I got it for Christmas after my last watch went bad (gunked up and shock from when I didn't take it off before hitting things probably harder than I should have.) It assumes I know the day and year and does not have the temerity to remind me. They go by fast enough without cheerleading. I do have a bunch of cute (analog) dials to let me time things, but I've gotten in the habit of counting the squares on the oscilloscope when I'm interested in timing accuracy. It's a nice watch and I don't have to change the batteries, which means it won't get gunked up or less water resistant. If it lasts 20 years like my last watch did, I probably won't really care what the exact time is... "Religion, n.
