I don't look at the watch much, just a glance now and then since my "internal clock" has pretty much gotten the rhythm down pat after six years and change. Additionally, I used to SCUBA dive. My watch (a gift from my Mom and Dad) is a nice Wenger dive watch which I've had for about 12 years now. It's on it's 3rd battery, been down to 120 feet underwater repeatedly, been banged around, and is still tickin'. However, on my days off I leave it on my dresser because I could care less what time it is. Oh, and I don't have a cell phone. Don't want one either : )Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-87886299807118782532012-05-01T17:53:52.839-04:002012-05-01T17:53:52.839-04:00I've worn the same analog-face, solar-powered ...I've worn the same analog-face, solar-powered Elgin for the past 12 years.Ticomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05720803685079678809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-50209259553240341092012-05-01T13:09:37.761-04:002012-05-01T13:09:37.761-04:00It seems a lot of you old engineer types do.It seems a lot of you old engineer types do.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-6111726686582958972012-05-01T13:09:02.816-04:002012-05-01T13:09:02.816-04:00I carry a backup compass.I carry a backup compass.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-995164635100504542012-05-01T13:08:05.272-04:002012-05-01T13:08:05.272-04:00Time, no matter how you measure it, certainly does...Time, no matter how you measure it, certainly does fly.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-1178526122151119052012-05-01T11:40:23.746-04:002012-05-01T11:40:23.746-04:00I wear a watch.I wear a watch.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-31164690953559711472012-05-01T09:32:27.866-04:002012-05-01T09:32:27.866-04:00Hey SixBears -

I know Hermit Jim and my husband gave them up the day they retired, but I'm too old fashioned to depend on a cell phoen for the time.
