If you lived through the 70s, 80s and part of the 90s and that of "Made in Japan", surely you remember the Casio watches that began to flood the watch shops from all of Spain and a good part of those businesses that were called "confiscations", and that brought the latest technology of the time. Who did not learn with the Japanese mark to know the world time, or the altitude, do calculations with their calculators or use a stopwatch to find out who was the fastest in the neighborhood?
Five special models for geeks
Surely many think that the best way right now to show that geeky spirit of being up to date with technology is to wear a smartwatch on your wrist. It doesn't matter if it's a Apple Watch or any other smart watch model, it is logical to believe that with one of these we can do practically whatever we want, from memorizing a workout to listening to music or making calls in the middle of nowhere. But if you really want to pass for some real geeks, then you will have to travel to the past, to those Casio brand watches that have marked us over the last 35 years.
That is why We have decided to select five designs that do not go out of style. That maintain that classic spirit of the 80s and 90s with very basic and elemental functions but that will return your wrist to what it originally was: a place to look at the time, allow us to set an alarm and little else.
