Haha, yeah I thought I'd better add that in in case someone thought it was totally useless for time telling. :)
I held off for over a year and I think that's long enough to make an informed decision. I work hard, have done so my whole life, so think I have the right to buy a thing or two after deliberating for 15 months over it. I'm really happy with this watch and if it ever fails as a watch I can use it to hammer nails or something like that - It's tough.
