with all my might

I will continue looking for my watch with all my might. Besides, I am considering to buy another watch you like as the replacement if I still can not find it.
I will continue looking for my watch with all my efforts. If I can't find it, I'll consider buying one to compensate you for your loss.

Hi,
Is it better to reword the first in the above as the second? If not, please enlighten me. Thanks.

" I'll continue to put a lot of effort into finding my watch, but if I still can't find it, I'll buy you another one. Note that you said it's "My watch" but you're buying one for someone else. Did you mean "your watch"?

Looking for a watch doesn't seem like something you do "with all your might."

I'll continue to put a lot of effort into finding my watch, but if I still can't find it, I'll buy you another one.

Note that you said it's "My watch" but you're buying one for someone else. Did you mean "your watch"?

So far today, you've lost his watch, his math notebook, and his handout. You need to get some sort of briefcase.

Thanks, GG, for the reminder.

Actually, it's not I that lost his stuff but my pupils do. They had to write a composition about losing their friend's things.

I didn't really think that YOU had lost all those things, but I was curious about the theme.
