I keep tooting pictures and articles about really expensive watches, let's take this back to basics

This is the Casio MQ24-7BLL

It costs less than even the venerable F91-W, it's made of plastic and shows the hour, minute, and second only

Despite that, it's fucking brilliant

For less than the price of a cup of coffee you get a highly legible, accurate enough, reliable watch

And if you want celebrity endorsements, the fucking Pope wears one

I was trying to explain the concept of a "smartwatch" to someone

"...and that's what it does"
"but why?"
"no idea"

If anyone does know why smartwatches are a thing, answers on a postcard please

I absolutely love this whole ✨ Plush Punk ✨ concept

Oh hey, it's the 12th today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY COMPUTERFAIRI.ES AND HAPPY ADMINVERSARY TO @squirrel !

I've got that weird itchy feeling that there's something blindingly obvious I've not noticed, no idea what or why

Eh, I'm sure it's either nothing or I'll notice it eventually

I want to have one and paint it up like a vw camper owned by a hippie

Ferret Scout Cars are adorable and I want one
