I'm thinning the herd on my G-Shocks again and I'm giving this one away. Actually it's a Casio Pro Trek but almost the same. It's been worn a few times, is solar so never needs battery changes, you can just store it on a window sill or in some kind of light, and Bob's your uncle. It's black with a dark green strap. No box, no papers, no directions (use the internet). Judges decision is final. Gotta be a US resident.

Of course there is a qualifying skill question. If a woman gives birth to twins, which one is unplanned?

That would be impossible to tell without knowing what the parents wanted in the first place.

As the satisfied winner last time, I'll bow out of this opportunity. Good luck to the contestants. To the winner; enjoy the fun watch.

She can't keep one in the oven, so I suppose she plans to have both.

Close enough. I don't know the answer, hoping someone else does. If you want the watch, PM me your address.

I know. If I sent it to you it would end up in customs for 6 months and you'd get a $600 bill for taxes, duties, and the fact that you're a Leafs fan.

The second one.

My, that watch looks complicated. What power reading glasses does one need to use it?

Good luck to the winner (hopefully not a presbyotic).

It's pretty easy to read actually. I just use it for commando raids and use only the time function. All the other stuff just fades into the background.

Neither one is unplanned.

Both are unplanned. Unless she planned to have twins (a near impossibility).

Each baby alone is a twin…

You wouldn't accept any compensation, and I appreciate that. This is what I'm going to do, on your behalf; I own veterinary hospitals, and tomorrow, the first canine appointment is going to be granted at no charge. I haven't seen the schedule yet, so it may be a vaccine, or it may be an orthopedic surgery...but either way, as a thanks to you, that appointment will be on me. Thanks again for an awesome watch!

Wow, I haven’t really followed this thread, but that’s a very cool way to Pay It Forward. Cheers to you both!

Very nice thing to do.

A win-win-win all the way around.

Ok maybe the last give away. I was in my green tactical period and this one is ready for a new owner.

Garmin Instinct Outdoor Smartwatch. Perfect for the ability of ne'er-do-wells to be able to track you anywhere on the globe.

Or for you to know if your heart is still beating. (Damn, looks like I flatlined)

Not sure on any of this because I never read the directions. Google it.

Comes with no box, no papers, and you may need to get a new strap if you have wrists bigger than my wimpy ones. I always cut the rubber straps back. Straps are cheap on Amazon.

Skill testing question:....What is the loudest animal on Earth?

PM me the answer. Good luck. Judges decision is final. Must be in the US.

You're welcome. Enjoy it, of course after you take the 2 week seminar on how to operate all the stuff it does.
