short but can't understand it.....have a wrist watch on... the band broke and the watch fell in the sink full of water i picked it out drained the water from it and the watch never stopped working.
With the watch, I think of "time is on/at your side." The band breaks, meaning something is taking up your time. This thing that takes up extra time has an emotional connection. You say the watch keeps working. So either you feel this thing that's taking up your time is temporary, or you feel overwhelmed and see no way out at the moment.
I think it could also be a message that you can get through an obstacle that is in your way. Even though your watch falls in water (the obstacle) it still keeps working.
