It's got all the features yours has, but it's the first watch I can actually use. Straight forward, and when you're trying to set the time or a timer, it actually gives you a "plus" and "minus" sign on the display by the buttons that you use to go up or down. I love it.Maria Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10654203953091709733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18645047.post-88204014314192821142007-03-05T12:34:00.000-06:002007-03-05T12:34:00.000-06:00Aieeee. I think I lost my first comment, which we...Aieeee. I think I lost my first comment, which went sort of like this.<BR/><BR/>I understand. Doors with a great handle you can grab and pull on, on a door that only pushes. Analgesic cream in a tube that looks just like toothpaste. Shampoo and creme rinse that can't be told apart in the shower. Black on black controls on black boxes that sit inches above the floor under my TV. The replay button and power button millimeters apart on my remote control. I want replay and the damn TV shuts off. I have a $19 watch with two alarms, two time zones, a stop watch with lap times, a count down timer, and a light. I can do word processing, spreadsheets, design a blog, put together a simple web page, start a wood fire in the fire place, and repair a dishwasher, but I can't work that damn watch. Next time I'll pay $20.<BR/><BR/>What's really sad is that it ain't that hard to make it friendly. How hard can it be to move the replay button away from the power button. To install a plate instead of a big inviting handle on a door that only pushes.<BR/><BR/>Putting aesthetics before function, and user friendliness is just ignorant. It's an insult to the whole notion of aesthetics.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546840413431176072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18645047.post-55845750566487305572007-03-05T12:07:00.000-06:002007-03-05T12:07:00.000-06:00And got so excited in other comment I forgot.
