I have not bought anything for myself but I will buy a pair of Mary Janes tomorrow. I have been walking around the campus a lot, I want to be comfortable but not looking sloppy:

I'm prompted to order some watch straps today as mine broke yesterday.
I now have several watches with broken straps. Over the years I bought quite a few cheaper ones to go with various outfits but, although they keep the time well, the straps don't last.

I tend to always buy leather straps, but I have had some really rubbish ones that way too.

No money spent today! Yay! (I'm much better at finding things to buy than ways to avoid buying - like reusing, fixing, borrowing, etc. Borrowing books comes easy to me, so I need to transfer that "skill" to other areas of my life.)
I have a watch with a tatty strap, and I cannot work out how to remove tha metal clip to change the strap. That is infuriating.
In my first look online I see there are different straps but luckily mine are mostly easy, the only one being different is a Casio.
I do notice there are a range of prices from acceptable to 'super fashion accessory' at prices several times what I would normally pay for an ordinary watch.
One of my stepson's friends, who I talk to occasionally, is a clock repairer / restorer. He suggested that I go to a clock repair site. Comparing prices on those, I see that they are generally cheaper than places you would normally come across in a search. They often don't have a big range though.
Ive been on a spending spree... There was the new camera and bag, the new shower chair for my friend and yesterday I ordered new triple glazed windows and frames for the entire house...They include built in mosquito screens!
No. I spoke to an online jeweler and he told me it probably unscrewed. I got a pair of rubber noses plier and it still didn't come off so to him.
I have vague memories of something similar which had a tiny long bolt. It requires a jewellers screwdriver inserted from the side. If that's the case though you would see the screwdriver slot, with a magnifying glass if required.
Yesterday I ordered four new watch straps, and a special tool to release the strap pins, as it was cheap enough (£2). I wouldn't normally bother wth the tool as, although it's a bit of a fiddle, I can do the, but as I am changing four it seems a good idea if it makes changing easier and less danger of damage.

Wow. I haven't worn a watch for many years. Ive generally got a good sense of time and these days every car has a clock every phone so it just seems like clutter

That sounds like me. Although I do have a nice watch I very rarely wear it.

I ordered an extension for the power cord for our soundbar - pulling the power bar too far was unplugging the house phone, and it's more important to have that working. We can survive with just the TV speaker for a few days...

Four watches? Mrs Affluent.
Fashion accessories with me
They are only cheap ones which I got from the supermarket. I have them in different colours. I do have a couple of more expensive watches. They are better quality and the straps are still good. The also keep themselves charged, one being solar and the other, kinetic. I went for them as I found I seemed to be forever changing batteries
