Windy Dune Time

When I found out Swatch watches were still around, I thought to myself, “huh, that’s cool.”  They were a big deal in the 80’s.  When I saw the slot on the back to twist off and replace the battery– THAT got me excited!  Getting a new battery in a wristwatch has always felt like an insurmountable task– like building an old clipper ship inside a bottle.  One of the big reasons I stopped buying watches was because the batteries never lasted long enough, and replacing them was a pain.  That all changed when I saw the back of a Swatch watch last week. All you need is a flat head screwdriver and a light touch.  I ordered the Windy Dune model.  It is scheduled to arrive today!
