As any husband will tell you, this could also be the lament of the poor man of the house. Whilst the rest of the clan got their shoes, clothes, stuffed toys blah blah blah, all I got was a lousy t shirt. Actually I couldn't even find a t shirt that I liked and was prepared to pay for. However, I did manage to get a new Casio (sadly that nice Hublot Big Bang that I saw at the casino shops shall forever remain out of reach). Well it was cheap inexpensive and I did like it, plus of course I don't have to worry about it being damaged or stolen. Indeed the price of watches here are quite a bit cheaper than at home, especially Casios. Merry Christmas, old son.
This particular model (GA-100B) is part of Casio's XL range (no prizes for guessing what XL means), originally released a couple or so years ago. It's got the usual basic Casio functions plus a nifty red onboard led night light rather than the usual EL backlight. The (still) strong trend towards oversized watches is great for us old guys with fading close in vision. The only negative for me is the weird colour choice of red for the hour hand, which makes it less visible. But hey, I bought it for the bright red strap so I could be more visible. If one can't have red hair one can certainly have a red watch!
