A: If we start dying the day we are born, then would it not behoove us to appreciate our fleeting existence instead of passing from one distraction to the next? A mobile phone is a stunning achievement in technology, but it does little to further the human experience. They are effective devices for communicating, but they’re also a gateway to addicting, wasteful distractions. But wearing a wristwatch is a constant, visible reminder that your life is not unlimited. Each flick of the second hand is a tangible signal of your eventual demise. We are all dying men, and our perishing only accelerates when we fall oblivious to the inexorable period at the end of our sentence. A wristwatch is a stylish reminder that we are always running out of paper and ink.
So, dead man, here’s 20 watches under $200 that might catch your eyes… before they close forever.
Skagen “Holst” SKW60605 Multi-Function – $84.62 ($145)
Well that’s an extremely nice price for this slim, Danish designed piece of wrist candy. Japanese quartz. Subdials give you the day and date. Layered dial helps add some nice depth to its looks. Full review here. UPDATE: Price went up on these overnight. Might be a good idea to sit tight for awhile. They should drop, if not at Amazon, at Nordstrom or somewhere else.
Blue Chevron Dial Timex T2P4519J – $33.81
Better looking in person than it looks on Amazon. This one does have the loud “tick” that some Timex’s suffer from. So, if you’re susceptible to going mad over the “tick…Tick…TICK” some Timex weekenders can make, then best to skip this one. Nice chevron pattern on the inner dial. 40mm Brass case. Indigo back-light.
Orient Bambino Original or Vintage Look – $182 w/ Dappered30 ($260)
Obligatory mention of these two. You can often find the original model on Amazon
for the low to mid $100s. The vintage look models are a bit tougher to
come by, and often sell out on the Orient USA website. Domed crystal on
both. In-house automatic movement. 40.5mm case diameter which looks good
on most wrists. A new classic. In person review with the vintage look can be found here, while the review of the original design can be found here.visualizzare più orologi imitazioni e replica watch
