For a sentimental reason.

I wear two watches. One on my right wrist. The other on the left. Usually, but not always, the watches are set for the same time. The watch on my left wrist is a gift. From my girlfriend. It's an old-fashioned watch. Self-winding. But it's not always reliable. Self-winding means that I have to shake it. Maybe once or twice a day. To make certain that it 'winds.' Sometimes, I forget. And the watch stops. On my right wrist, I have a battery-operated watch. It runs for years. Non-stop. Never needs winding, of course. And it's accurate. But my favorite watch is on the left. For a sentimental reason. --Jim Broede
