Ni> I've always liked watches, since I was a kid.. I've often enjoyed
Ni> wearing a watch, especially when I was younger; when I was a kid, one
Ni> of my favorite watches was a calculator watch (I'd had a couple of
Ni> them, one which may have been a Casio, and I remember having a Timex
Ni> as well); I also liked the Timex Triathalon watches.
I also like watches. I had a Bulova Caravelle for the longest time,
but it stopped working and I went 'cheap' after that. I mosty use
Casio analog or digital. I currently have 7 watches, one for each
day. Mon - Casio Forrester, Tue - Stauer retrograde vintage, Wed -
Vermont Country Store manual, Thur - Thrift store Citizen, Fri -
Garmin Vivo, Sat - Thrift store Relic and Sun - Casio W291H
digital.
The Thrift store watches were 25 cents each, then I put a battery
in them and they work great. The only digital is the W291H. I like
that but prefer analog. The Garmin is something I don't really
like and don't wear it much. I don't have any smart watches, don't
really care for the 'always connected' functionality.
People now days need to be 'connected' constantly. I'm not into
that. I think technology has it's place, but you need to be able to
unplug from that in order to stay sane. All I see kids doing is
staring at their phones (or watches as the case may be). Adults
also. I went to a restaurant and there was a family with 2 kids.
None of them were talking to each other. They were all staring at
their phones. At the store someone walked right into me while they
were staring at their phone. Seems like everyone is a zombie. No
talking. They are connected, but not there. Everyone wants instant
gratification. Sometimes the wait is worth it.
Ni> Anyway, I feel like I'm rambling a bit now.. Just thought I'd share.
Thanks for sharing.
I also feel like I'm rambling! Guess we have that in common...
