I'll always love my F91W for being able to tell me the time, date of the month, and day in wording, all on my wrist, for $14,00, at a 7 year battery life
Unfortunately Casios comparable digital display watch, the MRG-B5000D-1DR, costs about ten times as much.
But can it? I had one and it drifted like 20 seconds a month.
Quartz is (generally) accurate to about 0.5 seconds a day. (It varies, mostly by temperature.) Compare to a good quality mechanical watch, which is accurate to about 3-5 seconds a day. Cheaper mechanical watches, considerably less.
Casio "wave ceptor" watches receive the time signal every night, and so don't drift. Some other more expensive watches sync with the GPS signal, or with bluetooth to your phone.
If you demand accuracy without a regular sync, so called "high accuracy quartz" watches do exist, which can be accurate to about 15-30 seconds per year. The Bulova "Precisionist" line of watches are good examples of these.
Heh, you can get much better quartz watches than that if you're willing to pay for it. I have a Grand Seiko 9F super high accuracy quartz watch (SBGP017 is the model number if you're curious) that has gained just a little over a second in the year that I've had it. Citizen also makes high end quartz watches with similar accuracy (look up the Chronomaster).
Of course it's diminishing returns regardless, but the accuracy achievable is nevertheless impressive.
Also, 20 seconds means <2 min drift between the adjustments you make for daylight savings time.
I expect better from a quartz watch.
All because of this Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_F-91W Scroll down to usage
I love not having to charge it and not having to worry about bumping it into anything.
(My new watch is a slightly updated model - W-217H-9AVCF, which is a little bigger and has a brighter, more even light in amber)
PS: Nobody's going to think you're a terrorist if you drive a Toyota, either.
What if you're driving a Hilux technical?
All I know is that the tacoma is built(assembled?) in the US. however I always assumed they more or less the same design.
…btw, "technical" means it has a machine gun mounted in the back.

Or you were just a big fan of Napoleon Dynamite, who wore one as well.
I even tried googling for it, but couldn't find any articles referencing both Guantanamo and casio watches, aside from the general ones talking about the whole phenomenon of Al-Quaeda preferring those watches or pieces talking about incidents where the watch was actually used as an IED component.
