Just picked up a blackout colour version for $30 used three weeks ago, which is 50% off this deal new and in line with what you ought to pay.
Ie. Used items ought to be priced 30-50% off new, so if new goes much more than used, bad deal on the new.
....
Keep in mind this model in inverse lcd (white characters, black background) is easy to read in daylight outdoors, but drop the light level indoors or at night and it's difficult to read the digital display. Total darkness with only the built in light and forget it.
It's primarily for the analog dial in lower light levels, and the auto light on wrist raise is bright and works like the same feature in Protrek models. Led light is bright enough, once eyes adjust to total darkness, to see four, five feet out. Not a flashlight by any means, but enough to see your way to your glasses, light switch, or room exit.
I went for the blue on inverse black with all black case for the stealth look. Tons of bands and cases you can buy to swap for a unique look, too. Those with white bands and cases need the swapability simply because those don't age well with dirt, etc.

E.g. Plumbing. You actually want to try getting most smartwatches down and dirty in real shit for work and actually expect it to survive? Ditto with many trades.
E.g. Military. Many restrictions on anything that transmits over the radio airwaves. And you really think most smartwatches will last from boot camp to special ops training?
E.g. People who HATE charging. Battery powered models run 2 to 10 years, Solar G-Shocks indefinitely.
E.g. People who HATE trashing expensive obsolete tech every couple of years. Whether it's because of no updates or incompatibility or no easy, cheap way to replace a dead battery, modern tech is the new Anti-Green.
E.g. Style is subjective.
You've got the millennials originally rolling out in Victoria Secrets and Abercrombie back then, but today, gen z protest sexy. Just wait, 10 more years and 8-track and vcr revival will be here just like vinyl.
...
And depends on features.
E.g. All I wanted was a. No frequent recharging b. Reliable c. Compass for navigation.
Couldn't find any cheap smartwatch that could do all three.
Turn to classics and sgh-w500 for $20 used ebay that'll last decades.
Didn't need the silly INACCURATE health monitoring most smartwatches have - anyone gone thru boot camp need a watch to tell them they're at their limits while becoming Built?
So what I really see is the modern shopper conned into wanting an overpriced watch that they wear while hardly pushing themselves in workouts all while burning thru electricity day after day after day babysitting yet another tech toy.
It's almost as sad as many sports fans that have never been to the stadium, or worse, never or hardly play the games they're screaming at on a tv box at home.
The 100% guaranteed REAL, discounted Casios are available on Casio Outlet.
