Fictional threats. Imagined disasters and general under the bed bogeymen.
All the real threats like them.

their lives too.

Well that was easy! My last 2 watches cost under $7
from walmart. The 1st one lasted 5 years on the original
battery till I broke the crystal (it was still running).
The second is still running strong on the original
battery (pushing 4 years now).

But then I'm into functionality, not jewelry.
