I keep tooting pictures and articles about really expensive watches, let's take this back to basics
This is the Casio MQ24-7BLL
It costs less than even the venerable F91-W, it's made of plastic and shows the hour, minute, and second only
Despite that, it's fucking brilliant
For less than the price of a cup of coffee you get a highly legible, accurate enough, reliable watch
And if you want celebrity endorsements, the fucking Pope wears one
@troubleMoney Huh, interesting. I don't have a watch at all, and having one as backup would be nice. How does the Casio product name system work? E.g. there is a MQ24-7BLLGF, and an MQ24-1E (twice the price since dark face?) ….
(They are between 7 and 10 Euros here, so "less than the price of a cup of coffee" only is true if you're into really expensive coffee :D)
Thanks for the recommendation in any case(io heh).
@troubleMoney (Although the F91W kinda tickles my scifi nerd, for some reason. Huh.)
@rixx oh yeah, the F-91W perfectly ticks the "80's future" boxes for me, love the things
Can very much understand why you don't though
@troubleMoney After staring at it for a while it definitely has some charme. :D (The A168WA 1YES too, it even says "ElectroLumenescence" on it. Gotta be maximum retro. <3)
@troubleMoney Tbh the F91-W is pretty much what I think of when I hear "Casio", and to me it looks really ugly. Or at least not something I want on my arm, it … just looks like a Casio calculator. :D The MQ24 looks nice though.
