    O&W for me



    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    Sure! Had it about a day now, and am still stunned at how light weight it is. OCW-S100-1 is titanium, sapphire, solar, atomic, perpetual calendar, 30 time zones. Got it from Chino for $454, though it was as low as $426 earlier. The white dial version is harder to find and over $500.

    Wore it overnight with comfort and it sync'd up at midnight with the US radio tower in Ft. Collins on the first try even though I am well over 1000 miles away.

    Really like the blue accents. This bracelet is my first encounter with pin-and-collar so it is tricky to resize. I managed ok without losing any parts, though at one point I was scanning the floor underneath me with a flashlight.

    It is a great Quartz watch with handy modern features in a low-key conservative case at a fair price. Should be reliable for decades.

    Finish is very good, but I am worried about how scratch resistant the titanium will be over time as there probably is no special treatment on it by Casio, just regular soft titanium, I think.

    Otherwise it is very tastefully executed, brushed and polished well. These are hand-made by Casio in their Japan plant at Yamagata.
