I'm in.

I have a Casio Illuminator. Use it for my high schoolers soccer games. Not that I can't use the bezel on my Tudor Submariner....I just like my Casio for this purpose.

I have a G-Shock (GW-7900B). I bought it when I sent my Rolex in for its first service. I really like it and it gets worn here and there during the week and weekends. The Atomic/Solar models are THE way to go in my opinion.. no batteries to change.. time always accurate..

I may look around for a 5600 atomic/solar model next to get one a little smaller than my 7900. The 7900 is nice but it gets a little big under a shirt cuff.

I'm a big G Shock wearer, especially during workouts.

I've got 8 Casios that work:



7 in the above picture, including 2 calculators (bottom row) and my first "atomic" watch (upper right corner), that's set from the time signal out of Colorado.

Plus the G-Shock shown below:

which I wear on weekends sometimes.

My wife and I both have G Shocks. They are great weekend watches (although my wife wears hers to work everyday and wears the nice watches on the weekend).

Best casual beater watch.

I had multiple Casios growing up.

I have 3 right now. I wore a G-shock for 20 years as a Navy fighter pilot. Still wear one on a regular basis even though I have much more expensive options to pick from.

Lately I'm seeing Casio remaking (I assume it's new production, can't be so many NOS leftover) many of the 1980s iconic models but only in the Chrome or Gold metal versions, not black Resin.

For me, Casio = black resin that's where the good memories lie.

G-Shock for heavy work, the movies, or training with my daughter for Field Hockey.

Picked up a Maharishi Colab in 2016 and love it. I travel internationally a lot and the time zone features really come in handy, especially always having the "home time" showing as well.

Two for me.

One bought around 1980 and the other some years later.

Casio is the Rolex of plastic watches. And I mean that in the nicest possible way. I have had them my whole life, wearing one today.

I wore this for a number of years on the job, I still strap it on from time to time. Solar charging, sets to the atomic clock every night and tough as nails.

I think I might have to add a Casio calculator watch to my collection. Last calculator watch I owned was a transformer one back in the 80s. That was also my first Transformer must I add.

When I was in Italy, most 20 something year Olds were sporting these in silver or gold, I was actually taken back by how many young people were wearing these.

I live in Los Angeles amongst the hippest of the hipsters. They're everywhere here, too. I was about to buy the 'gold' but didn't like the rub off that occurs with regular wear. Maybe in the future.
