Any similar European alternatives you know of and can possibly recommend? As far as I know CASIO itself is Japanese, but I was kinda curious if I could support "local" and get an European one.

Why do you want to replace it if you like and it still works?

Good question and should have clarified in my post:

I wouldn't replace my current working one while it's still fine, but I bumped into a person at work who also has one and we had a discussion about this since his watch has quite a few cracks and is worn out (rough usage during free time hobby).

We were wondering if there are any "local" (broadly speaking) alternatives.

Buying products closer to you is better for the environment and if you can support a smaller business to thrive it's a bonus.

Nothing wrong buying it from CASIO, and I can highly recommend them, but in the spirit of this community and out of curiosity I wanted to ask in case someone knows :)

There is no real alternative to the basic Casio models.

Yeah, honestly they're great.

As far as brands are concerned, replacing with Japanese alternatives is just as, or even more, valid as European alternatives; but that's not for this sub.

Okay so my search has been in vain.

Thanks for the info, I'll keep using CASIO since they are really good!
