What does he do?
tests it out
John looked up. One one side of his house, his neighbor, the MILFish Mrs. Terry was working in her yard watering flowers.

Across the street, his single, attractive and stylish neighbor Eve Sharpe was washing her VW bug.

No one seemed to be interested in him or the watch he just picked up. He looked at it. "Stop, resume, rewind?" he mumbled to himself. The watch had three buttons. He pushed the first down.
Suddenly everything went silent. He looked up. Eve was frozen in the act of washing her car. The water coming out of the spray nozzle was not moving. Mrs. Terry was similarly still. John opened his mouth to speak, but no sound came out. He looked at the watch. He pushed the second button.
Sound came back. John looked up at Eve washing her car again and Mrs. Terry watering her plants as if nothing had happened. He pushed the third button, but nothing happened. He twisted it, and as if he was in a movie and someone had hit the "rewind" button, water went back into Eve's nozzle, and into Mrs. Terry's watering can. He saw a bird flying in reverse. He stopped twisting the button, and the world started moving forward again.
"Well, fuck me!" John mumbled. "I can have some fun with this!"
