I wrote sometime ago that other than telling time and date, the only thing a watch was good for was keeping my wrist from getting sunburnt. Well... Im 38 now and my skin started wrinkling so in order to keep my skin from futher wrinkling, I have decided to protect as much of my skin as possible starting with my wrist so I went and got a 12 guage with metal (stainless steel or titanium?) band.
