"EMP Proof! " With the watch back off like that, your watch is not very water proof.

I suppose it's easy to dismiss the opening scenario as improbable fiction. But.
In my LBS last week the owner was saying he was rushed off his feet, the gas prices in the UK reached £1.22 a litre in Oxfordshire, and people were mothballing their cars, especially for shorter trips to the local shops. The LBS mechanic was booked up weeks ahead, as people dusted off rusted up bikes.
The dissent in France and Spain lead to riots - fishermen blocked off ports in France, and Spanish truckers closed down the autovias.
The increase in the number of bikes on the streets here was very noticeable, and even London's roads seemed quieter....
Me? I'm stockpiling canned food and inner tubes...
