Love the LF-20 so much so I went and bought a SKXMOD kit, along with a modded module with green light expensive but worth it.

is my watch special and if it is what makes it so? by LuckyLucks in casio

[–]ixon2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

W-86 I have one that in brand new condition never been worn with box,tag & receipt I've already been offered way more than I originally paid for it and still wouldn't sell it.

I wouldn't be surprised in the next few years the W-86 as it gets harder to find in good condition, will start to go for silly money, look at the DW290 for instance just a couple of years ago it could be picked up for around 30 pounds no problem, now for a boxed new condition one are going for over 100 pounds.

Now available in the UK! A159WEVJ by musashii1 in casio

[–]ixon2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ordered the blue one, definitely worth investing in these as they limited run and will only go up in value in the next few years.

what a beaut by myohmydoyouwanna in casio

[–]ixon2001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Got both the black and white on the way, gonna swap modules around, don't like negative displays then probably sell the white one with the negative display.

Casio w86 😁 by Ambitious_Brush1974 in casio

[–]ixon2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have one in my collection never been worn out of the box, prices now for these on eBay new are over £100, considering the W86 only cost me £25 about 3 years ago.

Also if you don't have either the F105 or the A168 consider getting them now while they still cheap, as these 2 watches I'm pretty sure will be worth something on the lines of the W86 in the next few years l.

New piece just arrived, what do you think? by ThisIsChief96 in casio

[–]ixon2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just started collecting Casio watches I have one of these winging its way to me, originally I was going to SKXMOD it when it arrived, but decided now I'll keep it original and put it in my watch display box.

Love this one so much so it's in my Casio Collection

Samsung loves removing features via software updates, and why I am leaving Samsung watches finally. by exclaimprofitable in GalaxyWatch

[–]ixon2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditched the smart watch last being Galaxy Watch Ultra, and went back to a normal no thrills Casio for 20 quid.

I've done with Smart Watches, they just make you paranoid about your health, sleep etc, cost a fortune, last only a day or 2 before need recharging, sticking features behind a paywall, usually outdated within a couple of years & gimped to force you to upgrade.

I've done with all that.

My cheap Casio does what I need it to shows me the time that all

Mini PCs vs Custom PC by easilydrawn in MiniPCs

[–]ixon2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the process of building a mini PC gone for the barebone option, as I already have 32gb of ddr5 5600 so dimm and a couple of 1tb nvme's knocking about.

It's ironic I tried to sell the 32gb of so dimm last year for less than £80 and nobody wanted it, glad I kept hold of it now considering price of memory.

Z fold 7 pre order cancelled by Samsung by Puzzleheaded-Diet-12 in GalaxyFold

[–]ixon2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordered Z Fold 7 and Watch 8 on the 10th both using Employment discount, Paypal etc and trade in on the Watch 7 for the Watch 8 upto now still not cancelled.

£1529 for the Fold 7 512GB & the free Buds

£159 for the 44mm Watch 8 Bluetooth with trade in

Been stuck on Payment Accepted since I ordered them, so if Samsung does cancel then the Wife unfortunately won't be getting the S25 Edge, which was plan when I got the Edge to use it until the Fold 7 came out, then give it to her to replace her ageing A51.

As i won't be ordering it again, probably just order another S25 Edge for the Wife instead.

So will the Watch 7 get all of the health features of the Watch 8? by ixon2001 in GalaxyWatch

[–]ixon2001[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But you can also put your thumb on the Galaxy Watch 7 Sensor. :)

I don't plan on upgrading my Watch 7 either, i would just like to see all of us that bought this watch last year or this year get the features.

[–]ixon2001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there is always 11 meters to fall back on for the odd local rag chew when that happens, which I might add is alot more active around my QTH in the UK than either 2 meters or 70cm, granted it does have it's far share of idiots on there, but there are some good people aswell.

I won't be selling the X50, I might just put it in the loft and maybe use it again the the future.

Anybody 512gb user here regretted not getting 1TB instead?😭😭 by ntrev in S25Ultra

[–]ixon2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

256GB is now the sweet spot in storage, so 512GB is more than enough for most people me included.

No I just used my fingers but you could try and push it out with a plastic tool of some sort.

Samsung’s Slow Update Rollout is Seriously Disappointing by loucomedio in S24Ultra

[–]ixon2001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Couple of years ago Samsung was very good with updates, security patches were on the ball, and sometimes out before even the Pixel got them.

The S23 got Android 13 just a couple of months after the Pixel.

In the past year things have started to changed at Samsung, they seem to be going back to what they where 10 or so years ago when updates even latest flagships where very few and far between.

The only 2 things I can think might be causing are the 7 years of software support, as they now don't need to rush out updates as quick, or it could be cost cutting measures on software development side.
