Why are Casio watches that were available 20 years ago the same price as they were back then?
This is a passing fancy though, I've broke my android phone so back to the spare Blackberry for me which in turn means my smartwatch doesn't work.
I think I've skipped retro and gone full caveman.
@ben0_o They're cheaper now if you take inflation in to account.
@ben0_o I think there's an element of that. Though how many of those smart watches will still work in 10 years compared to the Casios? ;)
@benofbrown ah, touché ;)
@benofbrown while that is a factor, I'd be more convinced if there weren't smart watches available for around the same price that Casio are charging for 80's-90's technology >.>
I suspect it's probably gone the other way now; cheaper to produce but now you pay a premium for 'retro'
