Ditto my Timex. Both front and back are
marked in metres only. Made in China.

WOMBATized wristwatches
I find that extremely
odd. Every single watch I've ever bought has the water resistence marked
off in meters. But then again I've never bought Armitron. I've owned Timex
Fossil and various five dollar Wal Mart watches and they've all had it marked
in meters.

The international (ISO)

2006-07-30 12:56. You get the most important information first, and
the
least important information last.
