Watch batteries .....well that was rather amusing...

I purchased a new every day watch from China, nice looking thing in stainless with a stainless band, date, time luminescent markers on the hands and dial... I did not even have it a year and it stopped working... this aggravated me..

I ordered a smart watch thinking a rechargeable watch linked to my phone made sense - particularly when I am on the boat sailing and I can leave my phone safely below deck and not risk it..

Anyways I ordered watch batteries from China... it was $1 more to get forty of them rather than a standard pack of ten..

My Wife buys cheap dollar store watches.. and when one stops running she buys another one.. There were five dead watches sitting in a box on the coffee table.. I grabbed all five of them and popped open the backs.. all of them use the same type of battery.. Ok I fix two I take them to her and she is not amused - then I do number 3.. it does not get better - ok I do #4 and she says "can you please stop it"... I did not have the balls to hand her #5 so I put it on her night table... I think if I handed it to her I would be sleeping on the couch... I really prefer to sleep with her so I will do my best to behave myself..

Meanwhile my every day watch is back and running again.. I set the date and the time...now I have three every day watches.. and a nice gold Swiss wristwatch which I keep locked in the safe... Most guys are like I have a pair of boat shoes, a black pair of dress shoes, a brown pair of dress shoes and perhaps a pair of running shoes.. we don't typically need a lot of stuff..

My Wife was getting mighty aggravated with me handing her the old watches working again... but honestly it was really funny... I have 34 batteries left...My Mother tells me she has four dead watches as well... this is hilarious..

Yes its the stupid little things that amuse me..

What I also find funny is that all these watches all use the same battery...
