New Watch

I ordered a watch off ebay not-so-long-ago. I waited for its arrival with great anticipation, and when it got here I wasn't too disappointed. It's an automatic watch- and I was always under the assumption that automatic watches are expensive as fuck--- but apparently only the Swiss ones. I bought a Japanese automatic watch, which apparently isn't as reliable as the Swiss ones, but I figure if it breaks down in a couple of years, then that's an excuse to grab a new watch.

I paid about twice as much as I could've to buy a water-resistant model. Not that I ever swim with my watch on, or I drop my watch into water, but I'd prefer a water-resistant watch to quell my paranoia. Plus, I don't really have to take my watch off (apart from showering) this way. I love it that much.

It's much more comfortable with the familiar weight of a watch around my wrist. Not that there was anything wrong with my old watch, but I hate its look. I was wearing another watch for a while, but I left it behind when I moved for uni. As a consequence, I now have this beautiful olive green watch around my wrist, and I still haven't gotten over its prettiness. My only problem with it is that the band kinda scrapes against my wrist, and the day on the watch is written in a language which I suspect is Arabic, thus rendering the function useless.

Why is there Arabic on a watch made in Japan? I will never understand. But that's okay, date's more important than day...

So yeah, my watch is totally cool and super-convenient. I do have a phone which tells time, but it's horribly rude to pull out my phone during a lecture or during a tutorial. With a watch on my wrist, I can check the time without being overly conspicuous. Plus, I don't have to reach around in my pocket for ages for the purpose of telling the time.

My new watch is a lovely thing.
