CASIO Watch


I'll start this blog by posting on things i own that i really like. Well you can only really review on products that you've used right? Along the way i'll be posting on products/ gadgets etc that caught my attention as well.


FACE
I've own this Casio watch for about 1 year plus now and it's still looking pretty fine. No real scratches on the mineral (my guess) glass. I'm really a minimalist, vintage and sporty person all roll into one, thus you will find that things i own are normally incline towards those style. In this instance, i'll think this is pretty much a minimalist design. Very clean lines with minimal distractions. Ok the 3 date telling "chronograph" feature basically makes this watch a little more sophisticated while adding a bit of distraction, but i think they actually have one without the 3 circles. The hour markings and hour, minute hands are thicken so they become the most easily read lines on the watch. This allows quick and easy general time reading for the users. You have to make a little more effort to read the minutes markings if you are keen on telling the exact timing. 

BODY
The chain is made of chrome plated stainless steel if i'm not wrong, they are hollow pieces thus feels light and a little cheap when held. I paid about $30 for this so i shall not complain about that haha. However i have to say on the looks department, this watch looks way better that the price i paid for it. I've received many compliments from people around me on this watch, people including designers! For around $30, i have to say this is the nicest watch i've seen around. 

CONCLUSION
Stop buying those lousy pirated watches that cost around the same price but doesn't do its job well. This watch looks good and keeps time well, i haven't tune it since i've gotten it. However i've forgotten about the model number of this watch. Anyway just keep a look out for some Casio gems out there!

About This Blog

This blog is about looking at design from a logical point of view. Good designs are often good because of the thinking behind it and not because of pure luck. The colour, forms etc can all be and should be rationalised. This belief doesn't mean that any and everyone can design by simply following a formula. It is still an art to decide on the solution that best fit all requirements.


I will be posting on some everyday stuff that's more light hearted and fun. Reviews will be done on products that I’ve gotten my hands on!
