Aging and My Watch
I turned fifty-two a couple weeks ago and overall aging doesn't bother me. The only real downside that I've found is my eyesight. Around forty-five I suddenly couldn't see close-up. I went to the eye doctor and needed bifocals. I was surprised that it happened to me.
Fast forward a few years and I bought a watch. I love watches (time pieces) and have a dozen or so.
My latest dress watch is a Fossil Chronograph. It is very big and I have a large wrist so it fits just right. Problem is it is a chronograph and I had no idea how to use it.
Since I have been on vacation for a few weeks I decided to pull out the booklet that came with it and get all of the features down. I pulled out the booklet and it made me laugh out loud.
The book was thick and small. When I opened it up the type was so small that even with my bifocals on I couldn't read it. I went online hoping for an online guide but to no avail.
Luckily my younger brother Devlyn is a whiz with anything mechanical. I took the watch over to his house and he figured it out in minutes.
It will be interesting to watch what other adjustments I have to make as I pass through middle age.
