New Watch
People say they don't have to wear a watch any more since cell phones do what watches have done. I am one who does not agree with this idea. Although I always carry my cell phone everywhere, I prefer to look at the watch on my wrist. Besides the practical reason of time-keeping, there is another reason to wear a watch. It can be a luxury item. I cannot deny that I would like to show off with a pricey one if I could afford it, however I am much more practical regarding watches.
When I decided on a few criteria, when I bought a new one.
It needs to harvest the energy from the environment where it is being used. I don't want to wind the watch every morning or to change the battery once every few years. It can be a solar watch, which generates electricity from the light. It can be a kinetic, which converts the kinetic energy to electricity. It can be automatic, which winds a spring by the user's movement.
It must show the time, day and date.
It must have a dual-time function, because I need to check time in Seoul frequently.
It must have all the above information on the dial or face. I don't want to push a button to check the other time zone or date.
It doesn't have to have bling-bling, but must have a decent design.
Its price cannot exceed $250.
I’d rather it be a radio-controlled one. Although watch makers are doing very well to make accurate watches, I want really exact one.
Based on the above criteria, I could easily narrow down the number of candidate watches. My final choice was the watch(LIW-M610D-2AJF) by Casio which makes a lot of cheap watches. The watches from the other brands cost a lot more than my choice.
A couple of months already have passed since I began to wear it and I am still satisfied with its design and functionality.
