It's quite remarkable that only Casio seems to look back at the men's sizes of the 30s, 40s and 50s. It's a pity that apparently it takes some confidence to wear a classic Casio in today's fake-macho world. Thanks for the review.

I'm 31 years old, and for a long time, I was all about Apple Watches. In fact, just two months ago, I bought the latest Ultra 2. But then, I decided to explore other watches a bit more, and I don't regret it at all. The look and comfort of a watch like this are completely different. Now, I believe that Smartwatches are not really watches per se, but more of a sporty accessory that I'm starting to like less and less. I'm seriously considering selling my Ultra 2 to get a Tissot PRX as my first 'real' watch. I really like it

@@maxramosnazer Never owned a smart watch so can't comment on that, but I will say that a decent, inexpensive automatic watch might give you some pleasure and equal annoyance.

I cannot find the AQ230 on Eddie Murphy in those/that film/s. I only found photos of a round face/case watch, a gold bezel white face with a black metallic/electroplated bracelet. One photo I found actually shows a square face/case in black, seems like another white face too. The photo shows Eddie Murphy more in the distance so you cannot figure the type/format of watch it is, and there's daylight glare anyway. Good eyes though. Love Eddie Murphy. Wore very much the same black wool jacket with cream white calfskin sleeves between 2017 and 2022, without the applique patches of course.

@@vipeton.8927 It's partly true what you initially wrote. Eddie was photographed in the, I think, 2nd film with a square faced watch most likely white face and the band is black but unclear whether it's electroplated black or just black resin.
