Time to get a new watch. I just realize none of the time pieces around me are reliable except for my smartphone. The world has conspire not to let me measure time.
I lost my trusty watch some months ago and have gone without a watch since ...maybe since Oct 2013 - the longest I have been without a watch since I started wearing one. It just disappeared one day thought Nite swears it is just in some hidden pocket. Since then I have been trolling Groupon for watches but I never really saw one that I liked. I tend to look at watch as a long term investment as I only wanted one and I want to wear the same one for the rest of my life. Kinda like finding a life partner. It's personal to me like that :)
And like my sisters read my mind, they presented me with a watch for my birthday. It's the best present ever. Unfortunately after wearing it for a few months, I start developing faint scars on my wrist. The watch dial was too protruding and it scratch the skin until abrasions form. After stubbornly wearing it for a few months I had to concede defeat and sadly told my sisters I will have to stop wearing it.
Since then I start trolling Groupon again for watches again unsuccessfully. But as you have it, I found my old watch again..in a hidden pocket (darn it, Nite was right)- though it ran out of battery. So I had the battery replaced and start wearing it again. It started stopped intermittently although the date is correct - which is weird. So I had to keep counter checking the time against the position of the sun, my hunger state (I can tell time pretty well with my stomach) and with my hand phone.
And I wonder why I keep wearing it still....
