I've gone retro with my watch. Wearing a simple Casio to avoid getting sucked into using my phone and checking notifications each time I want to see the time.

For my laptop I have an M1 pro macbook. It was a huge upgrade over the previous intel mac, but I don't feel the need to upgrade to the M2 or M3 machines, the M1 still feels really fast to me.

I likewise switched back to $20 Casio watch after a few years of Apple Watch. I loved a lot about the Apple Watch, but just couldn’t deal with the distraction and time suck of “let me see what time it is oh has anybody message me, my favorite person?” At first I was tempted to spend big on some Casio GShock and while the notifications wouldn’t be there I realized it was still scratching a similar “all-knowing” itch. So $20 Casio it’s been for awhile and I love it.

Quartz isn't retro enough for me...I find clockwork watches (especially with skeleton mechanisms) more appealing.
