yup totoong essential ito. puts the modern in man. hehe!

para sa akin, rather than wear common jewelry, watch na lang. and invest in a good one yung pwede rin mai-sangla just in case in the future.
kapag uso naman kasi, mga 1 year lang yung lifespan kasi hindi mo na susuotin after lalo na kung hindi na uso.




my 2 cents on watches... its better to invest on the classics at least di maluluma after a year... ano bang mga classic design?
a. typical dress watch - round and thin watches with black or brown leather strap
b. sports watch - divers or chrongraphs... kung modern twist sports oriented digitals
c. modern - usually rectangular or square watch.

brands? from affordable to uber expensive mayroon nung classic designs.

yup, i totally agree na instead na necklace, bracelet, ring... relo na lang :D

i got what you are thinking. ditto.
even for the "branded" ones, i get the classic designs since it is still the same throughout the years.

lucky you. would have wanted a new watch for my birthday, kaso ang mahal ng gusto kong watch. hahaha


congrats! sa mga bagong relo!

ako naman kelangan kong bumili ng battery at ipakabit...

ung isa naman kelangan ko pa full maintenance, nagsimula sa atradong oras ngayon seconds na lang umaandar patay na ang minutes & hour hands :( hopefully next year may budget sa pagpapaayos.

lastly, ang tanging relo kong umaandar... di ko naman magamit fully dahil hirap humanap ng battery para sa chest strap. gamit ko kasi ito for monitoring my HR pag tumatakbo, bike at buhat.

meron ba sa inyo who go for the "de-cuerdas" type of watches or at least the automatic ones?

the one with the overdue calibration/maintenance is an automatic.... afaik every 3 ata or 5 years ang maintenance and pagbalik ng relo sa iyo parang bago ulit since na-polish ulit ang bracelet. scratch proof naman ang salamin kaya no need to worry sa gasgas.

where do you have it maintained? i think yung mga classic and branded lang ang may dedicated service centers.

i love casio g-shock frogman
i also like the chrono automatic from swatch

di ko pa napamaintain and it lasted at least a decade bago naging in-accurate ang oras. yup, sa service center mismo dapat dalhin, and based from suggestions may mahusay na gumagawa sa sfo.

i read somewhere na average pala ang $400 na regular maintenance. kung tourbillon ang mechanism para kang bumili ng omega ang presyo... nasa $4,000 to 6,000 daw! pero kung afford mo namn ng tourbillon type watch, barya ang maintenance hehehe

3 RELO KOH..
