Then I stumbled upon an article about the Casio AE1200, and a light went on. I’d browse the Casio site, skimming their catalog of what must be a million G-Shocks, and think, “meh, not for me.” Even the F91W – the dime store darling of the watch world – does nothing for me. I’ll even choose quartz over mechanical if it’s the right watch, but a digital? Not happening.
