Timed Right

One of the long time standing things I have owned since my childhood has been a watch.  It was like the coming of manhood when I could read time on an analog face. Granted I was six at the time when I got my first watch with Kermit the Frog behind the arms with green leather band, but I felt like a man back then.  To this day, a watch compliments a wardrobe.  I have many watches to suit different occasions but the one I wear on a daily basis is my Timex Expedition.

What makes this watch so great is its durable construction.  It has a metal exterior holding in a glass face that doesn’t seem to scratch.  I have worn it underwater without issue and it seems to take any beating I can give it, including home repair. The one negative part about the watch’s construction always seems to be the band.  No matter the type of band that I have gotten for this watch, be it Velcro, leather or plastic, the band deteriorates on a yearly basis practically.  This is the one spot on the construction of what is actually a very good watch.  It is easily replaced at any local discount store but the quality of the replacement tends not to be any better.  I take it as part of the maintenance of such a good time piece.

Overall it is a very reliable brand that I have used since my teen years.  My everyday watch needs to be able to go through lots of different scenarios and trials of life.  This is a standard of my daily life.  I never lose time when I wear one.
