Like a few of the other ISS members I have not worn a watch for around 40 years. Neither do I have any other ready means of checking the time these days, unless I am home or in the car.

This is becoming a nuisance now that I use public transport a lot and the thing I notice these days that was not a problem 40 years ago is how few places now have visible clocks.

I think I will need to buy a watch but it will certainly be the cheapest that I can find. I would love one of those expensive ones that have been mentioned because then I may be able to sell it and buy some good astro equipment.

PS I remeber the old Bob Dyer "Pick a Box" show on radio. The top prize was a gold diamond studded watch valued at around 350 pounds (In 1950 this was about half the price of a new Holden.) B.G
