This was fun to read. "Gadget" definitely needs definition. Does it mean: has moving parts? Requires electricity? Contains "electronics"? If here it means "surpasses its expected lifetime as an electronic device", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_F-91W is a strong contender for me.

That's a timeless piece, no pun intended.

I have a small collection of watches dating from the 70s onwards, all of them are mechanical except for the F-91W which I bought during a moment of nostalgia, and it regularly gets worn.

I admit I feel like a hipster when I've got it on, but I struggle to care. Such a great design.
