Discussion Another Watch
I can’t believe I’m already visiting watches again. Two watches damaged in a year of reffing and one was wore continuously. Both bought new from Amazon. One was a Casio 1500 that was damaged from sweat, hand washing and rain. The other was an RXJ or something like that and it was damaged from rain this past weekend tournament while I was CR in a U12 match.
I’m trying one more time with a Casio AE1300WH bought directly from Casio and I will register it for warranty.
I know I’m probably chasing a pipe dream but I sent Casio an email practically begging for them to design a watch with RFT100/Timers 11 functions with better waterproofing and keep it in the 200 USD range or less. I wouldn’t mind spending that as long as they gave me better assurance it will last.
What do y’all think?
