My brand spanking new Casio F-105. It is only less than a day, but I like it so far. ๐Ÿ˜˜

Last time I wore a digital watch was decades ago.

Here's the electro-luminescent backlight. Can you tell I'm not used to take photo in the dark? ๐Ÿ˜…

That Casio is practically indestructible. Light, efficient; seriously one of my favorite watches of all time!

I was looking for an alternative for Casio F-91W and this model came up. Good thing I chose this too, because larger models will appear comical on my wrist.

Where do you buy watches like this these days?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Casio has a store locator online! & obv you can purchase online from many different sites! For Japanese only models, you can find reputable seller websites, like Sakura watches, or eBay.

I would be in heaven if Casio would make this exact watch but with the ability to do a vibration and show a little bell icon on the display when you get a notification on your phone. No fancy pants smart watch functions just a regular old Casio that can alert you when you get a notification. I know this isn't really possible because adding Bluetooth would decimate the battery, but I'm so disillusioned with all the smart watches that have full color displays and a million features I never use when all I really want is to tell time and be alerted to notifications without hearing a sound.

Gadgetbridge works with some Casio models.
