My first watches which was presented to me by my father was japanese ones, and it was casio. I have been using casio since my childhood and the very first watches have been serving me for more than 6-7 years. Afterwards I acquired another firm, swiss one, but recently decided to get back to casio. I personally convinced that there is nothing better and more qualified than japanese watches, because Japanese engineers have the rule: first - test for many years, then - sell to consumers. Thats why I choose casio and still wear these nice watches from this company. I am delighted that I have chosen this company once.
