That was £30 IIRC, for Seiko genuine titanium part via a local jeweller. I could probably have saved a bit, or quite a bit, via ebay or whatever but frankly, couldn't be bothered.
I did say Smart Watches - I don't boycott watches in general; I just don't need one.

I have a clock in the car, and in the kitchen, lounge, bedroom - pretty everywhere except the bathroom because, if you're in the bathroom, everything else can wait. :p
