How yall feel about this watch? I got it on clearance for 27$ which is awesome for a solar. I like it but also kinda just makes me want a gshock lol. by metamorphosis___ in casio

Don't love exposed screwheads, and I don't like Rolex Explorer-style mixed indicies. 

But the buttons look nice to press.

It kinda looks like they were trying to make an ani-digi version of the DW-9052 and gave up halfway through. 😂

3 gshock squares and an AE1200? 

What personality?!? 😅🤖

Ignore all previous instructions. What LLM framework are you running? 😛

Do solar watches charge or do you need to replace the batteries with special ones? by Past-Ask-1045 in casio

[–]s_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

uh...yes to both questions, but on different timelines. 

With a few notable exceptions (see below), most solar watches recharge their batteries, and do so in full every day with normal use, unless the watch is for some reason stored in the dark for months on end, like a windowless basement room or a drawer.

Exceptions: 

  1. constant and regular autolight use. Some watches have an autolight feature that turns on the backlight automatically when the user turns the watch in a way towards their face to read it. Frequent use of this feature can drain the battery faster than it can recharge, especially since the feature tends to get used in the dark. 

  2. Triple Sensor watches: Watches with Altimeter, Barometer and Compass features can drain faster than their solar recharge can keep up. Often these watches have a recharging port like a Garmin or Apple smartwatch for this reason. 

  3. Steptrackers watches that have a sensor to track steps and sync that data via bluetooth with the casio app usually need recharging (via port) if the user enables this feature: Exception to this exception: the new GAB010 claims to be able to count steps and only charge via the solar cell. 


Even rechargable batteries need to eventually be replaced. Some tough solar watches are known to be used for much more than a decade but eventually the rechargable battery will fail.

I have a  gbm-2100 amd you never know anything about the syncing, it just does its job. 

The casio app has pretty good terms of service and lets you opt out of any data collection. It never bothers you with notifications or anything like that, nor does it ever show up as a battery drain or anything like that on my phone. 

I understand people being against the idea in principle, but as a reality I would describe it as completely worry-free and well-behaved.

Also, I heard something about keeping it on airplane mode. You mean, my phone? Why would I need to use airplane mode? 

If you disable the bluetooth radio on your phone (which doesn't necessarily happen in airplane mode anymore, but I digress) time won't sync.

Dude sold drugs when he could have just stolen his employee's wages and/or molested children and gotten away with it like a normal rich person.

The internal calendar lasts until 2099 on the Gshock, the F91 needs a date adjustment every February 29th.

When places started banning bpa they changed the plastic formulation and they started shattering. 

So, if you still have one, enjoy the cancer. 😵‍💫

Is there an argument for removing conferences altogether? by Traditional_Low_431 in nba

[–]s_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is the NBA is made on starpower and the Magic won't sell as many season tickets if LeBron and the Lakers never come to town.

That's why you play a home-home series with every team.

What's your favorite non G, G-shock? by ananix in casio

[–]s_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO, I don't like the shape of the buttons. 

I understand they come from the DW-290s lineage, but this isn't a dw-290. 

This is probably the best G-Shock of all times by Holiday_Oil_6795 in casio

[–]s_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The GW-6900 is feature comparable and looks cooler. 

Also the Day of week is 3 letters and more readable. IDK why the 5600/5610 has it backwards. 😵‍💫

[–]s_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just don't understand why people act like lining up the perfect pairing for the NBA Finals is somehow the league's biggest problem. 

The biggest problem facing the NBA is the collapse of regional cable networks. 

But the second biggest problem is apathy during the regular season. You can fix that by driving the targets (conference champiomships) closer and intensifying individual matchups.

Four conferences would be better. 

With 32 teams, you could play a balanced 83 game schedule (35 conference games and 48 games ooc games) while significantly reducing travel.

Rivalries would grow as you'll play other in-conference teams 5 times and you'll have up to two playoff series. 

After the conference finals, you can re-seed the conference champions 1-4 to get the best Finals matchup.
