Used to say I couldn't afford a watch I would wear. Then I got the modified F-91W (https://n-o-d-e.shop/ https://n-o-d-e.shop/), now I wear a watch. Having a dumb watch gives me one more reason to leave my phone behind or off.

Nice to see that N-O-D-E is still around. I could never get one of these watches so I ended up just putting the NFC tag in myself.

What do you do with the NFC tag in those watches?

  I don’t have one in my watch, but I have used NFC tags to do lots of things. I have one in my car that turns my phone into car mode, opens maps and my podcast player. I have one on my nightstand that turns my phone silent for the night and turns off a bunch of smart lights around the house. So really, you can do whatever you want with them. It depends on your imagination and what would be useful to you.

There's some other pretty remarkable watches you can get for 40$. Go up a bit and there's all sorts of various colorways for gshocks. The instant classic "casioak" can be had for 100$ https://www.casio.com/products/watches/g-shock/ga2100-1a1 https://www.casio.com/products/watches/g-shock/ga2100-1a1 The "100 and under" range is getting massively popular in the mechanical watch space as well. Vostok is a cult favorite and happens to fall in this range, then there's a whole range of homages (watches that are "inspired" by, typically nearly identical copies of in appearance, luxury watches such as omega or rolex) such as loreo, guanqing, and pagani. The youtube channel "just one more watch" covers the budget watch category extensively. Here's a "under 100$" video by him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOsVmor5Qwc&t=1275s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOsVmor5Qwc&t=1275s I have no affiliation, I just am mildly obsessed with watches and wish more people were too lol

That black watch with the silver face looks tremendous
