Time Check

i am not a watch person. while growing up, i had many watches gifted to me but never grew fond of any of them. so naturally, either i forgot about them when the straps came undone or the batteries gave out or after i decided to not wear them for a time because i always had a watch strap tan line and i had to have my skin tone evened out. also, i hated that my skin got moist from perspiration just below the strap all the time.

anyway, lately, i got myself a cheap disposable watch and found it very handy while conducting FGDs, interviews and presentations. it kinda keeps me on track knowing every now and then how much time i have left to do my work without checking my cell phone which would be distracting. also, lately, i am less prone to being late to appointments. it's a refreshing change in my scurry-happy routine. kinda makes me think of investing in a good watch.

i want a watch that tells the time, that's it. even on other people, i was never really a fan of watches that double as fancy jewelry. i want a simple clean watch with a simple uncluttered face. something like these perhaps

now i just have to decide which font i liked, whether i'd get an all black model or a white-faced one (so difficult), oh and the when, where and how to get it, considering the last, and to me the most beautiful entry in this list costs USD 1200 or PhP 53,000!
