Pulled the trigger and picked up the Timex Mk1 Mechanical Field Watch for $79 on Timex’s website; they had it both 50% off and another 20% discount offer code EXTRA20. The MK1 reminds me of my Zenith and I’m planning to retire that watch and replace it with the Timex.  Overall, it seems like it’ll be a Seiko 5 grade watch and something fun and simple to wear.  Lack of water resistance limits this to casual wear, but that’s totally fine. While, I should have waited for the Apple Watch 8 or  Swatch Moonwatch…eh…why not?  I made room by selling $2,000 worth of stuff.  Something inexpensive and fun to alternate between my Casio’s and this Timex. And based on the brand, design and low price, this is sure to become a future classic.  Specs Case Material - Stainless Steel Case Diameter - 36mm Case Height - 11.5mm Lug Width - 18mm Water Resistance - 50 meters Movement - Mechanical (Seagull ST6?)

Wow its already 2 years later and time to upgrade my iPhone?  I've owned the iPhone 11 since 2020 and unfortunately feel the tech is dated due to its 4G connectivity and non-OLED screen. Options   I have many options in upgrades between the 12, 13 and upcoming iPhone 14 series about to drop next month September. iPhone 14 Pro iPhone 14 Pro Max iPhone 13 Pro   First Choice - iPhone 14 Pro My sights are set on the latest and greatest iPhone 14 and specifically the Pro model that is rumored to include a faster chip, better quality screen and some other enhancements that made the wait worth it. Form factor its comparable, both the 11 and 14 Pro have a 6.1" size screen, with the 14 Pro opting for a 120 Hz OLED.  And in just about every other spec category from battery, camera, processor and more it's leaps and bounds ahead of the 11; which is expected since it's several generations older. Second Choice - iPhone 14 Pro Max I'm not a fan of the 'phablet' big-scre
