People says shoes tell a lot about a person, and most woman believes fingernails define a man... I believe watches do tell a little about a man history, experience and vision. Let me share some here...
Invicta Pro Diver, I got it this year for my father day gift. Isn't it ring a bell for a lot of watch collector? Yes, it is like replica of our long love timepiece Rolex Submariner. It is a detour for me, feel like wearing expensive timepiece without leaving a hole in my wallet. I can wear it daily, abuse it without feeling much pain. After all it is a gift from K.
Suunto Advizor, I bought it year 2007 while my another
HRM was broken. It has many functions like Compass, Barometer, Altimeter, Heart Rate Monitor and Time. I have been using it for my bicycling. So far it meet what I need unless it has a very bulky profile and having very short battery life (I think is 2 years).
Casio
Illuminator. I bought it in
Wal Mart in 2004. I bought this watch because I need a watch with least attention, and function. This watch fit in my budget, with Dual Time Zone, 30 Data Bank and 10 year battery life. I have wore it to my
unforgettable China trip. During that time, it functioned as an alarm clock to wake me up. I still wear it
nowadays for jogging and swimming.
Kenneth Cole. After years of digital and bulky type of watch, I started looking for something with low profile, classic, simple and clean. Then I found this watch in 2000. People said this watch does not suit my personality. However I have wore this for long, even my wedding picture was with this. You all will still find this on my wrist in some
occasion.
Timex
Ironman. I bought this watch while the Casio G Shock was making fashion statement. I believe it is sometime 1997. I like this watch, because it was unique while everybody was wearing G Shock. It is rugged, and having a very cool blue I
ndiglo light mode. It is very good match back in my very active life in college.
BUM Equipment Individual. My first leather belt watch, I received it as a gift back in 1996. I did not like it but it is from a very important person in my life. I was so care about this watch until I did not want wear it. After years this watch with me, I don't think I have wore it for more than 5 times. Now, it is idle as a vase with history.
Seiko Kinetic. So far the oldest watch I am having. I have had it since 1995. My mother bought it to me.
Every time I look at it, I remember my mother and I shopped in the store that time. My first steel belt watch, with
Sapphlex Crystal
len. Over years, the
len still very clear. Needless to say, it has a lot of scratches from the time on the bezel.
After all, my piece of watch must be something I can put on my wrist, to wear it, to abuse it and will not feel bad while it got scratched.
