Casio MQ24-7E

Movement: Quartz

Style: N/A

Size: 33mm

Description: Utterly spartan and completely without frill are the best way to describe this watch. It is light enough to forget you are wearing it and so lacking in flash others may not notice it to begin with. Nobody will mistake you for an adventurer, deep-sea diver, aviator, playboy, or Navy SEAL wearing this watch. Despite this, the Casio MQ24-7E carries a character all its own not by what is is but what it isn't. It is not heavy, gaudy, fancy, horologically notable, or impressive. It is merely an accurate, comfortable, humble, and magnificently simple watch.

If you look around on Amazon, you can get some of them even cheaper, such as: http://www.amazon.com/Casio-MQ24-7E-Classic-Analog-Watch/dp/B00065FWR0/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1370540745&sr=8-7&keywords=casio+classic

May I humbly suggest some $10 alternatives? (not a huge fan of the font)

one

two

three

four

five

edit: Bonus

Of course you can go cheap, if you embrace it. Get a Casio F91W-1 or a MQ24-7E and wear the shit out of it.

But if you spend $100 you can get a really awesome watch. Orient Mako, SEIKO 5...etc.

Casio Casual.

First time posting,

Both outfits I wore to school this week. In both I'm actually wearing this watch (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00065FWR0/ref=pd_sbs_241_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=AYK4RF63F9PMT9EH37QP) that /u/homahuey posted about in some thread I saw while lurking. I liked it way too much NOT to get, and I picked up like 5 so I could use em the same way he did, lmao.

I think its also worth noting that before I choose what to wear before I go out, I'm listening to music and whatever particular song I'm listening to usually plays a role in what I end up wearing.

The first outfit was inspired by Telephone Calls off of Cozy Tapes Vol. 1, and the second outfit "Down On My Luck" by Vic Mensa.

• Vintage Chicago White Sox snapback,
  
  
• My uncles Tommy Hilfiger windbreaker (?), he doesn't remember when/where he picked it up unfortunately.
  
  
• I'm also wearing a Diamond Co. Grey hoodie underneath the jacket, but any other grey hoodie would've served the same purpose,
  
  
• Jeans from Topman,
  
  
• Nike Roshes.

• My dads aviators that I scooped up before heading off to class,
  
  
• GQ collab with GAP camo bomber (i'm wearing a large here because it was the only one available, but I would have much rather preferred a medium).
  
  
• h&m burgundy sweater w/ navy elbow patches (the colour comes up much better in the aerial close up shot),
  
  
• pair of thrifted jeans; I don't actually remember where I got these or what the brand is, but i will edit and update when I'm home.
  
  
• Doc Marten boots. I forgot which ones these are as well, will update in that edit.

Just a heads up, I found the 7E that is sold out on eBay on Amazon for $11

I would suggest a black watch of some sort, as casios are my favorite, I can use those as an example.

Streetwear

Retro - my favorite

Different retro

Minimalist

Crazy

Not all 100% black, but they at least got a little bit of black in them. I think part of wearing a watch is being able to balance how busy it looks on your wrist with how busy the rest of your outfit is. If you're going for streetwear, wearing a flashy watch is a lot easier than for someone going for a business casual look (of course there are exceptions). I'd say look at these and see if any would mesh with your wardrobe. Even if not, get the calculator one or the analog minimal one just to experiment with watches. They're cheap and it's fun as hell.

tbh this is probably the sweetest, cheapest watch you can get.

Here's a minimal costing one

Then you're fucking retarded. You'd be better off just giving your money away.

> find a watch

eh?

College is casual. You'll be wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers 95% of the time.

Get some dark, non-distressed, well-fitting jeans. Not baggy, but not ridiculous tight. No rips, tears, or holes - this way you can wear them when you're kickin' it during the day, or when you're hitting the clubs at night.

Next, get some socks and sneakers/casual shoes. There are literally hundreds of options, it's really up to YOUR personal taste. Just off the top of my head: Converse All-Stars, Converse Jack Purcells, Adidas Sambas, Clarks Desert Boots, etc.

Wear what you like for t-shirts. I always like to have some well-fitting solid color v-necks to keep it classy and simple. Try Target, mall department stores, etc.

Get a nice simple watch. I like Casio Men's MQ24-7E Classic Analog Watch because it's so versatile.

Here's the same link sans referral code:

A white faced version is currently listed at 8.99. No prime shipping though.

I'm a college student. I've got expendable income, and I want to look nice, but I haven't worn a watch since early high school. So, I decided to shop around and see if I'd like to wear a watch again.

I was thinking, oh, you know, I'll spend $80 to $100 and see what I can find.

Until I found this one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00065FWR0/ref=oss_product

For TEN DOLLARS.

I love it. It's small, light, and cheap. It looks elegant as fuck and it's just so perfect. If it gets stolen or I lose it, I won't give a damn and I'll just order another one.

I like the aesthetic, but the price is ridiculous for what it is. This is a fairly close Casio and is under $10.

This is my daily wearer: a Subaru Casio Forester. It's not fancy, but it works quite well, and is a bit scratched up to prove it. I'm an analogue kind of guy, which is why I keep the LCD display on the date.

...

I do have other watches, but they're all in storage at the moment. Out of memory, I have a Casio MQ24-7E (which is the other I wear, typically for more formal events), a Casio MQ24-7B2, one of these, one of these, and one of these, among others. Most of them need new batteries...

Edit added some more

Ok I'm done sorry.

Same here.. more specifically:

1. Sansa Clip 4GB w/ silicone case $33.50
   
2. Casio Men's MQ24-7E $10
   
3. Runner's World LED Armband $10

Not sure if these are the kind you're really looking for (and I don't know much at all about watches), but they're similar to Bauhaus style:

Skagen (34mm), $55: http://www.amazon.com/Skagen-Unisex-39LSLBB-Quartz-Movement/dp/B009A2SE9I

Boccia (various), $85+: http://teno.com/Boccia-Titanium/Boccia-Watches-Men

I spent some time looking for minimalist, Bauhaus style watches for a while, and these are the only ones I've found for under $50 (except the Boccia). You might have better luck searching than I did.

Both of my suggestions are cheap, minimalist, and goes well with pretty much anything. IF you must get one of the two you listed, get the circle jerk weekender. The one you linked has a pretty ugly face.

you should check out this Casio watch, it's $10 on amazon and very minimalist. I have it and I like it a lot.

Ok I need a recommendation on a watch for work. I never wear watches, this will be the first watch I've ever bought. I'm not allowed to be on my phone but I need to check the time often, so I want something simple, minimalistic, and trustworthy.

I've been looking at the Timex Weekender and the Casio MQ24-7E. They are both simple and seemingly reliable. Does anyone have a preference of one over the other? Any questions I need to ask myself that maybe I'm not thinking of?

Also any further recommendations for a similar watch style (minimal, black/white, cheap) would be great. Thanks!

If you want a cheap watch to tide you over, I've heard good things about these.

I do have other shoes as options, but sneakers usually look too puffy on my for me to be comfortable with them. Because of that, I'm trying to move away from normal sneakers.

I don't know why I tucked in my shirt in hindsight, lol I will stay away from tucked from now on. I did like the chinos, but you're right, the fit is definitely off. I'll check out Uniqlo and try my luck there tomorrow.

As far as accessories go, I ordered this watch yesterday.

If you can live without the digital chronograph, I've been perfectly happy with this one. Mainly because it's dirt cheap but reliable as hell. I always take a 60 second break between reps so I just need to quickly glance at the dial without having to set a timer or anything. Tried a Garmin sports band for a while but I went crazy having to flimsily navigate through menus - half of my rest was already over until I finally got to set the timer.

I also like that it's so small and weights basically nothing as I find wearing a clunky/heavy watch while working out distracting.

I have this watch (or something similar): http://www.amazon.com/Casio-MQ24-7E-Classic-Analog-Watch/dp/B00065FWR0/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t

It was given to me when I was a kid 20 years ago by my cousin, who used it 7 years prior. Still works like it should. 27 years, going strong. Had to change the band a couple of times.

I suggest buying an older watch of the same model on ebay. It used to come with a metal face guard (mine has such a guard, and it has a black face, not white), and it was made in Japan (I think it's made in China now).

Note: I only use it when out running. I don't normally wear a watch all day, but I go out running every day. When I did wear a watch every day, several years ago, this watch took tons of abuse -- that's how I know it's a good watch to wear when working out.

This $9 Casio watch. I don't own it yet but do you guys have any experience with it or have any fit pics?

you could go the ultra cheap route and go with a Casio MQ24

if were talking like budget watches, the casio mq24 watches are ultra basic watches for 10$. i enjoy them because they are so simple and classic you can wear it everyday and not worry about breaking or miss-matching with your clothes or edc (if your into that :/ ) http://www.amazon.com/Casio-MQ24-7E-Classic-Analog-Watch/dp/B00065FWR0/ref=pd_sbs_watch_1 also it was recently complemented in another users edc post

Dunno if you've already got a watch, but I recommend this Casio. Simple, elegant, and cheap. I can't vouch for its durability though, because I've only had it for a month before I lost it at a concert :/

I use a Casio MQ-24.

• Dirt cheap (about 10 bucks)
  
• One minute intervals
  
• Clutter-free, good readability
  
• Hasn't failed me yet
  
• Light and cheap, so it's feasible to carry a spare if you want dependability.
  
  I prefer analog watches, solely because in training we'd fly standard rate turns under the hood, and I find the motion of an analog seconds hand easier to relate to the heading indicator.
  
  Only thing I miss would be something that improves readability in low-light situations.

I'm not sure if this will be to your liking, or not. I have one and I think it's great. It is my go-to dress watch. I bought a brown leather strap for it that I swap as needed with the stock strap depending on what I'm wearing:

Also, this one is possibly way off the mark but in my opinion it's worth a look:

Most "minimal" quartz watches have <10 USD movements in them so what you are paying for is fashion. These are the MVMT, Daniel Wellington, Nixon, Fossil, ect. You can buy them if you like the way they look, there is nothing wrong with that, but know they are built fairly cheaply and marked up to +$100 for no reason other than fashion. You can checkout DHGate and buy a fake DW watch for $7-12 from China that will be identical in quality to the actual DW watch, and could potentially even come from the same supplier! (not recommending, just commenting)

It really depends on what styles you like and how much you want to spend.

Watches I would recommend that are in my opinion minimal:

Casio Men's A158WA-1DF.
Its not super aesthetically minimal, but its ultra cheap, I think it is relatively stylish, impeccably reliable, easy to read, good features (light, alarm, stopwatch, long battery life). This watch got me through a year aboard a Nuclear Submarine and served me well as an alarm clock, stop watch, and time keeper. It dresses up and down very easily, and I wore it to dinner in foreign ports as well as in the engine room taking logs on equipment. I still have it in my rotation. At 33mm thick, with an 18mm band that tapers, this watch has a very low profile, minimal wrist presence. For 12 bucks you cant not want one.


Junkers Bauhaus
Much more expensive, especially for an entry level piece, but very well made. Mechanical, Japanese movement, built in Germany, certain to impress watch enthusiasts and normies alike. Its automatic, meaning it does not have a battery, and a mechanism winds the watch up due to the movement of your wrist throughout the day. This also means that if you dont wear it for a few days it can stop running, but all you need to do is give it a shake and set it again to get it going. There are some quarts models by Junkers that are cheaper, also even some models with Automatic Swiss movements, worth taking a look. Some cool features this watch has are the power meter, so know by how much the movement is wound as well as ability to perform as a 24hr watch for military time. Easily made a dress watch but good as an everyday casual watch as well. 41mm case, so it will wear very modern (ie large).

Sieko 5
This watch is not as minimal in the aesthetic sense, ie the face has more than just tick marks at each hour, and it has both day and date functions. It is another automatic, and I will argue that it is still pretty minimal. At ~50-60USD is is a perfect entry level choice for a first automatic/mechanical watch, and comes in several colors. Well made for the price. At 37mm it wears much smaller than most popular fashion watches (one of the reasons I recommend it as a minimal watch). It will suit you in both casual and fomal settings, and will appeal to both watch nerds and every day people. Not gaudy or pretentious like a Swiss made, gold piece, but it has some character and soul. I would recommend if you buy this watch to also pick up a band, as the one supplied from Sieko is uncomfortable and unattractive in my opinion. The watch will do well on a Nato band, or a light tan leather band (check out the amazon reviews user photos)


Casio Men's MQ24-7E
Another Casio, not as versatile since it is very casual, but undeniably minimal. Very similar to the watch worn by the Pope. If you want ultra cheap, reliable, and analog this is a good choice.

There are many, many other good choices out there. Good Luck, and I hope this helped!
