However, if you&#8217;re looking for something just a step above that won&#8217;t break the bank, we can easily recommend this Casio WS1600H model that&#8217;s now just $22.<\/p>\n<p>                        Rock solid and ultra-affordable<\/p>\n<p>The 44% discount is what pushes this one over the edge, plummeting the price down to one of its lowest prices. When it comes to the looks, you&#8217;re getting that classic Casio retro design that&#8217;s straight from the 90s. You get the main display that features the time, date, and day. <\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a countdown timer and stopwatch, along with world timekeeping for 29 time zones. There&#8217;s a backlight for low-light scenarios, and the battery can last for up to ten years. It&#8217;s a simple and clean watch that really has some nice extra features. You might not use them all, but for $22, you can&#8217;t really go wrong here. <\/p>\n<p>Or if you want to grab something with the same aesthetic but a little more power under the hood, we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/g-shock-move-dwh5600-long-term\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">recommend giving this Casio a go<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We&#8217;ve talked about classic Casio watches before, and while smartwatches are good, you can&#8217;t really beat the value&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":550452,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[203,61,60,80],"class_list":["post-550451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gadgets","tag-gadgets","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=550451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/550452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=550451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=550451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=550451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
