Seems like a low price for a G-Shock. Says it qualifies for free international delivery so I'm guessing it's an import. Battery powered not solar. Not a historically low price but still pretty good.
CamelCamelCamel.
Classic watch 💯
From amazon comments
It's the watch your dad had in 1989. It is cool for this fact because you are now the same age as your dad in 1989. You never understood this basic watch in your younger years since you always wanted a Rolex or Omega. You always wanted a Lamborghini or Ferrari too but guess what? You are older and drive a paid off Camry and just like that Camry this little beauty is the most practical thing ever and can probably survive WWIII. It can get beat up, neglected, you can leave it on at the neighbor's pool party and it will always be there to tell you happily that lunch time is in 10 minutes.Yeah 10 minutes can you believe that the morning went so quick for a Tuesday? Also remember it is now March. Yeah February kinda flew by right? It is a certain confidence that lets the world know you aren't compensating for any lack of character. It's not even solar. Keep of the light button and the battery will last 11 years no problem but, you will probably drop it on a cruse before then and have a archaeologist in 3789 C.E. find it in the now drained ocean and think it is a ancient symbol of our god 'Casio'. Yeah it is tougher than nails. And yes button 'A' is recessed more than the other buttons so your grubby mitts won't accidentally hit it and engage the 'change time' mode and eff up you perfectly synced quartz Feng Shui. Casio has got you bro.

Does this have radio frequency?
Ez pz fix with a pi mini and antenna
I guess that still qualifies as a “wearable”?

For context - I'm OCD about time pieces not being accurate at all times for 0 reason whatsoever haha
@purelysam: That's pretty cool.
One day I'll get around to building an accurate wall clock: https://mitxela.com/shop/clock
As opposed to adjusting twice a year for daylight savings - only 1min 45secs out 😃.
It's got the 33kHz frequency built right in
back in 2011?
it was also cheaper in 1996.
Take it further to 1989 , when you could buy a house in a capital state where a single income family 2 kids could buy a modest house within a handful of years
Thank the governments for printing money and decreasing or purchasing power.
Need one with calculator.
I have decided I want to be buried with my DBC611G-1D (gold Casio calculator Watch).
Thank you. This is a fannymagnet.
Someone tell me why I just bought this…
Because it’s a good deal for a classic watch you can pass onto your kids/grandkids/ great grandkids?
Like me you are also trying to fill a void in your life/ justify working by buying material objects?
Thank you, purchase vindicated.
That second reason is why I am here.
- Because it’s a good deal for a classic watch you can pass onto your kids/grandkids/ great grandkids?
Sorry to break it to you: Full auto-calendar is only to year 2099.
by now, justify later…ozbargain mantra
Which is better, this or the solar version?
Well battery on this will last you about 10 years and cost like $6 to get it fitted off if you’re not hands on inclined?
the solar version have some extra functions like world time and multiple alarms.
can't remember the exact details, but I am sure there are some website or youtube video which has the comparison.
This watch was considered ugly and cheap looking 20 years ago.
great for people who didn't give a stuff back then, or now, for that matter
It's retro/nostalgia thing. Same goes for the F91W. Digital watches were a dime a dozen in the 80s. There were hundreds of models and a lot more brands than just Casio. The F91W was just lucky enough to become a cult classic.
Waiting for under $65 or $60
$60 is under $65.
I meant under $65 or under $60. Like last deal which was around $58 on Amazon US.
Under $60 is still under $65.
@Munki: Okay how about I say under $60 only for an ozbargain worthy deal.
It is under $80 nearly all the time from Amazon US..
Overpriced.
Wonder what's the deal here.
It's this price often
I have a atomic solar Casio G-Shock I got back in 2007 It still looks new. Insane good watch.
