    Grrr, I lost my favorite watch :(

    Over the weekend I lost my favorite watch. It was bought for me as a Christmas present a few years ago by my parents, a Timex Iron Man, it's got an inverted LCD screen and looks really good. I know I was wearing it when I got home from a night out on Saturday.

    I took it off, and when I woke up on Saturday morning I remeber scrabbling for it to see what time it was. I remember looking at it, putting down and going back to sleep. I also remeber hearing it drop on the floor.

    When I woke up again could I find it ? Could I heck !! I thought it had gone under my bed, so I literally had my room all pulled out earlier today looking for it, it's nowhere to be seen

    I wouldn't be so upset about it : -

    1) I had bought it myself and lost it
    2) I'd killed it

    But because it was bought for me and to be honest with you was my favorite of the two watches that I have I'm pretty upset that I can't find it IU've even looked in my car and removed all the carpets, junk etc and it's not there

    So today I popped into Argos to buy a new one, foubnd a Sekonda I really like, bought it, and when I get it home that doesn't fit. We've adjusted the clasp, but it's still miles too big for my small wrist

    Then to add insult to injurry my Dad gave me a very nice Accurist watch, but after I set the right time the battery went flat !!

    Taking the Sekonda back to Argos tomorrow in the hope they can adjust it by taking some links out of it, failing that I'll have to ask for a refund.

    I've got a Timex Iron man as well!
    Is a pretty good watch as well.
    You sure you've checked everywhere like even under a pillow.

    Bad luck about losing it and i have the same problem with the watches being to big as i have small wrists.

    Re: Grrr, I lost my favorite watch :(

    I find it much easier just to sleep with the watch on


    Gutted for you, I'd be rather irritated if I lost my current watch - it is rather hard to find a decent titanium watch short of a breitling, and my budget didn't stretch that far last time.
