I commented elsewhere in the thread that Casio is still a status symbol - just to to a different, more pragmatic, group of people. Then I saw this comment, lol.

I too love to rock a Casio, and recognize others who do as well.

Though lately I've been hooked on my PineTime Watch. It's not as iconic as a Casio, but it costs about the same and does ship with a Casio immitation watch face pre-programmed.

Lol. Yeah. That was my reaction, too. Then I realized they're also less than $30.00. I love mine so much. It's simple, but it's so cool.
