Which Watch are you wearing today?

Been posting mostly in the pocket dump thread - but have not worn this watch in a while and due to it being a kinetic I figured it was time to charge it

From my experience with Kinetics you want to wear them fairly regular to keep some charge in them @thor447 fixed mine up with a new factory "battery" and I theorize that I let it run all the way down too many times and it basically died. It isn't that old either. It'll still fire up and run, but no matter how much you shake it to charge it, it'll only run a few minutes.

Just like a car battery, any rechargeable outside old nicad is bad juju to run down to deep discharge, they get to where they only take a shallow surface charge....likewise keeping fully topped off most of time, they need to cycle up and down...even cell phones warn of this.

Thats the problem with mine -- i like to wear it with my "dress up clothes" as it pares well with a blazer and slacks(even if its a sports watch technically, not a dress watch) -- but other than that , - not my favorite so it doesnt get much wrist time
