The infamous Casio “wristband break” is what ultimately got me out of the habit of wearing wristwatches. When The band would break, I would just completely move both halves of the band, and put the watch in my pocket. A pocket watch, so too speak!
I ended up preferring this because of outdoor and boating activities and I wouldn’t get a tan line like with my wrist watch. Ultimately is totally set me up for when smart phones became my timepiece.
