I think many are just being polite, because they realize people (like me) have missed very similar threads.Originally Posted by strange_wings

The fact that you missed the thread and started another isn't an issue (people are posting, aren't they?), but I always wonder about the people who comment and have commented in a previous thread or three and act as if the topic has never been discussed before.I suppose you see similar patterns in posts you have to edit or delete - people repeating things they've previously been told not to post. Is it forgetfulness? persistence, or just the desire to be part of a group/group discussion? (completely O/T, sorry.)
You're right, there are plenty of older people who also rely on their cell phones for the time, but I'm under the impression that even more younger people do
i try not to... because, many times, those 'repeat' threads are started by newbies who don't realize that it is a repeat. easier just to respond again... altho i've been posting more links recently & shortening my posts accordingly.Originally Posted by strange_wings

Same here. I always hated big, conspicuous watches, but now find I can't read tiny faces, so I've had to replace my "dainty" watches.Originally Posted by 2dogmom
When I was teaching, had meetings to go to and planes and trains to catch, YES I wore a watch all the time.
Now that I have my own business and can structure my own day, I only wear a watch when travelling. Interestingly I can no longer wear some of my favorite watches.I need reading glasses and some of the faces are so hard to read, I needed up having to get new watches with big, easy to read faces.
Don't you encounter trouble when your cell phone battery is low, or there's no service? I have a prepaid cell phone for calls/text messages from German Telecomm, because it works wherever I travel, but I've found the time display unreliable when the battery is running low, or I'm in an area not covered by their or a partner's service. I also have a Vodafone PDA with an Internet/email flat rate for Germany, but at least once or twice a month the whole network collapses for minutes or even several hours.Originally Posted by sandra
So do I!!
My cell phone rarely runs out of battery. I keep it pretty charged, and even if it were low (and beeping) while I'm out, it still goes for a long time. I found the clock there to be very reliable, even when it is low on battery. The time display is still there when I've no service.
