The Shift Watch

Bare below the elbow

A lot of wards ask for bare forearms, which quietly rules out the watch you already own.
The fob watch is the old answer and still the right one: it lives on your pocket, not your
wrist, and it flips up to face you when you need it.

What’s in your hand

• Sweep second hand — the whole reason this exists. Respirations, pulses, drip rates.
• Silicone housing — soft edge, wipes clean, doesn’t clatter against a bed rail.
• Retractable clip — pull it up to read, let it go, it returns flat to your chest.
• Quartz movement — replaceable battery, no winding, no app.

Read it upside down

The dial is oriented for the person wearing it, not the person facing you. Glance down,
read it, carry on — without unclipping anything or breaking eye contact for longer
than you meant to.

Care

Wipe the housing and face. Splash-resistant, not for submersion — take it off before
it goes anywhere near a sink.
