My new Casio MN-100

It is very very small so I have donated to my son.

Oh great, remind me how my Dad never gave me a watch.
Seriously that is very cool! How old is your boy? It is kind of funny, I see more and more teenagers wearing watches. Seems they only had to fall out of the broader public's eye for a short while, to become "novel" again.

I though for SURE the cell phone was going to kill the watch.

He is 11. TBH he likes anything! I could pick any watch at random on ebay and he would think it is cool. But he is very partiular about the comfort of straps.

I like the watch, but it just looks like a ladies watch on me. Going by the way the strap is attached I'd say it might have been sold as a ladies watch?

Cool watch Kabong. And I see what both you and Ed are seeing - the youth seem to be ga-ga over LCD's. They especailly like those Casio F91's Huertecilla mentioned as well as other Casio reissues including the solar AL-180. Even my little 3 year old wants to wear that one.
I guess it's part of the retro '80's craze. As a digital-watch-fanatic, I'm all for it.

yeah, cool looking watch

i gave my 7yr old son my old analog seiko some time ago, because i wanted him to learn to tell the time with that style of watch before getting a digital for him.
cheers

Yeah, my son has some old analogues too. He has a nice Seiko 5.

This Casio has just stopped working! I will get a battery for it, just waiting for my local place to get stock in.

When you unscrew the case back, the strap bars and strap come off too!
