Casio F-91W - the undisputed ruler of functional wristwatches.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

Hell yes!

Does your wristwatch carry a history of use in terrorism? Did it once raise flags at the border if you had more than one? I’ll wait…

I'm partial to the GA-2100 myself.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I was too, but now I swear on my GBD-200

You better watch your back, you might already be in a CIA list now.

That was an interesting read. Thank you!

(They never did explain how the wartch was used as a timer though. Like was it only this mass produced watch that could be used or can any watch be used?)

I think it's because how simple and ubiquitous it is. Just open the backplate and stick it to your detonator to use the speaker terminal as a source signal.
