The Panasonic Lumix GX1 - a retro throwback review
Just me again, your friendly, neighborhood tech hoarder. Alas, this time I managed to get hold of an actual micro four thirds camera, something that might still be considered relevant, albeit an well-aged model.
So stick around for this quasi-informative video.

No cheap thrills here, just an honest no-nonsense review of a very important phone, the contender, the Pixel 8. Seen here in the vanilla variant, it really does pack a punch. So let's see how far above it's price point can it go.

What is the most affordable smartwatch out there that is worth looking into and is not a total failure? I bet you didn't see this one coming, at least not at the ridiculous price it's being advertised. Yes, you read that right, 5 euros could actually get you a smartwatch, or at least, it could have in early March 2024. The seller? Why it's TEMU.com. Chipper Doodle - Electronic Light by Kevin Ma...

    Uh huh... and how often do you have to recharge that smart watch? Where as that casio... you dont ever have to charge it (just dont shove it in a drawer longer than 5 months, needs at least bulb light ), nor do you ever have to set it as long as youre in a location that has an atomic radio signal. As for price.... lose the sapphire crystal and titanium and you can drop the lineage and get a wave cepter for about 90 bucks cheaper. Even seen them at 80 bucks sealed, if you go with leather, cloth or rubber straps. The Wvq 410 or wva 640 and 630 can be found like that.

      Good point. It's been 3 years since I filmed that clip, alot has changed, I have improved, I guess it had taken me some time to draw up a conclusion back then, but it's that one. Surprisingly smooth and pleasant ride, albeit a heavy one. And as for a second hand car, all require TLC, so no surprises there. Each time I see one in my area, my heart skips a bit, although they are getting rarer.

    • @techbytech85
      @techbytech85 2 місяці тому

      I wish I could, but the answer with these oldies is always the same: check Ebay or the equivalent online thrift web platform in your country and hope for some part to come up. Right now, on the biggest site in my country - OLX, there are fewer than 10 such gadgets for sale, and that is the whole Ipaq range, not one particular model or series. That is awfully low, even for an obscure piece of tech like this. Recently, I have said, jokingly, that the Ipaqs are so obscure, you can't even find them on youtube any more.

      I always thought you missed out by not getting the diesel options. Yes, they pollute, but honestly, so do gasoline engines. These golfs or rabbits, as you call them, have the look and feel of a modern classic. There is something inherently ellegant in the simplified design and engineering that went into them.

    I have this exact watch for over a year now. And love it. The bracelet is all titanium. The case is all titanium. It is super light weight. The crystal is sapphire. Removing or adding links is 50 times faster than using special tools. 15 minutes in direct sunlight, or 8 hours under my LED desk lamp gives me 5 months of battery power. It sets the exact time to less than 1 second accuracy, by radio automatically every night. You do not have to do anything to make this happen. It has count up timer function and a countdown timer function which I use every day (making coffee and tea). First responders and police often choose this watch. Time on their wrist is of great importance.

As for a passion project for myself, I ended up purchasing an Mx-5.

      I feel you, so right. I got mine a bit later on, in 2003 or so, and it was a battered example, but I managed to change the whole housing because it was cracked at the middle and didn't hold its battery. Needless to say, it was a knock-off housing, so it didn't quite fit and created a whole slew of other problems. But I soldiered on with it, and over the course of a few years, I encountered about 3 or 4 other sl45s, even a minter. Just brings back fond memories.

Is this your plan, to transfer a 2.4 jtd in a croma? I don't believe they were sold with it, but I might be mistaken ( will check).

    My Casio WVA-500 battery lasted 14 years, and I suspect it was faulty from the start as it didn't charge fully. I replaced it and the new one works better, I guess in another 15 years we'll know if it outlasts the first battery. Smartwatches need to be charged so often it is annoying. Bringing notifications to my wrist is not really a benefit, we are distracted enough already. Having reliably accurate time in this small lightweight package at this price point is amazing. Titanium, sapphire crystal, solar charging, atomic time, lots of features there too if one wants to use them. This is one of the best combinations of features/value/price in Casio's lineup.
