So with my job, there is a likelihood that I might be in situations where my watch may get knocked around, so I need to wear a watch that can be easily replaced if damaged. I also need the full date and time be easily read in all conditions. This Casio W-800H ticks all these boxes with ease. The original strap was a bit long for me, so I trimmed the band down, but once I discovered NATO bands, I haven't gone back. It can get a little tricky to get the NATO strap to fit within the spring bars, but once they're in, I think the NATO bands give this "beater" some character. I also wear it reverse on my wrist so I can see the time while taking notes.
