I am 50 years old - nothing to brag about? ... OK, but over 50 years I have had many cheaper watches and would like to share it. From an early age, I used them not very carefully, so I decided that they had to be stronger and stronger to withstand me. The bar went up after each purchase, and it was something like this: 1. There was a spring watch on a leather strap (communion), but it didn't last long ... when I bathed in the pond, the skin got soaked in the water and I knew it wasn't it. .. Plus it's winding up and steaming in water ... ehhhh 2. There was a plastic Casio Water Resistant. It had everything plastic, including the glass one, but it scratched quickly and the strap cracked with age. I changed the strap, but the lug in the envelope finally broke off. Although the plastic Casio constantly worked (2-3 years on the battery), it became clear: the watch must be metal, all metal. 3. I bought another one, in a stainless steel case and on a WR steel bracelet, with a reinforced glass. Unfortunately, the glass was drawn, and the mechanism was eating the batteries like crazy ... and it steamed up a bit after replacing them. 4. Then there was a steel Casio but I smashed it. He walked, but could not be repaired cheaply. 5. OK, I thought. It has to be more expensive, with a super fast one that wouldn't scratch, so I chose a better brand from Switzerland. The watch didn't leak and didn't scratch but it broke .... broke after 4 years. Batteries ran fast too. 6. Then I put on a steel monster, a stainless steel G-Shock in a muzzle on a reinforced glass. Lest I run out of electricity, I took the version with solar, WR200 and radio synchronization ... it was 10 years ago. He withstood everything, even a few dives to a depth of 50 meters. Eventually, the telescopes in the bracelet were made, and I lost it at the construction site. After 2 days, he found himself run over by a large excavator. I replaced the telescopes and carried on. Unfortunately, it was not very elegant, and it did not look flawless for a long time, but there was nothing to change because the requirements were high. The new watch was supposed to be: - elegant, - with a sapphire crystal - because it turned out to be the most durable, - with a steel bracelet and case, - waterproof, because I like diving, - equipped with solar, because I never want to service it or replace the battery, - wrong expensive for me to have to sell the kidney. I was looking for 2 years, but there was no golden mean so I wore a G-Shock drawn, but only it withstood me for 10 years without any problems. And suddenly ... I am 50 years old and on my birthday my Wife and Daughter gave me a surprise as a gift: the new Casio EDIFICE Premium Carbon Dial Sapphire Solar watch, which has it all. It was worth the wait ... After all, Casio has watches for everyone. I asked why they bought in Zegownia? Because it was not certain that I would like the model, and in Zegownia there are 100 days for return - perfect for a gift. By the way ... My old plastic Casio from over 30 years ago with plastic cogs, still working after replacing the battery ... Applause standing up for Casio, for the price-durability ratio. I highly recommend the elegant and durable Casio watches with sapphire crystal from the Clock Room. Raphael
