I never knew til this day that a single watch could one day change the way I live my life in a variety of ways. Regardless of the style a timepiece can be, chronograph or diver, simply wearing a watch has figured out its way to change the aspects of my maturity to a brand new level.

Recently I have spoken with a close friend of mine who holds a pretty big love for watches like myself; I asked him a question about how much did a watch changed his life. His answer was remarkable as he responded, “To me watches has a huge place in my heart. Not only can you rotate your wrist to view what the current time is, it is a milestone of our age.” Hmm… His answer made me think a lot about how much a watch could evolve a person’s maturity and the way see ourselves in a charismatic perspective. My very first timepiece was a simple wooden watch that ran through regular battery unlike Eco watches that run automatically, therefore it may have a few more years left for it to survive before I’m required to replace its battery. *sigh* any-who, after I received this item through an Amazon gift card, I had begun to wear it as if it was the most important object that needed to be attached to my skin like how Iron Man needed his Arc Reactor for him to survive in a mandatory state. Here in this article I will also explain a few of my favorite watches that I constantly wear on all my busy o’ days.
Classic York by Daniel Wellington
Given from a dear friend of mine, this timepiece is an item that will for sure be in my collection! The Daniel Wellington Classic York watch showcases as to what a minimalist truly is in life. Mixing with a nice classic look, there is no need to add anymore fancy features. That is what Daniel Wellington succeeds at pulling each of their customers; for how they are simple enough yet built with mystic bronze material that shines as bright as the sun! I do understand most watches vary in price regardless of the branding, therefore the retail price of the Classic York from Daniel Wellington comes out at $229.
Fossil Bronson Chronograph
Every once in a while I tend to travel to far away places right? We all love to travel at a certain point in time! Sometimes we want to drive or fly outside of our home, leading ourselves to top touring sites such as New York, California, Oregon, etc.. However as a watch lover, Nothing beats any of my collection better than the Fossil Bronson Chronograph. This hefty guy may be a gigantic timepiece weighting like any Diesel model, although it gives out a big sporty vibe yet to me personally, it hands over a travel energy to me when I begin to travel long distances with my car. I sit back, grab a grip on my steering wheel, and I start heading down south over at Galveston, TX. But wait! What time is it? *Rotates my wrist to view the current time* Oh boy, look how beautiful this watch looks giving me that travel vibe with its sporty dial! Of course there are thousands or even MILLIONS of watches that send out a sporty yet travel dials, that being said this guy is hands down one of the best looking sporty watches I’ve owned. You can get your hands on this timepiece for only $169 over at the official Fossil store.
When it all comes down to time, it can be described through an abundance of meanings. Time is meant to go forward, never backward. You make a mistake or make a succession within a lesson in life, time is there to keep record of that decision that has been made by yourself. Everyone in this world has dealt with moments whether it was a loss of a loved one, a trophy he/she achieved by winning an Olympics or a being the best at a spelling bee contest! Everything is stored in time well kept for you to remember until the end has come. It’s a keepsake that is priceless yet special deep inside our hearts. Through my experiences in my life, there is definitely a reason as to why I love wearing watches. Every time I look down to view the current time in our present day, I begin to think to myself about how much I have come across so far in this generation. How I’ve succeeded staying healthy with a strong mindset intertwined with kindness & generosity. These little timepieces are like a messenger letting me know that now is the time to continue to improve; to continue to evolve. Us individuals enjoy recapping about our childhood inside our mind whenever it hits us emotionally while we view something that has led us to that moment of thinking, besides the badness that occurred in our past, goodness is also engraved in history while time does its work to gradually engrave more of these upcoming moments. Whenever I had purchased my very first watch which was a Citizen Eco, it felt like an entrance of understanding that adulthood is a part of a blessing, more of a privilege as I stay alive and well. Same to being rewarded with childhood then teen-hood, adulthood is almost as if reaching to your most prime level throughout your life. Watches are capable of changing a person’s life regardless of age and gender, although once you start seeing it the way I see these timepieces, then you’ll start to really learn its true abilities when you equip one. Again, it gives you a sort of energy, an increase to your maturity as you wake up every morning and work for your future while in the meantime that little guy is laying on either one of your two wrist. Watches changed me for who I am now, and I see it in a positive perspective. We may find reality a bit frightening, because we are aging as time moves forward when it functions. However never let that type of thinking defeat the best of you, consider this as a stepping stone. Step forward, continue to achieve while failing even though knowing that failing is only a way of telling you it’s not over, because time is there for you to send out a message stating that you are still here, with a beating heart filled with opportunities. Watches can improve a person’s life.
