My wife's watch now runs counterclockwise

It wouldn't be too hard to read if you got used to it, alls you would have to do would be to mentally flip the hand, like you're folding the clockface in half vertically. So if the time is 4:30, you'd set it for 8:30. Or if it was 1:38 you'd set it for 11:22. Complicated at first, but you'd have it memorized after a while, and how l33t/pimp/cool/badass would that be if you could say your watch ran backwards but you could still tell the time offhand?

Edit: NVM, I just saw that it's your wife's watch... forget that, it's hopeless.
 
haha, that's funny...

I got my brother a reverse clock, it's completely mirrored so even the numbers are facing the wrong direction. It confuses the hell out of people, especially when drunk.

The battery may fit, but that doesn't mean it's the correct one.

I would like to think the people at walmart can match the serial number of the old battery to the serial number of the new one. But maybe that's too much to ask for.

I'm surprised how many people mention this being that I said in my first post I checked that already.

Match the number of the old battery to the new one. Oh, you don't have it? Good luck with it now...

I'd leave it that way...that's kind of cool. Does it still keep time accurately if you read it in reverse?

Ever watch M*A*S*H?

I've probably seen 20 or 30 episodes, but I'm a little young (25) to have watched them all. So I don't get it.

I'm 19. Age doesn't matter when they're on DVD. There's an episode where someone buys a watch that runs backwards and someone else (probably Hawkeye) tells them to wear it on the other wrist.

It's an Anne Klein women's watch. Very little, silver face, leather band. Are you going to offer me a Halo 2 watch in exchange like an earlier post?
