   Wow. Complaining over being a few seconds off?? I guess I must have had a   
    tough youth then. My windup watch was a minute off a day. The horror!! But   
    the good part was I got my exercise when I had to wind it. And gosh I often   
    had to (gasp) reset it. How did I ever survive?? You kids today just don't   
    know how good you have it...  ;)
