Several years back a friend got one of the first model of Casios that had the dial appear when you moved the watch up to tell the time, it had all kinds of gadgetry. It was an under $75 dollar time keeper. He and a friend of mine were out at dinner and talking time keepers. My other friend was wearing a Rolex submariner. After their discussion a couple of nice looking gals from the table behind came over and commented on the Casio and how it was so cool. They completely ignored the Rolex.
If it makes you feel good, then do it
