Watches. I love them. I haven’t purchased one in quite some time. (no pun) I think they can make a look and kill one at the same time. Mechanical, quartz, chronograph, digital. Different watches for different looks and different styles for different people.

Watches can go for $10 to $10,ooo. You don’t have to spend a lot to get a well made time piece. A good watch will stand the test of time with proper care and maintenance.

Rules: (mine and some stuff I’ve read)

  1. Diamond encrusted hubcaps are not watches.
  2. A watch is not a bracelet. It should fit.
  3. Change the battery.
  4. I turn the stem out to stop a watch from running to preserve battery life when Im not wearing it

  Types of watches determine the price.

Mechanical watches are more expensive . The movement is controlled by a spring movement connected to gears and weights. These require a high degree of skill and craftsmanship which is shown in the price.

Quartz watches have fewer moving parts and are powered by an electrically charged piece of silver or quartz. It is inexpensive to make and they are extremely accurate.

Digital watches are just that. They run on a battery. I have one and I wear it outside in the yard or at my job.

Brands

Citizen . They make a good watch that actually runs off the kinetic energy of your body and they are relatively affordable. Its the ECO-Drive line.

Rolex . Expensive and if you can afford it, enjoy it.

Omega . The speedster is probably one of the most famous watches in the world. Developed by the Swiss for divers with the big face and numerals to see under water. ( this is the trend to the bigger watches of today)

Invicta . These are one of my favorites. They are inexpensive and well made and they look great. They can be found online and at most retailers.

  Who doesn’t love sunglasses? I do. But who hates paying $70-$300 a pair for good ones? I do. There are plenty of knock offs. Cheap Amazon brands that don’t look like the photo when you finally get them and then you realize why they were $10.00. Well, if you love great products at great […]

It’s a serious question that I have not heard anyone asking. Daily briefings, death counts, more restrictions, more misinformation, no debate, and a flailing economy waiting on trillions from a disconnected representative government trying to save it by subsidizing it. I’m one of the lucky ones I guess? My job at this time has been […]

Guests on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood were often surprised to find that although Rogers was just as gentle and patient in life as on television, he was nevertheless a perfectionist who did not allow “shoddy” ad-libbing;[29] he believed that children were thoughtful people who deserved programming as good as anything produced for adults on television. (Wikipedia)   “Hello Neighbor” Anyone at least […]

I wrote what seems ages ago about a new skincare line that was coming. Well, one baby ago it came. It’s been out for about 6 months and I’ve been using it. It is amazing! It has a face cleansing gel, an eye serum (late nite puffiness) hydrating creme,  and a restoring serum. (Think botox […]

This will post at exactly 9:30 pm on September 2nd. This is the exact time you came to us exactly 1 year ago, my little boy. I knew my life would change the day we realized we were having you. All the planning and details were all for naught, because you came early. So small. […]

Last year at this time, I had a family member pass from a tragic accident. Shocking that her life (that she lived to the fullest) came to an abrupt and tragic end. We scurried around for weeks cleaning out her house. Looking at old memories and finding a lot of things I did not know. […]

9 Months old. I can’t believe it! Still tiny (1%) but everything is progressing right on point. Baby gates, baby proofing, school, college, and life, are the thoughts are flooding my mind. What do I tell him about his future? What direction do I point him in so he doesn’t make the same mistakes I […]
