Guy sitting next to me in an #ADnD game at U-Con thinks I'm a #wristwatch guy because I'm wearing a Casio calculator watch. I'm really just a guy who never got over his parents's refusal to buy him a calculator watch in middle school.

So, wrist #watch people. Are there any vintage looking #watches (no touchscreen) with usable connected features? The #Casio ABL-100 is on the right track, but the connected BT features are so few and limited they don't count (change the timezone in the app and "find my phone"-alarm only?).
I'm thinking like, notifications, maybe playback control, answering/ignoring calls etc.

I got sick of winding my 45-year-old Timex a month ago, so I let it sit. The reserve is less than a day, so I had to wind it on waking and before going to bed.

There's no way to adjust the date other than advancing it though a full day, and with this knob it's uncomfortable doing that. So I waited for November 2nd and wound it up again. As luck would have it, it was only a minute off. (Or twelve hours and one minute - we'll see.)

How many more times today am I going to reflexively look at where my #wristwatch no longer is? 🙄

Not having a good day. Killed my #Timex #wristwatch which I've had since some time in the last century. 😢

Had to change the battery for the second time and it's always been a bugger to get apart and then back together. It did not survive re-assembly. Well it did but not actually working afterwards.

Slightly better news is Timex still make essentially the same model and currently have a 30% off code so it's probably the same or less than I paid for the previous one.

If it proves as rugged and resistant to abuse as the old one it will have a good chance of outlasting me 😃

The Ultimate Time Machine on Your Wrist Great Scott!
Marty McFly made the Casio CA-53 a legend when he wore it in Back to the Future. Now, 40 years later, CASIO honors that legacy with a reimagined version that transforms the cult-classic watch into a miniature DeLorean-esque time machine, crafted for true fans and collectors.

Seiko SSC923P1! I do love a chronograph.

Didn’t like the strap it came with so I put it on a 20mm one I had. It needs 21mm but it’s awkward to find the right ones because that size isn’t as common as 20mm (or 22mm)

Still, I love this watch. And shall look at it fondly as a “fuck you $company” watch in the future

This is the first I'm hearing about these neon Shark watches. $70 for a kids' watch seems a bit much. Why haven't these kids & their parents discovered Casio watches?! $20 for the F-91W.

Teens Are Buying Digital and Analog Watches Amid Phone Bans

When two of my interests collide, I'm always intrigued:

“The latest iteration of the franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, will debut a limited-edition timepiece – the [Hamilton] Khaki Field Automatic 38mm Call of Duty Special Edition. Worn in-game by Axel Vermaak as well as a physical release, players have the unique chance to equip virtual avatars with the same stealthy bit of kit that sits on their own wrist.”

I subscribe to The Mad Watch Collector's channel. He's consistently entertaining. 😆 🇬🇧 His contention here? It's not a watch at all. It's a "fruit-based notification wristlet".

Second mechanical watch! This one is a San Martin homage to the Zenith Type 20. Ridiculously large (45mm diameter and 15mm high) but still daily comfortable. Looking forward to the bronze aging.

Crocheting Steps

Yesterday I received the new smart watch that I ordered a couple of weeks ago. I decided that it would make sense for me to get one because I live alone in an apartment building that is more-or-less soundproof. If I fall over and yell for help, no-one will hear me.

So, since I’m not getting any younger and my bones are not getting any stronger, I figured it made sense for me to get a watch that had fall detection. I want my watch to let someone know if I can’t get up, so I ordered a Google Pixel Watch 3 because it would communicate with my Google phone and thereby to someone who could come and help me. I don’t know how they would get into my apartment, but at least someone would try. I hope.

Anyway, it has been less than twenty-four hours since I got it and I already know this watch does far more than I need it to. I think that if Elon has trouble with Starlink I could probably fix it from the watch on my wrist.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that I needed to type in the security code I use on my phone. Even after I did that, it took even longer for me to interpret all the little tiny logos they use for different application functions. Actually, to be honest, I still haven’t done that for all of them, even while wearing my reading glasses and while holding a magnifying glass over the watch face.

The only conclusion I can reach is that they don’t want me to understand it all. They just want me to use the watch so that the hidden AI spies can follow me around and download all the data about me. That way they can keep on sending me phishing emails and texts. Is it bad that I am more-or-less resigned to letting that happen? For today at least, that is the least of my problems.

Regardless, I have discovered something about this technology that works in my favour. I went for my usual walk along the waterfront this morning and then, after eating a delicious breakfast sandwich from the excellent Javawocky Cafe, I settled in to watch some podcasts and work on my crochet project.

Much to my delight, as I cheerfully relaxed in my recliner, I found that crocheting increases my step count! Isn’t that awesome? Google may have created the perfect fitness gadget for me.
