Which one would you choose?
I felt like I needed to round out my growing collection with some classic Casio watches (I found the photo on the web. So far I only owned G-Shock and a Pro Trek, all of which I love). I searched through the Casio database and was overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices, current and vintage. In the end, I went with my gut and chose three that really appealed to me. I think I chose wisely, but what's your opinion?

I bought an affordable Casio recently and I decided to go with an A700-1ACF. In addition to the cool retro aesthetic, love how trim and light weight it is. At 6mm thick, it's the thinnest digital watch that Casio makes.
When I'm in the market for another Casio, I'll probably save up for one of the nicer watches from their Oceanus series.
Wow. I can't choose! All are good! I think you should get all of them! LOL
They are all good and they are all cheap. Get them all.
I found one of those illuminator pieces in all fire engine red with a red strap. It may be the most obnoxious watch own. That is my vote.
W800 would be my vote. $15-$20, 37mm case, 100m water resistance, easiest to read display.

I did buy them all!! I’m traveling on business right now and all three are waiting for me at home. Just wanted to know which one others would pick.
I would go crazy, and get the full flex Casio:

I really love the display on this watch!
The other pictured, the F-91W.

I have the same watch. It would almost be a perfect watch if it wasn’t for the plastic case. I would even be happy with base metal. I just don’t get Casio’s decision to do this. Even SKMEI offers a base metal variant homage of this at a comparable price.
MRW-200H. For the price, I think this is one of the best.
Start with the Casio Royale (AE-1200) and the F-91W. They are so cheap and good quality for the price you're gonna end buying a lot of them, you'll see.
I got the F91W because it reminded me of my childhood. My next would be the Bond worldtime, for the cool factor.
I just bought a worldtime at Walmart for $14.90, so it gets my vote.
