I’m like you adjusting the volume is easier than turning it off and on.
Merry Christmas
I had a hi tech watch I liked, but it had an hourly beep that could not be disabled, and an alarm that defied all efforts to disarm.
Cruelly, its piezo transducer was at exactly the pitch where there is a 6 dB notch in my hearing. (Firearms).
So, it would disrupt meetings, and annoy everyone and cause embarassment. When my wife and I went on vacation, I had to wrap it in a sock and lock it in the safe, or it would wake her up every hour.
One day we were out for a walk, and she told me, "Your watch is beeping". There was a heavy line of traffic coming quickly down the road. A perfect time for the watch to be flung under the wheels- Very satisfying.
I bought a Russian-Made CRUDE thing with GEARS and SPRINGS (Paketa) that served me well for years. Ugly as a used tractor, but quiet and accurate. Twenty bucks.
