Because it’s relevant to the conversation: Back in the 1990’s I was the communications officer for C troop 2/17 Cav 101st Airborne Division. I had a Casio watch (G Shock). We used SINCARS radio technology to communicate over FM frequency-hop. We had to have a TOD (Time of Day) in order to speak, 5 seconds off; no commo. I had the NOAC phone number memorized. Problem is, two weeks into a field problem, I did no have access to a phone and my Casio drifted one second forward every 24 hours. 5 days into a field problem all tactical operations within the entire division would shutdown. In the 90’s the proliferation of GPS devices that display time had not occurred yet.
I learned to find the senior pilots who could afford a Rolex or Brietling and synchronize their watches with NOAC prior to the field problem so I could have accurate time throughout the field problem. Rolex would gain about one second every month; huge quality difference when accuracy counts. Eventually, I bought a Brietling. On leave from combat when I became a CW4.
Moral of the story. When quality counts, you get what you pay for. When precision counts money talks. This is why I ride BMW’s.
It appears that your Casio may have been made by BMW....
