@mavica yay!

@arcans oh yeah, that was a whole thing when the second guardians of the galaxy film came out

admittedly the only "fitness" I'm interested in is fitness pizza in me mouth but neat features are neat

cool new G-SHOCK release, a proper fitness tracking watch thingy!

The GBD-H1000 series

https://world.g-shock.com/asia-mea/en/products/g-squad/gbd-h1000/

Has an optical heartbeat sensor, GPS/GLONASS/QZSS, altitude, barometric pressure, and compass

Also, most interestingly, solar assisted charging! The timekeeping and notification features will keep running just on solar, the GPS and heart tracking needs more juice so topping up the battery with the charger is advised after using that

@arcans I think it boils down to "smol thing cute" and then the internet jumped on it

like baby groot

@mavica ooh, ooh, idea just occurred to me, you could put some sort of mount on the front of the case for your pocketchip and control all the case LEDs from that to go along with whichever animation is going on it!

@mavica fair point, could always put them all in and do the controllery bit later though

walking into a hospital with green mud on my face

"the doctors said I should wear a facema... oh, yeah, that makes more sense"

@mavica no need for a proper controller if you just have them full on all the time

@mplouffe@scholar.social mostly just the usual lot, hodinkee, deployant, worn and wound, time + tide, fratello, revolution also do some good stuff occasionally

I tend to use the watchville app for keeping up with all of it, it's effectively just an rss reader but it's got a neat watch setting section that'll give you all the stuff you need for perpetual calendars, moon phase, etc.

@mplouffe@scholar.social all the brands involved are saying they'll be announcing stuff throughout the year, not sure just how spread out it'll all be though

In watch news Watches and Wonders Geneva (formerly SIHH) has been cancelled, joining Swatch Group's Time to Move and the Grand Seiko Summit in events that have been cancelled this year

@mavica ooh, very tidy

sharknado but reshot with all blahaj..es? blahajar? ikea sharky friends

@evie because "art" wankery

@mavica this leggy dame walked in to my office, she had like 20 legs, very leggy

@mavica I'd say stick with what you're happy with then

if it ain't broke and all that

@mavica I remember xfce being quite nice when I used that way back when

also cute mouse, that's always a plus
