My 25-year-old Seiko watch, which I think cost me $70 back then, died today. The stem came out, and the hands spin around if I shake the watch. I'm sure it'll cost more to fix it than it's worth. So I bought a retro Timex from Amazon for $32 with S&H.

I would happily replace it with a coo koo clock. How would I wear a coo coo clock on my wrist? Kids today don't wear wristwatches. They look at their cellphoes. I have a cellphone (and no landline) but it's easier to look at my watch. They don't even use cash today, just debit cards. I use both.
My son sells watches. The size of the popular watches are like wearing bricks on your arm. All made out of titanium and such.

I know some guy who got hit by a train when he was driving drunk. Half his skull is titanium, and when he knocks on it with his hand, it goes, "Clunk, clunk." Titanium is good stuff.
That Citizen's Men's watch for $99 is pretty nice, but I already bought the Timex, ha ha!
I was doing some drilling using a Titanium bit. It wouldn't do anything but smoke. Got a cobalt bit. Cut through it like hot butter.

I can't figure out how to set the clock in my van. I'm used to wristwatches anyway.
Look for two tiny buttons with 'H' and 'M' and mash accordingly - at least that's how it's done on our GM rigs.
THIS IS YOUR FAULT.
