I bought a new Calculator watch with PDA functions and I think it's the coolest thing ever. I bought it to replace my USB Watch with 32MB Flash Storage, which I lost. However, I recently found my USB Watch, and now I have a delimma. Should I even be more geeky and wear one on each arm? I don't think I can choose...both seem essential to my daily life! (even though my phone can function as a calculator and PDA, and I have a 128MB USB Flash Storage on my keychain)

I'm wearing one on each arm right now. On the lighter side, my wrists feel more "balanced" now. I never noticed it before, but having a watch on only one arm feels like it is "weighing" down that arm and constricting it. One on both arms feel more natural for some weird reason.

Obviously, I'm a huge geek. ;)
 
Wear one on each arm, and if anyone asks why tell them either....

1) you're a rich buisness man and need to travel from time zone to tme zone regularly.

2) tell them that sometimes a random limb goes numb so you need one on each hand to be sure.
 
How big are the watches????

Standard watch size. I don't know, they just feel a little restrictive, especially when I'm going to the bath room. I also take off my glasses when I am going to the bath room, as it makes me feel more relaxed. And that's probably more information then you needed to know :D

If you were a super hero you would be.

With a USB Storage device on both my keychain and my right wrist, a calculator/pda watch on my left wrist, a camera mobile phone w/ NES and Gameboy emulators on the left side of my waist, and a minature multi-function knife (aka a swiss army knife clone) also on my keychain, I am...Techno Matt! To borrow a title from Dilbert ;)

What does your girlfriend think of it?

I haven't had a girlfriend since high school. Not much luck since then, been on a few dates, but they didn't fit my profile. And sometimes I didn't fit their profile of course ;) I have semi-high standards, I want a girl who is at least average or a little below-average looking who is near to, beyond of, or equal to my intelligence. I put personality first, intelligence second, looks last. I'll probably be a bachelor forever ;) And, of course, gamers are a plus.


Wear both, on different days.

Nahh, I've decided I have to wear both at once because they are too essential to my daily life. And I have a back-up watch in case one fails during the day! Just like my 5 back-up pens.
