Question Watch failure??

Mrs Wombat asks: Why does my watch always go wrong after crossing the pond and coming back again? - what's involved in flying that upsets electronic watches? (We understand the relativistic effects involved, but that's not what's happening; her watch stops for an hour or three per night after a hop across the pond, at which point she goes out and buys a new one, which goes wrong similarly on the next trip.)

Question

Wombat,

Are you sure it's not just an excuse for her to keep buying new watches?

So during those three hours there is no real time and things are not really happening and you really couldn't be blamed. Time for some serious abuse, I'd say.
