Casio watches
Casio is a Japanese watch manufacturer that gained worldwide recognition due to their affordable watches and precise quartz movements. While most people heard of Casio watches, not many know that the company is, in fact, a multinational electronics manufacturing corporation. And among their products we can count calculators, mobile phones, digital cameras, and electronic musical instruments.
One of the most popular watches ever made is, in fact, a Casio watch: the Casio F-91W. With an iconic design, that’s impossible not to recognize on the wrist, the Casio F-91W is one of the cheapest mass-produced watches on the market for the quality it offers. Not only does the watch come with a reliable quartz movement, a retro, easy-to-read digital display, but it also comes with functions like alarm, chronograph and micro-light. And you can get all that for around $20, sometimes even less.
But why stop there? Throughout the years, Casio developed an impressive array of watches, catering for different lifestyles and challenges. For example, the Casio Pro-Trek range is designed for mountaineers.
The Casio G-shock range
Then, of course, we have the Casio G-shock range, which proved to be particularly successful. And why is that? More often than not, the answer is simple: durability. Casio G-shock watches are made to last. They are made to withstand all sorts of working conditions and pretty rough environments. But there are, of course, Casio watch lovers that seek them out for their design features as well.

In recent years, the Casio G-shock range has expanded quite a bit. And it grew to include some really aesthetically-pleasing watch models, as well as practical.
