Re: [time-nuts] Am I the only Time Nut who doesn't wear a watch?

[ed breya]

I also hate wearing any kind of jewelry - watchbands and rings seem 
to cut off circulation, even when sized right. A few years ago I 
accidentally wrecked the nice Seiko that my wife gave me. Since then 
I have used cheap no-brand watches attached to my 30 year old Speidel 
Twistoflex band - the only kind that I can stand to wear.  When I get 
a new watch, I just toss the band and hook it up to the old 
Twistoflex, and it's good for a couple of more years. I have found 
the best deal so far - $5 for battery powered analog ones at Big 
Lots. I bought a couple of spares for when my $20 one finally craps 
out. I have spent about a thousand dollars over the years collecting 
various GPS, Rb, and OCXO items for precision frequency references, 
but $5 seems about right for an everyday timepiece. It's OK with me 
as long as my watch isn't off by more than a few minutes, but I want 
my 10 MHz to be perfect.
