Yes, I have a casio f-91w. Looks casual as fuck. It looks like the black casio pictured. My phone does fast as fuck so it's nice to have a backup. Watches are making a comeback. Don't get anything flashy or you'll look like a try hard

Only if the watch is handmade and of heirloom quality. Rolex/Omega/Tag owners are wanna-be horophiles who wear mass produced garbage that is sold in shopping malls. If you can't afford a legitimate complication, don't bother wearing anything.

Picked up the silver casio on the left.
I was looking at $200 japanese watches and saw this for $15 on amazon instantly purchased. Simplest watch from my childhood remains purposeful to this day. Figured I'd revisit wearing a watch on the cheap before dropping fake ass currency for something that doesn't make sense anymore. Wearing a watch has merit.

Watches are more or less a fashion statement now. Albeit the least gay fashion statement. That being said, there still are some legimate, manly professions where a watch is necessary.

Watches don't run out of battery easily, so you don't accidentally go look at the hour and find out you're out of batteries.

Cellphones aren't allowed in certain environments while watches are.

I was given an old 'Vostok' watch made in the soviet union, apparently from the 50's/60's defence ministry. Still works like a charm, only wear it on special occasions

Vostock watches were the Soviet Rolex. Now you can get them new for $40.

I have two Vostoks. Both pre 80s. The one was made for export so it has English text and the other has the classic Cyrillic. Picked up both on eBay for 20 each. Not bad. I like the simplicity and that old school feel with out the price tag. I believe the one was a gift because I'm the back it has a bunch of custom engraving on it. To hard to read after so many years of wear especially since it's in Cyrillic. I'm gonna pick up another one but one of the "dive ones". My third watch is just an old school military illuminox that i wear hiking and shit. Overall the Vostoks, Poljot, etc. are great piece of history that you can wear without the price tag.
