I've also just done that as well.

I looked at the manuals for 3 watches I have; A Bulova, a Casio and a Festina. And all 3 manuals refer to the sticky out things on the side of the case as, wait for it, you guessed it; buttons.

Those brands sound a bit foreign... translation fail, if you ask me.

Sixty five foot poles? Don't be silly. They only have one or two legs, so where are you going to put all these feet?
Would that be sixty five-footed poles?
No, an indeterminate number of Poles with 65 feet. It's mayhem when a family of them go shoe shopping!
