It's fun to be a Casio fan. I rediscovered the classic 5600E (https://gshock.com/watches/digital/dw5600e-1v https://gshock.com/watches/digital/dw5600e-1v) a few years ago and was thrilled to be in a position to afford what I only got to admire behind the jewelry cases as a kid. Then I discovered the community of G-Shock modders and collectors. There is something very special about Casio watches that is hard to describe. In some sense I feel they take on the platonic form of a digital timepiece. And they're cheap (although they have special ed. titanium models that resell for >$2K). It's true that they are conversation starters among other fans. The original G-Shock watch released in 1984 was designed with an aim at the "triple 10" concept. That is, the battery should last 10 years, be able to survive a 10-meter drop and be water resistant to 10 bars.
