Cartier Santos 100 Unisex Watch W20126X8
As you get to be my age, it is difficult to find the products that defined a category still in production. The new replacements often have modifications that in my mind make them inferior to the originals. Sometimes it appears as though the new product was designed by someone who has actually never used one in “real life.” Typically, I am forced Cartier Santos W20126X8 to access the pre-owned market to get what I want. Not in this case. The Casio Men’s G-shock Classic Digital Watch is very similar to the watch that replaced the stop watch, the dry land and not-so dry land wrist watch, and alarm clock a couple of decades ago. It has just enough functionally to be truly useful – time (24 or 12 hour), date (helps when filling out those forms that are becoming part of daily life), alarm (for those early morning activities), stop watch (for that interval training necessary to retain some of the speed of youth), and a couple of other things that have slipped my mind
all in a small and durable package. Good, inexpensive, tough, useful watch.
This is my favorite G-shock watch, it is not atomic, not solar….but the battery lasts years and the watch is just about indestructible. The band keeper will go, but you can replace that with a cable tie….if the watch is in the water and sun a lot eventually the case plastic will crack….but this watch keeps on going….it is not gaudy like some of the Casio watches…it’s appearance is understated….you could get by wearing this watch anywhere….buy it…you won’t be sorry
Sadly, my 20-year-old Casio G Shock watch has finally died. I bought it for diving in 1988, and I’ve used it so many times over the years. Since I’m a woman, I was teased for wearing such an “undainty” watch, but when you use it for sports/outdoors, who’s looking to be dainty? I highly recommend this watch, and I’m surprised that something good is still being offered! If you’re looking for a quality, economical, tough watch, do not hesitate to buy this one!
Had the cheap version of this watch for 15 years – it went snorkeling, swimming, diving – never had any problem, even though it was not rated for snorkeling/diving – band finally broke while kayaking and watch is somewhere in Kern river, probably still keeping time. Upgraded to this version, which appears to be a ruggedized version. Haven’t really had it long enough to rate it, but on the basis of past experience with its lesser cousin, I think it’s going to be a great buy.
