ICON

From Obama to Osama, this watch has been keeping people in time for 32 years and is still selling more than ever, it’s simply timeless. In a schools students use it to keep up with their class schedule, In Muslim countries it is popular for keeping up with prayer times. The bomb makers have known to use it to make time bombs, paramedics have used it in their service to save lives.

Looks

It’s RETRO style even more than 3 decades ago it was made to look this way on purpose this is why even now it looks clean and minimal still having a strong character unlike most minimal watches, it’s like a comfortable hoodie you always wear, but that can be an issue when you want to dress up for the that you can get the metal version the Casio A158W

Comfort

It is very comfortable and light wight(21g). This will make you wear it all the time. There may be discomfort when it gets sweaty or wet. (for that, you can try a nato strap)

Small size

its size is 38.2 × 35.2 × 8.5mm this may be a very good thing for you or bad depending on your wrist size.

hourly chime

You can enable a sound that plays every hour, very useful when you are doing one task for a long time and loss track of time the hour chime will make be aware of time passing

Light

The backlight is there and is useful in the dark but by modern standards it’s very weak but better than not having a one.

Accuracy

it’s very Accurate the one I have changes 0.5 sec per day yours may be better or worst but over all It’s less than 1 sec change per day in most Casio “593” module watches

Durability

t’s very durable and is known to last many year’s battery life have rated at 7 years many people have tested it to be longer depending on how you use is, it is only rated at 30 meter / 3 bar water resistance, but people have tested is more capable in most situations. So I think it can take care of your normal life.

One thing to be aware of is it is known to get scratched very easy it works still but looks beaten up, so you can try to put a protector on it if you want to.

Price

It comes in $15 base price, but colors can cost $5-$10 more.

Counterfeits

It’s very hard to avoid fake watches, the only thing I found to buy a real one is to buy from a trusted dealer.

The fake watchmakers have mastered all other things if you have experienced with this watch, you can try to look for the “u” under the RESIST under the letter “S”

Conclusion

As the title suggests this is the only watch most people need but as watches are more of a hobbyist and fashion thing nowadays people will go for more expensive watches if they can, still this is the most sold watch of all time and has worked for millions of people before you so if you don’t have one give it a try.
