Whoops

Kind of a funny story...so it's finally nice where I am yesterday (Connecticut) and I go outside at lunch just to see if my new Instinct 3 Solar actually absorbs some sun and maybe adds some battery life. I know I'm at 21 days, so I'm hoping maybe an hour or so in the sun gets me another couple days or so? So I'm not really paying any attention to the watch for a while, and then I glance down to see if the power level has moved at all...and it's at ONE HOUR? It went from 21 days to ONE HOUR??? WTF??? Is it damaged or something? A bug? Am I going to have to return this thing, what a pain...

And then I remember I was using the torch about an hour earlier. And I had evidently forgotten to turn it off, because there it was, still blazing away...and killing my battery. Duh.

Remember to turn that thing off. That's the story.
