A round up for Skyler’s news feed!

Hello watch friends! 🙏🏼

Here is a round up of what is going on in my life with watches, travel, and anything else a have to mention 😊

The original Casio (MRW 200H 1BVES) travel watch of 2023 is nearing the end of the journey, thank you to everyone who took part in the inaugural trip.

My idea to post a watch around (the country) turned into a world trip! #watchjourney2023

Participants listed below –

@Stracerwatches23 - UK

@WatchCrunch - thank you for creating the travel badge for people to have on their profiles having had the Casio. And all the support going forward.

Everyone took this little Casio into their hearts and showed it a very good time. Modifications were made and some brilliant photos and memories made. And for me some new friends. I will do a full review on my own page once the watch returns to me.

Next up the @williamwoodwatches firefighter travel watch, my idea to use one of their watches to send around serving firefighters in the UK, this was a idea I had once I’d heard of the story from William Wood and Jonny about the watches he/they created, the story just rang with me and I thought it would be a great watch to travel around the fire stations.

So far 6 firefighters have worn the watch with the next participant part of the fire service ICE HOCKEY team, should be some fun photos to follow, thank you to Jonny and the team for the Ruby Bronze William Wood watch. These watches are high quality and if you haven’t seen them in person, I urge you to do so.

I have a new RedBar meet in April to go to and I’ve asked Stu @hawkrigger about some stickers and business cards to showcase his products, he also sent me a watch strap! I love these straps he’s created. Thank you Stu.
