The terrorist association comes from Casio electronic watches being extremely cheap, and optimal for making bomb timers with. Pic related is the watch of choice for bomb-makers and there are pictures of Osama Bin Laden wearing one. Its something like ten or fifteen dollars.

To answer your original question, sure. Just like any piece of clothing or accessory, they can be effay, although it really comes down to how you wear it. I have a very similar watch (not Casio but gets mistaken for one) and I usually pair it with some shorts, low-top sneakers, a white tee or short sleeve button down and a Polo hat. I've gotten several compliments on both the outfit and the watch.

As for which colour you should get, if you're black or have darker/tan skin, gold is okay. If you're pale or otherwise white, get one in silver. Hope this helps.

I don't usually wear a wrist watch because my job prohibits it, but after reading about these cheap casios I thought I'd invest in a few. I'm looking to get a black resin one, a brown leather one and a metal one. I've narrowed it down to these, any thoughts?

TBH, I'd prefer a Casio myself, had they still be making them in metal cases, and fuck the sapphire. These new models look absolutely disgusting in person, plastic case looks bad even when they're new, to the point it looks weird with its own bracelet.

So it's either Junghans (I'd rather they were more modest about their logo though) or digging ebay for vintage.

Good thing is digital watch is not on top of my list.

Suunto and Garmin are different class of devices to me.

>> No.10166822

>>10166808
I mostly agree, this is why I bought (and posted) >>10166122 because it's the only digital watch I found which doesn't look stupid, has a mineral crystal and a metal (alloy) casing. the only thing I wanna do is change the bracelet because it's not that good but the watch itself was very cheap and it's a great deal quality wise compared to plastic Casios since those cost more.

Okay here's the dealio

I want a watch either like OP's pic, >>10164702, or silver. I think gold would be cool but also gaudy. I'm white so maybe gold would look bad with my skin anyways. I would describe my style as part palewave, part light (?) streetwear (no heavy branding, or any at all) and a bit comfycore. Which should I cop?

that goes without saying. I'd take a Seiko watch any day over a still pretty unknown brand. I was just posting the TP Timepiece model because it is readily available and cheap. you won't find vintage digitals by Seiko so easily and then pay the asked price.

>> No.10167037

I'd say something like this is a good deal, price, style and condition wise: http://m.ebay.com/itm/SEIKO-Digital-LCD-Chronograph-A158-5080-5060-T-vintage-TOP-Zustand-/321814113248?nav=SEARCH - again, if I were into these things. Or I'd try some Soviet clones if I had to go for cheaper options.

It's not that I can buy old digital watches for more than 200 EUR right and left, but if I was putting together a definite look, I'd rather get these and then some cheaper pants and tees to compensate.

on paper its definitely a nerdy watch. i personally don't think i fit that bill based on how i dress, talk and whatever, and i really like having both analog and digital info from my watch. its a little bit bulky, but i'm trying to switch the resin band to leather to achieve something with a customized feeling so im not too basic ;) ;)
