| The Story Behind This Watch |
I did not want the watch. Not the first time I saw it, anyway. Nah, not for me, I thought. Then, I tried one on. Damn. All over after that. I was with my soon to be wife when I tried it on and she saw the excitement in my eyes, and agreed to buy it for me as a wedding gift! I LOVE my wife. She knows how to please me. *ahem” Anyway…
The mile marker feature, granted, I’ll probably never use it. But, I have been wanting to go hiking this summer, so we’ll see. The dual time zone setting on this watch is a breeze. You set the 24-hour hand to your “home time” then pull the crown out one click and set the 12 hour hand backwards or forwards to the local time. It was a snap to set! Naturally, the perpetual calendar is a cool feature as well. The only, ONLY thing that would make this watch even better is if it was a kinetic or solar, something to eliminate the battery change that is inevitable with this watch.
