Must be a camera! Unless you got a Galaxy Gear since that would address the watch and camera itch at the same time.

Very old school. Completely manual and no light meter, right?

Correct no light meter.
I had to buy a light meter so I can get the correct exposure while taking a picture.
I got the camera at an extremely good price, it was recently overhauled and I should be problem free with it for next few years.
The only thing is developing 120 or 220 is very expensive. $10 a roll to develop and scan.
I hear it's really easy to develop black-and-white film three different kind of chemicals you're developing tanks and a little patience.
In a few weeks when I have more free time I'll start developing my own film.

That's really cool.
My dad had a dark room and I still remember being a kid and "helping" him out develop photos.
I mostly destroyed everything I touched.

I use to have a medium format Pentax that shot 220, but digital made it damn near impossible to find places to develop and print so I sold it.

For film development 35mm C 41 the best place is Costco $1.99 a roll to develop if you want a high quality scan on a CD I believe it's $4.99 including development For medium format or black and white film other than C 41 I found this place. thedarkroom.com/for $10 a roll they will develop 35mm or 120/220 film and scan it for you. It's so convenient that they will mail you a prepaid envelope for you to mail your film in. But I feel 10 bucks still too expensive so I'm just going to order some canisters and chemicals to do my own black and whites. For color C 41 Costco is still the best place and cheapest to do.

If they include high resolution scans at that price I think it's worth it. How will you do the digital conversion otherwise?

At a Costco I'm not sure on the scan but they but the images are on a DVD.
At the dark room the standard scan is included.
Standard Scan
Our Standard Scans will be more than sufficient for most people and have enough resolution to create 5”x7” prints and more than enough resolution for emailing, posting on websites or uploading to Facebook.
Download an example of a Standard Scan
For the geeky people, the file size of the Standard Scan is around 4.5 MB uncompressed. Files are compressed into jpegs and file size will appear much smaller and will only appear 4.5 MB when you open up the file in an image editing program like Photoshop.
Scan Sizes 35mm Film – 1024×1536 pixels - 4.5 mb Medium Format 645 – 1024×1398 pixels – 4.1 mb Medium Format 6×6 – 1024×1024 pixels – 3 mb Medium Format 6×7 – 1024×1255 pixels – 3.7 mb
Enhanced Scan
For those wanting more resolution, the Enhanced Scan is perfect for prints up to 12”x18” or if you want to use in a quality printed brochure.
Enhanced Scans are 2048×3072 pixels or 18.1 MB uncompressed. Remember that the file size will appear much smaller until you open it up in an image editing program like Photoshop.

Scan Sizes 35mm Film - 2048×3072 pixels – 18 mb Medium Format 645 - 2048×2797 pixels – 16.4 mb Medium Format 6×6 - 2048×2048 pixels – 12 mb Medium Format 6×7 - 2048×2510 pixels – 14.7 mb
Super Scan
Our new super scan is perfect for those wanting professional resolution or to never worry if you have enough resolution for current and future projects.
Works great for advertising, giant prints and large posters.

Cool! Love film photography! Enjoy! Hey Kate We almost put an Amber alert on you because you are nowhere to be seen. I enjoy film photography more than digital the pictures seem a little bit more warmer and with a soul. The only negative part is a developing but like I said earlier if you should 35mm C 41 processing Costco is the place to go. Good to see you !
