First was a Times. I had to learn to tell the time before I got it. IIRC I was about 7.
That even outlasted the 2nd watch, one of those new fangled LED didgitals. The timex was waterproof whereas the didgital wasn't, which I found to my cost a few months later.
The didgital was such a distraction that I got bannded from wearing it at school as all the children in my cllass (including me) wouldn't pay attention!
The didgital watch was a disaster tbh. New technology and all that, and I had to pay half the cost. I vowed then never to be first in the queue for new tchnology and wait until all the bugs had been sorted before going out and buying, if I actually wanted the product.
Probably a very well learned lesson.
