re: apple thingy 

@kirby that's a Breitling Chronomat, one of the first watches to have a slide-rule bezel

Slide rules were used for quickly calculating things before calculators were invented and someone had the bright idea of adding a circular slide rule to a watch so people like engineers and scientists didn't have to carry one around with them

Later on the same idea was picked up by pilots

also smartwatches

@troubleMoney wonder if an Apple watch can even tell the time without a multimegabit mainline to Cupertino

@troubleMoney I mean, this really isn't a fair comparison...
The Casio is way easier to use.
