Casio won during the small competition organized in small watch between friends by Xavier. In two words pretty little colorful casio and very glossi I did not expect it at all. A little candy like many vintage casio. On the other hand I do not think that it can be worn every day unlike a resin f91 because the chrome of the case is all the same light.

A vintage Casio 593 W-79 that I have had for almost 30 years and that was given to me by my dad when I was a child. My very first watch that I have always kept and that works like the first day. I change the battery myself and the watch starts again for several years. The little extra: the button at the top left to light up the screen!

You can get a geek chic look at a low cost, with the only constraint being to change the original strap for a tobacco-colored leather one. The Casio A171WEMB-1AEF offers us a sober dial, far from the exuberance of the brand when it seeks to seduce a young audience. Here we are in good taste, 36mm black dial, without overload of information, minimalist let's say it. Comfortable, this Casio, and which will not fail to indicate to the people you meet, that you like SF and the 80s, without sacrificing style and good manners.

Today, I'm going to tell you about a small Casio, certainly not the best known but which deserves your attention.

This is one of my favorite watches that I wear very often despite more expensive models. Any flaws? Yes, there are definitely some... The acrylic glass is resistant to breakage but which quickly got scratched... admittedly during a DIY session... The very small LCD screen requiring good eyesight and finally The LED lighting that illuminates ONLY the LCD dial... too bad But there is one thing I will tell you to convince you to have this little tool watch is the price: 46 euros!!!!

This is the W-59-1VQ model. This little watch goes everywhere and is very useful to me, in my precise timing during my daily work (simple, efficient, and reliable are its qualities). It is discreet, light and above all its price is very funky!! It also reminds me of my early childhood discovering the passage of time... A Casio one day, a Casio always...

Here is my first watch, a daily that I have had for 5 years, this Casio Vintage has: hour minute second, date day, a chronograph and an alarm, LED for night reading, all for only 30€, note that you can enhance it with an 18mm leather strap, mine is a vintage leather strap found for only 2€
