Atomic Time On My Wrist

Hey, boys and girls. Guess who has a new watch????The picture in this post doesn't look exactly like my new watch, but it's close enough. Some cool features of this new watch:

  1. It shows the current date and time simultaneously. So you don't need to press a button in order to find out what day of the month today is. Having to press a button just to see what day of the month it is, was the most frustrating aspect of my life. And now that frustration is gone! Yeah! :)

  2. It automatically sets itself to the atomic clock radio signal coming out of Colorado. So it's time is always correct! And, this also means that the watch is nuclear-powered! I think.

  3. It also includes a world time feature where you can have it show the current time in some other part of the world. I have my watch set to show the time in London, which is the same as UTC. Being able to quickly know the current time UTC is really, really useful. Seriously.

And, of course, it's water resistant to a depth of 50 meters. Which will be helpful for all the times I go driving out on Lake Michigan.  Yes, you read that correctly.
