Yeah, I am with you on this one.

I even tried googling for it, but couldn't find any articles referencing both Guantanamo and casio watches, aside from the general ones talking about the whole phenomenon of Al-Quaeda preferring those watches or pieces talking about incidents where the watch was actually used as an IED component.
