Nice watches. Do you know these will soon be classics... today's generation of kids will grow up not knowing what a watch is or how to read it. Everything is in digital/numbers (cells, iphones, etc..) It's a shame.

I believe the term for those clocks is analog.
I bet those kids who can't read an analog watch or clock don't know who the real Barney is :D

I'm surprised anybody would buy a watch, I mean isn't there an app for that in your iPhone?

A burn LOL
I have to admit, I havn't worn a watch in a long time because of mobile devices. I stopped wearing them at first because I hated the tan line, but then realised it was just a fashion item...which I don't folow fashion, so decided to leave em in a fancy box with the rest of my bling bling haha.

Time check....If you do have one, 1-800-363-5409 will give you the correct time. At my work we have to have one and it can't be more then 30sec off, we just hired some new guys between 19 and 40 or so, I don't think the younger guys understand the full concept of a watch, especially that we use the 24hr clock.

Sorry for hi-jacking this thread but I was in McDonald's the other night. The cashier, a young girl about 16, made a minor mistake ringing up my order. I instantly recognized the problem and gave her the exact amount I owed her but she seemed quite confused. It must have taken her three minutes to wrap her head around the problem. I can't help to think she relies too much on the cash register to tell her how to handle the money.
I bet she can't read an analog clock either.
