Bernard's watch.

If you had it for 24 hours (starting now (now being your time reading this))
What would you do?

Be honest.
I might reveal mine at midnight.

Yes I do. If you're willing.

Don't forget that there were various things that would make it stop working, so theft etc is not possible.

tbh I'd probably use it to catch up on sleep/reading :colondollar:

Probably keep playing Far Cry 4, maybe help myself to a trolley of shopping from the local 24 hour Asda.

There's no real benefit to freezing time apart from the fact you can do all the stuff that you cant normally do because it's illegal. So I would

1) steal a **** ton of stuff (from big stores not independents) like a tv, laptop, anything I fancied really. Probably some expensive clothes, I shop based on price mostly so it would be nice to just take whatever I fancied.

2) probably have a wonder round peoples homes see what's what.

3) perv on people. I've lost count of people I want to see naked so here's my chance.

4) If I got bored of the above 3 (doubtless) I would just move stuff annd be mischievous. E.g. replacing someones pen with a banana unfreezing time and watching their confusion

My attention would be mostly focussed on number 3, my nob would be red roar

Brilliant. I could get all my revision done while the sun never moves.

I do wonder though, what still works when the watch stops time? Light? Gravity acting on you? Air? Since if the vital things also stop, I'd be dead quickly D:

I'd try to build something awesome out of Lego since I'd have all the time, maybe grab myself a few extra sets but not too much or it'll get suspicious.

I do hope I wouldn't discover beings that exist inbetween the timeframes of our reality, who know what they look like, or how they would react..

Ok nope I'll be staying inside most of the time and eat as much food and get as much revision done as I can before I go insane from the absolute silence of the planet and indescribable loneliness of being the only known animated being in the universe.

This is something I always wondered! Gravity seemed to work on Bernard but not on other things.
My big question was always about ageing? Do you age during the paused time, meaning you'll end up looking older faster?

I think the value of the watch would depend on what situation you're in at the time. If you had a major assignment deadline looming and you were struggling to get the work done, it would take the time pressure off. I used to watch Bernard's Watch. :smile:

Use it for exams: stop time and fill in the paper with lecture notes beside you :yep:

You get a new one for every timezone/country:

The actor eventually became a doctor, after spending a lot of time studying :mmm:

I dunno what I'd do with it, maybe freeze time to grow a beard, or try skydiving ..would it even work :moon:

no wait I'd learn to swim and maybe lift a few weights, break some world records in marathon races.

Read. Read a lot.

Alternatively I could spam TSR. Seriously I could post so much in 24 hours and each forum section would have 'last post by SirMasterKey'. Everyone would be like "Woah this guy needs a life but at the same time it is quite awesome that he was able to post so much in an instant...omg he's a robot...kill him!! :mob:
