Ha. This is a watch of contradictions. Cheap, yet well-made. Small, but noticeable. Old, but it feels so damn new. The watch performs flawlessly and despite mentions of it being retro, it is slick, modern, and even better looking in person.
I will say, however, that I found the included contract unusual and potentially disturbing. When I placed the order, a prompt I’d never seen before appeared, inviting me to read and sign a contract. The document stated rather explicitly that the watch was for “handsome guys” and that I would not be permitted to wear it if I was a “major uggo”. Whatever. I signed the contract and placed the order. What happened next was the truly unexpected...
Two days after placing the order, I received a knock on my door very late at night. I wish I could tell you what time it was, but I did not yet own the watch so it is impossible to say. I peered through my peephole and saw the figure of a tall man in a long coat. Slowly, I opened the door and asked him what he wanted. It’s then I noticed a wristwatch with the largest band I’d ever seen wrapped around his forehead. It was analog, so I couldn’t tell the time. The man introduced himself in a voice so quiet his words were almost drowned out by the ticking of his pretentious headwatch. “I’m with Casio,” he says. Or maybe “Dime sith mass E oh”. Hard to say. Still confused, I asked him again what he wanted. It was then that things took a turn for the worse.
Uninvited, he stepped into my home and grabbed my face with his cold, dry, watch-tuning fingers. I tried to resist and found my body unresponsive. I’ve later theorized that his stupid, unreadable headwatch was in some way hypnotic and temporarily robbed me of my senses. By the dim porch light, he jerked my head around, carefully but methodically inspecting every angle of my face. It obviously wasn’t the first time he’d conducted this sick facial analysis.
Suddenly, he stopped. With me still immobile and deathly frightened, he took a step back, gave me one final, fleeting check and muttered “Acceptable. Seven out of ten.” Having said this, he promptly tapped the dial on his gaudy headwatch and I fell to the ground, exhausted and overwhelmed by my experience, but released from his spell.
The next thing I knew, it was morning and someone was calling for me. “Sir? Sir? Are you okay?” I looked up and saw my door was agape and the mail person stood above me, package in hand. Embarrassed to have been defeated by the mysterious man and his unfashionable watch, I simply nodded and began to stand. Obviously unsettled, the mail person handed me the package as I rose and told me to have a good day. It was my watch! And boy, what a watch it is!
The moral of the story is this: the watch is incredible, and at $20 perhaps the finest entry-level watch money can buy.
However, potential buyer, I caution you this: if you are any less than a 6.5 or 7 out of 10, don’t kid yourself. Perhaps you’ve got more a F91W or G-Shock type of face, and that’s nothing to feel bad about. Not everyone can be handsome! Just be careful - I’ve heard the watchman and his hideous headwatch do not look kindly upon the unattractive.

This is my second Casio wrist watch. And i tell you, Casio is one of the best watch makers in the world for a reason. I had been using a Casio Gshock for more than 15 years and it is still working (even under sea water), but decided to get a new one since the other one looks old and decolored. Well, this one looks pretty, it resists to water and is as precise as the Gshock!. It is also very light, you barely feel you're wearing it. Casio keeps winning at making low cost/high quality watches and i hope they keep doing it for decades.
So beautiful, so shiny, so simple, so cheap!
