Casio’s are great, don’t listen to her. Buy what you want. They are cheap, but they are very nice built, sometimes even nicer than watches that costs more.

For example, almost all casios has perfect second hand alignment, i never saw that second hand is hitting like 0.5s off on a casio. But some watches that costs like couple hundreds have that problem lol.

But i suggest you double check the case material, if this is stainless steel - great, go for it, if this is plated brass, i would probably look for different model with similar look and stainless steel case. There should be a bunch of those models in MTP series.
