Watch?
Why?
My cellphone, palm, gps, digi-camera, speedo all tell me what the time is.
But I do have a polar pulse monitor watch for training.
One hell of a ride.

Yep, it was about 5 years ago. About Time in Newmarket did it/got it done cos I bought it from there but popular wisdom is get the agents in Chch to do everything as they're so good.
on the up
I have a Citizen Wingman, which I had fully overhauled by Capital Watch Services last June when I binned the FZR and the strap was broken and the glass face scratched.
Cost me $185 for new glass, strap, and getting the seals redone.
Stupidly I didn't get the battery replaced and now its running out, which means I get about 2.5 years out of it.
Not too bad for a watch which has so many functions ...
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

< has one. quite handy not having to worry about changing the battery
unless you can prove it.
About four years mine lasts before needing a feed.
My other watch is one of those wrist movement windyupbyitselfjobbies. Apparently when you move your wrist around it generates an electric current, sufficient to charge a small battery within the watch. So I was thinking of getting shed loads of porn DVDs in this weekend and wiring my watch up to the TV in order to power it. If I slow down on the wrist action the TV then dies, so the porn should keep me going.
I could be there for months.

I feel ripped off, mine has the same concept, but has no battery. Everytime i use the watch i have to wind the fucker up, reset the time. Can be bit of a ordeal when your already smashed.

So my cellphone, palm, gps, digi-camera and speedos may be overkill?
Maybe I should drop the speedos.
Man with one watch knows what time it is.
Man with 2 watches is never sure.

Some interesting watches people have. Noticed none are Swiss army knife versions with compasses and such.
I've always wanted one of those "wrist movement windyupbyitselfjobbies" or even just a simple a wind up one.
Have got other watches with analogue faces, but their batteries are all flat. Their batteries only last 2 years and find it's costly to keep running when they're not really getting used.
Got a wall mounted wind up clock, except it runs at 63-66 minutes per hour after I heavily lubricated it with silicon spray when it stopped working. Needs to go into a repair shop.
Also got a mantle place unit with chimes and glass door, but it's complete and broken. It's currently on top of my bookshelf and sometimes you can hear it going tick-tock for 1/2 an hour yet it's not had a windy up for years.
90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.
unless you can prove it.
I have a watch fetish, and have had for years. I'm the proud owner of 2 "nice" watches, and one "very nice" watch.
