[Elecraft] OT: Last post on time subject

[Don Wilhelm]

You folks with your fancy watches!
I have an inexpensive Timex Expedition that I have had for about 3 years 
now - the one before it lasted over 5 years.  The only time I have to 
set it is the changes between standard and daylight saving time.
It is quite accurate - I check it against WWV about once a month and it 
has never been off by more than 2 seconds.  I replace it when the 
battery dies or the plating on the edges of the back wears off.

My Seiko sits in the drawer and shows the correct time twice a day:-) .  
The battery needs to be replaced every 4 to 6 months - it looks nice, 
but I don't use it because of the battery life.

73,
Don W3FPR
