I used to collect/accumulate Casio G-Shocks. They have a fun origin story, designed around a "Triple-10" concept in 1983: survive a ten-meter drop, waterproof down to ten bar, and have a battery life of at least ten years. https://www.fratellowatches.com/evolution-of-the-casio-g-shock-watches/ https://www.fratellowatches.com/evolution-of-the-casio-g-sho... There's a regular online joke that the watch is more survivable than its user. While the brand has gone all-in on new modern designs and loud limited editions, Casio still makes a faithful direct descendant of that original G-Shock for around $50, that's certified for NASA flight. They make mid-market models with solar and radio-controlled time adjustment for $120 that look exactly the same, but will never run out of battery or have the wrong time. And for true collectors, they make $4,000 models that look... exactly the same, but in hardened, blackened titanium instead of rubber.
