Exactly, that's the point -- it all comes down to price/performance, in other words: will it do what I want for the right price, and it does. It's made by HP, and every machine or peripheral I've ever had from them has been consistently durable & reliable. Plus it has one feature that Apple machines never have, which is flexibility: I'm not locked into using one company's hardware or software

Who wears a watch these days? You asked, I told so why not have a watch that will be more than a watch Because it's useful, I can have all info I might need on it, yet leave my phone at home if I wanted to. That's a myth

My loophole You're anti capitalist But It's my company phone that is supposed to be with me 24/7 so if I did not have it with me (I claim I was out of range of a mobile tower when I have to when questioned on why it was turned off) you should be happy I neglected my responsibility to my employer

Oh well, my beloved Casio's battery ran out and it also looks like I'd have to change the plastic wristband... again.
But after 22 years, I've decided to send it into retirement (not in the Blade Runner sense) and bought myself a new one: It's a Seiko chronograph and my first watch of this kind. Yes, it was expensive for my humble financial situation but who knows if I'll ever own a watch like this unless someone gives me another as a gift. I also couldn't resist getting this classy Seiko as it sounds close to psycho. No, seriously, I'm one of those guys who feels naked without a watch. |
