I am a young (28 years old) boarding school teacher. I constantly hear from my students that they have no time in their days to read a book just for fun or wake up early and learn something new. I then ask them to check their screen time on their phones for the week. The results are always sobering.

I mention my age as I think I have a pretty good sense of time and how much we all have for someone my age. Having lost important friends and family since I was a kid, time ( and death I guess) has always been a minor obsession of mine.

Back to my students. I tell them that if they are awake for 16 hours, that's 32 half hours. If they use one of those half hours for reading/ development of skill/ exercise, they have no idea how much they can accomplish. Plus, a watch is a great way to mark your progress

Time is the most powerful thing in the universe. It's undefeated. You can't out think it, out work it, out run it. You just have to enjoy the ride, try to be the best you can be, and be good to each other, because no one is getting out of here alive.

Wear a watch. Enjoy every second.

I'll throw in my 2 cents. I have had 3. A silver 1964: sold. An orange 1975: sold. A panda 1964: keeper. And I may rebuy the 1975 lol.

Great,classic,quality quartz watches for the money.

This is awesome! I hope that whenever you look down at this on your wrist that you are ever inspired to do good in the world. That's all we can do at the end of the day. Wear it in good health!

Yikes! I had never heard of this brand before. I think I would only trust G-Shocks for ocean ready digital.
