Her heart has stopped...

It's official. Just called my wife from the road and asked her to check on my new sub. No heartbeat. I know I just have to wind her, but it's still disturbing. It might be the last time I can leave her.

Serves you right for leaving her with an unexperienced nurse.

You can do extensive CPR when you get home, maybe do the hand-wind/lip-touch maneuver if you are qualified in it. I read from the other members it usually works to pick up a weak beat. When she is on the mend, give 'er a good bath. Next time, ya gotta train the wife, or take 'er on the trip with ya! Luck!

It's just resting peacefully and trying to avoid excessive wear when you're away.

Trust me, I tried to get my wife to wear while I'm away, but her wrist is too small. Maybe I need to be more selective about where I'll go to work.

NO, don't listen to him.

He'll tell you to swirl it before winding.

Don't worry, your battery is flat... Just change it, and it will restart for 3-4 years more
