Citizen / Accurist are a good deal. They're functional over everything.
iPhone stopped being a status symbol years ago. Can get them on Tesco mobile. Mine's on giffnaff :) Literally crawling with them. The only status now is not having one with a broken screen :)

Yep, I've tried Lorus, Casio, Rotary (I have my fathers old watch which is a Rotary and very precious to me) but none of them hold a candle to Accurist/Citizen watches.

When it comes CRO/DSO I want both, if I could get an affordable DSO tomorrow, I would, just like my watches, the most accurate are the Atomic Controlled ones, but I also have 5 others that aren't radio controlled but still accurate to a few seconds a month. I view them in the same way that I view a CRO and the Radio Controlled ones like a DSO :-+

Not so sure about Apple Phones and similar top end ones from other makers, there what these moped gangs start of with snatching from people who they have spied flashing them in public probably before graduating on to lightening raids in Jewelers, bastards.

N.B. that's a problem in itself for teachers: each DSO can do similar things in several different ways - but they all call it something different and it is located somewhere different in the menuing system.

Thats exactly right, not just for teachers though but for all users. Just as you get used to doing things in a certain manner with functions clearly assigned to a particular group of controls etc, along comes a newer model and hey presto, not only has the function been moved elsewhere but the method of implementing it has also been altered.
Can you imaging learning to drive and the car you learnt on had a conventional accelerator pedal but the new car you purchased had this foot pedal relocated and in the process it had transformed into a hand operated control on the centre console??? What we need is a proper convention where controls are sort of standardized and extra new one could be also incorporated in a sensible co-orderinated fashion, then we would all gain something and could move onto newer ideas much quicker and feel at home with it. Its the man - machine interface thats a radical overhaul IMHO.

bd139 didn't write that! You are putting words into his keyboard.

He's only quoting badly due to the blockquote bug. Context is maintained by big gap ;)
Regarding conventions: feature differentiation is done via breaking conventions. With conventions there is limited innovation possibility.
Regarding motorcycle theives: if I lose my phone to one, meh. I'd just buy another one. The real comms robbers here are the insurance companies who wouldn't pay out if it did get nicked. Up on their fees already. However if I see one in action I might accidentally flatten the fucker.
Currently disappointed because I bought salty popcorn instead of salt and sweet popcorn for lunch :'(

Yeah, your spot on with the bug thing, switched off the Wysiwyg option, it sucks. At the end of the day it is the insurance companies that are in the main the biggest robbers out there, next to the banks.
As to innovation, it can still be done by following certain conventions in the control layout. Are the basic controls of a Fiat or Skoda any different to those on a Rolls Royce or Aston Martin, you or I could trade up and be able to drive them away and slowly learn the other features as we go.
