Have you ever bought a watch as a sort of DIY homage, to scratch an old itch?
Back in 1984 I lusted after one of these:
.. but I bought a Rotary instead, because I saw one with 50% off.
I've often thought about it since though, and when I saw this for sale at Argos for about £11 (if I remember correctly), I decided I'd have one. Clearly it doesn't closely resemble the old Seiko model. But it does resemble it a bit, with the squarish face and chamfered corners, and the lightly domed crystal.
The bracelet is a lot different, and the Casio has more information on the dial. Still - works for me.

Nice to hear the rationale behind it.
I like that Seiko and Casio. It’s a shame you don’t see many/any Seiko digitals now.
Someone's reviwed this particular Casio model, published 10 hours ago.
