What's an impulse purchase you've made and it turned out to be awesome? (lemmy.world)

So I kind of impulsively bought a Steam Deck OLED this weekend, I hadn't really done much research and I haven't really played any games in about 15 years.

Now I have to wait for it to be delivered and, I'm worried this is something I'll use a few times and forget about it.

What's something you impulsively bought and fell in love with?

A Casio G-Shock! It’s the only watch I’ll ever need. My Apple Watch has been relegated to being used for workouts only! It’s so nice to not have to worry about smashing my watch against a surface bc clumsiness, not having to charge it bc solar & no notifications of any type!

If you sidegrade to a Casio F-91W, there’s a fun open-source project called Sensor Watch that repolaces the PCB to bring some nice features.

My watch can now tell me sunrise/sunset times, run 6 different count down timers, and act as a full dice set for DnD.

Casio G-Shock

Real nostalgia hit with that one, I've never really liked wearing a watch, and haven't really before or since, but for a few years in my teens, I was a huge Baby G fan, I had to beg my parents to get me one for my birthday lol

Yep, got 2! And Casios are stupid cheap on eBay. My wife and I are a bit addicted to thrift store watches. She just got me a digital Citizen for $1.99!
