The rumours were true, Seiko are indeed bringing out new watches to replace the venerable SKX, now coming under the Seiko 5 sports lineup

27 new watches in fact

90's inspired, custom module that lets you change the colour of the display (between 8 different colours), and some quite nice looking strap options

One of the things was a toaster with a "bagel" setting

what the fuck is a bagel setting and how many fucking bagels are you eating to necessitate a dedicated toaster setting for it?

This "Shop Well for Less" programme is a goldmine of "Wait, I don't even know what that is" and "You spent HOW FUCKING MUCH on a X"
