Do people still wear the terrorist watch in your country?
>>219271531casio isnt terroristand yea everyone here owns one for army/reserve duty. there was a massive trend of those silver/gold casios among foids too
>>219271531Looks like a nerd watch
>>219271531i remember wearing this around '98 or '99. it was probably a knockoff though
>>219271531I'm wearing it right now
>>219271531They're stylish, but I don't wear watches.
>>219271531my dad does
this one is cooler
>>219271616I have both silver/gold Casios and also planning to buy OP’s pic next time I go to some thirdie South American country, I got tons of compliments for my Casio compared to other watches I have. It’s a very timeless design and also incredibly functional when I am out at the bars with low lighting
>>219271531I used to have one of these as a kid, back when people using these were still seen as normal.
>>219273364older calculator casio design looks better this one is too curved
>>219271531Yes. It's atemporal
>>219274122F91w have an horrible backlight and they didn't fix it to this day. The problem with Casio is they have made awesome things in the past and now they're selling mostly shit of the past but worse for some models, which is ridiculous. Exception made for some Gshocks with good tech like solar and multiband.
>>219271531Yes, it allows me to subtely signal that I'm a based autist rather than a conformist normtard with a crApple watch o algo.
>>219274500It's the most conformist shit wearing this watch tho, since the 1990s.
>>219271616Same thing happens in Brazil. Foids always wear gold and silver Casio watches
>>219274625Women don't wear Casios
The Chinese have a saying: 穷玩车,富玩表,吊丝玩电脑
>>219274612IN the 1990s, maybe. Casios haven't been normie popular for over a decade. They all wear smartwatches now.
>>219274666Casio have a huge fanbase of normies, take a look at their fucking reddit. So yes it's very popular and not only to say fuck you to SW.
>>219274720Normies don't use reddit lmao
>>219274794Bro in what world do you live in
>>219274806Reddit is "more normie" than 4chan obviously, but that does not mean it's normie per se. True normies use Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok (in that order).Redditors are mostly just weird nerds, but anti-chuddy.
>>219274407I have the Silver A-168 and it’s been great so far, also scratched it quite a but but still barely noticeable, the backlight is great and haven’t needed a replacement sinceAnd also I used to have a Baby-G since I was 10 years old, still works and only had to replace the battery once 2 years ago, used it in the Army and when I worked outAlso pic related is my favorite model, A-700 with the brown strap, only wear it when I’m feeling extra classy>>219274896There is a huge class of normies on Reddit that use it purely for niche hobby forums, and also huge thirdie only subs in general too
Most people in Pernambuco use casio knock-offs and chinese smart watches, or just look at their phones.
>>219274985>There is a huge class of normies on Reddit that use it purely for niche hobby forumsIf they HAVE a niche hobby in the first place, then they are not a true normie, genius. Normies aren't into train-spotting lmao
>>219274806the world where r*ddit is just the weird SJW people who ruined all the gaming sites in the early 2000's so they needed somewhere else to go. those are incredibly strange and highly mentally ill people.
>>219274661There's definitely demand from women for work use too.
>>219275203Penis
>>219274985They're fancy, you can get a screen protector for a few shekels if you worry too much.
This watch never gets any buzz—was it really that unpopular among you guys?
>>219275101There’s tons of normie niche hobbies, stuff like bird watching, knitting, origami are all “niche” hobbies that are normoid-coded, unless your idea of “niche” is gooning to your own Shota cartoons kek>>219275051Why get knockoff ones when the originals are of great quality for the price? They are especially thirdie obtainable prices and last for years
>>219275101>normies aren't into train-spottingNormies have evolved to be parasites on things nerds in the past have always be proud of. The most common guy now have access to things it makes things extremely volatile and devalue the hobby itself.
>>219275383Looks like something navy fags would wearNormalfags always preferred the more simple Casios
>>219275413Availability and cost I guess, same as why the chinese prefer using the worst copy over an original.
>>219275413The knock-offs are pretty much just as resistant and go for about 1/3 or 1/4 of the price. I get that casios like those in OP are quite cheap but we have a big cheapstake culture over here, and it also has to do with supply. Fake casios can by found at any street market, corner store, stall, they sell them at bakeries and gas station. Real casios can only be found in watch stores, shopping malls, or online.
>>219275383Pro trek branch are not very popular everywhere, maybe a bit more in Japan and the US.
>>219275471It's a very manly watch.
>>219275856It's a very nice looking watch but I couldn't see myself wearing oneMaybe if I were in the military
>>219275585That's probably because Europe is home to numerous famous watchmakers.In Japan, the affordable G-Shock is positioned for children and young people, while Protrek is seen as a watch for adults and hobbyists.But nowadays, high-end G-Shock models are also sold, so the lines have blurred.
>>219276030No japanese watches like Orient, Citizen or Seiko are all very popular in Europe, nothing to do with luxury swiss watches a few can buy. Gshocks are also popular in Japan for sure including the less afordable branch MG, but it's far cheaper in your country due to taxes and other stuff.
>>219276159MR-G*
>>219275925I used it because I enjoy fishing and hiking, but it was so durable I wore it daily too.Honestly though, it was because I couldn't afford to buy multiple watches lolBut over the years it started feeling heavy, and I don't wear it outside of my hobbies anymore.I can't afford a high-end lightweight model either...
>>219276327Why do you need an expensive watch for hiking in the first place ? get a cheap lightweight watch you like and voilà.
>>219276159MRG-G1000 SeriesBased on the current exchange rate between the yen and the euro, it sells in Japan for approximately €1,650 to €3,850.Seiko's lower-priced products are likely manufactured at factories built in Europe.Import taxes are probably unavoidable to protect the country's manufacturing industry.
>>219276461Back in the day, you could buy one for around 150€.And it was incredibly handy—it wouldn't break even if you smashed it against a rock, and it could measure temperature, water temperature, air pressure, and more.
>>219276668>Seiko's lower-priced products are likely manufactured at factories built in EuropeNo they're all manufactured in China, movements and modules are all made in Japan though. Most straps are made in China to lower the cost as much as possible.
>>219276753>it could measure temperature, water temperature, air pressure, and moreIs it reliable ? I've seen it's far from perfect and demands calibration, you have to put the watch off the wrist to get the temperature right as far I've seen. Not really convince it's necessary on a watch IMO.
>>219276769Japanese companies are preparing to pull out of China, so prices might go up soon.
>>219276923I don't know if your industry could survive for international market without cheap labor, unless if they move to another shithole like India.
>>219276914When taking a measurement, I always remove it from my wrist and wait until the heat from my body has dissipated.When I bought the second one, I took the strap off the first one and attached it to my vest.Also, I don't think the readings are very accurate, but it constantly measured how much the air pressure changed.
>>219277069Alright that confirms what I've seen online.
>>219277063That's certainly true.But they probably think it's better than the current situation, where they're forced to comply with the Chinese government and have their technology stolen legally, or their equipment and assets confiscated.Incidentally, Suzuki's expansion into India seems to have been a success.
>>219277069I suppose it's good enough for an estimate but not for precise readings
>>219271531Mine’s strap broke a few months ago. Probably not suitable for tropical country. The flexible plastic/resin/oil strap degrades much quicker. Probably gonna try nylon strap to replace it.
>>219277180I'm not a fan of nylon straps, I sweat a lot and it becomes uncomfortable quickly
>>219277134Especially when river fishing, I measured it repeatedly.After nearly drowning several times in the river, I became more cautious.
>>219277153What mattered more than the accuracy of the numbers was how much they were changing.
>>219271531wearing it right now
>>219277340Yeah for accuracy you've your phone, but still I like the keep it simple, a cheap Gshock do the job well for outdoor activities.
>>219277340That's to be expected on a "general purpose" device, no? Unless it was deviating too much from the expected range
>>219277869There is a range of +- many degrees for accuracy but yeah it can't be precise on the wrist it's physically impossible with the captors. Even an easy thing like the compass could be fucked up on these watches, so the tech is not perfect.
>>219271616>says it's not a terrorist watch but goes on to say it's worn as standard by a whole army of terroristsya ben zona
>>219278125It's not "physically impossible" to have precision instruments in a watch but it would be prohibitively expensive
>>219278756Of course it is impossible to have exact reads on a watch, same as health status on a SW. Hell, even the calibration of time isn't perfect with an atomic watch even it's if set everyday. On a regular day, a quartz deviate from a few milliseconds for most of them. But that's another story.
move along incelschad passing through
>>219271531I bought a $20 casio like pic related. It lasted me for 16 years. Best twenty bucks I ever spent.
>>219274666>>219274794>>219274896>using the term normie>saying reddit isn’t normalfag centralpeak irony
>>219271531Yes I own 2 of them. I use one of them as a clock in my office. as you can see ive got it pinned on my corkboard. The other one has a yellow band instead of a blue one. I saw a brass one of these in London one time in a mall. I should have bought it, it was only like 20 bucks.
>>219281629Actually the correct term is normgroids. Lurk two more years before trying again.
>>219271531Yeah sure it's cheap and reliable
>>219281689That's unsual, why don't you get an atomic wall clock instead ?
>>219277063There is a Japanese colony in India that does not allow tourists because it is private property and you need to be invited into these Japan Towns in Indiahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_people_in_India
>>219282004idk. its too big to have a clock in my face right at my desk. i had this extra watch and did this when i unlocked my taskbar
>>219282072Based.
>>219281689you've been waiting years for someone to ask you about that haven't you? just get a normal wall clock, weirdo.
no I have a rolex
I wear this
>>219283037*laugh in Patek Philippe*
The problem is that I'd love a simple watch like a Casio F91w but I do actually need a watch with at least a step count so I can keep to a minimum standard of activity.Then if you look for a Casio with a step count you end up paying a premium for a basic feature. And if you want to use cheap shit on AliExpress then it's a pain to connect with my nutrition app. Plus most knock-off smart watches look like complete shit on a date or when you need to wear a suit at work.I suffer.
>>219283304You don't need that shit bro, specially on a fucking watch. Move and eat well without monitoring your things and have fun.
>>219283402>You don't need that shit broCounterpoint: I've never been healthier because it allows me to engage a 'tism that supports health outcomes.
>>219283302I have a pp as well as a couple omegaswant to get a panerai but can’t find a nice one locally
>>219282897its a watch pinned to a board its not that crazy
>>219271531I wear it at the gym to time rests between sets
I wear a casio a168 I like it because it's useful and small I'm a wristlet so anything bigger than 38mm looks gross on me like a kid wearing a gshock. I have an automatic diver as well but telling the time and date is just easier on my casio, and the backlight is better than the lume at least for me, it still kind of looks like a toy watch nobody takes me seriously with it but I wear it for myself, too bad it's getting discontinued thoughever.
I want a fake Panerai
I'm wearing one at the moment with a green NATO strap.I do wouldnt mind a gold one but I'm not going to buy a second watch.
>>219275413>>219275443normies by definition do not have hobbies
>>219271714Damn unc how old are you?
>>219281384I really like the look of that
>>219271531No, I wear this
>>219288824And this
>>219275106>>219275443holy trvth supernova
>>219288824What strap is it ?
>>219288243What are you talking about ? You're mixing NPCs with normies I guess, of course normies have all kind or hobbies, they live for the sake of normality.
>>219283922What's your pp size buddy, must be like the speed of your Ferraris.
>>219271531I never got into accessories on the arm, I always wash my hands so accessories get in the way, I've never wore accessories in any part of my body.
>>219289979You can easily wash your hands with a watch tho.
I use one, got it for telling the time while out surfing, for 20 eurobucks you really cant do much better
>>219271531I'm wearing it right now. It gween.
>>219290255Looks like your battery is off, time to get another one. Don't forget to reset the watch after that.
>>219290299What makes you think that? Look at the filename, it's only 13 seconds off.
>>219274240I have this one. My only gripe is that it doesn't have a light.
>>219289833The one it came with, though I wouldn't mind having a normal nato one as well
>>219290376That's a strange strap fake leather for a Seiko, it is an original ?
>>219271531The most normie middle-of-the-road watch thrre is.
>>219271531i used 94w variant when i was in service
>>219292596We don't have much of Timex in Europe, it's really an American thing.
>>219292638What would be the European equivalent? A very normie watch that doesn’t really stand out in any way and is affordable?
>>219271531For me it was pic related. Had an older and simpler one but can't remember the model.
>>219292665There is no "cheap" European watch market, all we have is made in China. The equivalent for a Timex is anything you can get an Amazon I guess.
