After spending billions on the space race during the Cold War, NASA looked to a humble Casio when it decided to fit MRW200Hs to the outside of the flight suits of their WB-57 aircraft pilots. Opting for frugal pragmatism over opulence, the MRW200Hs have soared to heights of 60,000 feet on various high-altitude research missions. The MRW200H is the ideal travel/adventure/beach watch. It comes in lots of different color combinations, and you’re getting an accurate, water-ready timepiece that does what it needs to do. You can get it wet, muddy, and scratched up without worry that it will fail you. And, if something should happen, it won’t break the bank to replace it.Once a staple, today supplanted by the smartphone -- watches could be considered a collectible these days.
