Casio watches never looked as cheap as this watch does. Going with light grey plastic was a mistake, makes it look like a cheap prop of a metallic object.

Casio's a dedicated watch company. Even in their earliest iterations, they were less limited. From the site [1], this appears to be one person's project.

I wonder if it's less the colour than the sheen of that specific type of plastic. Casio has some great looking fake-metal. In the end, cheap plastic will probably end up looking like what it is.
You could probably find more convincing metal spray pain in your nearest hardware supply store. But you also don't need to choose a metal look if you can't pull it off. Even when going for a retro computer look, those didn't usually have exposed metal on the outside anyway.
