- 0cf8612b2e1e 2y ago$128 is really pushing the limit for what seems like a kitsch novelty. Were it a third of the price, I could see myself picking it up for my watch aficionado friend.
- sss111 2y agoBlame Inflation :/ That said, Casio novelties do hold their value surprisingly well. For example, just by wearing my Gravitymaster, I’ve already “earned” $130 as the resell value has shot up.
- Cumpiler69 2y ago>Blame Inflation :/ N'ah mate, I feel Casio is also quite cheeky with their pricing for what is essentially mass produced budget commodity 80's tech made in China from cheap plastics. Here in Europe most of their basic watches (excluding the F91W) are over 40+ Euros and all they do is show time/date on a cheap LCD display with poor viewing angles in a plastic resin shell who's paint rubs off after a couple of years. Meanwhile for that price you can get an Xiaomi smart band with OLED display, gorilla glass, Bluetooth, vibration, heart-rate sensor, and it even tells time. Casio's profits must be crazy good on those watches. I wish they would sell more models in metal casings like in the 80's and with updated internals with more functionality.
- GeoAtreides 2y ago> kitsch novelty you mean limited release collectable?
- michelb 2y agoYou should see what the Timex limited edition ring goes for now. I bet you can flip this Casio for a nice multiple as well.
