range line of watches, but theyve watered the edifice brand down so much that it means absolutely nothing anymore. You can pick up an edifice watch off amazon for about £100 or just under it which puts it in the same range as their non-edifice tier of watches.

£59.99 delivered, the nicest edifaceo to date. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Casio-Edifice-Mens-Watch-EFR-538D-1AVUEF/dp/B00L23NV0A/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1483489541&sr=8-4&keywords=casio+edifice

I would say that about all watches in general, but you're only saying it about that specific one because you seem to be loitering around scratchy league where blowing four or five figures on timepieces never happens.

No good that jealousy thing, eats away at you to the point of terminal illness in the end you know :man:

I love my £5 Casio but can't imagine ever paying £200+ for one, however fancy

mine I'm wearing now is a 2004 casio edifice. and it is still working and keeps good time. Casio = A great watch.

Are you an octopus?

Got it for £675 with a discount code from Watcho but not back up to £1100

Urban Gentry would probably tear into you for considering this. If you know little about watches then fine by all means, otherwise £200 could get you something decent, perhaps second hand, but decent.

Currently have a seiko kinetic but the li-on battery seems to be on it's way out seemingly they are designed to last 10 years

What's the life expectancy of this

Sunken treasure version of that watch is lovely!

Sweet! How much?

I like Casio watches and whilst I appreciate that watches are individual preference, this is a silly price for what it offers.

Casio, premium... Pick one.

Nowt wrong with a Casio.
A £60ish AWG, Waveceptor, will keep better time and withstand more abuse than any Rolex.

At the more expensive end, my MTG is a thing of beauty.

Titanium Citizens come up around this price, depends how much you value the alarm and radio function.

Got about 6 Casio waveceptors, and a few Seiko and citizens , have a couple of sapphire glass with titanium bracelet and case , tops £120-£140 after all the codes and TCP, for benefit of doubt add £20 for £ crash in 2016,so £200 is a not even a deal.

£200 Casio and it doesn't even have sapphire glass. Cold from me I'm afraid.

Ha ha I was just about to post that type of comment, fair play to ya fella!

A truly "wear and forget" watch, have had mine for 18 months now and no problems bar remembering how to access all the functions. Bought mine for well under £100 so this isn't the best price.

Walk up to buy a drink at the bar and hear two blokes looking at and comparing their watches...I turn around and walk to the next bar.

Use code WSSALE10 to bring it down to £202.50
