The Watch Saga Continues

Alright, so anyone that knows me also knows that I can turn any simple scenario into the most complicated puzzle. My replacement watch arrived by mail exactly on time for my Thursday run last week. I was psyched to open up this watch and hit the road. When I opened the box and saw the size of the watch, however, I started to worry. Is Nike making their women's watches to Amazons? This watch hung off my wrist on either side by a good quarter inch. The only positive I could come up with was that due to the size of the watch, I could read the numbers without my contact lenses in my eyes. This necessitated returning the watch, which proved to be more complicated that it should have been, and continuing on the search for the "right" watch. I looked high and low in town (except at the running store downtown, which I avoid like the plague), but I could not find anything small enough with very few buttons. Too many buttons confuse the heck out of me while running, and they're hard to push with winter gloves on (a necessity for running in PA during winter). Finally, in desperation, I went to Target and bought the exact same watch that I had just broken. Needless to say, I really like this watch, since I didn't have to relearn how to use it. Through all this, I have definitely realized that Timex gets it right with their women's watches. I got the Timex marathon for $30. It beat the heck out of these $100 watches that came with user manuals an inch thick! I am back in business with timing my runs.
