@#$%^$#!!! I loved that watch!! Nice big white face, nice sharp and big black numbers, 3 moving hands, second hand a different colour from the other two so I could tell the difference, and not look at the Second Hand when I wanted to see the Minute Hand, and it worked really well. Every year I'd go to one of my favourite stores, and get a new strap, and a new battery for it. Last night the stupid thing stopped, and today I decided to get a new battery. I got the battery, paid, and ran for the bus. When I got outside, I saw that it still was not working. I took it back, and they told me the battery was fine, the watch was the problem. DANG!!!! Now I need to get a new watch.

Anyone else out there go absolutely bonkers when you don't have a working watch? I feel like I'm missing a hand, or something!! LOL

after killing about 5 watches in short succession, I decided I wasn't meant to own one - I don't miss it now, but when I was first without, I was always trying to look at the darn thing!

That would be a good enough reason not to own a watch. I'm usually very good with watches, it's just the "inbetween" period when I don't have one, that's hard. I must have looked at my wrist 500 times today.

I'm sorry to hear about your watch problem but afraid I can't relate. I haven't worn a watch in probably 20 or more years. Drives me crazy not to have a clock in sight but can't stand to wear a watch - always catching on something or just annoyes me having something on my wrist, feel like I have a handcuff on or something - is that weird or what:(


myLot reputation of 97/100. danishcanadian (20760)   ranked 21 out of 645 in ranting about things which annoy me  6 months ago

My idea of hard physical labour is typing. haha So I don't have to worry about it catching on anything.


myLot reputation of 98/100. byfaithonly (6302)   ranked 73 out of 645 in ranting about things which annoy me  6 months ago

LOL - hard labor typing - that's what I do all day, that and talk on the phone but also have ADD so I always manage to get caught on something - got my phone headset twisted up in my hair just today - don't has me how but I did, girl next to me had to help get it untangled:(

I love watches! I have about 12 right now with dead batteries... thing is... the batteries are about $10.. I can buy a new one for that at Kohls or Target and it'll work for a long time! But at the same time, I have some really nice ones and need to spend the $10 and get the bats and start wearing them..

I like the large face, regular numbers and black hands... I want to look at my wrist.. see the time and then move on in life.. instead of looking at a digital and trying to do the math as to how much time I have left or have used or squint at the tiny face/numbers or the worst...a watch with no numbers and you just have to take the best guess as to which number the hands are on or pointing to or nearest!


myLot reputation of 97/100. danishcanadian (20760)   ranked 21 out of 645 in ranting about things which annoy me  6 months ago

I wish I lived near you. I could borrow one, and even pay for the new battery, as "rent.":)

i actually can't wear them.something about my body chemistry messes them up.
they start losing time,then stop.so if i have one,it goes in my pocket instead.
but yes,i need one for the bus.

i usually get digital ones,but i do have a nice old style one.

Same with my Dad and my husband. They can't wear watches either.

Oh no! And good watches are usually often hard to replace. I have noticed that now I need the big numbers too, and a solid background preferably white.
I actually don't wear a watch at all - allergic to the metal really badly -. Neither do I use my cell to see what time it is. I might glance at a clock in a store in passing, but so far I do really good without a watch:):)
Still I know what you are feeling. I still tried to use a watch some time after I got my allergy, and it was very hard to find bracelets that didn't have any metal in them - even just the little pin. So every time I found one I wanted it go last forever:)

Not me! I used to be that way, but several years ago I stopped wearing a watch. I have 2 that I really like a lot but I have some kind of cyst or something on my left wrist that was getting irritated, and I thought why do I need to have a watch on all the time, so I just stopped wearing it. I have a cute one with a pop up cover and the face has an Anne Geddes picture of a little baby dressed as a bee on it. The other watch I have my sister made for me. It has a beaded band and the first time I wore it, it fell off my wrist at a restaurant, so she changed the clasp on it. It is a bit too tight so I haven't worn it at all!!

Hey there danishcanadian! Don't feel so sad, I'm sure you'll find a suited watch for you, maybe not better than the one you lost, but hey better than no watch at all right?... I never get out of the house without my wrist watch, whenever I do I just feel like there's something missing.

Man, it must really suck to not have a working watch. I used to have a watch that I wore all the time. But unfortunately the mechanism inside it completely broke down. So I just use my cell phone to tell the time for me now.

sadThis reminds me when i bought that second hand old old cellphone to a store owned by a Muslim guy..no offense but am not generalizing every one, just a more few scums out there. here's the story, i heard rumors in my country doing good business to customers but very very bad customer service and that also includes indirect fraud. i bought that phone for 10$,he said if there's a problem, he promised he'll replaced it free..but when there was no Signal, i went back, he said he'll trade it for another 12$..what the hell?! i never went back and a family friend went pissed because he boils when ever he hears fraud or scam..but i don't wanna cause trouble with a Muslim, most of them are violent and vengeful here.SO, i never went back and promised never to buy from local Phone store when they sell "stolen" or poor fixed phones. sad.
