    Big honking 1000M diver today. Even though it's 49mm in diameter, the lack of lugs makes it wear much smaller and more like a 44mm. Titanium case and ceramic shroud keep it nice and lightweight.

    It's an HP12C. Is it considered "old fashioned" now as I think it's still in regular production.

    I use my phone or excel. I haven’t used a purpose built calculator in many years. Probably not since I was an engineer.

    Excel calcs so I have a paper trail for me.

    I hate not remembering where a number came from.

    That's also an old fashioned writing device in the background that us old timers call a "pen". I imagine all the cool kids use a stylus now on their touch screens. Yes, I also like antiquated horological timing devices instead of apple watches and fitbits.

    It's ballpoint caran d'ache 849. Not many watches these days, have the Seiko tuna, couple of grand seikos and a speedmaster pro but I mainly just wear the white dial GS during the week and the tuna on the weekends. The other 2 just sit in the sock drawer.

    I do pens too, mostly fountain pens tho as they are the only ones that make my writing somewhat legible. And wrist shot to keep this thread on track.

    I did not think we had a pen gang.
    All fountain. All daily drivers. Nothing super fancy. All reliable pens.
