Is the face physical or a screen image?

I used to have a Fitbit with this face, 'cause I'm a massive and unapologetic nerd.

My B-I-L once bought himself a fashion watch (Ted Baker, IIRC) that, rather than the traditional '12 hours' face, had 24 hours and a strange way of telling the minutes using one half of the watch face. Completely unnecessary and a took a some mental logic to actually be able to work out the time.

I used to take great delight in the pub asking him the time and watching him struggle to remember how to actually read the thing whilst all the time mumbling, 'No rush...in your own time....any second now....'.

Wasn't long before everybody was asking him the time every 10 minutes*. :lol:


*Not that he could tell it was every 10 minutes, of course.

If I recall, that setting had a percentage reading for the wearer to calculate the chances of getting a girlfriend.... :P

;) Soz. Sci-fi bullying is NOT acceptable in 2021.

When I had a bit of skeleton chopped out, the dressing they fitted on the cut was impregnated with manuka honey as it, apparently, has great healing problems.

Van insurance. I'm now officially insured to live 24/7/365 in a van, all I need is the finished van.

Today's not very pleasing purchase is a flight to Ireland. I've just had six weeks with my parents, mum has got worse so back I go.

Managed to snag one before the prices shot through the roof.

Works perfectly and it makes my e-peen extra large. Apparently.

It's an end to "out of VRAM" errors in Max forever.
