So I know there's a watch thread, but it seems to be all about super expensive mechanical stuff, and I want to talk about Casios etc and thin analogs like Swatch Skin; seems like a different subject.
I was in the jeweller's the other day getting the missus a prezzie, when I noticed an old style Casio calculator watch... Did a bit of googling and it turns out they don't make them like they used to. Remembered I had a dead one in a drawer, and it turned out to be a DBX-100!
Unfortunately the buttons are made of mush, and mine looks like this... I've bought a dead example of a later one (without the full dot matrix like nearly every other Casio) but with better buttons, and I'm going to have a go at a transplant when it finally arrives... It'll be fiddly business
