watch out

[kodalai]

...my watch is Doing It again. It will keep perfect time for months and months, and then suddenly -- like now -- start losing time like mad. Then in a few days it will keep perfect time again.

It's been losing half an hour per day for three days now. Oi...

Try changing the battery. That's what mine does when the battery is getting low. Or you can do what I did last time - just go to Wal-Mart and buy a whole new watch for $6.43.

I've done both, over the years. If I take it to a jewelers', he gives it back and says it's working perfectly fine and the battery isn't low at all. (Three different jewelers.) Have gone and bought a whole new watch, even a better than WalMart one. After a few months it started doing the same thing.

I think I'm just one of those people who can't wear quartz watches... or not all of the time, or something.

I've given up wearing a watch at all (because it hurts my wrist, not because some freaky body rhythm causes it to use time, but whatever) and rely on my cell phone exclusively for the time. Well, that and the kindness of strangers.

i bet it's getting funky vibes from you :D perhaps you're doing something and your, i don't know, aura or something, gives out some kind of energy that messes with your watch and causes it to forget how to tell time. vibes. it's all aboot the vibes...

My theory is that I'm carrying around little temporal eddies.
