I started wearing wristwatches when I was a kid...maybe 3rd grade. Not everyone can wear one comfortably. It just makes sense (to me) to start with a cheapo for a while...then, if he wants, step up to a better watch.

They had watches back then?! :eek:

gone last forever, i don't want to see another watch ad in my browser anymore


Because of you, everyone in this thread will see watch ads. Of course I block ads so I don't see them.

I did set it to mon, but it changed to lun, srs
If it is doing that then it is broken.
The seikos have dual language day/date, so if you set it to english, it will stay english (mon-tue-wed-etc) but spanish stays spanish. It only rotates forward once a day at midnight (or shortly after midnight).

Just a thought...since the OP says he's never had a watch...why not start out with a cheap Timex or Casio?
No lie. Getting hung up on a fancy pants status symbol wrapped around your wrist strikes me as asinine.

it could be an AM PM thing maybe. English for am, spanish for pm

OR maybe I'm just high. I changed it to TUE. We'll see if it goes to WED later

Does anyone else wear their watch like this when sitting down?

Ideas on how to make a tiny hole for the leather strap? The setting would be perfect in between the two holes that are already there.
