How many clocks do you have to change?

[Daniel]

So to make a note of it-

My Casio digital is F-91W.

It's a decades old classic. Actually it's one of the most famous digital watches.

It's old school size designed before the world headed in the big watch direction.

It has time (duh), military time, calendar, alarm, stopwatch, the ability to perform a "grandfather-like clock" function, and a backlight function.

I have a hard time seeing any of it because I'm farsighted.

I have bought this same watch over decades. I used to be able to read it as clear as day. Life.

It has 3 physical buttons. There's a very completed set of instructions about which button to press, which to press simultaneously, and which to press and hold, in which sequence, to hack it, let alone other functions. It's easy to press and hold to turn on the back light. That's about it for my old self.

My plan is to let the battery die and keep the watch, and continue to wear it occasionally.

I wouldn't be without one. I can't set it. And inflation. I've told this story but my Casio analog, white dial, small Arabic numerals (the large numerals variant came later) went from $13 to $29 in the most recent price hike (for a watch that never had price hikes).

So I'm not paying for another digital, and the analog will get a battery replacement.

Interesting trivia- There's an urban legend that OBL used this watch to detonate the Twin Towers on 9/11. Yes, even though airplanes were involved. Yes, even though OBL wasn't in the US on 9/11. Yes, it makes no sense at all. But the urban legend continues.
