What's wrong forwith my watch?

I looked at my watch to check the time and it was 4:30 pm.
Today is a national holiday so the library closes at 5. 30 minutes to go. I thought I would go to the library to return a book and check another book.

Then I got to there but it was closed. Why??

I asked a custodian if the library was closed today. He said it closed at 5 because of national holiday.
??? But it's still 4:30...
I asked him again what time it was now. He answered "6:10".

What?!?!

I couldn't understand for a while what happened.

My watch is run out of battery? No, it works. Low battery? No. Its second hand would move by two seconds to notify low battery. It is moving by a second.

It broke down? No---! It's my favorite. I have been using it about 15 years.
It's TAG HEUER so it should be very strong. When I bought it, a shop staff said, "TAG HEUER watches are very strong. Even if an owner (me!) died, this watch could survive". I don't think he spoke a good similitude but he is right.

I adjusted my watch to correct time. It's 7:47 pm now. It is working correctly so far.
I hope there is no problem to my watch.

The title should read:" What is wrong with my watch?" not "for my watch".

Thank you!
Actually I puzzled over this title. I was thinking which preposition I should have used. So I really appreciate your pointing out!

I wonder if you are Joe I know.

Hi, East,
Thank you for visiting my blog and putting the comment!
Actually my English conversation skill is much worse than my writing. So, yes, I want to be able to speak English fluently.
I'm very happy to hear your encouragement!

Hi Chaako,
I am fine, but for the last 6 months I have been too much busy at work. No free time for myself at all. Sounds familiar?

Joe,
Oh, no free time.
As for me, I'm not so busy now. So I can concentrate on studying English recently.
Are you still busy now? I guess you will take a long vacation after busy 6 months!
