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

@bea I've not actually seen the battery life of the MQ24 anywhere, but this is a watch that's somehow cheaper than a new watch battery so it doesn't matter too much

@troubleMoney yeah, that was just based on experience. how do you feel about the resin bands?

@bea they're not actually that bad

I mean, they feel cheap 'cause they really, really are but they're perfectly serviceable

@troubleMoney agree. only issue i have with them is that they break :c

Follow

@bea I haven't tried it with the MQ24 but certainly with the F91-W you can replace the strap with just about any strap that's 18mm wide

You do end up with the strap costing more than the watch though
