Armitron Sport Men's 20/4942BLK Sport Watch



My name is Bill and I have a problem!  I have become hooked on watches.  While the younger generation is looking at their smart phones (I have one) for the time, I still glance at my wrist.  The plus side of this watch is that it has a traditional watch band, not weird clasps that mimic traditional bands, no expansion band just a "traditional" plastic band.   I chose this watch out of those offered due to that fact and that it has a light.  Rather than dig my phone out in a rock concert (classic rock like the WHO)  I like just pushing a button and having my dial light up.   That's the good news.  

Here is the bad, I have 20/20 vision with my bifocals.  The instructions for the watch may have well been printed on the head of a pin.  The font appears to be smaller than 4pts.   I am not at home and don't carry a magnifying glass with me while I travel.   It would have helped with the instructions.   It is possible due to the nearly impossible to read instructions that I am not able to set the date.  I did set the digital time but frankly am not sure how that happen.  The analog time is plain old, plain old, you pull the stem and turn the hands.  I will wear the watch  due to the analog time and the light.   All the other features including date, digital time, 2nd travel zone, stop watch etc may work just fine if I could read the blanketity blank instructions. Considering the fact that senior citizens appear to be the only age category that consistently wears a watch, I would suggest instructions in a legible font size would be a major selling factor.

Remington RM2510 Rustler 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Curved Shaft Gas Trimmer with QuickStart Technology

I haven't had a gas powered weed wacker for several years.   I still find the mixing of gas and oil a pain in the butt.   Since all my gas cans are in use and I didn't want to empty one to test this, I bought a new one gallon can.   The Remington includes a starter can of oil, 3.2oz which you mix with one gallon of gas.   I'm a direction reader so after reading them several times I began.  I installed the shield and repositioned the handle.   Pretty simple and wing nuts are not just goofy people, these wing nuts worked just fine.   It has a primer bulb which you depress ten times and then adjust the choke and pull away.   It is a very light pull and it started after the third sequence  of five pulls.   You leave it warm up and then you are ready to go.   The bump head that is supposed to release the cutting line works but not smoothly.  I was unable to get it to release line on the grass.  I had to "bump" it on the driveway to get it to release.   I
