Who's telling you that? Although I know of this story, I've been wearing one all this time, save for a few years of folly with an Apple Watch 4. In fact, I just picked up a new one two days ago since I left my old one in another country. No police has ever given me trouble (e: am from Middle Eastern country and have had more LE interactions at the airport than most people)
I love not having to charge it and not having to worry about bumping it into anything.
(My new watch is a slightly updated model - W-217H-9AVCF, which is a little bigger and has a brighter, more even light in amber)
PS: Nobody's going to think you're a terrorist if you drive a Toyota, either.
It started out with “your watch is so old it probably had a Wikipedia page” and the person jokingly looked it up scrolled down and it was an “oh shit” reaction…
I love the watch and I still have it..
They're pretty different designs mainly because of different regulations, but have the same purpose. Old Hiluxes are famously near-indestructible; Top Gear once drove one into the ocean and it still started.
…btw, "technical" means it has a machine gun mounted in the back.
I even tried googling for it, but couldn't find any articles referencing both Guantanamo and casio watches, aside from the general ones talking about the whole phenomenon of Al-Quaeda preferring those watches or pieces talking about incidents where the watch was actually used as an IED component.
By any chance are you Arab? If so, then I can see why that might sting (and why the others were, unfortunately, taking the tack). If you're not though, then meh, easy to dismiss.
All because of this Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_F-91W Scroll down to usage
