Alarm Watches

It is my trusty little sleeping partner. And it never fails to wake me up in the morning. Sometimes it sure is irritating, with its incessant whining and continuous noise, but I would much rather have it do that than to keep silent. Cause if it did, it would be useless to me. In case you haven’t guessed what I am talking about, it is my trusty little alarm watch!

Yes it is true. I sleep with my alarm watch so that I can be ready to spring out of bed in the mornings. I still remember the time when I was a kid and we had this huge, blaring, metallic alarm clock that used to give me a heart attack each time it woke me up. Sure it was effective, but each time I was jolted out of bed to switch it off, I was scared that I would have a heart attack.

Things however got better after I got my first alarm watch. It was a nifty little gadget as far as I was concerned. At that time, alarm watches made in Japan were all the rage and I got my hands on a Casio alarm watch. While it took me a good couple of days poring over the manual to determine how to set the alarm as well as the hundreds of other features, once I had mastered the art, it was a constant source of happiness.

For one thing, I no longer needed to depend on the clanging monstrosity to wake me up each morning. My smaller, more melodic alarm watch was just as effective. Admittedly it was initially the novelty factor of the alarm clock that woke me up with startling regularity, but soon, I got rather used to the efficient beeping of my alarm watch.

Things got to such a point that my wife began suspecting that it was all not just due to the alarm watch. I mean I had tried other alarm watches before, but the episodes of my youth with the clanging monstrosity had left me so scarred that I was loathe to even hear other alarm watches. But my nifty little alarm watch changed all that – for the better. I no longer got scared each time I woke up, although I sometimes still woke up with a little start! And best of all, I was always on time for any appointment. I always used my trusty alarm watch for all appointments all through the day!
