Who's telling you that? I've been wearing one all this time, save for a few years of folly with an Apple Watch 4. In fact, I just picked up a new one two days ago since I left my old one in another country. No police has ever given me trouble.

I love not having to charge it and not having to worry about bumping it into anything.

(My new watch is a slightly updated model - W-217H-9AVCF, which is a little bigger and has a brighter, more even light in amber)

It started out with “your watch is so old it probably had a Wikipedia page” and the person jokingly looked it up scrolled down and it was an “oh shit” reaction… I love the watch and I still have it..

What if you're driving a Hilux technical?

Might raise some eyebrows in the US tbh, as they don't sell it there!

Is there a difference between the hilux and tacoma?

All I know is that the tacoma is built(assembled?) in the US. however I always assumed they more or less the same design.

They're pretty different designs mainly because of different regulations, but have the same purpose. Old Hiluxes are famously near-indestructible; Top Gear once drove one into the ocean and it still started.

…btw, "technical" means it has a machine gun mounted in the back.
