It has been about a couple of months that I ditched my watch. I wear my Garmin when I go for a run or other exercises. But that is all.

There is a downside to it. Now I do not know how many steps I have taken or the quality of my sleep.

But it has been a great sense of freedom. I somehow do not keep looking at my watch when I have nothing better to do. And I get a sense of not being tied to something.

Funnily enough, I never would have guessed that I would be traveling to Fiji and Samoa and never wear a watch on me!

This idea was given to me first by colleague at office – Claudine. She never wears a watch and said she never missed it.

All this was very confusing to Sharmila since I am the one who is a stickler for time. (that has not changed, btw)

But nothing confused her more than when I said that I am going to pick up a wrist bracelet made of bike chains for myself from the vintage motorcycle show in Dania Beach! Admittedly, this is totally out of character for me. I do not wear anything other than the wedding ring on me!

Maybe she was wondering why would I want one more thing to “chain” me down? 🙂
