I'd be way more impressed by the Sega watch to be honest. I probably couldn't spot a Rolex if you put a gun to my head anyway.

I also respect those thick ass medium end casios with barometric/altimeter sensors, at least you’re getting something for your money.

They're damn near indestructible, worked with strong magnets for pipeline inspection for years, the hands on my gshock would stop near them but otherwise unphased.

I commented elsewhere in the thread that Casio is still a status symbol - just to to a different, more pragmatic, group of people. Then I saw this comment, lol.

I too love to rock a Casio, and recognize others who do as well.

Though lately I've been hooked on my PineTime Watch. It's not as iconic as a Casio, but it costs about the same and does ship with a Casio immitation watch face pre-programmed.

Reasonably-priced Citizen Eco-Drive gang! What's a dead battery?

Wait what's the other watch called. I want that

If I want a fancy and over expensive watch I would get a pixel watch (gen 1 and used ofc)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wife bought me a pixel watch 3 for Christmas. I wear it all the time...

... I work as a section bender in a factory. You can't see it under my overalls.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Wait, where are you wearing it 😳

[–] [email protected] 5 points 22 hours ago

On my wrist but I wear a full boilersuit... We use burning tackle to cut the steel.

His name is "Bender Bending Rodriguez"

Edit: I did eventually get the actual joke you were going for.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago

Well, yes. My wife says I'm Bender from Futurama.

I bend steel, drink lots of beer and fart ~~fire~~ a lot.
