Love when my watch stops ticking!!.....like this

Am I the only one who gets excited when I pick up my watch to find that it last stopped ticking with the second hand exactly (really exactly even considering 4hz) on the minute??

No, because then when I go to set it I have to wait a full minute for it to come back around to hack it at 0:00 again.

Maybe next time, you'll notice all three hands stopped at 12. You should buy a lotto ticket when that happens.

That reminds of the time when mine stopped at 1010. I felt like it was close to a Rolex clone model.

Just noticd my Exp II stopped at midnight + 6 secs last night (I should say this morning). I'm never awake at midnight these days, so good to see the date had changed promptly.

Even better is when it stops right as you are you going to put it on.
