The problem with holiday watches.....

[P4u1]

So I'm leaving the house to head off on holiday and grab my trusty holiday watch..... as I go to change the time when we land I realise the battery has died :-(

I have to admit it's going to be a struggle to have no watch for 2 weeks..... I'll survive for now by ordering an extra beer!!

perfect excuse to:-

1. buy a new one at the airport
2. buy one at some swanky shop whilst on holiday as a "memory" of "such a nice time we had dear" ....

Oh well, you can always do an Easy-Rider.

p.s. But stop at the early stages of the film!

I always take a G shock with world time set to the country I am going to. 1 press of the button and I am on the right time, plus solar means it should never experience a battery issue......unless it rains all the time and my battery is knackered

^^^ Superb.

You should have an automatic..................Batteries are shyt!

That would do me in and is why my holiday watch is an auto. Still usually have my solar G as backup.

Buy a holiday backup watch. Solar or automatic.

I actually did number 2 a few year ago and bought a speedmaster.... it cost more than the holiday

Or just buy a solar or automatic in the first place as a holiday watch

Got a phone?

Find a local AD at your destination - and get something nice. I am sure the family won't mind?

Hopefully you went to Taipei on holiday.

SKX with a 12hr bezel will be my holiday watch in 2 weeks.

Day / Date / Dual time (bezel) / Waterproof / No batteries / No worries :)

Hmmmm I did have a couple of holiday watches but I always felt like i'm compromising myself by wearing one instead of choosing the one I really want to wear, holiday is supposed to be enjoyable and freedom.

Now I tend to choose a watch I want, just one and never take it off whilst on holiday and not get too concerned about " what if's ".

I wish but I may have a business trip to Taipei later in the year

I think this will be my new strategy !
