Ooh, this is neat, new thing from Sinn, the DuoFlex diving strap system

Has tool-less quick change for straps of different colours/lengths and quick microadjust for the length

Here's the product info sheet for it: sinn.de/en/Download/Bedienungs

well, this is unexpected, turns out Stone Cold Steve Austin and I share some favourites as far as watches are concerned

Here he is on Hot Ones wearing a Sinn U1 SDR

Here's the world's first pilot's watch

Made by Louis Cartier for his friend Alberto Santos-Dumont, who was also the first person to fly a plane without wind- or hill-assisted bullshit

It's also credited with being one of the timepieces that first popularised wristwatches for men, previously the wristwatch was classed as a feminine piece of jewellery with men wearing pocket watches

huh, this is a neat thing I just found out

turns out on the Casio W800 there's a countdown timer function that's disabled in hardware

and you can enable it by just removing some solder

might have to do that to one at some point

with all those tardigrades being spilled on the moon we know what we're getting in a couple million years
