I said they have models that are, like this one.
Not all Casio watches are built like G-Shocks either...
Also, Timex Indiglo is better and more widespread in the Timex line that the electroluminescence used in Casio watches.
Water resistance is 99% a marketing fluff spec. A digital watch doesn't need strong shock resistance, your wrist can't take more than what a normal digital watch can take.
Again, I'm not saying Casio is bad. I'm saying Timex is every bit as good, particularly when you step back from the G-Shock myth and look at how watches are actually used in the real world.
Timex makes watches equivalent to G-Shocks, and G-Shocks aren't functionally more durable than most digital watches.
I'm not saying Casio watches are bad, I'm just saying they aren't magically better because of the brand name on the dial.
Watches are an accessory, they simply add to something else, the man in this case.
A well paired watch adds to a look, and a poorly paired watch detracts from it.
In the case of the "the clothes make the man", it works because the clothing is more than an accessory, the clothing is the obvious marker of status or profession.
In fairness, I don't worry about the second hand hitting every marker(mine happens to be very close/right on all of them), and as long as the bezel turns/lines up, and doesn't get knocked around easily, I don't worry about the "feel". So I guess it all comes down to expectations and what we value.
I was worried it would be a cheap watch that felt cheap to handle, but that has not been my experience.
