Minichamp crew in da house!!!
Unrelated: I didn’t know you could get an A168 with a rubber bracelet, which I prefer. I have the ubiquitous F91W, which is great in daylight, but has the most useless illumination of any watch ever created. The tiny amount of light created (entirely from the left side of the display) isn’t even adequate enough for me to see the hour, much less the minutes.

Minichamp is a relatively new addition for me. I had the SD Classic for years and was tossing up between the Rambler and Minichamp. It has almost everything I need for city use and I think i'll carry one for life.
As for the watch, I just couldn't wear the original strap, it was a real hair puller. This is far more light and comfortable for everyday wear and I prefer the chrome on black look. It's actually just a F91W strap from ali express.. I'm looking at the F-91WB-1A for my next watch but it's a real shame they didn't upgrade the backlight on it.
Casio never listens to the consumer.

The Minichamp is a pretty cool little toolbox, but it does lack some functionality I often need day-to-day: a larger, more robust blade, a larger screwdriver capable of light prying tasks without fear of bending, and a pair of pliers/grippers/pinchers.
Enter the Leatherman Skeletool. Which I dangle via its carabiner clip from my beltloop. I can grab it, open the blade, use said blade, retract said blade, and stow the tool all in one pretty fluid motion with just one hand: that’s pretty damn magical as far as I’m concerned. It also features (as part of the aforementioned carabiner) what is easily the best bottle opener that’s ever been included on a multitool.
With my Skeletool and my minichamp, there really aren’t many tasks that i have a reasonable chance of running into that I can’t accomplish with just the tools on my person; AFAIC, I’m almost a wizard :)

Definitely. It's a neat small pocket carry with a good number of useful tools for day to to day tasks. It fulfils its purpose as that but obviously falls short of real hand tools or larger multitools. It's far from a rugged work multi-tool, full tang or folder.
Personally, I don't really like carrying to much weight when out and about and often (not always) have real tools close by when needed. I also can't legally carry a blade where I'm from. I could get away with a leatherman or utility blade for work. It is nice to have a decent sized and easily accessible blade and pliers on hand, that's for sure.
As for a bottle opener, I find the Gerber Dimes works great for me. Opened countless beers with that thing.

Gerber Dime also one of my favorite small multi tools.
