Watches

Garmin is A+

I have a Swiss Army watch with a rubber strap. Water resistant up to 100meters.. I was going to get the leather strapped version, but I would have had to shell out an extra $60.

I bought a new watch yesterday. It is made by Request and it is black with a giant strap almost as wide as the actual watch Very Happy

$18.50 at my local Zellers at a 25% off sale Very Happy

I'm left-handed and have always worn my watch on my left wrist. This is because I was born into a world where watches had to be wound each day and the single stem that was used for winding and setting the time was on the right side of the watch. (No doubt to make it easier for right-handed people to operate the stem.) I liked the Timex Indiglo I had but lost. I replaced it with a $50 Casio. It is an analog watch with a digital display near the bottom of the face for different time zones, date, stop watch, etc. It is a pain in the pants. It's illuminated, but all but impossible to see in the dark when you turn the light on. The only way to change the analog display is to hold down a very stiff button that sends the hands spinning rapidly forward only. The date is just as likely to change at noon as midnight, even if I turn the time ahead 12 hours to get it in synch.
I recently bought a digital watch at a dollar store that has a clip instead of a strap. It doesn't even have a brand name on the package. It keeps great time. If my Casio ever dies (That's starting to seem like too much to hope for.), I might just stick with my made in China Dollarama chronograph.
That raises the question of how would I find south using a digital watch. Simple: I know what an analog watch looks like so well that I could draw one from memory. I'll look at my digital to see what time it is, then draw an analog watch with that time, either on a piece of paper, in the dirt, or even in my mind. Wink
