if you find the right size glass , yes i think
Buy a new watch.
Unless they're incredibly deep, or along the edges, they can be buffed out. kinda difficult, but possible
For $20 I'd just buy a new one..
-no-

Sell it and then buy an actual watch with hands. Digital time belongs on alarm clocks only.
You're an engineer cat. Fix it with your wrench.
Take it to a jewelry store if they sell watches. They might be able to polish the glass.
[QUOTE=Natrox;26231693]Take it to a jewelry store if they sell watches. They might be able to polish the glass.[/QUOTE] Chances are though that would cost more than just buying a new watch.
Yes, take it to a watchmaker/jewelery store. They can cut you a new one. I doubt it would be more than $40. Edit: Just view the picture - it's probably not worth it sorry. Also, it's likely that it is plastic, not glass. Replacement would be cheap, but you'd be better of buying yourself a nice (or even a knockoff) analogue watch.
To be honest, replacing the glass on the front would probably be more expensive than that Casio.
[QUOTE=kapin_krunch;26231732]Chances are though that would cost more than just buying a new watch.[/QUOTE] Not always. But you can also do it yourself if you buy the right stuff.
-buy an analog watch -make sure it doesn't look like crap like that one does (no offense [okay maybe a little offense intended]) [editline]22nd November 2010[/editline] watches are supposed to be classy unless you need it to be really useful beyond timekeeping unless you're gonna be in situations where it could get damaged easily
[QUOTE=Sgt. Lulz;26231563]hhahahahaahhhahahahahahhahahh Real funny.[/QUOTE] You'd rather buy replacement glass for this watch than just rebuy it? It's 14 bucks...Just buy a new one...New glass would be more expensive than this piece of crap would cost to just buy a new one.
[QUOTE=Sgt. Lulz;26231563]hhahahahaahhhahahahahahhahahh Real funny.[/QUOTE] Although it was funny.. I was also serious. If you wanted to replace the glass you most likely enjoy that watch.. well.. I found the cheapest one on google shopping so you could replace the watch itself! I'm picky with watches so I dislike changing the one I have.. and if I have to I get the same 15 dollar one.
[QUOTE=Natrox;26231886]Not always. But you can also do it yourself if you buy the right stuff.[/QUOTE] But in all honesty that watch cost like £20. It's not really worth it.
Well, he could have sentimental attachment to it? Perhaps a grad present from parents and maybe it is all they could afford. Perhaps we (self included) all need to rethink our approach instead of just saying it's a cheap watch. I don't know why I feel so sentimental right now. Maybe cause I just watched that Oprah vid of them all going crazy insane over stuff they don't need. So, OP, go crazy and keep that digital casio. Get the glass replaced :)

[QUOTE=Sgt. Lulz;26232371]It's because it was my first watch ever. And I've been using it for a looong time.[/QUOTE] Oh, well then maybe it is worth it.
YES! I was right. sort of. Sentimental value wins out over style any day.
But if it was me I would buy a new watch to wear and keep this one safe for the sentimental benefits.
Sort of reminds me of my old watches I'm on my fourth right now, they're all fairly cheap, but I still have all of my old ones next to my bed. I wore them each 24/7, including sleeping and showering. I never really have problems moving on to the next one...
