 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...
