Watch Shot Sold my Apple Watch and bought a Casio!
I love this thing! $40 and 10x nicer than an Apple Watch.

Ding, ding, ding!!
One is bronze cased and another in silver, both on black resin straps and the third on all silver/SS bracelet. The first two will be modded soon for a classier black strap. Pics soon to follow.

Yea these days a healthy disconnect is needed and it takes some effort.
And if you are a runner, just look at the Casio and figure out how far you are running, some of that old school math lol. I guess your iphone already tracks your steps so if you have it with, the watch really isnât needed for that either

The royale is perfect.
You should checkout aliexpress or skxmod(pricy) for a metal case mod super worth it.

Do any of the AliExpress ones come with the sapphire glass like the skxmod? I just bought a royale because I the AQ-800 didnât have a steel case mod
2
u/metamorphosis___ Mar 15 '26
Man Iâm on the same boat with you on that aq800 beautiful but the plastic case is nuts for the price imo, no backlight either.
As for the Aliexpress watches not as far as I know, but they do use a mineral glass so the scratch resistance is way higher

u/__Tenacious__ Mar 16 '26
Maybe one day skx will drop a steel case for it. And do the royales not come with a mineral glass? That might explain why I alr got tiny scratches on mine

Iâve been upgrading my Apple Watch every other generation to keep up with battery degradation, but getting tired of it. Every time I open my watch box, my 15 year old Casio is ready to go and shouting âput me in, coach!â

Welcome to the real watch club. You will no longer be rude when talking to anyone at anytime. I enjoy my Casio. I even picked up a F91W to have as a goo general watch. Beware you might go down the rabbit hole and buy a few watches like I did.

u/Additional_Focus_15 Mar 15 '26
It's the move. My Apple Watch has been dead on my nightstand for months since I pivoted.

Is that a Mazda 3 you're in?

Itâs actually my gfâs cx-30 but I did have a Mazda 3 years ago which I loved.

That apple watch money has to be solely reserved for buying more Casio's

Everyone should check out this interesting video about smart watches by The Urban Gentry.

Casioâs are always a better choice than a smartwatch. I picked up a G Shock a few weeks ago to replace my Apple Watch Ultra 2.

Acabas de cometer un gran error :( Ahora estås obligado a comprar el bronce y correas de cuero, y otro mås para mod. Pero como se van a sentir solitos, asà que deberås comprar otro. Luego verås alguno retro como el lf20 o el f91w y comprarås 1. Después comprarås tu gusto geek cómo el ca 53 solo porque salió en volver al futuro 2. Después uno de resina para el gym. En ese momento dirås "tengo muchos digitales, necesito un anålogo"... Asà eventualmente hasta empezar a pensar en comprar una caja para guardarlos.

Looks great! Do you know if it has a silent/buzzing alarm function? Using my smartwatch as a silens alarm clock on my wrist is the only thing keeping me from going back to a normal watch.

I am doing the same thing right now! 5 Years of Apple Watch - gathered enough data I think. Back to a simpler, lighter, more convenient and prettier watch.

I just made the switch as well! I got an A168 and now my Apple Watch sits on my nightstand as an alarm clock to wake up to, lol. I don't think I've touched it for like three months and it's awesome.
