My first yellow Sony Walkman Sports, the yellow one, fell into The Chuck while I was working on the pens at a fish farm. A week later it was found on a 'mort' dive and, yeah, I should've been more careful.

I was more careful with the second one and didn't trust the belt clip.

    Ha! I can confirm that the first one only succumbed because the 3.5mm let the water in. The second lasted, oh, longer than my discman. I remember using it in '94ish - 3+ years later - when I'd had a discman in '88ish. The cassettes were so much better on the move.
