The best Casio watches
Casio makes some of the most-worn watches in the world, and most of them cost less than a tank of fuel. Its classics are light, accurate and almost indestructible, and its G-Shock line goes further still.
Many Casios are small: the F-91W is only 38.2 mm lug-to-lug, so they suit wrists that most modern watches overwhelm.
