At which time, the sales lady took one look at my watch and said "mmm see, now that's a problem... You have a Fossil watch and we are not even allowed to open them to see what kind of battery you would need." Seriously. So I made her hand me their little screwdriver tool and I pried the back off, took out the old battery, put in the new and popped the back back on. No problems. I still don't have Indiglo :( But I can now tell you that today is the 15th! Belated Happy Quarter-of-a-Century Birthday!

I know how painful that can be. I used to rely on my watch for everything. Now I just sit and watch the digital clock in the cabinet change numbers while I listen to a robotic voice say "Your call is important to us, thank you for holding, a customer service representative will be with you shortly" and then some vague translation of The Girl From Ipanema comes back on...
