The haters stole my last one, but I know I had to do it to 'em, so I bought the exact same thing again. Step tracker. Bluetooth time sync and phone finder. Casio ABL100WE. Ask your parents.

@SwiftOnSecurity@infosec.exchange I saw there's a great opensource app to manage these and the adjacent gshock models on the fdroid store, it even allows you to trigger other things on the phone and sync calendar events as alarms, I've been considering getting one for that reason https://f-droid.org/packages/org.avmedia.gshockGoogleSync

@SwiftOnSecurity@infosec.exchange I was looking at this but I've come to need the silent vibration alarm. And as far as I can tell (Casio's site made this hard to confirm) these don't have any vibration feature. Looking at the GBD-200 as an alt. Though I really liked the classic Casio style (totally not because of the #cassetteFuturism Alien linkage in my brain... Totally...)

@SwiftOnSecurity@infosec.exchange Now this is elegance for those who don't feel the need for others' approval. Top class.

@SwiftOnSecurity@infosec.exchange Spiffy! I had a casio that played dtmf tones to autodial payphones, back when those existed

@SwiftOnSecurity@infosec.exchange It frightens me a little that I am now technically one of "The Parents" you could be referring to...
