My children call me old school, and sometimes even infer that I have been around since the dinosaurs walked the earth (charming!) but I prefer to call myself “old school style and proud” for certain things and whilst I am a huge lover of gadgets and things that help keep me organized that are technology orientated and I rely on my iPhone, AppleWatch and various other gadgets to keep me on track and juggling life, I do like to take a break and disconnect.
When I go on holiday and want to take a break from life and everything that we think we need to be connected to but don’t really, I like to go old school, and that means I ditch my “does everything” iPhone and reach for my trusty Nokia which literally does texts and calls, and now I have what my children regard as an “old fashioned” watch.
If you are as old (dinosaur-like, thanks kids) as me or older you might remember Casio digital watches. My dad had a fancy one, and I had a black one. They were THE technology in their day. And now they are back and trendy again for those of us who want a watch that’s just a watch but with a few extra bits.
Of course, mine is PINK. Did you think I would have any other colour?
Shaped in an iconic Casio design, this watch features a digital display, stopwatch, and an LED backlight. The watch is housed in a durable resin case. Suitable for everyday styling.
I love it and it’s perfect for going on holiday as a fun, funky and practical watch. My kids think it’s pretty cool, even if they tell me I am not as trendy as I like to think I am. I don’t listen to them… 😉
A pager which was basically the first form of texting.
I had one of those! I remember feeling so cool! 😂
A cassette tape
Oh yes, we had those. My kids are so bemused by that
Video tapes. They saw one a few weeks ago a local auction near us and they had no idea what they were. lol x
Omg I had a black one throughout secondary school and wore the strap out and kept buying funky straps for it in college. I now want to get one it was my fave watch
I am loving this one.
We had an old rotary phone that the kids thought was strange. They don’t know a time without mobiles!
We have one somewhere still, I must dig it out and show the kids
