Who Watches the Watches?
No picture today. You know what? I don’t have to have a picture with every post. Seriously, are you going to stop reading because there is no photo? Of course not! You’ll stop reading because I’m writing something mind-numbingly boring (again) and not because of a lack of a photo.
So, the other day, which would was Monday, I wrote the post that “Women Flock to Men with Fancy Watches.” You know, if you abbreviate that title to “WFMFW”, it is the same backwards and forwards. WFMFW and WFMFW. Cool, eh?
Anyway, about watches. How about a Breitling watch? That must be some kind of fancy watch, because it looks fancy. Is it obvious I don’t know much about fashionable watches? I’d research it, but I’m too tired to do that. How about a Swiss Legend watch? I don’t know about those either. Skagen watches? What about STORM watches? Do you wear those when chasing tornados?
A-ha! Seiko. I have heard of Seiko watches.
I remember when those underwater watches were all the rage. The ones that were water-resistant enough that you could wear them scuba diving. Of course, most people didn’t wear them scuba diving or even scuba dive, but it was nice to know that their watch would survive if they did. They might drown, of course, but their watch would keep on ticking. Maybe it would be a nice heirloom. Here’s the watch your great grandfather wore when he drowned while scuba diving. No, he wasn’t a scuba diver. No, he did wear a rubber suit or take an oxygen tank. He just wanted to test the watch.
My grandfather had a water proof Timex watch. He had several watches. I remember back when my family would go back home to Michigan to visit and, on several occasions, it was my job to set my grandfather’s watches for daylight savings time. Wow. My grandfather’s been gone seven years now. It’s been a longer than that since I last set his watches…
I always thought those waterproof watches were ugly. Too bulky. My favorite watch is MY watch, which is a cool Swatch, with a clear band with sparkles, and then the face has cool, multi-colored numbers. It’s very cool, if you haven’t already deduced that.
I don’t care about “status” watches. Give me something cool. And something that actually tells time.
