Casio F-91W
Tells the time. That's it. That's the point.
The most iconic digital watch ever made. No step counter, no heart rate monitor, no Bluetooth, no notifications on your wrist. Just the time, a stopwatch, and an alarm. Water-resistant, seven-year battery, and weighs almost nothing. Worn by presidents, astronauts, and people who want to know what time it is without checking their phone.
Why This Has Friction
A smartwatch is a second screen strapped to your body. Every buzz, every notification, every ring closure gamifies your day into a series of interruptions. The Casio F-91W answers the only question a watch should answer: what time is it? You glance, you know, you move on. No temptation to scroll, no reason to linger. Fifteen dollars to reclaim your wrist from the attention economy.
