It is often said that watches are the only jewelry for men. Strictly speaking not true of course, but the mixed effect of gadget and showoff, makes watches an attractive way of spending money for a lot of people. I am one of them. The minute I heard the words "you are not supposed to have only one watch", the words made sense to me and I have wasted a lot of money since.
Most of them on Diesel watches, but there is an oldtimer which is so 80s in design that it now counts as retro-fancy: The Casio F105. It has the basics for a digital watch: Time, date and stop-watch, is very light (only 24g) and still cheap enough so that you dare actually use It. it is "water resitant Rank II" which means that splashes or rain is not a problem (no swiming) and has background light. Thats it. Plain and simple - no bullshit. Or as the watch salesman said: "Its the VW Beetle of watches".
