I don't got a watch ... but I got a good story about 'em.
My mate in Year 6 at primary school Eric used to have a new digital watch about every month or so. It took a while, but after a 3 or 4, it became he's thing ... he was Eric the watch guy. It seemed the new one had some new additional feature that the previous didn't. No one could figure it out. So he went from one with a stopwatch ... to one with 10 different alarm tones .... to one with a built in calculator ... to one that stored 50 phone numbers/address details.
We'd ask : "Hey Eric, how come you got a new watch ?"
He'd say : "The last one stopped working properly ..."
Now let me sidetrack for a quick second : Do you remember the old electric-shock trick in school ? The one where you rub your feet on the carpet, then raise your feet off the ground and make a spark on the desk/person-next-to-you ???
Well ... it turns out Eric was a prick for that.
He'd not only have double (maybe triple or more) the strength shock, but he would cause visible sparks on the desk legs !!!
Turns out Eric had an excess of natural voltage in him or some sh*t ... and he kept burning out his watches because of it.
