For Gen-Zers, that's the watch everyone's dad and older millenials used to wear everywhere in the world.

I've seen a lot of young people wearing the silver and gold versions of it. I think there's a vintage trend, just like with the cyber shot cameras, but they're not really full committed to the black rubber ones.

my 11 year old daughter has one too. And she asked for it.

I think that was because of Shakira's song against her ex.

  •   I'm worth two 22-year-olds
    
      You traded in a Ferrari for a Twingo
    
      You traded in a Rolex for a Casio
    

    if anything your daughter should wear a Rolex?

    • Well it depends which side she took. I didn't really asked for a reasonning but if that new girlfriend is the reason her ex dumped her, that mean she is not that bad and a Casio may not be that inferior to a Rolex (which would anyway have led to a straight no had she asked for it). After all, a Casio F-91W is more reliable than a Rolex to give time and has other features such as an alarm clock.

      I think Casio in some latin countries played with it as meme on twitter at the time.

      I also think a Twingo is overall a much better car than any Ferrari for daily and lawful use.

    • I guess that's a question of whether you like the musician or the music. In the arc of the song, the boyfriend clearly developed good taste.
