I haven't worn a watch in over a year.

It's no big deal, really. My cell phone has a clock on it, so when my watch started wearing out last year, I simply chose not to replace it. But it did occur to me this morning that a watch is another good example of a product you can safeguard with Yarraa.

There's a lot of variety when it comes to watches - everything from prestigious high-end brands that cost as much as a car, down to the plastic digital types that are given out for free when you buy a pizza on the right night of the week. (Yes, I do have one of those somewhere.) But a decent watch, while not as expensive as a car, will cost you. And as such, it's an investment worth taking care of. It's also the type of mark of prestige whose manufacturers care about their reputation in any market, so most of them probably have excellent warranty programs - if you remember to register, and if you can find the paperwork when you need it!

And with Yarraa, that's easy! A watch isn't quite like a computer or a cell phone or a refrigerator, but it's just as easy to take care of with Yarraa. Why not register yours today? And do keep an eye out for your favorite retailers to start using Yarraa for warranty registration in the not too distant future.

Now, why didn't I - Mr Yarraa! - register my watch with Yarraa? The short answer is that I'd been meaning to replace that particular watch for a couple of years anyway. It didn't keep time very well even when it was new. But it was a gift from a now-departed family member, so I didn't have the heart to replace it.

Well, that and the fact that Yarraa was still in development back then. If the watch had kept running for one more year, I could have found a service centre to get it fixed and I could have purchased an insurance policy for it. Oh well!
