It's very ingeniously designed. It looks rather like a key-fob, because it has a leather case that goes over the watch itself and closes with a snap in the front. When you open it to look at the watch, what would be the "top" of the display is pointed towards the floor, so you can read it easily.

I see "X:58" and think, "Lots of time," but I see that tiny little slice edging on towards the hour mark, and I get my butt in gear.<BR/><BR/>I also don't wear a wristwatch because there's something weird about my biochemistry, and my own sweat, trapped under a watchband, will eat away my skin until I have a big red-and-white hole in my wrist, if I'm not careful.<BR/><BR/>I'm still not going to buy a cellphone.Interrobanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073177798747299275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-23006041554053888682008-01-01T17:30:00.000-08:002008-01-01T17:30:00.000-08:00But what I really want to know is, What is the sce...But what I really want to know is, What is the scent of your shaving gel?
