I got an email this morning from ASOS saying that they were now carrying the Casio W86-1V watch with the infamous Illuminator technology. This exact model was my very first watch when I was a kid and I fondly remember it lasting a very long time and holding up to lots of use. In fact, I still have this very same watch in my closet and I’m tempted to get it out and replace the battery in order to bring life to it again. Unfortunately, this hot item is already sold out at ASOS, but you can pick it up for cheaper at Amazon.com
(price: $12.95).

I don’t often wear a watch on my wrist. In fact, I haven’t actually owned that many watches in my lifetime. The last time I can remember wearing a watch was back in 2003/2004 when my ex-girlfriend gave bought me this Swatch watch that I had been eyeing at the time. I wore that one for a little bit but eventually put it away. Other than that watch, the only other watch I can remember wearing was this really basic Casio digital watch (it was this one, if my memory is correct).
Anyway, with the frequent use of my cellphone, the need for a watch to tell time has pretty much gone out the window. But lately, I’ve found myself wanting to know the time quickly and sometimes getting to my cellphone is just too much of a hassle (it’s easier to just ask somebody). I just can’t be bothered to take it out of my bag just to figure out the time. So I bought a watch. A damn good watch too. A classic G-Shock timekeeper — for $30.
Initial thoughts? Best watch that $30 can buy. Simply classic and definitely a quality build.
If you want one too, the classic G-Shock is still on sale at Amazon.com for $30. That’s pretty much as cheap as it gets for this watch. Better take advantage of this deal now.
