Ever since we switched over to Daylight Savings Time, I've been a confused mess, with a thousand contraptions (alarm clock, laptop, cable box, etc.) all flashing a different time. I could not for the life of me figure out which one had the correct time. I started relying on my Blackberry to keep me on track since I figured there was no way the time on my mobile device could be off but, apparently, I was dead wrong — I came to find out the tricky, unreliable, temperamental gadget was 15 minutes behind! The whole fiasco made me realize I need to start wearing a watch regularly (I haven't done so in almost a decade). But, of course, if I'm going to slap a watch on my wrist every day, it better be a true conversation piece.
So, with that in mind, here are seven pieces worth talkin' about.
