Pardon me, but do you have the time?

One of the round ones is more analog than digital but I hear ya.

Listen, I know I've gone off the deep end with my rapid onset Casio addiction. After I got the first one I was hooked. I know many of the models look quite similar but to me the little differences make a huge impact on my like/desire for whatever model.

Somehow I got it in my head I want one with a moon phase gauge. Now I have absolutely zero need for such a feature but I think it looks cool. That square GShock has it but I just found out today the stopwatch on that model is only 1 hour. That's a deal breaker for me. Since I got these watches one of the surprise benifits is that I use the stopwatch and countdown timers daily and they are very convenient. Right now I've had my stopwatch going for 9 hours 7 minutes because I'm timing how long a candle I bought will burn. So now that the GShock model is out, I set my gaze on the old model Protrek. I love the 2 Protreks I already have and this older model has the moon + tide phase graphs along with all the other ABC features. And it all shows on the home screen which I really like. The downside to this one is that it's the older model with older sensor tech.

That's pretty much how all this goes. I find something I like, research it to death, find out it's never perfect and then decide if the good features and the price outweigh the flaws. I guess that's how it goes for buying anything but I do a extensive amount of research in a short time.

Put it this way. You will soon spend a total of $1,200 on Casio watches. That's what I spent on my "holy grail" Tag Heuer Aquaracer automatic, which will certainly outlast our current version of humanity. Your choice.
 
Candle update:

It burned for 16 hours on that day I commented about it and it finished yesterday for a total of 91 burning hours!

At only $4.50 from Walmart that's a pretty good deal. I think I'll buy 4 or 5 of them and stash em away in a closet for hurricane preparedness.
 
Back on topic, I like this one now:

Amazon product ASIN B07B9C5MSY
It's brand new and while I usually don't like the negative display, I think it looks good contrasting against the white bezel and band. Plus this model has the normal stopwatch. :) But no moon phase. :(

It's about $45 more than the standard solar, atomic square. $45 for the different color and display isn't that crazy a price jump.

You need to start collecting Yankee Candle candles.

 
Yankee Candle founder Michael Kittredge has one of the most insane car collections in the US. Here's part of one of his garages

Note that those are all Porsches. He has garages for Ferraris, Lamborghinis, American muscle cars, etc. Crazy.

What kind of jerkoff would buy the same car over and over with only slightly different features?

In an unrelated matter, which one of these should I get?

Important candle news!

During my scouting mission to my new work I stopped at a dollar store that was right across the street. I got a few $1 candles. Turns out the $1 candle is more economical than my previous $4 candle. The $4 candle burned for 91 hours. My first $1 candle is still burning right now and so far has been going for 24 hours. 4*24=more than 91. Looks like I should stick with the $1 variety from here on out.

I wonder what Hectic meant when he said it's good I got a job...?
 
First, you have sex with mangos, now you use hot wax? Sicko!

When can I come over, I'll bring the fruitcake.

My exact thought when I saw the episode of Chasing Classic Cars, featuring his collection. It's the most insanely wasteful, OCD thing I've seen. He likes to have every version of every model each manufacturer makes. So it looks more like the inventory lot at a dealership, than a car collector's garage. Also, on the TV episode, they showed how he had so many cars in each garage, he couldn't open the driver's door to get in, so he would have each car rolled-out to be able to drive it.
