The battery of a 20$ Casio F-91W alone, will outlive several Apple watches. While I'm with you in spirit, I'm not sure that's strictly accurate. The F-91W battery is rated for 10 years: https://support.casio.com/storage/en/manual/pdf/EN/009/qw593.pdf https://support.casio.com/storage/en/manual/pdf/EN/009/qw593... The calculator version (which I use) is rated for three years, assuming you only let the alarm go off for 20 seconds per day, and use the calculator function for less than one hour per day: https://support.casio.com/storage/en/manual/pdf/EN/009/qw3208.pdf https://support.casio.com/storage/en/manual/pdf/EN/009/qw320...

You must be fun at parties. CASIO is known, and I can vouch for this from experience, to be very conservative with their numbers: with a quality cell 7 year battery life usually means about 10, 3 year battery life usually means around 5, 30m water resistance usually means over 50m in practice, 30seconds/month accuracy usually means around 10 or even less, etc.

  Dude, we're all nerds. None of us are fun at parties. No need for the sarcasm!

> The F-91W battery is rated for 10 years What would you consider the average life of an Apple Watch? If it's 5 years, OP is right.

  What would you consider the average life of an Apple Watch? If it's 5 years, OP is right. I'd say the Apple Watch is too new for anyone to know. I still use my six-year-old Apple Watch.

Clearly the selling point of F-91W is the price. I think most owners are comfortable with roughhousing their F-91W and just buying a new one

use the calculator function for less than one hour per day I really want to meet a person who is hammering away at the calculator function on their watch for more than an hour per day. That would clearly be the coolest person in the world.

  I think people with calculator watches are way cooler in a sea of people with smartwatches.
