I lost my old Timex the other day. I guess the pin came out and it fell off and I didn't notice.
To make a long story short, Jane gave me my Fathers Day present early today, a
PAG240-1CR Pathfinder Triple Sensor Multi-Function Sport Watch

I spent the last hour reading a manual the size of War and Peace, and getting the Barometric pressure and Altimeter settings right as well as setting the magnetic declination correct. I may finish the settings for the rest by midnight.
I feel very old :(
Peternap if you would give it to your grandson he would have it all done in abot 5 mins. ;D
I hear ya' Peter. I love my Timex Indiglo so much I bought a spare, just in case it quits, breaks, gets lost... Now if I can only remember it is in the back of my sock drawer when the time arises.

I have a metal expansion bracelet; it lights up when the stem is pressed in but that's about it.
I don't even wear a watch anymore but would only buy the type MtnDon gets - all I wanted to know was the time & date, didn't have the patience to try & figure it out.
Glenn used to have a complicated watch w/altimeter & other stuff when he was flying a lot.
I have the identical watch. No bells or whistles. Large enough numbers to see w/o my specs and I can even tell time in the dark. The day and date function has never been set because I couldn't see it anyway without you guessed it my specs. But I do have a another for work cause sometimes I get a little dirty. ;D
Both are great watches. I still like analog watches, though for work a watch with a stop watch is very handy.
