Interesting. Mechanical, battery or both?

I had a riding instructor who had to keep her watch in her pocket. Because within a half hour on her wrist it would be dead. didnt matter weather it was a wind up or a battery.

Dad said some people just magnetize em. Doesnt take much with a fine intricate mechanism.

Guess what... its 5:30 AM and I am hearing Ah Ah Ahhh... from the coop. No Cazoo Crow just a Short Ah Ah Ahhh over and over again. Very soft from inside the house.

Beastie finally became a Mann....

All my life I've had trouble with watches. Regardless of quality / price they all ran 2 minutes slow. I could reset them and within 24 hours they'd be 2 minutes behind again. Tried setting them 2 minutes ahead; made no difference. Self-wind or manual wind; all the same.

Then, along came digital watches. Every one I've ever had kept perfect time. Only problems I've had with them is after a while they quit compensating for the dst /st change., or the buttons quit working.

Four years ago, DW bought me a Citizen Eco-drive watch for our 50th anniversary. It's analog, not digital, and keeps perfect time. I have to fool with it for any month that has less than 31 days, but other than that, no problems for the entire time I've had it.

And I thought I was bad in that I killed watches.

You too?? I haven’t been able to wear a battery watch in a long time. Since shortly after my grandpa died 25 years ago. I kill them within a couple of days. New battery doesn’t help.

busted lurking.... LOL....

Both. Pocket watches lasted longer. Now I have my cell phone.

I’m funny about clocks, but I’ve never killed one surprisingly. I just replaced the electric digital click that I keep in my bedroom. I had it for over 30yrs & got a little emotional letting it go. It felt like I was throwing away a lifelong friend.

I will only allow digital clocks in the bedrooms & on appliances. Other wall clocks & watches must be analog (it’s a homeschool thing I think.) I prefer manual over battery.

My biggest thing is that I need them all to tell the same time. Nothing more irritating than losing & gaining time every time you change rooms. My distracted brain can’t handle it. If one clock is off, by God they all better be off.

Pocket watches are sexy! Especially the kind that you can see the gears moving in the back.

I can’t believe it!!! The most delayed cazoo of all time. He’s so big that once he gets that frog out of his throat he’s really gonna be belting them out. I hope your neighbors don’t give you any trouble.

Gotta run & go tell the kids what a big boy that Beastie is.
