You took a $14 watch made it suck and charge $200 for it. So guys, this is the solid state watch made by CWNT and it's definitely a bit controversial. If you look closely, you can see that it doesn't have any better. You can't adjust anything on it. And that's because what they do is they take a Casio f 91 w movement, put it in this three d printed case, and then pour some sort of resin on top. This completely seals this watch movement, and that's sort of the point of this project. This project began as a celebration of the Casio f 91 w wristwatch. You seriously cannot find another piece of technology that does what it's supposed to do for as long as it does without any intervention. It's amazing. I have really mixed feelings on this. Part of me does appreciate what they're trying to do tier, leaning into that ultra simplicity. But the other part of me definitely understands the criticism that this has received online. At first when I took it out, I thought that this orange thing here was a better. But I actually just read online that this is where the date is. Because this movement doesn't account for leap years, the date will be incorrect after a leap tier. So they have to cover it up. Also, you have to input the time you want the watch set at before you buy it. I thought I did this right, but clearly I didn't. And now I have no way to change it. Fall for more peace.
