Apple Watch at work? 5ch says a cheap Casio will do

The story

On October 5, 2026, several topics ran side by side in a casual chat thread on 5ch’s “Nandemo Jikkyou G” (livegalileo) board. One that stood out was a debate over salespeople wearing Apple Watches: one poster said “wearing one on sales calls would get you laughed at,” and another shot back, “a cheap Casio is good enough.” The same thread also carried an unsourced claim that “labor-shortage bankruptcies have hit a record high,” mentions of Antonio Inoki, chatter about a new pachinko machine, and meme-style back-and-forth banter — a string of short, inconclusive exchanges, one after another.

Background and Key Points of This Topic

“Nandemo Jikkyou G” (commonly known as “NanJ”) is a board built for live commentary, where short replies to news and everyday happenings pile up over time, and it’s common for several unrelated topics to run in parallel within a single thread. The post claiming “labor-shortage bankruptcies hit a record high” is an anonymous statement with no cited source or statistics, so it shouldn’t be taken as confirmed aggregate data. Meanwhile, the exchange over Apple Watches shows a contrast in values: those who think a smartwatch looks “out of place” in face-to-face jobs like sales or customer service, versus those who prioritize practicality over looks and say a “cheap Casio” (an inexpensive Casio watch) is good enough — illustrating how opinions on gadgets split depending on one’s job and personal values.
