Friday, November 22, 2002 :::
Last night I found instructions for my watch, which recommended, as did my brother in private email, depressing the start/stop button and holding for a couple seconds. As it happens, I had tried that before I received my brother's email; what the instructions also clarified was that the watch would give me no signal whatsoever that the operation had succeeded. In setting the hourly chime, it emits three rapid beeps; I had expected toggling it off to do the same, so after turning it off I had imagined that I was holding the button at the wrong angle or something, it hadn't been depressed even though it felt depressed, I adjusted my position, got the three beeps, thought this meant it was off -- and was greeted at the top of the next hour. Last night I cleared it successfully, though, of course, I didn't know this until fifty minutes after I performed the operation.
