So, my new watch comes with a 33-page instruction manual. Every page critical in its use.

Holy crapoli.

It's the Timex Ironman USB Datalink. They call it a PDA for your wrist. The 33 pages are for the manual operations of entering data on the watch. The software for the USB-interface has its own manual.

Damn.

What the heck. I need something to do on Wild Card Sunday.

after which a photograph of some superduper wrist-watch

1. That's going to take more than a wild card Sunday!

I hope it's worth it to you.

3. Well, I have trouble keeping my complex calendar in my head ... and my PDA (which is also my Treo) is great, but if I miss the alarm for a meeting because the Treo is in its dock while I'm in the can or down the hall or whatever, then its a problem.

In other words, yes -- it's going to take a while to learn how to use, and I hope it's worth it.

5. I have a ten-plus year old Tag Heuer chronograph....

Love it because it is familiar, small, waterproof to 28 meters, and dependable. Yet, I rarely think to look at (or occasionally adjust) the little calendar window... For me, a watch is a watch (and jewlery, I suppose). Digital readouts are like white background noise to me...

Enjoy though... I DO like gadgets and gizmos-- just not on my wrist.

On edit, do report back how long it takes you to 'learn the ropes.' I still haven't learned all the ins and outs of my cell phone (pocket pc) or even my blackberry for work... I should take the time to learn how to really use at least one thing I own! LOL

6. LOL! Great post. 

I will get back...

So far, I've learned how to use the alarms.

2. Casio G Shock

You could have gone with a Casio G Shock. Solar powered, atomic clock time setting, a lazy mans dream.

Still a thick users manual though.

4. Those are beautiful watches, no doubt. 

But, I need at least 8 alarms that I can set each day.

7. I have a Ironman datalink

The one in the software picture. The software isn't too difficult to use, and it holds a ton of data. I love mine, I often say everything I know is in my watch. This is my second datalink, I have a older one, the kind you hold facing the computer and the data transfers in a bar code fashion.

Oh yeah, Where did you get yours?

8. If you ever find yourself at the bottom of a lake, you'll be glad first that the watch still works and then that you know how it works! =)

Oh...it's not a divers' watch? Nevermind.

The above's the whole campfire on Skins's island, but something bothers me.

If someone needs at least eight alarms a day, for whatever reason, might this not be a symptom of forgetfulness, which is a symptom of.....?

They all seem to be somehow involved in the nefarious pursuit of business.
How dare they serve the capitalist society. ::)

Frank, while you may be right about it being a symptom of ...?, I think it's actually more likely  a way for Buzzy to delude himself into thinking he's important and relevant to life outside his Mom's basement.  :noranger:

Do you really need an alarm to remind you to eat cheetos and hit the refresh button while logged on to DU?

Personally, I see the thread as his attempt to show how busy and important he is to all his DUmmie buddies.  And he can't just have a day planner like the normal people, he has to have a watch that doubles as a PDA, which will alert him of urgent matters 8 times a day!  :mental:

Well, it IS the DU we're talking about here...

Some of their membership needs an alarm that goes "Breath IN .........Breathe OUT" .
