So a couple of years ago I bought a cute watch that had little digital stick people on the face that danced or made the numbers out of their wee little bodies to tell you what second it is in the minute. Then after wearing it for many a day the little people disappeared. So sad, i just figured the watch had a bug... but I really didn't think the seconds were such an important thing to cause me to send the watch back the manufacturer... so on life went.
About 2 weeks ago the battery on said watch died. yaaaaay (can you feel the sarcasm?).
Let me insert here, I cannot function without a waterproof watch (no kidding they last about a week max). And the last time I took a waterproof watch to a cheapo place to get the battery replaced they busted the seal ...therefore making it no longer waterproof...therefore sentencing said watch to a watery death and eternal fogginess. Because of these two factors I took afore mentioned "stick people" watch to a jeweler to have the battery replaced.
Turns out they were out of the kind of battery it needed. :P BUT, they did order them in... and since my much needed watch was already at said jeweler, I figured... what the heck? So I left it for them to take care of.
Today I went and picked up said watch. And guess what? The thing took 2 batteries. Kinda strange... Guess what the other battery was for? The STICK PEOPLE. Yay, my little friends are HOME!
I know.... isn't it sad that I'm so excited about that?! :D
I know it's a little skuffed up... but I'm getting a little attached to the darned thing!

What a fun watch! I would just stare at it all day! I'll bet your kids adore it. I used to wear watches religiously, but I can't stand to have them on my wrist anymore.
That's a dang cool watch! I used to have cool watches, too, but now I just buy a $5 watch at Wal-Mart when the battery dies in mine-I figure it costs more to replace the battery-and more of a hassle-than getting the new cheapo one.
Pete got me a watch for my birthday that was slightly more expensive, but it wouldn't keep the right time! I even had them replace the battery, to no avail. I'm back to the cheapos.
I use to wear watches but I got annoyed of them. I need to get back to it though because I'm one of those annoying people always asking what time it is.
Cute watch! I should wear them, but I always just check my cell phone for the time instead. Unfortunately you can't take your cell with you everywhere you go (church) and end up needing to know what time it is. Thank goodness for the bells in church!
