    I own a bunch of Casio watches and I do like all of them. I just wish there was a G-Shock that had all the useful features and a few bonus ones.

    This would be the ultimate G-Shock for me:

    • Form factor of a G-Shock GW-M5610
    • Solar charging
    • Multiband 6 (a.k.a. radio time sync)
    • World time (UTC zone for server logs and the like, I too use this often)
    • 24h count down timer
    • 2 Separate stopwatches
    • Daily alarms with a short message
    • DD.MM date
    • Step counter
    • TOPT code generator for MFA

    I’d really like the watch to have a step counter, since it motivates me to go outside and exercise. I don’t need any fitness tracking or heart rate monitoring, since I’m not an athlete. HR sensors tend to make the fitness watches bulkier, ugly and power hungy. The solar charging and multiband time syncing make the watch just so effortless. The watch is always on time and doesn’t need battery changes. The GW-M6510 already has these and I love it! 24h timer would be nice, since most Casios are limited to 60m timer. Two separate stopwatches, since split time does not always cut it, If i need to time some multitasking. Most Casios have 5 daily alarms, I just wish I could attach a short message for those, and use them as more versalite reminders. And the MFA TOPT code is obvious for any IT job today.

    The raspberry is mainly for old vertical arcade games and a few retro console games. I think most of the games I’ve got there are MAME emulated. There’s this custom Linux distro RetroPie that’s tailored for emulation. It has a fancy frontend for launching the games.

    Swapping between the RPi and Steam deck is done manually. Actually its a pain, because I need to lift the monitor slightly off the chassis and fiddle with the cables in side. As for the games, Steam deck is the clear winner. There are many modern games even on Steam that can run vertical setup. Mostly pinball and bullet hell type of games, but Its cool to run something like Downwell with this setup. Oh yeah, the egstarts controller board is recognised as a xbox controller on the Steam deck, so its easy enough to map the buttons for each game as needed.
