First I have a box full of Casios. Then I have one from each: Baume&Mercier, Delma, Zeppelin, Edox, Citizen, Seiko, Frederique Constant, Timex, Dan Henry and a Blakes.
You sound a lot like me, I also have trouble with spending a lot of money on a watch because I could do something smarter with it.
Did I imply that watches are an invenstment? If yes, then it was not my intention.
Now i see it. Because the shadow makes it look like the strap from the MRW200: https://www.casio.com/de/watches/casio/product.MRW-200H-1BV/
A healthy mix betwen price/affordability, design and quality(for whatever price I pay of course). The brand doesnt matter too much.
Edit: I have to like the look of the watch as well, of course.
