What is your vacation watch?

2 days ago

Or in my case the question is: How many useless watches do I own? I’m ashamed – I have X number of watches and none of them really fit my vacation plans – hiking in China. So now I have X+1.

This is my fourth. Sorry, my fifth G-Shock. One I’ve sold. Two are very hard to read (I should sell them as well) and my gym G-Shock is too dark for a summer holiday. I tell myself.

And I’ve got a couple of non-swimmable Casios. I intend to swim during my time off.

I also got a pile of swimmable watches, but I don’t want to knock them up on a flight or on a train or just by lugging suitcases. Stupid, but I hate scratches. I really do. Some don’t have the necessary lume, half of my watches are wintery dark. I know it’s all excuses. But I think I found the perfect vacation watch – the GDB-200.

I’m apparently semi-blind, so this MIP-display and its backlight is perfect. Senior beige also coincides with my blindness – well it’s not beige, neither gray, but somewhere in between. Warm gray? Could that be the colour? It’s hard to define – try it out first if you find this one interesting.

And it got: worldtime, stepcounter, a running-feature, the best G-Shock bracelet so far in my experience and it looks like it’s ready for a sci-fi battle. Yes, it got notifications. But this a notification free summer, so all bleeps, buzzes are off for good.

And I’m travelling light. I’m not carrying a watch roll this time. This is the one.

Have a great summer!
