this solar powered, waterproof Casio watch is on offer for £32 delivered at the mo.
i have a similar watch strapped to my top yolk.
would also make a decent wrist watch.

Or the ordinary ones are about six fiddy. Mine has been on the bike five years now and still on its original battery. So the solar one has to last over 25 years to justify the extra cost. That would be based on replacing the entire watch, not just fitting a new battery when it goes flat.

seemed like a good deal for a solar casio.
i like solar watches myself rather than normal battery.

In 1986 I bought a cheap solar powered Casio scientific calculator for my college work. We had a man at work who could get any Casio product as long as you promised not to send off the warranty card, they all came out the back doors of a warehouse somewhere. I bought a few extra and sold them to various lecturers for a small profit.

I am still using it now in 2023 for estimates etc. It is held together with blue gaffer tape though. My gaffer taped calculator reckons that is 37 years of near daily use.

unfortunately every normal battery watch ive owned has broken just outside of the warranty, i dont know if its just bad luck or i have some weird electro/magnetic stuff going on in my wrists like an X-man

i switched to a Citizen ecodrive and its still going strong about 2 decades later. my dads wears it now. i wear an automatic.

Casio makes some underrated stuff. I had one of those F91 like Stinkwheels for my engineroom watch and it soldiered on for years and years of abuse.

Great watches for peanuts.

Why would a £10 casio be stolen over the bike itself?

It's more a case that I would rather secure the bike than piss about making sure the cheap as chips watch was safe.
