Fiddly gadgets
I once had a Casio G-Shock wristwatch. You know the type, the ones which you can chuck around and twat with hammers, not to mention swim down to a depth of two hundred metres and not even give a second thought. I loved this watch as it was very comfortable and looked good. Eventually, the battery went and I decided that as I had a set of jeweller's screwdrivers, I could take the back off and fit a new battery. I unscrewed the four screws on the case back of the watch and as I slowly removed the cover, all of the protective layers, covers and shock absorbing springs inside of the watch shot out of the casing like they were desperate to escape the housing which was holding them captive for the past few years.

Gutted and feeling like the five year old kid who'd just dropped his ice cream cone, I decided to stick to a wind up watch.
