Just Another Watch Collection

Hey there thanks for reading this blog of mine. I don't have the biggest watch collection by any means but I enjoy them. Ill be going by order on when I got the watches so with out any more delay

1st Watch: ²Q Skin Irony [Swatch] 

(Image failed to load!)

This was the first watch in my collection (not counting a watch I grabbed off a store shelf) and I honestly adored it. I adored it as I'm a huge James Bond 007 fan and it's based off my most favorite character Q! (bit upset that in the film it doesn't have a gadget affiliated with the watch but what can you do?) I still quite like it today how you can you can see the inside of the watch very Gadget an esque. But all thing aside I actually don't really wear this watch all that much anymore

Watch #2: 2010 Olympic Volunteer [Swatch]

(Image failed to load!)I found this watch ironically when looking for a 2010 Olympics Canada jersey. I actually quite liked the look of it and for the price of $20 it was a steal in my opinion. I mainly got it because it reminds me when the 2010 Olympics was a big deal where I lived. I remember going to see the torch walk with my family and the entire passionate atmosphere. It was a pretty cool time to be around in my opinion.

The watch even features a pretty decent Lume in the dark. All be it goes rather dim quickly but if for some reason there is a quick power outage and your looking at your watch, this works great! Honestly it's not very practical for my skinny wrist but for somebody who says it's too big, the Olympics itself was Big! 

Watch #3: Casio A700 [Casio] 

(Image failed to load!)

I'm wearing this watch right now as I'm writing this blog. Quite honestly this is one my most favorite watches I've seen so far. I first saw it on @benswatchclub YouTube channel and it got me hooked. Ben Arthur gave it pretty good praise and I could see why, however I went for the alternate colour scheme because I liked the slightly more retro colours (don't know about gold though). But more honestly because it was cheaper. I'm by no means to be a qualified watch reviewer but this watch is purely a bang for your buck, I highly recommend if you're thinking about getting it or not because I was in the same boat you were in.

Watch #4 (so far at least): Casio F-91W [Casio] 

(Image failed to load!)

Most of the time if you are wanting a digital watch or what the public thinks of when they hear digital watch is probably the Casio F-91W. At least that's my experience because it's what my family got as a gift the last Christmas. I don't need to go too in depth as I'm sure you already know about tons of the Casio F-91W but in my opinion for this particular model the gold actually looks decent? I didn't think I'd like a gold watch but this one isn't half bad. Maybe because everyone knows it's not real gold and it's sort of more a humble homage to the 80's styling but I actually quite like it. Incredibly light weight and actually forget it's there to be honest. Overall I see the popularity of the model with its case shape and size. Everything works well on it. 

Thanks again for looking at the images or reading the blog. I'd like to hear your collection of your watches in the comments below maybe we can even have a discussion. Next watch (planning) the Casio Royale. Dont loose track of time, See ya!

Get out now and don't look back. Watch collecting is a Neverending obsession which will leave you in financial ruin. With that in mind the Casio Royle is an excellent choice for your next purchase. I love mine dearly! You've been warned.

Hahah yep...now imagine 4 miss aligned ticks on your bed side. I'm up every night. (I'm just kidding around but I do usually have to put them in my dresser so you can't hear it
