  • Why am I publishing my purchases?

    Accountability.

    A focus on quality, not quantity.

    A futile attempt to resist consumerism.

    What qualifies for publication?

    Anything non-comsumable.

  • The F91-W Philosophy

    I wear a Casio F91-W. Always.

    Why?

    Functional minimalism.

    It tells the time. It is durable. It is cheap.

    It has a backlight: practical at night.

    It has a stopwatch: great for running.

    It has an alarm.

    It has everything a watch needs.

    Nothing else comes close.

    Apple watch, you ask?

    The master of distraction. Notification preoccupation.

    Work when you don’t want it.

    A Garmin, you suggest?

    Data you don’t need.

    Strava sinkhole.

    A battery to charge.

    Expensive watch?

    London, mugging, target.

    Opportunity cost.

    Vulgar.

    The F91-W. Everyday.

    Consistency, Quality, Value.
