This is my kind of watch, man. Costs like fifteen bucks. If I lose it in the alley or leave it at the beach, I lose fifteen bucks. That's the mindset. Doesn't require thinking about. Doesn't require winding. Just tells time and doesn't judge you for anything. Solid.
Consider: this watch, costing less than a philosophy textbook, tells time with perfect accuracy. It has no ornament, no pretension, no claim to being anything other than what it is. Ought we to consider these qualities virtuous? I submit that we ought. A watch honest about itself is preferable to a watch honest about nothing at all.
The Casio F-91W is worn by men who have accepted certain things about their lives. I have not accepted those things and I never will. The watch itself is competent - it tells time - but competence is a very low bar. Van Patten wore one ironically at a lunch last week. It was not clear whether he understood that the irony was in fact reality.
