I cannot and dare not say I like problem as I do not want to attract problems like what is taught in the LOA. However, I always gained and learned some problem faced and solved eventually.
I went to change my Polar watch battery despite the fact that I changed it few months ago. I thought I was conned by bad a merchant last time. However, after I changed the battery last night, I do not see anything appear in the digital screen of the watch this morning. Look like the watch is out of order and needs to be fixed.
This is a good and bad problems. Bad one is I need to repair it while good one is, I am not going to buy Polar watch anymore as I think it is too early to have problem for a few years old watch. In other words, I have concern on the quality. This problem lead to to find out more on digital watch with GPS capability. Then only I realize there are so many makes and models for GPS wantches that can measure distance, pace, altitude, compass and so on. When we do not see any problem, we will always stick with the existing solution and hence we hardly improve. Therefore, problems and needs are the key ingredients to innovation.
Now I am considering either Suunto or Garmin for my next outdoor activities watch. The first event that I will use it will be the sundown ultramarathon in Singapore on 25 June.
Yes, like the tagline says, "Sleep can wait."
