I've worn a wristwatch since I was 7 years old. I feel naked without a watch on my wrist when I go out and about. I've had several watches. A few I stopped. Yup, I can stop time. I stopped time on two, brand new, less than a month old, moon phase watches. And the jeweler couldn't understand why because the battery was perfectly good when he tested tested them. Apparently, I have some sort of weird electromagnetic force, and I can stop time on my wristwatches. Himself won't buy me watches anymore because of it.
So I bought my own watches, and had to keep replacing batteries. Which was annoyingly expensive. Until several years ago, I heard about Citizens Watch and their Eco-Drive system. Sunlight, ambient light recharges the watch's battery. The battery never needs to be replaced. And I haven't stopped this watch.
So, Wednesday, before I left the house to go shopping, I put on my wristwatch. I don't look at my phone to check the time. I look at my watch. As I was finishing up at Target, I looked at my watch to see how long I had been out. No watch! I'd been all over Kohl's and Target. I walked across both parking lots because I always park in Nebraska (i.e. not close to the front door) whenever I go out, and I'm driving.
If I did lose it in the parking lot or the store, I should have felt it. Heard it as it's a pretty substantial watch. I must have thought I put it on before I left the house. Yes, that's it. It must've been at home. Only when I got home, the watch was not there. It was lost.
To be continued.

Hope you find it, Citizen is not cheap!...
So sorry, CJJ, hope it comes back to you!
Hope you find it :)
I can hear violin strings playing 'tension' music as I sit on tenterhooks waiting for 'the rest of the story....'
Oh no!
I hope the next post is an 'I found it' post. AND I have a bud (that would be you) who can stop time. How cool is that.
Oh no. I lost a bracelet I loved once, and then there was my fitbit story. When you finish your watch story I'll share my fitbit story. Hopefully I'll remember. I hope this story has a happy ending.
thecontemplativecat here. I rec'd my first Timex watch at age 9. When I retired from teaching, the watch was the first this I removed when I got home..
It wasn't the most expensive, but it did cost a pretty penny
thanks
thanks
