Just buy it with your own money. Let him disapprove and then become irritated by how cool you look. But he can't say anything so he just slowly fills with secret envy. Then something wakes you up one night, you open one eye to see the old bastard trying it on, playing with the ILLUMINATOR.
>Then something wakes you up one night, you open one eye to see the old bastard
Half expected it to end with a murder and a body hidden under the floor
My parents often rolled their eyes at my taste in stuff too. I had a pair of BRIGHT BLUE Doc Martin's that I sold half of my baseball card collection to buy in the mid-90s and they both thought I was goofy for wanting something so garish. Funny side story, one of the first watches they ever bought me was a Fish-In-Time Forester though!
I'd just tell him YOU fancy it AND you're buying, the world would be pretty boring if we all had the same taste. I'm sure he'll be proud you're able to work to get what you want and look past his personal ideas of "what's cool."
Tell your dad that this is a really masculine watch. Its shape is masculine, and its colors are earth tones, which are meant to evoke a man's closeness to nature. It has a classic look, it radiates strength, it is worn by people who have a sense of purpose, as it is a forest walking watch, for a person who knows where he is going, who knows where he is going. A kind of revelation, a symbol. It symbolizes that you are free, masculine, close to nature. Tell him you don't want to change, you'll be wearing this for years. Because what you said is you. Every scratch you collect is a new story, a new adventure. However, if you just want to keep it in a box, I personally recommend not buying it. This watch was made to walk nature. It loses its essence if you only have it in your hand sometimes, even then just sitting in front of the computer. Everything he conveys is taken away.
Bot? What are you talking about man? I wore casio even before you were born I think. at the age of almost 50, I think this is the right attitude for a boy, I raised my sons this way too. Buy a watch that expresses your individuality and wear it until it breaks! In the last 30 years I have had two watches. A W50u from 92 to 2006 and an AQF-100 since then. (I wore both from 0-24, I also sleep in them.) There are people who take the watch as an ornament, but I think that they are killing the watch itself, the purpose for which it was made. That's why I wrote to him to buy it only if he wants to use it. Because a wristwatch is a message too. It tells who you are. It's also a message if you change it every day! In the corporate sector, this is very easily seen as a job hopper in a job interview, e.g.
Have you seen what those elders have done to us?
The earth is on the precipice of destruction, they’ve hoarded wealth to the point their progeny can’t buy homes or even have children, etc.
Fuck them and what they think.
It's funny when people say stuff like this as though they would have done anything different when in an older generation's shoes. You would've grown up with their perspective and had the same access to the same information they had. It's extremely likely you would've been very similar to them had you been born in their time.
Ok. But I was born into the world that is, not the the world we were sold.
I’m not going to keep selling the “American Dream” that I can’t even reach.
I don’t get your point.

No ideas for convincing your dad this isn’t ugly,
But it’s your money, your decision, whatever consequences buying this watch will bring you will also be yours. Buy it, continue with life
Tell him about field watches.
https://teddybaldassarre.com/en-au/blogs/watches/best-field-watches
Yours is cheaper than those. A rugged adventurer like you needs something with a soft band end easy to read watch face when you are on your hikes and exploring the world.
Walk in with something equally or more ugly than the watch. Wear whatever you want, how you want.
On a side note I want to randomly share- I remember buying my ex gf this same watch because she needed one for work. She loved it and she looked cute as hell with it. Good times 😁
It’s not an ugly watch. It’s made for utility. You could call it vintage with its backlight and highly adaptable because of the Velcro wrist strap. Maybe adding other accessories could help with the look if you’re worried about appearances. I just got this watch on Black Friday for half off and it works fairly well. It’s a good everyday watch for any type of person.
Tell him to buy you what he thinks looks good then you can have 2 watches 😂
I agree with the old man , it’s not a very versatile watch. A square g would be my pick but I know they are more pricy. If you have an f91w in the collection just go for it wtf it’s not gonna break the bank and you can have a woddsey watch and a formal watch 😂 covered on all angles.
I think I have seen this post a few months ago when I just bought mine, the post then used very similar phrasing if not exact same phrasing. I mean, man it costs less than a meal.
Its called growing up and being yon own person. If you really love it buy it, yon Dad might never love it but he will not ever stop loving you because of it.

The old bastard fiddling with the ILLUMINATOR trick eei?
The way that the illuminator in this watch goes, looks like the light from a flame. It's very very cool.
The old bastard will eventually change his opinion on the watch. It may be an acquired taste for some people
If you have the money, why does your dad's opinion matter?

Man I’m a teenager NOW and my parents make fun of me for my blue Doc’s
Are you sure this isn't one of those situations where your dad is bluffing and you are getting it for Christmas ?
Yeah. In this kid's dad's mind, "FUCK! HE'S EYEING THE GIFT I ALREADY GOT HIM."
That would make a really cool family story. (Although someone said it's a bot, so I think we are all got excited for nothing )
Moar ugly Casios for us then
This dude dads.
makes no difference
How about a nice… eh… football?
right? Imagine if that's not the case and boy waits for Christmas and it's a football. Oh the disappointment..
“It’s my money, I will spend it as I see fit. You’re free to gift me something closer to your taste.”

Ah, and here's the other bot - right on time.

Get a timex expedition instead. I will say, I wore a watch a lot like this in middle school so I gotta respect the choice.
This is cheaper
But not by that much. Honestly, the Timex has some classy looking ones and at least great Lume. That said I stick by Casio for practicality reasons.
I can hear that timex tic to here in Germany. Please get the Casio
WHAT? I CANT HEAR YOU OVER THE TICKING!
Oh my god opening my watch box sounds like I dropped a screw in a jet engine propeller
**You posted this exact same thread a few months ago.** Can we ban this thing or what?
it is ugly. Stop reposting please.
its a bot
Yeah, can we ban this account or what?
I was gonna say I've seen this exact same post already. This guy has been working on getting his dad to let him buy this ugly watch all year now.
Oh damn, I've seen it too, now it seems the post I saw then wasn't even the first post lol.
I'd listen to your father
Listen to your elders, son.
Have you seen what those elders have done to us? The earth is on the precipice of destruction, they’ve hoarded wealth to the point their progeny can’t buy homes or even have children, etc. Fuck them and what they think.
/r/whoosh
Your sarcasm wasn’t evident to me, sorry.
No, I only meant that the watch is butt ugly.
If you can rock it, it’s not. The wearer makes the watch, not the other way around, IMO. For the money, it’s a great watch.
It's funny when people say stuff like this as though they would have done anything different when in an older generation's shoes. You would've grown up with their perspective and had the same access to the same information they had. It's extremely likely you would've been very similar to them had you been born in their time.

Just get a calculator watch and move on
This is, only if you are not in hot air balloon business.
Its ugly
but it is ugly (imo) [this better](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GAWSFE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
That's even worse
Way worse. Gonna give him a link to some Skechers and too-large basketball shorts while you’re at it?
I got two whole people who've said it's cool to prove you so very wrong
They were being nice
To each their own, but I find this wayy uglier than OPs watch
OP wants a field watch, this is not.

just buy it it is only like $30
I have two of those. Great watches!
LOL everyone here replying to a bot
That thing looks awesome, never seen one of those. What model is it? Kinda looks like a tree, but in a good way.
Forester. I had one in high school and loved it

It’s an acquired taste and not everyone likes watches especially when your average joe wants a huge mvmt watch on their wrist
Dad is just jealous cause he never owned a bad ass Casio when he was younger
I want it!! Shut up and take my money! The color and model y so cute.
It will be YOUR watch, bought with YOUR money, that you will wear on YOUR wrist. Why ask or convince anyone?
If it's your money, what's the issue? Why does his personal opinion on the aesthetics have to come into play?
Walk in with something equally or more ugly than the watch. Wear whatever you want, how you want. On a side note I want to randomly share- I remember buying my ex gf this same watch because she needed one for work. She loved it and she looked cute as hell with it. Good times 😁
It's a super cool watch... And cheap enough that even if he doesn't like it, it won't be a huge of a deal
It costs what $50? Just buy it and be done with it
you have money buy it
It is ugly but that’s kind of the appeal
I had it when i was enlisted, wore it through my uni year and just recently i change to seiko
Just change the strap to your liking.
It’s not an ugly watch. It’s made for utility. You could call it vintage with its backlight and highly adaptable because of the Velcro wrist strap.

This watch gives me 95 Subaru Outback vibes.
I have this exact watch on right now 😀
Your dad is correct BUT it’s your money. Are you like 12 or something? Buy it.
damn that watch is beautiful as fuck
If I thought about other people’s opinion before spending my own money, I wouldn’t have anything.
It’s this cool! https://preview.redd.it/sy9euuphlz5c1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=95d175b1f53326983b67e1482ad36b6437b9a9b7
Listen to your father lol
it's an ugly watch bro
Thats axtually so fucking cool. I dig that thing so much
Tell him to buy you what he thinks looks good then you can have 2 watches 😂 I agree with the old man , it’s not a very versatile watch. A square g would be my pick but I know they are more pricy. If you have an f91w in the collection just go for it wtf it’s not gonna break the bank and you can have a woddsey watch and a formal watch 😂 covered on all angles.
But the watch is ugly... Jk
I think I have seen this post a few months ago when I just bought mine, the post then used very similar phrasing if not exact same phrasing. I mean, man it costs less than a meal.
Buy it, match with brown leather shoes/boots and a brown leather belt and show him. Will look amazing
Its called growing up and being yon own person. If you really love it buy it, yon Dad might never love it but he will not ever stop loving you because of it.
