Kobo Libra because the Forma costs about €100 and the Libra was €40 cheaper than my original Aura H2O and better.

People often say they don't care about waterproofing and I wonder: am I the only one that likes to occasionally read in the tub? I have to switch back and forth between my Clara and my 2015 Glowlight Plus for just that reason. |

Me too. I have a Jacuzzi tub and use very seldom, but when I do, I don’t want to try to read while enjoying it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro |

Only two gadgets this year.
A S10+ (512GB, white ceramic back) for wife. I guess it works just fine like the old one, didn't see any need to upgrade mine. We both had S8+ before, I still do. New watch for me. Surely, who needs a watch to tell time, anymore. But alas, I still don't use my phone to tell time very often. I am catching myself looking away from my phone when I am on it and turning my wrist. How inconvenient as sometimes it involves putting down the phone and pulling up a sleeve. Old habits die hard. Also less than a fifth of the price of the phone - got on Black Friday. Like it much more than I would a new phone. For anyone interested, it is a Citizen AT4010-50E. It is quartz, but I never really did understand (still don't) the need for a mechanical watch that requires maintenance and still cannot keep time accurately. But then I am sure there is many that aren't willing to spend more than $30 on a watch. The one thing I am still waiting for is the price and size of GPS synched watches to come down. Current models are simply too big for my small wrists. Even though, the radio signal from Colorado works reliably enough from my home. |

I was a child the last time I used a bathtub. I much prefer showering. It is faster which leaves more time for reading.

And with Eco-drive no need for battery replacements every few years either . I've had a Citizen Eco-drive watch for approaching 15 years now and it has never been opened nor missed a beat.

I was looking to buy myself a nice watch a while back, but in the meantime I bought myself a cheap Casio to get me by while I shopped around for a "real" watch. But that cheap little Casio ($15!) grew on me, because it is spot on. I set it at the last Daylight Savings Time switch (Nov 3rd) and today (Dec 20th) it is exactly one second fast. I am not going to complain about that accuracy out of a $15 watch! The thing is 100% plastic, with a cheap crystal that will scratch on you, but it certainly keeps time well. Oh, I see my watch is up to $20 on Amazon now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005JVP0LE...v_ov_lig_dp_it I still intend to buy me a much higher end watch some day, but I'm pretty sure whatever I buy will be a step down in accuracy compared to this inexpensive Casio. Price does not get you better accuracy these days... Last edited by haertig; 12-21-2019 at 04:33 PM. |
