  • I think the Casio A158WA-1 is the best minimalist watch you can buy. And before you come at me saying this is not minimalist, minimalism for me is not just about aesthetics!
    I've had this watch for 7 years now, I purchased it for less than $20, and I haven't even had. tochange the battery. It's been with me on hikes, music festivals, underwater, pretty much everywhere.

      ​@@tarunsaiiI think they're both impressive. A ton of work had to go into making the quartz clock, and that's impressive to me. While they may be cheap and easy to make now, they're still complex and took a great deal of effort to perfect.

    I love watches, but nothing compares to the elegance and performance of Casio. I've been using a Casio Sheen 3008D for the past 14 years, and it's still impeccable. I've also have a G-Shock GMA-S140 using it for the past 8 years now. My obsession with Casio continues, as today I bought an A700WM and need a quick tutorial on adjusting the date and time, therefore landed here and I can't help but agree with others about Casio's quality.
