And, I just turned 22 on the thirteenth. I'm used to it because I can't look at my cell phone all the time since I can't have the thing on me all the time. I do feel for you about your old watch. I usually just by a new watch rather than buying a new battery. I were one so much so that I have a tan line. And, I just turned 22 on the thirteenth.

It can really pull your look together (even if you wear the same watch no matter the outfit). I could never get used to checking the time on my phone... too much work! Plus, my analog watch has an analog stopwatch/timer which is both cool and sometimes very useful. Again, something my phone could do... but not as simply and elegantly and as easy to access.

Edit: Ah hell. My French is rusty and I don't have Euros. Paypal currency conversion?

If you've got something on your wrist you're going to be mindful of it.  And in fact, if you're not a usual watch wearer, a post it strapped to your wrist will be difficult to ignore.

I have difficulty remembering anything I'm supposed to do or pick up at the store. This would spare my hands and arms from being scribbled all over, as I normally do, then I won't have to look like a walking sketch book of a blind, alcoholic tattoo artist. This is a fantastic idea!

How many people still wear wrist watches?  My husband and I use our cell phones for time and have pretty much abandoned our wristwatches entirely.   (I also use my cell phone for small reminders).    I miss my wristwatch but (apparently) not enough to replace the dead battery and it remains, just a piece of unused jewelery.  These look cute and handy, with a lot of fun uses for them especially for kids and I like the idea but…
