I upgraded my tech sanity, privacy, and focus mode with this $18 #casio watch. #retrocomputing#retrogaming#CasioCult. My $$$ Apple Watch should be jealous. Next time I go biking, I will try switching from my Apple AirPods 3 / Watch to my $2 Sony Walkman and wired earphones. Now then, I will be the weirdest person biking around the neighborhood. Someone (maybe a Gen Y or Z) seeing me might report on social media that there is an alien amongst us.
I'm a 🇬🇧, living in 🇳🇴. I write here mostly in English. I like minimalist cycles. I commute primarily by #Unicycle, #PennyFarthing, (non-motorised) scooter (a.k.a. #Footbike) and "#Halfbike ™".
I also like minimalist tech: non-smartphones, old school digital watches (#Casio), Slackware, Gemini/Gopher.
Professionally, I work for @Vivaldi as a QA and release manager for the desktop (Win/Mac/Lin) version.
Okay I’ll jump on the #casio train
My Waveceptor WV-200A
Not as barebones as the common favourites here but I got this as a gift ~ten years ago and it has the features I need. A countdown timer is a must for me.
Just replaced the battery yesterday and haven’t had a chance to get a successful atomic clock sync yet. Even without sync the built in calendar until 2099 makes sure the date is always right.
A bit bulky and the band isn’t my favourite choice of material but its been reliable.
