F91W is my favorite beater though

I hate the GPD Win shills on this board with all my heart, but I fucking love this thing. Emulates everything up to PSX.

No sarcasm, whats so cool on Casio Watch compared to any other digital watch?

I know Sup Forums hates it, but the Apple Watch. It's the best smart watch I used, the pairing is reliable, the notifications work better, etc.

Also it's 100% replaced plastic cards for me because I live in a country where Apple Pay is accepted everywhere. I don't even carry a wallet most of the time now. It's fucking great.

Seiko is even more dank when it comes to 80s digital watches.

>No sarcasm, whats so cool on Casio Watch compared to any other digital watch?

Best price/quality. It only costs 15 euros, keeps working for many years, it's water proof (not even advertised), basically the only thing that needs replacing is the plastic watchband. Also, it's so reliable that terrorists use it in bombs.

Come at me bro

Excellent goy.

>yfw you are one

Thanks for answering user!

...

Back when Hong Kong was still our my old man purchased me one in 1994

Water resist =/= water proof baka

whoops wrong model

Then maybe they don't advertise it as waterproof because it isn't?

Maybe they can't advertise it like that because of something they don't do to it in the process of manufacturing, but I can confirm that they are definitely waterproof. I've swam with these watches for many years, never once did any of them die because of water damage.

this looks comfy as fuck, never had one myself unfortunaly

Nothing's waterproof; everything will collapse at some depth (even if the depth only exists theoretically). Casio doesn't use the word "waterproof" because they won't generally even hold up to the pressure of the deep end for more than 30 seconds without leaking (which is something people would probably try if you told them it was "waterproof"). But they'll hold up to being submerged in cup-deep water pretty much indefinitely which is useful.

Glorious

I just love the aesthetics of these old Casio watcher

>But they'll hold up to being submerged in cup-deep water pretty much indefinitely which is useful.

Can confirm that you can dive to four to five meters deep with them. Just not sure how many times though.

...

>not sure how many times
The question is not how many times, it's for how long.

>yfw you are one

Uhm, would a shill say that it downright retarded to pay that amount of money for the GPD Win/GPD Pocket?

Because that's exactly what I'm saying.
The price for the GPD XD was al right though, even though I was slightly mad that I also had to pay import taxes.

>Pros
Emulates everything up to a PSX
Playing Doom with D-Touch is god-like

>Cons
Shoulder buttons are incredibly uncomfortable
Emulators =/= the real thing
Backlight bleeding
Chink shit, so if anything happens you can kiss your money goodbye

Would probably buy again though.

Replaced my terrorist watch with pic related. Much recommended upgrade. Just as ugly with way more features and durability.

How does that wristband hold up over the years?

...

Shrug. I've had it for six months.

This keyboard but in normal QWERTY

The OS, not the device. W10 is a botnet, but I really liked WP 8(.1). Snappy as fuck, my Nokia 630 works as good now as when it came right out of the box, contrary to all Android devices I've ever owned.

Too bad that

Forgot pic

Is this still the official Sup Forums data dongle?

1975 King Seiko Special 5256-8010

This 42 year old collection of springs and gears, on average, keeps exactly correct time.

The longest I've ever recorded the accuracy for is 18 days straight. In that 18 day period it never deviated from the exact time be more than + or - 1.3 seconds and finished the 18 days at +0.0 seconds.

This is, by quite a large margin, the most accurate mechanical watch I've ever seen.

I like the thing it does with the background where the "panels" are see-through and the background is shown through them

...

I switched to one of these.
Pretty much the same price, more and better functions.
Downside is that it is much bigger though.

I liked when computers were predominantly designed as industrial tools, not as consumer toys

At least it isn't hackable for the CIA

>Sistem51
Would Sup Forums be interested in these?

remember when everything wasn't a mb clone?

>It only costs 15 euros

I got mine for 8.

>$399 burgers
nope

Where.

You could also put a numpad in that bay

Patrician taste, user.

Neat.

Water proof isn't even a fucking thing.

Mobile devices used to have a properly engineered set of accessories and functionality extensions

Now everything is just built to use a browser and most accessories and feature extensions come in the form of a usb connectable tumor

Sistem51 has a neat concept behind it, but holy fuck the designs are ugly.

Without getting technical, the mechanical movements in those things are hot steaming garbage.

You can buy watches with real actually decent mechanical movements for what Swatch is charging for disposable garbage.

>mfw half of the posts on this thread are candy-ass watches.
>mfw this whole thread is Sup Forumsunworthy
>mfw everyone in this thread is probably a phone poster

The biggest problem that sistem51 watches have is not being able to open them up for repair. To be honest, there are some swatch watches that I like, but their shit is far too expensive for me to ever consider buying.
(Not to mention swatch group at large is an extremely jewish company)
So I stick to my seikos,vostoks, and casios instead.

sayguhhhh made so much sense

Remember when you could upgrade your pda with cf camera, wi-fi, gsm, gps or many other modules instead of buying new device?

vaguely

...

going back to modular mobile hardware goes against our principles!
Remember, always on, always listening?

This project was a step forward. If you could remove the baseband processor you could have a close to free mobile device

openpandora was the coolest shit. Never did get one though :(

>He didn't get the phone dialer

youtu.be/tu0ywC8am-Q

Feels good to have a player that is not constantly draining phone battery.
Feels even better to also use it as phone headset and "smartpocketwatch" to read caller id, incoming sms and emails or even place calls or send sms replies from templates.

Imagine where Sony would be if it had American top management

So much wasted potential

this piece of shit was DOPE

I've ever had this one. It was good watch except bad strap.

god damn that's pretty

I swear to god, if lenovo doesn't release a retro thinkpad with the shit we love from the IBM Thinkpad with modern specs and lighter, then they are gonna go the fucking drain

>using ugly terrorist watches.


You should ONLY use watches for fashion these days, there is no reason to wear one just for its functionality.

Is SPARC completely gone at this point or are there still weird niches that use it?

If you are reading these reviews you are at that point where you need some rational reasons to justify this baby, because, honestly, you are looking at the DW5600 or the GWM5610, and you think "WTF is the deal with this guy here, it's almost the SAME watch, why on Earth would I spend 3x that amount"... well, my friend, you only have to do that if you want to have the honor of owning Mankind's ULTIMATE TIME KEEPING WRIST TOOL.

This guy here is the pinnacle of human achievement* in timekeeping. Every night it syncs itself with an atom hundreds of miles away. Perfect time all the time, because that's what you want from your watch, pure undistilled, no BS time keeping. You look at the screen and you connect to the universe heartbeat itself.

Secondly, the connection with the universe doesn't stop there. It's a Tough Solar, so it has solar panels that collect the energy released by hydrogen atoms fusing together 92,960,000 miles away... think about this fact for a moment.

Ok, now you are like, "yeah, but the GWM5610 does all of this already..." oh, I'm sorry, what if we encase this engineering marvel inside a stainless steel vault so it becomes indestructible? What if we also coat the vault with a polished Diamond Like Coating so you can see your own wrinkles decades from now? What if you remove all the flashy loud colors too, so you can wear it everywhere with anything (with this price you are going to want to)? What if we put this marvel together in Japan so Casio's best employees and tools can work their magic? what about that?

So, do Future You a favor if you like this style of G-Shock, wait and save a bit more, and get it. Future You is going to be really happy and glad that you did.

>tfw microsoft killed astoria, the only correct bridge to windows phone, because it confused "devs"
I cry every night

Also my 1020 stopped working. too bad, it was actually pretty nice with 8.1

the only practical use for developing for SPARC is if you have a warehouse full of Sun/Oracle boxes and want to make a distributed tagged architecture

old Sun boxes age poorly and really have no practical use other than aesthetics or opsec

was just wondering if there is random infrastructure still running on these old machines

obviously this would be rare since there is no more support

is there really any opsec application in modern use? would it be considered sec through obscurity?

I love my kindle.

It's a beater shit head

Don't run SunOS on them -- opsec poor bigly.

Gotta love pocketPCs

so it's really more about adopting the more obscure hardware into a secure OS?

how the fuck do you keep your gorilla glue from going bad. mine always drys out before it even gets halfway empty.

cap immediately after use
seal tightly making sure there is no glue on the threads that would get between them

HARD
CORE
PORN

I ordered one of these yesterday

They are so damn sexy

Should have settled for the step up the A158-168

vaio a shit

Did you mean this? ))) Now they use mobiles only, no needs for time detonation.

If I had the money I would have immediately bought one after this post

I thought about it but I loved the black wriststrap

(actually I just wore noname 5$ watches before and this will be my first watch I really was intended to buy it)

I bet the americans supplied him with the f91 w during the soviet intervention

I dislike plastic wristbands and prefer the electroluminescence led featured in some of the derivatives.

nah they kept these beauties for themselves

F91 and A158 have incredibly shit LED night lights.
The electro luminiscence ones are way better.

Shut him down.

I agree but some prefer the crispier digits of the models without electro-luminiscence

Best DOS machine. Need to get the battery in mine re-celled.
