I am saving to get me some nice: Protrek PRG models . . .
LIKE:
Casio Protrek PRG 240 1-1A :
The evolution of PROTREK never stops. These new models embody some of the very best in functional beauty and ease of operation that modern technology has to offer.
• The rotary bezel is specially shaped for easy operation, even while wearing gloves. Large letters indicating north, south, east, and west are colored for easy reading.
• Dedicated direction, barometer, and altitude buttons provide one-touch access to measurements. Buttons are large with slanted diamond patterns for plenty of slip resistance during operation.
• Since "easy to press" often also means "more operation error", the back cover is designed to make it the same height of the button surfaces, which greatly reduces the chance of operation error. The result is easy button operation, but only when you need it to be.
The number of pointer lines has been increased from 60 to 72 for easier to read World Time and sunrise times. TOUGH SOLAR ensures stable operation even when using power-hungry functions.

My wife's wanting to buy a watch as bday gift. She's not thought of Casio. These won't like them. I know.
By the way, Bear Grylls will like the MUDMAN.
Posted by *Jojo*
@Tranced - Yup, only "athletic" ladies will appreciate the beauty of the CASIO watch
Those who are heavily into sports. Actually the reason I started buying this - brand/series of models is when I saw yuppies at the mall wearing them paired with their - jeans and rubber shoes. Executives (who wore business suits) also wear this rubberized watch. You can easily spot a Casio watch in the crowd coz they always comes in different colors. Famous are: Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow, White and Red.
The Casio Aviator series is one of Casio's nice models too.
Casio Aviator G-1200B-1A :
From G-SHOCK! Introducing a new collection of aviation concept watches designed to defy high G forces.
A 1/100-second stopwatch is designed to keep accurate time even under the stresses of high G's that occur during air racing.
The dual-layer face creates a dramatic three-dimensional effect for the three dials.
The large face is carefully laid out to provide the look and readability of an aircraft instrument panel.
Large metal side buttons are designed and engineered for ease of operation.
At the same time, buttons are enclosed by protectors that protect against damage and accidental operation.
Bands are fastened on both sides with stainless steel screws for plenty of durability.

Posted by tranced
Do you wear it in its current state? You might get it lost. You'll spend more then.
Posted by *Jojo*
@Tranced - Yup, same here. Had my first Casio digital rubber strapped watch when I was in elementary (grade 4), around in - 1980
. Bought it from the Christmas gift (money) that I received . Buying this kind of watch is NOT that expensive coz you'll be only using it - casually. Though they also have this metal-strapped watches. The Casio Edifice-series (which usually are in - CHRONOGRAPH design) that you can wear in formal occasions, and it does not cost so much, cheapest is only around US$ 110.00.

@miss UK - am very BUSY @ FaceBook during the past years (4 and running). Whizkidd of India sent me the BAD news about: Masseur days ago so I hurriedly logged in at my former 2nd home and wrote on his - thread. Well anyway, you have a nice Casio watch a Baby watch at that, looks like it has a metal-strap
ladies at my end (even executive ones) wear the same model that you have when they go to work.
I miss my old friends here seriously, you included. I hope all is well with you. Btw, how's your Mom and sister? are you married now?
@Tranced - people who want to go IN STYLE and does not being bothered MUCH by the BRAND of watch they have on their wrist will surely buy a Casio. I did not bother looking at this watch everytime I go to the mall back then . . . but when I saw peeps wearing this so rugged and very much appealing type of watch at the mall then I've decided that it's time to get me one. I remember seein' a Casio watch with: CAMERA and GPS some time in 2000 but still cost so much then, US$ 250.00. But they are one of the very first who released a watch with that kind of features
Posted by *Jojo*
@miss UK - I used to wear SWATCH watches too then. But considering it's price which is almost the same of that of CASIO's, then I would definitely go with the latter. Though I have to admit that SWATCH watches are SWISS-made while the Casio uses only - Japan Movement/Technology in it's - watch. But still, it's very DURABLE

Casio G - Shock FROGMAN - GWF 1000 :
G Shock Frogman
Casio G-shock is one of the brands of watches manufactured by CASIO. Produced and introduced back in 1983 when Casio engineers taking on the challenge of creating the world's toughest watch ever. G-shock has been the most democratic watch off all Casio collections since then, even today 26 year later.
What makes Casio G-Shock watch are very different from all other watches primarily because of their durability and its resistance to shocks of any kind, knocks, vibrations, falls, even in the extreme temperature condition, visually stunning, yet stealth in its appearance. Casio G-Shock watch designed primary for sports and outdoor adventure oriented activity, so much almost all G-Shock watch featuring stopwatch and countdown timer, light and also water resistant. Not only that, G-Shock soon adopted various new sensors, solar-powered radio-controlled technology, and new materials (steel or titanium) for even better durability.
Twice a year, the basic G-shock models ar updated with more cool feature and unique design. G-Shock is very popular with paramedics, police, astronauts, firefighters and soldiers. According to Mark Bowden, the author of Blackhawk Down book, the DELTA Operators wore G-Shock watches during the combat events. Since then, G-Shock has become very popular with Special Forces groups in many countries, due to their being "battle tested".
One of the more democratic watches in this Casio Watches collection is "Master of G" series. Master G is a special series of G-Shock models for special extreme uses. The Master of G series began in 1985 with the G-Shock DW-5500C. This was a classic square G-Shock, but the bezel contained softer parts and slipped over the buttons and covered by a seal of rubber. This way Casio created a mud and dirt resistant structure. The DW-5500C was therefore nicknamed Mudman. Among of the most popular watch model in Master G series is Frogman. The Frogman is specially intentional for Divers. The first G-Shock of the Frogman design was the DW-6300, released in 1993. The newest generation Frogman is the Tough Solar GW-200. Limited edition Frogman such as the Brazilian, Men in Yellow, Black Helios and Black Spots are some of the most worthy Frogman. In Japan, the Frogman is one of the most loved G-Shock types among collectors. Nowadays, the Frogman model has reached the fourth generation. Perhaps the Frogman model is the longest model produced by G-Shock along with the first G-Shock watch; DW-5600.
Casio has been creating a great quality timepiece over the years. They always employing the latest technology, and chronic to overstep conventional thinking about the watch, the G-shock brand have become Casio's flagship timepiece product and a dominant strength in the watch market.

I got myself this cheap Casio F-91W. Why would I want a P900 watch for? Well this is popularly known as the "TERRORIST WATCH". Why? Because trained Al Qaeda bombers from Afghanistan are given this watch as a symbol that they are expert bomb makers.
"The footnotes of the document explain that the Joint Task Force identifies the watch as "the sign of al-Qaida, (which) uses the watch to make bombs." It's known that the Casio would be given to trainees in Afghan terrorist training camps for this purpose, where the young men would be taught how to use the watches in the building of bomb detonators."

Now I must never forget NOT TO WEAR this watch when going to the airport!
