These are all my watches.
From Left to right
1. The left watch is my newest addition. It's a quartz watch I bought for a dollar from Marion Joyce. She found it in her late husband's stuff, not running and sans band. I wear it to the North Museum so I can tell the kids there is a quartz crystal inside vibrating to keep time.
2. The white and black Ironman was my second Ironman. When I saw it, I really wanted it, but the $30 was a real stretch at the time, and it seemed like an extravagance because I still had my original Ironman (next). It's probably 15-20 years old.
3. The black watch is my original Ironman. It's been through several batteries and many bands. The front buttons are a little sticky. Could it be 20 or 30 years old? It was my first real watch. Annisa wore it for a few weeks last year when she broke or lost her own black rubber watch.
4. The watch on the right has a face that lights up when you push the button. Unfortunately, the date always goes to the 31st, so in months with 30 days I need to advance the date. But sometimes I get the AM and PM wrong, and it rolls over to a new day at noon. It's such a frustrating problem, I seldom wear the watch. It's 10-15 years old, I would guess.
Thanks for reading. You are free to resume your normal productive activities.

This post reminded me of Andy Rooney -- he could have written it. It's so cool that you still have all those watches. --jane
