Now where in HELL can I buy a nice, discreet Casio watch with NO bold

timers and alarms far better than Timex.

I like casio too, last one lasted over 25 years, including a trip
through a roof and a fall of 18 feet, with me attached, into hard-core
with little more than a scratch on the glass and a dent in the rim (I
was knocked out, broke my sturnum, and the damage to my left knee still
causes problems, the inch thick 8x4 sheet of ply that followed me
through missed!). My Christmas present Timex lasted 7 weeks before the
winder (adjuster) spindle broke....

Me? I'm harder on watches than my body. I use stairs and ladders
exclusively, thanks. Ouch! Your story hurts just to READ!

I usually damage the lens before 3 years are up. Finding a nice
plain watch nowadays is nearly impossible. Rats!

Maybe I'll write to Casio and say "_Enough_ with the text, just
give me a plain watch. I don't need to know it's WATERPROOF TO
300 FEET, SHOCKPROOF TO 50Gs, ALARM, CHRONO, TIMER and all that
other stuff which should be found in the manual (and/or on the bezel),
NOT on the face of the watch."
