    old casio products are unforgivingly reliable. I’ve literally never had one fail regardless of the ridiculous amount of abuse I put them trough.

    The new ones tho… “it’s water tight not water proof” is what support told us when their “water tight” watch died after a minute of rain

      Well, that technically applies to all watches. They are just water tight to a certain degree, but none are completely waterproof. Depending on the ATM rating a hot shower can be enough to kill it, whilst others can survive diving hundreds of meters deep into salt water
