This thread reminds me of a great Mike Royko column several years ago
comparing a multi-thousand dollar Rolex with a cheap throwaway watch.  The
point of the column was that the cheap throwaway did more than the Rolex and
when the battery ran out, you threw it sway and bought a new watch that had
more features than the old one.

        I have one that my wife bought for $6.37 at Walmart.  When it quits,
I will have to fork
out another seven bucks. The brand does not matter as it changes from time
to
time, but the watches take a licking and keep ticking. No condensate either.
