Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's a pretty ordinary claim, to be fair.
It's the first time I've heard of it, and I consider myself pretty plugged in when it comes to watch news.

#63It’s a shame that Casio are relentlessly pushing the g-shock watches upmarket. Part of their appeal was that they were affordable and tough. I still put on a g-shock if I absolutely have to know the time and couldn’t be faffed winding an automatic.
The GB-800 is pretty cool, has a step counter and the time can be kept by using the g-shock app including adjusting for daylight saving. The 5600 is my favourite though.

Interesting how they don't have a picture of these, they just have a black placeholder. I was able to Google a J-100 in seconds, including eBay listings for one for ~$390 and another for ~$520. There's an AQ-500 on Etsy. You'd think Casio could just buy one if their archives are missing an example.

#66Casio should release one of their "game and watch" products again, or create a new one based on the old models. Production cost cannot be higher than that of a normal watch, and a lot of people would love to own one. I am always disappointed when I see products like their pac man watches that just have a print on it without any game related functionality. This has damaged the brand a lot already, and tbh, after many…

Game and watch is a Nintendo product. They bring out remakes every now and then.

#67> 2016 - First Casio outdoor watch to run Android Wear OS Could you imagine the situation they were in as the most high-tech watch company in the world? For mainstream relevance you now have to anchor yourself to a smartphone platform that is either a) hostile to your very existence or b) completely abandons their platform and leaves you and your customers out to dry. I know people complain about car manufacturers be…
I think automakers can still find a happy medium, providing a fully functional vehicle that doesn't require CarPlay or Android Auto, but still supports them for customers, since they do exist right now and are extremely helpful.
The automakers should seek to win over customers by making the better experience, not by excluding the other options.

You are correct, they are probably just called Casio Game Watch like the Casio GC-7, GS-12 or GD-8.

#69SDB-300W family is still the best running watch I've ever had. I still have 1.5 copies of the WS-110H around on their last legs.
The key features that I've missed from any watch since is 1. good buttons and 2. "immediate" reaction time.
