#2I was so happy to see him being back to posting this morning, even if he noted that he doesn't plan to do it as often and considered quitting the content creation. This content always exemplifies the DIY hacker.

#3My GW-M5610-1ER is the perfect watch for me. Solar, Gshock robustness, water proof, radio controlled, cheap and looks 80s.

#4I got a Casio watch from Amazon about five years ago, there was a deal on and it was about CAD$20. A budgetary driven decision, for sure!
But it's been fascinating to see, over the years, how many times I've been approached (in a coffee shop or some other public place) by serious Casio enthusiasts, keen to ask about my watch and to show theirs. There's so many variations, colours, limited-runs editions... I seem to have accidentally stumbled into a niche with lots of passionate hobbyists - I'm sort of glad I had to replace the awful strap, which snapped, so I actually have something to contribute to the conversation. I had no idea Casio watches were such a big thing, but now I'm not at all surprised there are modding projects like this.

I got a couple of casio watches from Amazon years back. Then I brought one in a physical watch store and realized that all the watches purchased through Amazon were fakes. Especially the strap is so much better on the real thing.

I feel the same about by GW-6900. I have other watches, but I wear that one 90% of the time. No worrying about batteries, no worrying about me being a clumsy git, and it's always accurate.

I wouldn't have been surprised to find out my F-91W was counterfeit! But I just went and watched a "30 ways to tell if your Casio watch is fake" video on YouTube and it looks like my watch is legitimate. I probably wasn't careful enough with the strap, it just disintegrated at one of the connections to the face.

#8when I was in high school in the 80s we'd do the flipping the polarizer thing a lot. Never went beyond that though.

#9Love my AQS800W, does anyone have recommendations for a nato strap for it?

#10Not quite related but I recently got into the world of Game Boy modding. Kind of amazing to see all the things like people figuring out how to reuse high resolution IPS displays with old DMG Game Boys, Bi-inverter mods to improve the original displays, 3rd party shells galore too. All for stuff 20-30 years old.
