I try to be nice and to do the right thing.
The thing I love the most is they are quite unique in the sense they can be passed through the generations and become more than an object.
The watch my grandfather gave to me before he passed away is, and will always be one of my most prized material possessions, which I also hope to pass down to my children one day too.
It's why a fitbit, apple watch or the like will never do for me.
Unlikely to see the inside of a cell unless he does anything else!
Just give me the actual news, not your opinion of it.
In the weeks between getting the warranty repair, I began wearing the watch my grandad gave me before he passed away.
I found two things. 1. I didn't miss anything about the fitbit - the main thing I used it for was time, and the second most used feature - the step counter - wasn't used for much more than something of general interest. I didn't find that killer reason I needed the watch in my life, even though I live an active lifestyle.
2. I preferred wearing the old fashioned watch with sentimental value attached. A watch is so unique as it can be passed through generations and is worn daily by one person over a long period of time. Given the premium real estate of my wrist meaning there is only one place for a device, I'd much rather have something there which is something very special and dear to me, than a gimmick.
But the great thing about football is that interesting as this is, I won't be placing any bets off the back of it. Too many variables in human nature, playing conditions, external factors, and maybe even luck. It's what keeps the game interesting and millions watching.
It would be interesting as a question to wonder what parts of human behaviour can be predicted accurately in this way though!
