Nice to meet you folks. Are new users allowed? I'd like to participate please.
I send you a screenshot of my clock available while I finish some paperwork and a pending promise I had. To me, the most critical daily time is the wake up alarm. I can't miss those from Monday to Friday. My smartphone is the responsible to wake me up.
Thanks for the raffle #Random_Coffee.

altosy: Hello chevkoch!. How are you doing good man?, I hope very well.
Good question, it delays more than a minute every three months, more or less. I mention minute as unit because it's easier to detect time mismatches comparing it to other electronics. I adjust the time and keep going.
Timex is a mixed bag, some defend it, others run away from it and I'm in the middle. This is my second Timex in my life. My first was like 20 years ago when they became very affordable. Back then people didn't have many gadgets with clocks to compare. Reason to not be able to provide a comment about it, I was satisfied with that one too. This one, was a gift from my lady in 2021. My opinion for safety would be to not invest on expensive ones, aim to the middle. I feel the cheap tier are prone to poor accuracy. Where is mine? I can't tell for its unvaluable gift reason, Hahaha. The power of love.
I said you asked a good question because I think the accuracy on budget is the why Casio is so popular. Add the extra functions like chrono, timer, alarms, plus durability and long shell life; and it wins many hearts every day for so long.
I have to go. Thanks chevkoch and Random_Coffee for this chance to conversate and have fun. God bless you good pleople.
Thanks, struggles and challenges all around me, but I'm very actively doing my best to navigate things in my life. Hope you are doing well.

About one minute off in three months sounds not bad to me. Better than my digital Casio I posted above. And a gift yours was on top, neat. All the blessings your way too.

Anyone may enter, as long as they are human :) As far as I can tell, you qualify too!
I've never seen a watch like that before. I'm a bit of a sucker for watches but not every watch. Some I see online I wouldn't pay a dollar for. Who designs these things? I'm in because I would like to have a shot at that game.
My bestest watch ever I bought at a market many years ago in the 80's. It was cheaper than buying at a jewellers shop but as far as I can see it is genuine. It died quite a few years ago when the battery split into the electronics; don't you hate that? Now it's a keepsake and I would never throw it away, I'll let my kids do that after I'm dead.
I've attached a photo.

I'd like to join the GA with the first watch I had:

A brandless digital calculator battery watch. Gifted by my parents
(The pic enclosed is the closest I found
in terms of the individual keys rubber bulky material
& its shape in general. Mine was completely black color)
I was amazed! A calculator on my wrist!

[A little detour:
Do you know that numbers story of 1707610/2 = 353805
"1 senior, aged 70, fell down from 7610 floors. Between 2 people told him:"
Read upside down:
Spanish, SOBESE = English, something like rub the wound]

Add to my hallucination, light! 2 alarms! chrono & timer!
Wow... I just had goosebumps remembering
How did it end?
The ink of the LCD screen stained it & numbers werent visible anymore
Yes, my quality kid care, like leaving it under the sun
during long periods of time probably helped...
It was a great, great companion
It is how all it started for me

Thanks for the GA Random_Coffee! But more important,
for sharing your best time vgame ever & the GA tematic :)
Good luck to all the participants!

I'm not in but I would like to recommend this game to anyone who hasn't played it.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway! Definitely one of the best games ever!
The jokes and references have aged well, absolute classic.
A great combination of adventure, action, comedy and an excellent plot.
To be honest, I don't use watch. I have smartband. Not the fancy one with many features. Just cheap one from Xiaomi - Mi Band 6. I like it as it motivates me to move and make at least 10k steps per day and I can get notification for SMS and calling (as I usually have phone in silence mode). Plus time - I can check my time :)

Regarding Casio - when I was super young, I got my first Casio (type Google oldschool to find those). I remember I really loved. Then Dad gave me his own (once he got new one). This one had solar batter, 2-3 timers (or what is is called). Damn. I recall those time. Maybe it's not about Casio watch but about how special I felt that time...

Thank you for this Casio thread. You made me a dreamer for a while :)

Alright, it's time to draw the winner. The dice of the high vampire lords have been rolled (random.org). It's been a good week, and I'm feeling inspired by the discussions here. Lots of nice chronometers in this thread :) I am throwing in another copy of Bloodlines to be given away

So the two winners of the best game ever are.. altosy and chevkoch! I'll be sending out PMs with the codes shortly.

It really was fun. Maybe I'll choose another of my many weird hobbies and interests as the topic for the next giveaway. Gadgets, road cycling, art, old Subarus, traditional wetshaving, GAMING? There's too many to speak of. Luckily I've stayed away from fountain pens for so long.

Thanks for attending the contest everyone. Have a nice weekend!
A 2nd giveaway of Bloodlines?

AWESOME!

And congrats to the winners; I hope they also love this Cult Classic of a gem.
Congratulations to the winners!
Nice giveaway, i just wanna say it truly is one of the best games. I think i bought the dvd version back in 2008 or even 2009 at full price since i watched youtube videos from papervampire those days, but he removed the videos something about lets play being flawed or something, he deleted the videos much latter.
I did play it with the community patch and it was a great gaming experience.
I only beat the game 3 times, with Malkavian first somehow the questions suited Malkavian first(even though lore said i was supposed to play as second story character), then the blood magician Tremere and last as Gangrel.
I also played a little Nosferatu but for some reason i stopped and didn't play it anymore.
Guess one day i will have to return to the game and play a different class.

Also congrats to the winners.
I wasn't in since i own the game on dvd
Congratulations to the winners!

Yay and WOW, thank you for throwing in a second copy, incredibly generous and quite unexpected. I enjoy giveaways that feature some creative effort or interesting theme, it was fun looking at all the time pieces posted. Since I dug the Nosferatu side of things WoD years ago, I possibly have some virtual sewer exploration coming up...

Congrats to fellow winner altosy, and thanks to Random_Coffee once more. You all have a great weekend too.
Congratulations to the recruited ones! :)
And thanks again to all the participants
& Random_Coffee for leading the enthusiasm!
Thanks for giveaway and congratulations to the winners!
