Internal thoughts (Real World Problem)

Just sitting here, ....at my desk,... staring at my DaytonaC White dial.....not really noticing the time, just making sure the minute hand lands directly over the ten minute marker when the second hand reaches 60. What time is it you ask?.... I have no idea.

Sounds like me. Sometimes I look at my watch and don't actually remember what time it was when I go back to what I was doing...

Haha! I have definitely found a like-minded community here. I even remember doing this with Swatch watches back in the 80's!

Lol. Although I've been a long time lurker on the forums I've just started to contribute/post. Seems like all of us are afflicted by the watch bug!

Telling time is a watch complication I barely use.

I get embarrassed when my wife sees me look at my watch and then asks me the time because I have to look again.

At least it's not just me.
