I wasn't much of a fan of Fred, but my girlfriend (now wife) loved him, so I thought I better go and say hello and capture that I'd met it, otherwise she might not believe me. I remain a HUGE fan of Casio watches.

>I remain a HUGE fan of Casio watches. Which models do you have? I stopped buying them since the features are quite weak (no vibration, no countdown timer, poor UX), and the prices now are unreasonable for what they do (40+ euros for a basic plastic watch that only tells time is taking the piss, when that money can get you a fitness tracker with Bluetooth, color OLED, GPS and vibration).

  I've not bought a new watch for ages, but I still love those from the 90s and 00s. I'd have to go and look at them to find the model numbers (as much as I love them they are all in an ice cream box somewhere) - I have the later version of the camera watch with the colour screen, the original Casio GPS watch, the Casio mp3 watch (32mb!),a few databanks and infrared TV changer watches. Then a few Casio film (extra thin) and G-shock watches. A few digi/analogue and a some plain analogue. I kind of fell out of collecting them when I got into Seiko - but I only have 2 of those! But the Casio are among my favourite bits of tech to own. Of that period my favourite watch is an NHJ analogue TV watch with a 1 inch screen to view TV on. Love it. Sadly not so useful now, though I do have a small transmitter to test it with. https://youtu.be/LxCcI9ievIg?si=7maEKHK-9FUIj-mP https://youtu.be/LxCcI9ievIg?si=7maEKHK-9FUIj-mP
