Half a century ago, Casio unveiled the Casiotron QW02, the brand’s very first digital watch. Showing the time, month, date, and day of the week – with the calendar being “perpetual” – the Casiotron was a landmark and the ancestor of the G-Shock, one of the bestselling watches of all time. Now it has been revived Casiotron “50th Anniversary”, a limited edition that preserves the looks of the dinky original but enhanced with modern build quality and technology, including a solar-powered movement with smartphone connectivity. It is essentially a cutting-edge electronic watch in vintage dress.

Limited to 500 pieces at $500 each. I like the aesthetics but 42.7mm might be too big for my wrist (have not tried on). Thoughts?

I'm pretty sure for this watch 42.7mm would be the lug to lug (given how casio and g-shock usually measure their dimension) so it actually would wear pretty small. The dimensions are close to the original so it can't be too big.
