The Casio is from a time when there wasn’t a clock staring at you every time you turn around. If the choice were Casio or nothing, I’d just stick with nothing. A time keeping device on my wrist solves no problems for me (except running, in which case the Garmin comes out). A Casio “gets the job done” in the same way a buggy whip still gets the job done: it’s a job that kinda doesn’t need doing anymore, at least for me.

If there were a wrist-worn device that can track my runs, open my garage door, turn on the lights, remind me to water the neighbor’s plants tomorrow at noon, play me some music and...oh, what the hell, tell me the time, too...THEN we’d have something worth wearing on my wrist all day. Which is why I have an Apple Watch and not a Casio.

I always wear a cheap Casio watch (and mean always: in the shower, when I sleep...) And it's been great for me. I was fed up of pulling my phone out whether I wanted to check the time because I would always get distracted and sometimes not notice the time anyway. It also felt like a regression to the days of pocket watches.

I've found that sometimes I want to know the time without pulling out my phone, had a citizen eco drive that was solar, loved the thing until it just created a rash on my wrist.

I think this is why I like my dumb watch. I already spend too much time on my phone and checking the time on it just triggers further procrastination.
