That's nice if you're not working. Tomorrow, however, I have a meeting with the Mayor at 1:30 p.m. I have to give a staff meeting at 9 a.m. Besides, with my watch I have a stopwatch, alarm, date, second hand, and a second watch face. I can use it as a compass (it's analog, obviously) and there's a elapsed time bezel. The sole complaint I have is that it's battery powered and not self-winding.

My watch has become like my pocket knife -- it's there when I need it and otherwise I ignore it. It's lightweight and I can do a lot of different things with it.

But different strokes and all that....

(When I bought the watch the salesman told me that it was waterproof "down to 300 meters." I replied that if I was 300 meters underwater I had bigger problems than what time it was.)
