Plus, he probably peed on them already.

There is one thing that Derek, and many others, chose not to mention as a reason the pants are so ill fitting. You've hinted at it.

I know some of us are watch geeks like me. That said I don't care for the new line. If I ever somehow got a lot of money I would buy either of the old school ones regardless of cost.

I like them. A bit along the line of Cartier's TANKS, with the square casing, but I like the one in blue with the blue strap.
But at $88k, I don't think it delivers. Unless you are talking platinum, but it does not look that shiny.
And, BTW. There is nothing wrong about looking like a Casio. Casio makes some fine watches.
For example. That is the Casio MDV106, a watch designed to withstand 200M depth. It sells for $54 on Amazon which, if you consider price and design, can't be beat. A gorgeous piece, accessible to everybody.

I'm sure they did testing before releasing the new styles. They're just not my cup of tea as the saying goes. If I had $88k to spend on a watch...

I personally would never buy a square(ish) watch. I like a sweeping second hand more than a ticking one. I want 12 or 11 numbers on the face, not Roman. Slim way over bulky. I prefer flexible metal watchbands over animal skins. Swatch watches were fun at the time.

I haven't worn a watch in years, but if I did I'd take the Casio - digital - water resistant - practical - when I break it I can replace it without requiring multiple signatures on financial documents.

Watches are no longer about keeping time. They are, as this topic implies, fashion statements, and wealth statements.
We all have a digital watch in our pocket, which is synchronized to a higher degree. Our smartphones have replaced watches too.
So, I wear one out of habit. And the fact that I like watches.

I have a few watches, none worth over a few hundred dollars. I don't want to worry about getting jacked for a watch. I never look at my phone for the time, and if I'm watchless I typically forget my phone can give me the time.

Actually, I wore one at work as a RN on a medsurg unit and it needed to have a second hand. I am not pulling out my phone if I need to take a pulse or coordinate how fast I was pushing an IV med. When I transferred to a behavioral health unit, it wasn't as important. And my smart watch didn't fill the need b/c of the fact that the face didn't stay on long enough to monitor, and if it did, it didn't make it all the way through a shift. So, for me, a watch was a necessity.
