"US officials view f-91w wearers with suspicion"? Better keep an eye on this guy then: https://i.redd.it/5o061ntl2m651.jpg https://i.redd.it/b4j5fzl4d6f41.jpg
He had it, but he didn't look at it. Certainly not to find out what time it is. He also didn't inhale.
I had a package of these opened by a government agency in the US! My partner at the time had and loved one of these and then lost it, so I bought 8 of them for like $7 each from a store in the UK. When it arrived it had all this official government tape on it and a note that it had been opened. I forget what the tape/note said but it was not obvious which agency did the opening. Not so long after that I had something…

I dunno. For me this watch is nearly perfect. It's incredibly thin, lightweight, waterproof. It shows the time, day and date. The battery will last for 7-10 years. I can wear it day and night and never have to take it off or do anything for it. I have a collection of other watches including Apple watches and Swiss mechanical watches. None of them are as practical and hassle-free as this watch.
> For me this watch is nearly perfect. The UX is poor though. Once you've finished with the stopwatch, the next mode-button press leads to the time-adjustment mode rather than immediately back to the current time display. Any destructive modes such as adjustment should be protected behind a long-press, not interleaved into the routine mode cycle. It's also frustratingly easy to knock the watch out of 24 hour display…
Used to say I couldn't afford a watch I would wear. Then I got the modified F-91W ( https://n-o-d-e.shop/ ), now I wear a watch. Having a dumb watch gives me one more reason to leave my phone behind or off.
These are great! For less than $10 each, I’ve bought a bunch of them and left them scattered around my apartment and various other places so I can always find a watch. If it’s starting to take me too long to find a watch then the watch density must be getting too low, so I order some more.
at first I had to laugh, but then I realized I do apply the same strategy to chocolate
It might not be good enough for the most purist of terrorist-chic aficionados but it looks almost identical and in terms of functionality it's definitely worth the step up.
I bought a gshock about 16 years ago when going through military training - during the time I had two other watches stop working. The watch has been in some harsh conditions and has taking a beating, its worn down to the point you can no longer read the text captions, but you can still read the time perfectly, all functionality works, even the light, and its still on the original battery.
My main issue with G-Shocks is that the actual time digits are tiny in relation to the case size. Most of the face is covered with clutter.
