More frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need..
Discussion
A small parcel turned up at work today, in boring white plastic packaging. Opened this to find a boring white cardboard box, opened that to find something a bit more interesting 
My Croft watch via Kickstarter ( LINK)!
I'm really impressed with the presentation.
Initial thoughts are you can tell the price point, but it feels well put together and is exactly what I wanted, something that looks good but I can be a bit more careless with. I love the look of it, as good in the flesh as it is in the pictures.
It's a bit bigger than I had in my head, but still well within what I like. Although with my girly wrists I'm going to need to make a new hole in the strap so it fits me properly

Someone Lightning and Jaguar turbine blades, just because
And a fuel flow gauge for my engine project. It certainly doesn't need one on the instrument panel to function, but the sheer novelty value (and scariness) of seeing how much fuel it is using at any moment meant I had to have it.
Now I just need to figure out how to wire up the 8 pin socket on the back..

I got mine on Sat too, which was a pleasant surprise. I had the same as you, but with SS metal bits. I'm not sure when I'm going to wear it though as I have a Pebble for day to day, and a nice watch the missus bought me when we got engaged.

My Dad might get it for Christmas.

Out of interest, what number is yours (on the back of the casing)?

Nuts! I've ordered an Echo! I already have a lovely HK speaker and I don't own anything compatible with the Echo, cue future expense! 
I see the £99 promotional offer has now expired. I pre-ordered the Echo Dot and a wifi plug for £73.98. I figure I can move the plug around to see what works, then buy more if needed. Im thinking bedside lamp, kettle that sort of thing.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Amazon-Generation-Black-S...

I don't know if every one is keyed the same, but the bitting on mine is quite shallow, meaning I managed to rake it open in about 5 second on the first attempt.Got the padlock open on the 4th or 5th try...good value at the price it is, the padlock looks cool!
It'll be useful to use for getting to know the feel of pins, feedback and false sets though.
